Jason and I headed in to downtown early this afternoon so I could finish up the project that was started yesterday. I couldn’t send out the documents that I had with pages missing, and I didn’t discover that they were missing until noon, when I got the project in the first place. I [...]
I said last month that I would rather be a part of the solution then part of the problem when it came to BlogShares. When I saw that the nominations were open for the BSEC, I submitted my name. Now is your chance to select the first BSEC for June 2003. So [...]
It was supposed to be a good day at work today. As a matter of fact, the morning was pretty good - until 11:45 or so, when I suddenly had a ton of work dumped on me out of nowhere. Normally, not a problem - except I was already working (at a nice [...]
Have you looked through the List of Bests? Wow! It’s fun to check out what all you have read, seen or heard. I’m nowhere near done, but you can check out my Consumed Media list now. Be careful though - you can get sucked in to this site for a long [...]
Matt wrote yesterday about phone numbers in movies and songs and said he never called the Tommy Tutone number, 867-5309. He figured it would be fake and wouldn’t work.
Funny thing is, if I remember correctly, in the Chicago area, WLS got the number and you could call it. They either set it up [...]
Tonight is the first leg of The Amazing Race 4! Whoo hoo! Following is my random commentary on the show - I’ll post the opening comments so they are visible to everyone, and the rest I’ll “hide” in the extended entry portion to prevent any spoilers. Consider this your warning - there [...]
As I mentioned earlier this week, WordPress is now available - have you checked out this features list? Many, many cool things built in - including the ability to manage your blogroll within the software and still have it display the recently updated blogs.
Has anyone downloaded it and tested it yet? [...]
Get the latest release! MovableType has released version 2.64, with many good things:
This is a maintenance release, fixing various CSS, XML-RPC, UI, and Creative Commons errors. This release also plugs a number of cross-site-scripting (script injection) holes for search queries, comments, TrackBacks, and notifications, and is recommended for anyone using any of these features. [...]
Hmmm… something is going down here in downtown Houston - there are at least six news helicopters hovering overhead. Unfortunately, there isn’t any information on the Houston Chronicle or KHOU or KPRC sites yet to clue me in.
It’s a bit unsettling to see all of these helicopters just sitting there. What do I [...]
I was talking with Mike on the phone last night, and he told me all about this cool animated desktop background that he found which displays streaming letters - just like when they are watching the Matrix in the movie. I thought it sounded really cool and I wanted to check it out, so…
Me: [...]
On a side note, if your site has to be down, at least go down with the best, right? InstaPundit (hosted with Hosting Matters) was offline too, and according to Kathy K, he was posting on his backup Blogspot site. Solonor (hosted with Bloggerzone) was kind enough to share visual evidence of [...]
From about 9:30am this morning until an hour or so ago, Blogomania, a lot of the Blogomania client sites (five out of seven servers), and all of my personal sites were offline. No e-mail, no blogs, nothing. At first I thought it was my wonky connection through my ISP, but it wasn’t. [...]
Ok, more like an old kid with a new name and a new look - for the PHP lovers out there, WordPress, the new official branch of b2, is now available for download.
Kudos to Matt for a job well done. I can’t wait to test the latest version, and I’m proud of my very [...]
How on earth did I end up with so much stuff? When I moved in to my current apartment back in 2000, I didn’t have time to go through everything I wanted to toss out before I moved. Unfortunately, most of it was packed up in boxes then and moved along with me, [...]
It seems that Starbucks has an issue with people taking photographs in their stores. I wonder what they would say if they knew I renamed my site last summer based on their Big Pink Cookies? How about the fact that I have a small collection of Big Pink Cookie photos? I [...]
I have been using the web browser on my phone again lately, and I am reminded again how important it is to present your main content first.
My default design for my blog is now all CSS - table free. I can leave the content where it is, but with a simple change of a [...]
Moving and grooving, lots to do today - Response to Interrogatories, Response to Request for Production, sending two boxes worth of case documents to Austin, preparing other documents for production, looking for people who used to be in the Texas Senate but don’t know. Busy, busy, busy.
Arriving just in time for all of [...]
It is an absolutely gorgeous day outside - probably one of the last “cool” days we’ll have before summer hits in full force. Cool is a relative term around here - it’s probably in the mid-80’s, but we’ve already seen temps as high as 94 and it’s still May. I’m learning to not [...]
Time has been my enemy lately. I constantly feel like I just have no time, and it’s really getting to me. I have so much I want to write about, so much I want to say. There are several partial posts out there, just waiting for me to take the time to [...]
If you’re playing over at BlogShares, you might want to snatch up some shares in MovableType while they’re hot! There are lots to buy, but they are going fast!
