...the 90's!.

My new derailleur arrived.

The photobucket.com transition went live last night. All the images on the Isabel page are now hosted there, and hot-linked from the main page (which is still served from my little linux server in the washing machine closet). That's cool, but not as cool as the fact that the all the gallery pages are auto-generated. As of last night, there is now 0 ( Read more... )

Babies and porn: They both drive adoption of new technology. And I suppose they're linked on a more fundamental level too...

Anyway: During the most recent redesign of Isabel's web-site, I obtained some insight: Web development is freaky easy. caffeine_girl found CSS code to render something like a tab select control. But a static implementation means you have ( Read more... )

Chamomile!

Sometimes I run across a link that I have to forward. The Top 10 Things I Know About Drugs is one of these. I still have a visceral reaction to prohibition, so every rational voice I hear helps my digestion a bit. Hopefully it will help you just as much!

So, we missed Tiesto in Houston again because he forgot to call us and tell us he was coming. There's no electronica grapevine here. Who did he think was gonna tell us?

Anyway, we went to a house-party instead. And to make up for missing the pope of the church that is DJ, I went a little nuts. Ever hear of a keg stand? Now I are one. 14 seconds of ( Read more... )

For no good reason, I've decided it's time to get serious about this Lisp thing. Last night, I got my first Lisp function working in emacs. So, without any adieu:

(defun doit (x)
(if (< x 0) (- x) x))
What does this function do? Why, it returns the absolute value of a number ( Read more... )
