  • RIP Yahoo! Photos

    Yahoo To Shut Down Yahoo Photos In Favor Of Flickr You have until September to move all your photos. UPDATE 17-JUN-2007: I have imported 511 pictures at Yahoo! Photos to my Flickr account. The migration tool was kind enough to mark all of them as private. However, though untagged. 🙁 I’m working through them, updating…

  • Consolidation

    Everything is miscellaneous, right? Well, my categories in this blog were quite numerous and growing all the time with subcategories. They got to the point my desktop client, Deepest Sender, had more than a screen’s height of categories. The side bar required over a whole screen height on my 20″ monitor to display. Unmangeable….

Just about everything starts with a few SQL statements I’ve come to memorize. Outside of that, every request has a number of nuances…

  • Waste Not

    Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of forwarded or group invites for kinds of things about not buying gas for a day, not buying gas from the two largest oil companies, or even everyone not using electricity for an hour (One Hour NO Power). These are ambitious endeavors for problems I agree are present. My…

  • What two web sites would you combine? Why? Let’s Make Website Mashups, Like Netflickr, Figg and BoingPress: It seems to me — for the purposes if this column — that the best way to reduce this clutter is to combine domains, creating a new site that incorporates the strengths of both the originals. I call…

  • Remember the commercials for the cereal where the kids decide to give Mikey the stuff to see if he likes it? Someone sent me a WordPerfect document. Its been years since I got one of those. Office XP obviously doesn’t open it without scouring the Microsoft web site for the coverters. Before subjecting myself to…
