New look and feel

So, a new look has been sprung upon us. Or upon you, rather. I knew about it beforehand. If you think it looks vaguely like kottke.org, well, you’re right. I happen to like his particular brand of sparseness. But the CSS code is all mine. And I used a different color for the top, see? […]

Invasion of Privacy II: Hacker's Revenge

You might have noticed some on-and-off downtime over the past two weeks. Actually, you more likely noticed the new look-and-feel, to which I switched because of the following extenuating circumstances. It turns out that someone was able to upload some IRC bots and other hacking software to my MovableType archives directory, via old, unclosed comments. […]

I succumb to the Page 23 meme.

Photoblog

I went and bought the Ericsson T616 wireless phone last week, largely for the purpose of having a) polyphonic ringtones (like this) and b) a camera, albeit a low-res one. So I now have a photoblog on the right side, which you’ve probably already noticed. It may look slightly out of place here, but it […]

LinkFest 7-8-03

In an mpt-like fashion, I’ve resorted to posting a list of interesting links, rather than an exposition on a single item, or a boring paragraph about my day: This is the kind of science I like: Among other critters, 100 gross new species discovered. WIth pictures, and more pictures. Highly addictive game: Udder Insanity. I […]

National Do-Not-Call List

A few people have found my do-not-call list post from six months ago and asked me to post the url of the current site. I guess they found the page with Google or something. Anyway, the do-not-call list is at http://www.donotcall.gov/. Go sign up.

My First Baltimore Bloggers Lunch

Had a good lunch with the Baltimore Bloggers at Harborplace. Dean & Amy, Valerie, Michelle, Geren and I showed up, plus Paulo and his non-blogging friend Amy. I was surprised; in a new group of people, I’m usually more uptight than I turned out to be. Maybe it had something to do with knowing I […]

Weeeee're BACK!

What a long hiatus. It feels good to be back, though. Part of my posting laggardness stems from my current depression and subsequent hesitancy to share my personal thoughts and feelings with — not the semi-complete strangers that populate the web — but those friends I’ve pressured into reading and responding to my blog. Part […]

New Blog Engine

Okay, folks. Movable Type is now ready and working. Unfortunately I’m using SQL_Lite instead of MySQL, because I didn’t feel like creating a database and all. Maybe I’ll change it later, maybe I’ll decide it’s too much trouble. If someone could convince me of the need, I might feel more motivated. The old site look […]
