A couple of weekend wrap ups in one. Last Weekend Last weekend headed down to Seattle to visit with Jim and Kaari, and to retrieve a Cthulhu monitor toy. We headed out around 9am and after the standard interrogation at the boarder (the war hadn’t started yet at that point), had an uneventful drive down, […]
Been too long with this slightly-hacked-but-really-the-same-as-the-default look. Found a nice CSS of Three Columns – Flanking Menus over at bluerobot.com.
Finally got around to doing what I promised ages ago. It was simple, just copy the .pl plugin that Unix-Gal suggested, change the MTEntryExcerpt to MTEntryBodyMore, add a resolve_urls=”1″ tag, rebuild, and voila! My RSS feeds, for the aggregators out there, now contain full entries. Now, I can get pretty verbose sometimes, so I hope
I wrote the following up in response to my buddy foz‘s questions about the opinions around the world about the war. I posted it as a comment to his BLOG but felt it was a decent bit of writing about how I feel about it so I thought I’d include it below. It basically boils

Cool, scott, of feedster fame (the new RSS/Blog search engine) mentioned my rant on VB and it’s suckage. He’s up to some neat stuff, search RSS feeds (which I still need todo). I also discovered “Surf*Mind*Musings – Bits and bytes from Andyed which is a blog with some nifty thoughts and links.
I just spent the last couple of hours searching freshmeat and sourceforge for php-based online calendar systems. Gah, I’m tired of them I tell you! One of my clients has a client that wants (basically) what Lotus Notes does but without having to buy Lotus Notes. They want to share calendar events with specific people,
Well, last night after work I finally got to go play some squash with SilverStr. Jimtheonefromwork came along as well. Had a great few games that no doubt will leave me with “squash butt” and sore legs in the next day or so. At one point we were playing three people in the court andbecause

Through some random surfing I found the site called A Whole Lotta Nothing which has a neat article on Yosemite which contained a note about light, and a pointer to a page on light in photography which contained a picture of Vera Falls. This picture looked oddly familiar. It turns out that I took a
