National Do not call Registry
Monday, June 30th, 2003The National Do not call Registry is up! Finally they’re doing something about phone-spam. Now for the next step, a national do not spam registry for email! haha that would be one HUGE database.

Livejournal Sux
Wednesday, June 25th, 2003Biggest mistake I ever did was install a livejournal server. This software is VERY unmanageable. I want to be able to delete all these damn duplicate users, I also want reports of how many entries users have made and how long its been since they’ve logged in.

Sweet powers of liquid Nitrogen

GPS Recievers
Friday, June 20th, 2003I am currently using an old Garmin GPS 12. I want to get one that supports WAIS like the Garmin eTrex Legend. Man, money NEEDS to grow on trees. WAIS is much nicer because its accurate to 3 meters instead of about 30 meters, and when you’re looking for something on the ground thats [...]

Friday, June 20th, 2003Well, just got back last night from YAPC America in Boca Raton, FL. It was a great conference, and its got me in the mood to do some real perl programming for once. Although I’m having problems thinking of something that I can write, thats not a web based app. Visited Palm Beach, it was [...]
