Car Watching?
Monday, August 30th, 2004Since I have a webcam on my desk, now I get to watch an employee’s car for people keying it. Apparently someone is. Maybe I’ll catch me some key-ers.
Joke and Comments
Thursday, August 26th, 2004So I was reading the new September Playboy issue and came across this joke:
Scientific research recently revealed evidence that female hormones are present in beer.
A group of twenty men were given six pints of beer each.
One hundred percent of men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn’t drive, failed to think [...]
MT Upgrade Finally
Monday, August 23rd, 2004Wow, I finally took the plunge and upgraded my Movable Type installation to version 3.0. Many visual improvements, although a rebuild of my site seems to take a wee bit longer than on MT 2.661. Fixed the comment templates too. We’ll see how this pans out.
Perl vs PHP5 Part II / Blogging
Friday, August 20th, 2004Wow. I didn’t realize allowing MT to trackback would get so much of a response for my rant! Brian answered a comment, and now I feel retarded. Maybe next time I feel like trackbacking, I need to re-read stuff before I comment on it, and maybe do a little bit of research while im at [...]
Perl vs PHP5
Friday, August 20th, 2004brian d foy writes in this article, O’Reilly Network: Perl versus PHP 5, that he’s seen a lot of complaints about how hard it is to install modules in Perl. Now either he doesn’t use Perl, or maybe he just doesn’t know.
perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Module::Name’
That’s it. PHP doesn’t have a vast module network. I [...]
Scott’s Coupon/Refill Rant
Thursday, August 19th, 2004Scott has an interesting rant on using coupons and getting refills.. Although I’ve seen people save $30 on a $100 grocery ticket, I can understand having to wait in line, especially when you got a 33 pound squirming baby on your left arm!
I’m taking a stance on something. I don’t use coupons, and I don’t [...]
Im bored
Wednesday, August 18th, 2004Man I’m bored. It’s Wednesday, although it feels like a Monday, I had jury duty yesterday, they kept me until 7pm, but luckily I didn’t get picked.
We got ANOTHER new coffee pot from Aramark today, when will this insanity end???
(We’ve been getting coffee machines like crazy lately, the dumb women who work here keep putting [...]
Linux World Days 1-3
Wednesday, August 4th, 2004Jeez, I keep forgetting to write about LinuxWorld.. First of all, sitting on a bed and using the laptop gets very uncomfortable after about 20 minutes in one position.
The weather has been great here.. high 50’s at night and high 60’s in the daytime.. The conference has been great, got so much free stuff, im [...]
Linux World Arrival
Sunday, August 1st, 2004Made it to San Francisco this afternoon for Linux World. The weather is real nice, about 68 degrees right now.. The hotel is decent, but the wireless seems to be flaky, it’s acting like a linksys router or something.. every minute or so it drops me. I’ve got the same issues in linux and windows [...]
