This past week, we were all sick, and I was able to do very little in the way of work.  The kid was rather well off, or so I thought, because he wasn’t sick sick, just came down with a bit of a cough.  Well, now, he’s rather sick.  He is complaining that his ear is hurting, [...]

AllTray is a rather small project—for the moment, there is a single developer working on it (myself), and there aren’t a terribly great number of users, though the users that it does have are most excellent.  For a long time, the users didn’t have the ability to observe the development processes for AllTray, nor did [...]

If you can’t see the flash, then head to YouTube to watch it. Reminds me why I missing watching the Simpsons on a regular basis. On a serious note: When you cast your vote on Election Day, make damn sure the machine is working right and calibrated, if you’re voting on a machine. Make sure [...]

Wonder why I hate airports? It’s because they’re full of total, utter shit. Airports are some of the most stupid and ignorant places a person can go. Very new technology? Not permitted, because it’s not understood. Why, even when it is, if the TSA breaks it, they can threaten to arrest you when you get [...]

It seems that Nelson over at the OSI’s Web site is confused about how “fundamentalist” can be applied to an Open Source advocate. It can be done; one just has to remember that a “fundie” (the variant of the word which makes the malicious connotation clear) is someone that exists at a special place called [...]

I have the cold. This is really interfering with my plans of getting things done… I can’t focus.

Wow, am I behind on my reader. Approximately 2,000 articles worth. Whoops. However, I got a lot done in Toledo. Went to two birthday parties, ate at a couple of new restaurants, and worked on a house up there that is an investment of ours and a friend’s. However, I got a little behind in [...]

I was just listening to some music on my playlist while I was working on some software, and Jordin Sparks’ No Air came on. I really like the song, and there are a few other Idol finalists and winners that have spots on my playlist, and others that haven’t made it there yet, but I’d [...]

So, this week was not fun. It was a struggle to try to get homework done and keep up with things like watching Ben, because The Plague™ hit us all pretty hard this week. Erica is still sick, and I am still getting over it myself, so I do not feel quite normal just yet. [...]

I am not entirely sure that I like this era of social networking sites where the goal is to try to make it easy to find other people. It lends itself towards issues of awkwardness in many situations. The Internet’s got all these nice, wonderful, distributed servers and features and yet these centralized “social networking” [...]
