Cornered
On Monday, Kim and I found out that we’re being forced to move. Fortunately, it’s only a minor move that only entails us changing our physical address. Since we moved into our new home in June, we’ve lived under the assumption that we lived on Niagra Falls – the street the front of our house…

Looking Back
I first started using this site as a blog in 2001. It wasn’t anything special. I did everything by hand. There was no RSS feed. At one point I developed a ColdFusion-based application that let me post “news articles” to the site, but never really did anything with it. Before 2001, the site served as…

Registration
I have had registration turned off for quite some time, partly because I had a spammer register as a Subscriber back when I first started using WordPress… After reconsidering it, I’ve decided to turn this feature back on. I know several folks like to comment here fairly often and here’s your chance to become a…

Server Issues
I’ve been having some odd server issues since yesterday. MySQL has stopped responding a couple of times. So if my site goes offline for some reason, or you see a database error when visiting the site, this is likely the cause of it. Hopefully I can get the issue diagnosed and resolved over the weekend,…

Back to Work
Tomorrow I go back to work after ten straight days of being off. I haven’t had a “vacation” quite like this in some time. It was much needed though. I think I need to try and make it a point to schedule more time off throughout the year instead of waiting until the very end.

December Stats
I’ve had a MeasureMap for nearly as long as they’ve been in beta. It’s a great statistical tool that’s not received a lot of attention, short of when it was first launched and when Google subsequently bought them. My site doesn’t get a lot of traffic, but December 2006 was the best month I have…

Goodbye, 2006.
Where have you gone? It seems like only yesterday I was making resolutions. Now, you’re drawing to a close, and I can’t imagine what happened to the time…Happy New Year, everyone. Well, Happy New Year’s Eve anyway. Before I start the obligatory list o’ resolutions for 2007, it would probably be a good idea to…

Five things you (probably) don’t know about me
Another day, another meme. Thanks for the tag, Ben. I was born on November 30, and share a birthday with notables such as Mark Twain, Vincent “Bo” Edward Jackson, and *gag* Clay Aiken. I failed out of college in 1997. It’s not something I’m proud of. After a return in 2000-2001, I’m a sophomore. But…

I love Apple
Is it any wonder people have such a deep sense of loyalty to this brand? They just gave me the second half of Season 10 of South Park, because I had bought the first half. I know a lot of people were originally ticked at the decision to split the 10th Season… but Apple made…

Pick Any Two
We used to have a sign up in our offices at PowerServe that read: For service that meets your needs, choose two of the following: Quality Speed Price Let’s face it, we’re a culture that expects all three. We want convenience, high quality, and extra low prices. That’s why Wal-Mart is so popular – because for most people Wal-Mart…
