So much to write about…

So here I have been in London for five days and I haven’t even written a decent blog post about it yet.  There’s just so much to talk about!  Julie and I are having a fantastic time.  The folks at MOO are just as cool as you’d think.  Today, they let us take part in [...]

Finally here!

After traveling for what seemed like several days, we finally made it to London! We’re staying in a flat in the Notting Hill area and are preparing to venture out for the first time.  First thought… jet lag sucks.  So did the angry rude British woman who sat across the row at me who kept [...]

New (kinda) mini posts

I’ve been drooling over the functionality provided by tumblelogs.  The idea of posting short little blurbs, quick videos, images, quotes… it’s like Twitter for people with slightly longer attention spans.  I thought about setting one up as several geeks of some standing in the web industry have done.  Then I realized, I already have a [...]

Cleveland, OH

As you probably know by now, Julie and I are up in Cleveland this weekend.  We’re having lots of fun.  Fun fact: the Cuyahoga River burns 365 days a year.  On a clear day, you can see the smoke plumes from Columbus.
Last night, we visited with Len and Nora and their relentlessly enthusiastic children.  I [...]

Internet Celebrities

Tomorrow, Julie and I will, in all likelihood, be appearing on Len’s podcast, Jawbone Radio. Around 9PM EDT, you should be able to watch the show being taped at Len’s Ustream page.
We’ll be in Cleveland, OH for the rest of the week and will post plenty of pictures of the world’s largest rubber stamp [...]

Upgraded

Yesterday, I upgraded my blog to the new version of WordPress, 2.3. Despite my concerns about the major database changes, the upgrade was pulled off flawlessly. Users upgrading should be aware that your blog will look messed up until you run the database upgrade script by logging in to their administration section.

Updating WordPress with Subversion

For various reasons, I’ve decided to start updating my WordPress install with Subversion. The process is very simple and safe, if you follow some simple steps from your SSH or Telnet session. Note: you have to have Subversion installed on the server you’re trying to do this on. Try doing the [...]

I guess they really do love him in France

The votes are in… Scooch sucks!

The people of Europe have scored the entries, and Scooch (of the UK) tied for second… second to last place.  They were only scored higher than Ireland who got a total of 5 out of 492 possible points.
The winner was Serbia.  I couldn’t understand what the song was about as it wasn’t in English.  The [...]

Kilgore Trout will greet him in heaven

The New York Times is reporting that Kurt Vonnegut Jr. has died (so it goes) tonight (Wednesday) from brain injuries he suffered from a fall several weeks ago.
I can’t believe that one of the funniest and most creative literary minds since Mark Twain is gone. Even though his books often dealt with the concept [...]
