  • Twitter

    In early March, I discovered Twitter by reading this post on Jamie’s blog. I immediately signed up for an account. Even though Jamie’s blog claimed that he didn’t see an immediate application for it, I did. Lois and I follow the lives of our godchildren via their away messages. 🙂 That’s useful, but […]

  • Welcome WordPress 2.2 🙂

    Announcement went out 35 minutes ago, and I’ve already successfully upgraded. Haven’t touched anything that’s new, but here it is, waiting to be abused. 🙂

  • Eric Sink and Sourcegear Rock!

    I’ve been a T-Shirt nut my whole life. I have hundreds of them, and prefer to wear one over any other form of shirt. So, when Eric Sink offered up an opportunity to earn a very cool Sourcegear T-Shirt, I couldn’t resist. 🙂 As promised, here are front and back shots of me […]

  • New Machine

    On April 23rd I announced the christening of my new server. At the time, I put the percentage of services that had been ported over at 95. It’s been at least 5 days since I’ve been at 100%, so the new machine is definitely “official”. Everything has been updated to point to the […]

  • April Poker Update

    Since I’m not likely to be playing tonight, I can post my April Poker results now. I invested (risked) a total of $352 during the month. I played in 24 tournaments. 16 were 1-table Hold’Em tourneys for $11 each, and 8 were multi-table Omaha Hi/Lo tourneys for $22 each. Without attempting to, I […]

  • Christening a new server

    I’ve been quiet lately, not because I had nothing to say, or no time to say it, but I’ve been busy building a new server. I didn’t want to post to the old one, once I got the blogging software running on the new one, with the database correctly migrated over. Since that […]

  • Networking mystery solved!

    I run my own server for a variety of things, and I’m the SA (SysAdmin). I get a kick out of it, so I don’t find it to be a grind. One of the things that I run is a Jabber server. On my laptop, I use GAIM to connect to it. I’ve […]

  • XM Radio

    Two years ago, very good friends of ours bought me an amazing present, a Roady 2 XM Radio player, along with a monthly subscription. I had thought about getting one before they got it for me. It’s a relatively obvious thing for people who spend as much time in the car as we […]

  • I’m a Phone Weenie

    OK, I admit it. Rob Page, CEO of Zope Corporation officially coined me a phone weenie a number of weeks ago. He’s right. Of course, he also directly benefits from that feature in me, since I am the primary Asterisk PBX administrator at Zope Corp. 😉 So, what does it mean to be […]

  • SPAM is back under control

    I know, what a silly thing to say, and in public at that! Previously, I posted on my woes in having old SpamBayes filtering starting to fail and new procmail rules that I foolishly put in myself causing me to suffer from spam more than usual. I am happy to report that it’s […]
