Gregg has had enough with the desktop search already. Users have enough problems with computers as it is. I think it’s an interesting idea, but is it really needed? So much of what we do these days have moved online, and many apps that are in common use already have ways of managing and finding […]

One of the blogs I host, Dana’s Security Blog, is very very popular with the comment spammers tonight. Alone his blog got 6004 attempts to post blog comment spam, a big problem for folks using many of the blogging tools out there that allow people to comment such as MovableType.

Oh, almost forgot. Finally got my new case and power supply for this server last Thursday. I got an Antec P160 (google search) and an Antec Truepower 550.

Today was a horrendously unproductive day. I spent pretty much the entire day fighting to get IIS to work as a frontend for Tomcat for work. We basically got a hot potato and were told we had to get this working now (this being getting SSL working on our webapp server for one of our

Anyone tried out autostitch for panoramas? I initially almost closed the window upon seeing the… shall we say…. less than current website icons and style, but scrolled down and the results are imnpressive, a 57 image panorama, very nicely stitched together.

Know those dreams where you wake up and get ready to go to work, then wake up to find that you have to go through the whole thing again? I had one of those, except that I got to work and started answering the phone and making calls out before I realized that no, I

Yea, I’m messing with the newest MT because I wanted a change, better ways to kill off comment spammers, etc etc. Hopefully all links will stay the same and things will work properly. If the RSS feeds are messed up I’ll fix ’em up in the next bit, along with everything else that I broke.

Well, today, after reading it for probably the last 15 years, I finished the last chapter in Stephen King‘s Dark Tower series, which was started in 1970 and ended in april of this year. No spoilers here, but I thought it was great. Not only was it (finally) an end to the story of Roland’s
