Why Voting Doesn’t Work

Saturday, October 23rd, 2004

A few thoughts while I am on the road (read – fudging with timestamps so that I make my daily post commitment). With all of the problems reported with voting – like this one, I am really worried about this upcoming election. I have already ranted about not liking the options, but what happens if [...]

Under the wire

Friday, October 22nd, 2004

Been running around with G after I got out of work, almost forgot to post for the day! We’re heading to eastern PA for his nephew’s birthday. He’s going so he can be the crazy uncle, I’m going for the road trip I may moblog some stuff while I’m there, check back if you’d like.

Sleep walking

Thursday, October 21st, 2004

For some reason it feels like I have slept through the day. I don’t think my mind ever fully woke up.

Left or Right?

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

A year ago, I couldn’t tell you the differences between democrats and republicans, conservatives and liberals, left and right. I have always thought that it was silly that there are such distinctions between these two groups, acting like it was the only option. At that point, I couldn’t tell you where I fell. I had [...]

Get your name in the New York Times!

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

That’s right, have your full name printed in a full page ad on the New York Times. Mozilla Firefox is collecting donations to purchase a full page ad to advertise the launch of Firefox 1.0.

Love the thought

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

Have you ever fallen in love with a thought of a person? Your own picturesque, perfect image of someone? No, nevermind – not perfect – i don’t believe I could ever love perfection… But perhaps a memory from your past and a thought that that person would always be who you remembered them as; or [...]

Once a day

Monday, October 18th, 2004

Since I have switched my blog over to push the articles off the front page by age (7 days), I think I need to do something to keep content up. I have decided to follow Weez’s idea and make the comitment to post at least once a day. It may not always be much, but [...]

Erie Linux Users Group

Wednesday, October 13th, 2004

I do all this work on another site, and then I forget to cross link it back here so that people actually know about it As some of you may have heard, I have taken the lead of the Erie Linux Users Group (ErieLUG). It was created some time ago, but participation has fallen back [...]

SprintPhoto v0.2.1

Monday, October 11th, 2004

Minor bugfix for my SprintPhoto Plugin. I found out that when I used certain special characters (such as ampersand or apostrophe) that the script would die in a most beautiful fashion and, as G put it, “Shit all over your page”. You can view the new code here or download it here. This still uses [...]
