Admin Note: Shittiest Web Host Ever
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
So apparently this blog was down for the better part of 24 hours; that doesn’t come as a huge surprise, since the shittiest web host ever has been especially and outstandingly craptacular of late, but it was finally enough to get me off my ass.
I’ve moved seamonkeyrodeo to my MediaTemple hosting account (which is a [...]
On Corporate Ethics: Creeps and Jerks
Thursday, December 6th, 2007
Since every even vaguely tech-oriented blog on the face of the earth has already pointed to Mark Zuckerberg’s blog post on Beacon, I won’t bother to suggest that you go read it, but take a look at what Lauren Weinstein has to say on Google, Facebook, users, and corporate ethics.
As I was reading the items [...]

Update: Turns out that it was my ISP having mail issues, not anything I’d done. Go, me. You may go about your business.
Just popped open the personal email client and found that there’s suspiciously little (like, nothing) there since…um, the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving…somewhere after “hey, they were right, you can get [...]

This business model is probably patented, anyway: Peter Zura proves himself a Renaissance man (patent and copyright) with the post Patent Troll, Meet Sample Troll.
It’s a small world, after all: the Online Press Gazette’s list of the “new establishment” of online journalism in Britain. Interesting read: note that the top ten can [...]

Steve Yegge on Good Agile, Bad Agile.
(With a specific emphasis on Google.) Weighs in at 6,000+ words, but enjoyable reading for the most part. In any case, I have to support anyone who writes that “anything that calls itself a “Methodology” is stupid, on general principle.”

Blogfodder: Sick, Work, Vacation
Thursday, August 11th, 2005
I dropped off the face of the earth for about four days due to a 101 degree fever that I then thoughtfully passed along to my seven month old daughter; both of us doing rather better now.
The past two days I’ve been trying to catch up on work and possibly even get ahead a little…which [...]

Cleaning out the blogfodder folder. I really, truly wanted to put together more significant posts about many of these items, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day…
