Excellent Geeky Mac Freeware : July 16, 2004 : Note 0

I’ve recently found two excellent freeware apps for my Mac.  Both of them are tied to the CLI, but add GUI front-ends. The first one I found several days ago is called GeekTool.  It’s a Preference Pane that allows you to display…

Switch Over Begins : July 14, 2004 : Note 0

The switch over from Lunarpages to pMachine Hosting has begun, and is actually almost done.  Some people will still go to the old Lunarpages server.  Others will see the new pMachine Hosting one.  If you can see this message, then you’re at the new server. I’ve still got some weirdness…

Tolkien Estate Gets Ridiculous : July 14, 2004 : Note 0

Apparently, the Tolkien estate feels like it owns the word “shire”.  It has cracked down on someone who owns the shiremail.com domain, saying that the use of the word “shire” was a bad thing since it confused people into believing the domain was somehow connected…

Web Host Problems : July 13, 2004 : Note 3

I’m sure some people have noticed how horribly slow my site was at times, especially within the last several weeks.  Some people emailed me and told me about it, and I saw it for myself at a friend’s house a couple weeks back.  It would take at least several seconds…

Delaying the Election Process? : July 12, 2004 : Note 2

OK… this doesn’t make any sense.  There’s chatter out there that says Al-qaeda is thinking about some kind of attack that would disrupt the election process here in the US.  So what ingenious master plan do Tom Ridge and Homeland Security come up with to deal with it? 

iTunes Sells 100,000,000 songs! : July 12, 2004 : Note 0

Wow… Apple’s iTunes Music Store recently sold its 100 millionth song.  The lucky winner of the special 40GB iPod, 17” Powerbook and 10,000 song iTunes gift certificate is Kevin Britten of Hays, Kansas. Kevin Britten of Hays, Kansas downloaded “Somersault (Dangermouse remix)” by Zero…

Some More Site Features : July 12, 2004 : Note 2

I’ve enhanced an already cool feature I just added to the site.  I took the live comment previewing and added formatting buttons.  I had to quickly learn JavaScript regular expressions in order to figure out how to get the live preview to understand and display the Link and Email button…

Pardon the Mess : July 09, 2004 : Note 0

I’m going to be working on fixing this site in IE for a bit, so please ignore the mega-ugliness for now. Hopefully I can fix the problems within an hour or so.

I Now Own a PC : July 08, 2004 : Note 2

I received my monitor yesterday, and my PC this morning. I’ve already got it set up and protected with Norton’s, Ad-Aware, Spybot and ZoneAlarm. Plus, my router has a firewall. So I should be ok, at least for a little while. I’ve got Firefox set as my default browser, but…

Rules Men Wish Women Would Follow : July 06, 2004 : Note 5

I received this in an email, and thought I’d pass it along.  It’s quite funny. Finally, RULES MEN WISH WOMAN WOULD FOLLOW… We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note… these are all numbered…
