Just got a headset for doing audio chatting… too much feedback from the laptop speakers and crappy built in micorphone. C’mon Skype me! “How about a super kids meal? C’mom, trans-fats are fun”I never worked fast food 😉
NBC’s “hit show” Medium is about a psychic who is helping solve cases in what is purported to be Phoenix, Arizona. I believe it is the “Phoenix, near Burbank”. It looks like they are not wasting any money on location shots, because I have yet to see a cactus, a desert rabbit, a creosote bush, […]
Just a few clicks after posting about digging out interesting link information via del.icio.us and furl, a comment there from Carmen highlighted some more tools to my toolchest. It had been some time since I had seen Durl, which accesses data from del.icio.us and eeks out some backlinks trends, a mini screen shots. In addition, […]
Whew! Today was the day we triggered announcement emails on the final reviews of our internal grants program, MCLI Learning Grants. This is a completely homegrown, online system where all applications, reviews, management, and year end reports are done online. The task today was to run a script that rummages through the database, pulls the […]
A week silently passed on my simple IT help desk request (read the sad story). There was now a consequence as the main page for our site was hijacked via the vulnerability I reported (see the blurb on this, we were definitely not alone).

I got a recent email from Liz Dorland, chemistry faculty at Mesa Community College, and maybe one of 7 people in our district who read this blog (You are never famous in your own country, Hi Liz!). She shared form […]
Apologies again, as this server, also the host of Feed2Js, went south for about 10 hours Friday night – Saturday morning, just like last week. I had found in the server logs where the services were crashing, but nothing to indicate a cause nor why it was able to restore itself. Given it occurred at […]

They did not look tired at all. It was cowboys, cowgirls, clowns, dogs, young republicans, vegan protesters, […]
Now that the Furl-Delicious-Frassle-CiteULike-Connotea-Bag Bookmarklet Tool (a simepl web form to help you build a one click browser bar tool for adding web sites to various collections) seems to be working– I decided to make another tool. This one helps you create a browser bar button for quick searching of any MovableType weblog, as described […]
