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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

Here’s a toast to the last reader of this blog, after most others likely have chucked it from their RSS boxes and scooted it off the blog rolls. Heck, and my list of unread feed items stretches down to Ecuador. So hello to the last lonely reader of this dog tired blog…… It’s coming up […]
Ponderings likely not worth reading… What is traveling without inane stories of airport mishaps? What is an appropriate way to answer the question when someone invariably asks, “how was your flight?” — do you want a flight to be anything but uneventful? It was not until I was on the plane leaving a gorgeous sunny […]
It’s been almost a year since I had a bone to pick with flickr regarding their less visibly known process of stamping accounts consisting of their definition of screenshots as NIPSA (Not In Public Service Area) (the whole story is serialized.) The issue for me was I had set up a pro account to house […]
This “moment” on twitter has lasted at least a week: The ‘moment’ might be, “How long until out über cool technology is bought by Google/Rupert/Yahoo/Microsoft/….”? Pity the poor start up that cannot be munched for 1.65 billion. And pour me another ’57 Chevy.
The Twitter update WP plugin has not worked for months so was pleased to see that Alex King, veteran pluing author, has released Twitter Tools, that updates Twiiter when you post a new entry, but can also pull in your tweets to a Wp blog as a sidebar, and optionally publish a pile of your […]
