Today was an easy day at the RSA 2008 Conference in San Francisco. The morning was simply registration before the Trusted Computing Base seminar at noon that lasted for five hours. Unfortunately for me I was performing a job interview for a candidate so I found a quite place and did the call […]

I’ll be going to RSA 2008 next week in San Francisco. I attended last February and I met a lot of cool people and I hope to do the same this year.
This year I’m much more prepared, I’ve got my scheduled planned out which should make it go smoother. I was running around […]

As previously reported (and resolved), I had some iPod Touch issues after my purchase. Things have been going really smooth since I performed the reset. The 1.1.3 update probably didn’t hurt either.

I decided to work smarter and not harder on my home page redesign. I have been wanting to change it for months and I’ve been fiddling with my own design on and off. For the sake of expediency I went and downloaded a really nice template that’s entirely CSS driven.
Take a […]

Like an ice weasel, I changed my mind and spent my $20 on the iPod Touch upgrade. What can I say, my initial angst was overruled by my curiosity.
Was it worth it? I think so. The added apps are nice, and it’s convenient to have an IMAP connection to Gmail when I […]

WTF, Steve? So I have to pay an extra $20 to get the iPhone apps on my iPod Touch? What kind of crap is that? Don’t get me wrong, it IS just twenty bucks, but still…it’s 20 bucks. For a micro-mental upgrade.
Sorry, Steve-O. I will keep my twenty. Maybe […]

I treated myself to an iPod Touch for Christmas this year. I’d been holding out for the past several months and I figured what the hell, it’s Christmas! I’d been using my shuffle at the gym but I wanted a bit more flexibility for my tunes.
Things went well for the first few days. […]

I’m here at a local Panera Bread doing some blog work. I write a weekly article at AskDanAndJennifer.com, a widely-lauded love and relationship website. I wrote up this week article and attempted to access WordPress to upload it for editing and review.
Now…it’s not like this is a pr0n site. I don’t know […]

Not me! Okay, so maybe I suck at SOME games. That’s not what this is about. Brian Waggoner has started up a new gamer blog I-SAG (I Suck At Games), which is akin to his old GameCastOnline blog and podcast. Without World Of Warcraft!
It’s witty, it’s uncut and uncensored. Go […]

I have an application at work that generates files and stores them in a particular folder structure. Nested folders. Tens of thousands of them. The upside is that it’s generally efficient in calling these generated files. The downside is that they hog massive amounts of space over time. Even two […]

Worked late. Been here since about 2230 (10:30 PM) CDT. Installed a server, installed a new load balancer, plugged in two new sweet cabinet PDUs into my racks. I’ve got the new load balancer working and it’s jamming away. Now it’s just a matter of getting it’s twin to work.
I have […]

I am an avid reader of RSS feeds, Digg.com in particular. Not because I think anything truly new or revolutionary starts at Digg, but because it’s sort of entertaining to see some of the off-the-wall items that do appear. I have to be upfront; I abhor Digg.com itself. Why? […]

I totally borked the Wordpress 2.3 upgrade. I figured that since it was my fifth time or so that’d I would remember.
Thank goodness I keep backups of the configuration files!
Remember to follow the instructions or in other words RTFM.

For the umpteenth time I’ve decided to pick back up running XAMPP and CakePHP. I’m still somewhat of a PHP newbie but I figured what the hell, Once more into the breach.
I’ve kept a load of XAMPP on my USB stick for just such an occasion. So I fire it up, start Apache […]

For those who may remember I am really into space exploration. I’m all about manned exploration of other planets in our solar system. Earth may be our home and where we were created, but there’s too much space for us to waste out there. I do believe for that humanity to survive […]

Several months ago, I ran across WikiPad while investigating Wiki-type applications for work. I didn’t spend much time looking at it; my focus was on an enterprise Wiki solution and not a personal wiki application. My need at the time was for inter-department collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
Over the weekend I picked up Ready For […]

Travis and I were talking about online backup solutions for cheap. We both realized, for our own personal use, that file versioning, SSL data transfers, automated backups and email notifications were a must. I has looked at Omnidrive.com and ElephantDrive.com as possible solutions. Today, Travis pointed me at IDrive.
The IDrive application, once […]

I ran across Wintabber today while surfing the Internets! Wintabber lives up to it’s name. You can tab any program into Wintabber to declutter your task bar.
Not only can you easily add an application to Wintabber, you can easily remove them. If you’re in a hurry just close Wintabber and it will […]

Saturday night I got to bed around 1230 or so. I w
as tossing and turning, unable to sleep for some reason. I fired up the TV to the Discovery Channel and “Super Comet: After The Impact” was on.
First, let me say that I’m a big fan of astronomy and, oddly enough, the end […]
