  • New Glasses

    Probably was just me, but could not get here yesteday afternoon. Have a new pic available… Pic of my new glasses… Found the buttons for the Netmind.com service. Like the thought of a service that check for updates for me. Maybe I am a slacker and should do my own checking, but a reminder email helps…

  • Debug Abated

    Found some reference sites on Perl… hoping to debug this script, but not today… have to go get my brother. *sigh* See ya tomorrow.

  • Superbowl

    Rather enjoyed the Superbowl, writing and reading between commercials… Thought that the 2 new Budweiser commercials were actually hilarious. The GTI commercial with the 2 guys looking up in the oak tree wsa great. Probably because I have been in the situation of trying to knock something out of a tree on many occasion.

  • Content-Type: text/plain

    Hmmmmmm…. of course a problem with emails not showing up in an email program would have to be due to people not giving the correct Content-Type header information. I mean, who in their right mind would use “Content-Type: text” when it should be “Content-Type: text/plain” with the charset… doesn’t everyone know that? The weblog scene…

Now I have to discover WHAT they found…

  • Premature end of script headers

  • LotR

    The new Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring theatrical trailer is out. This movie promises to surpass all of the dumbing down fantasy has done to movie audiences everywhere. Willow is probably my favorite fantasy move of all time with The Dark Crystala close second. Going to be a good Christmas! Found a pretty nifty…

  • Script Kiddies

    Got a scare at work… Searching for porn on the school’s search engine puts one of my home pages in the number 2 slot. Turns out I have a link to Furniture Porn. Yesterday was pretty cool. Gave 3 presentations to some 7th graders for Career Day. A couple of them are really interested in hacking…

  • Privileged

    Feel very privileged sometimes. Matters of crushing weight have never really bogged down my life. Death, economics, misuse… these are all things I have been able to abstract because their impact have never really been much of a factor in my life. For instance, with death, out of all the people I know well, only…
