I really do not want to learn a new web programming language. In my first round, through the late 1990s, it was perl, than I made the jump to doing my web stuff in PHP. Now of course, the rage and sexy code is done in Ruby — any slick new web site that moves […]
Quickly. Little time to blog. A year ago today was my first day on the job at NMC, just a year gone by and so many things have happened. It reminds me of the old Lorne Green A,lpo commercials where hs says something like: Hi. I’m Lorne Greene. And this is my pal, CogDog. You […]
My Twitter IM Buddy just keeled over again: Popularity has a high price.
MediaWiki – love the app, hate the documentation, a term used loosely. Here is a normal set of steps it took to find the answer. What I was looking for was that special MediaWiki URl you need to use to edit the sidebar links of your site. Go to the bookmark I had for MediaWiki […]
It’s our last night of a weekend in Strawberry, and we’ve already burned through our rented DVDs. Reaching into the archives here, we’re watching All The Presidents Men on VHS. Beyond the fluffy 1970s hairstyles, I was struck by some comparisons waiting for the tape to get to the movie, especially as our viewing of […]
I’ve heard raves and howls about Dreamhost for web hosting, but my experience so far as been stellar. I really like the one-click install / updates for WordPress; previously, the announcement of a new 0.01 update I might delay a few days, weeks to get around to backing up the database, de-activating plugins, backing up […]
I’ve made us here (and there and there) of Clustrmaps, the free web tool that can pin your web site visitors to a map by reverse geolocation mapping of their IP address. It’s very cool, and has the great attribute of what I am attracted to in Web 2.0 land- it’s free, easy to set […]
Whew, finally got around to cleaning out my Google Reader. Not to say that I actually “read” them all, but sifted through, and Shift-A’d through some feeds with 100+ unread items lurking. Of course, this screenshot may imply that I don’t subscribe to anything. By the time I publish this post, the sidebar will start […]
I like Shorpy, “the 100 year-old photo blog”: Shorpy.com is a photo blog about what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating. We’re starting with a collection of photographs taken in the early 1900s by […]
Will trying to track down some info on Apache and virtual hosts on a technical discussion forum, I found this explanation from one writer who was trying to explain the delay in responding: Yep, I started describing the steps to enable split access logs, and decided to run out and paint the doors. Yep. Sounds […]
