Time to ski…

I drove up to Tahoe the other night to hang out with Christopher. Last night was spent drinking beer and hacking on a side project we have been working on together. More about that in later posts…
But right now, we are headed out to spend some time on the slopes. Snow has […]

When traveling…

…try to book flights through Pittsburgh (PIT)!
For some reason FREE wifi always puts a smile on my face, or maybe it’s due the fact that I’ve only had 2 or 3 hours of rest. Either way this should make the 2:30 hour layover fly by…
[of course the pun is intended, it […]

God was a hacker?!

Holy Crap! I didn’t realize God was a coder. According to this song he preferred lisp of all things. I have to say the composition is just wonderful, about as good as most Christian music!

YANLAF - Site Update

Yes that’s right, once again I have updated the look and feel to my blog. The old style was the Kurbrik design which I felt was rather nice. Well now it’s the default style in the 1.5 release of WordPress, and it seems that everyone and their mother is using it. Thus, […]

No modem necessary!

About 15 minutes ago everyone started pulling their instruments out to begin a long night of bluegrass. This was my sign to pull out my laptop and get ready to step back in time, blow the dust out of that built in modem and try to stomach dialup.
Well I was pleasantly surprised to find […]

The value of a good todo list…

I was talking with Christopher this past weekend about how he tries to get one task done each day. He claims this makes him more productive than most people on average. After this week at work I am starting to agree with him, and beginning to think this may be a good practice.
Now […]

It pleases me to see how quickly the blogging community/industry has come up with a proposed solution to the huge problem of comment spam. Unfortunately, ref=”nofollow” will be just as effective of a deterrent to comment spammers as the death penalty is to the common murderer.
This proposal doesn’t stop spammers from cluttering your comment […]

Site Update - New Look and Feel

I recently updated to MoveableType 3.14. As before the template styles are pretty boring. After doing a little surfing around, I ran into this Krubrik template set.
I have done a few modifications to get the layout to look a bit better in the Archive views, but still plan on doing more […]

Open wireless network…

Well it looks as if one of my Mom’s neighbors has a wireless access point hooked up to either DSL or Cable. The throughput isn’t great, but at least I am able to check email with out having to use dialup. Pretty sweet if you ask me…
I’ll post a bit about my weekend […]

Comment spam be gone…

I know it’s been quite sometime since I’ve posted an entry. Anyway, I’m currently looking into new software which I can fight comment spam a little better. Until then I’m closing comments on all my old posts…
