History in Flames

Jeremy talks about the burning of Iraqi libraries and museums, some of which house items thousands of years old: As I say, I'm having a hard time with this so don't expect rational arguments from me. I guess Bush and company can be happy that their war finally achieved something that will keep it in […]

Feeling Ugly

Need to feel better about yourself? Put yourself in this "poor" woman's shoes: I have met a twenty-six-year-old male who has many things going for him: absolutely amazing in bed (quite cunnilingually gifted!), intelligent, and possessed of a razor-sharp wit. Of course, the reason I'm writing to you is because he is, to put it […]

QotD: Spousal Surprise

Question: If you could arrange for one thing to happen to your spouse (or boyfriend/girlfriend) without them knowing you arranged it, what would you plan? My Answer: I would plan a surprise cruise, partly because I've always wanted to go on one (free food 24/7!) and partly because it's a romantic way to spend a […]

QotD: Sexual Harassment

Question: If you had to choose the most extreme example of sexual harassment, what would it be? My Answer: One of my college professors made very little effort to conceal the fact that she wanted me. I managed to milk a few easy 'A's out of her, though, so I don't really care. I guess […]

Off They Go: Taxes 2002

Today I took my prepared tax return to the post office and deposited the bastard in the mail. The envelope looked like this: It had about ten sheets of paper in there, so I stuck on four $0.34 stamps and two $0.37 stamps. That should do it. The amount of the check inside was considerably […]

This Explains It

I've been noticing a lot of people signing up for the FSS Mailing List today. Now I know why. On Friday's Call For Help, the show Chris Pirillo used to run, Leo Laporte mentioned that he may show how to run a screen effect as a background this week. Brad, author of BackLight, which does […]

Gender and Technology

Jamie would like some help: …help me generate a thesis for a term paper in Gender & Technology. I plan on suggesting new educational and occupational (company policy) practices that would help to further close the gender gap in the Digital Divide. Y'all are smart, so hop over to Tits and Wits .com and leave […]

Safari 1.0 Beta 2

I'm off to run some errands for a few hours, but I wanted to point out that Safari 1.0 Beta 2 is available here or via Software Update. Will write more later. I've been using later versions for awhile now and I'm curious if some crashes, etc. that I've continued to have (antipixel.com crashes Safari […]

XHTML 1.1

This site now validates as XHTML 1.1. I spent a few hours working on this - had to change the nesting of some things, had to hack at my stylesheet a little (hspace, vspace, border aren't XHTML 1.1). Only one problem remains: MovableType puts target="_blank" in when someone gives a URL with their comment. This […]

Lisa to Mac OS X

Have a look at this: Where'd that come from? Early sketches of Mac OS X? NeXT? Try the Lisa. There's more Lisa information here.

iTunes Remote via SSH

I'm about to go into my living room to read a book (see previous post), but I wanted to continue to play my iTunes songs and control them. Then it dawned on me: I've got a lot of shell scripts to do this for me! Tucked away in ~/Documents/Stuff/MiscShellScripts (which I've added to my path) […]

Book Trade

Jamie and I went to Barnes & Noble last night to burn off some energy. She grabbed some sort of coffee, and I had an absolutely wonderful drink from Jones Soda called Bada Bing: black cherry and logbanberry. Where can I buy this stuff (locally, so as not to pay $9 S&H)? At any rate, […]

Ed Chooses Frankie

In an article I titled Ed Chooses Carol, the title of which gives away the Ed season finale, Alexei took objection to my practice:

More is Better

I agree with Sven-S. Porst in his rebuttal of Dave Weinberger (who thought his 2.1 megapixel images were 830MB) on the issue of whether to capture larger images or smaller images from a digital camera. I've always taken my images on the highest quality setting available. I think of it as insurance. CD-Rs are cheap […]

Hackers are After Me

Not really, but this is interesting: 2003.04.12 16:55:28 218.222.150.178 Search: query for 'darko' 2003.04.12 16:56:25 218.222.150.178 Invalid login attempt from user 'darko' 2003.04.12 16:56:33 218.222.150.178 Invalid login attempt from user 'darko'
