Well, I’m a “hacker” in the loosest terms, as I will do what it will take to get stuff to work, if it promises to be worthwhile. Wether this be spending untold hours at a command line trying to get crap to compile or writing some creative code to get around an issue that should [...]
BTW- for those who give a damn about the bike… this was a photo a co-worker took at lunch last week…
Well, to take Dan Akroyd’s line from his comment Jane Curtin on SNL in the 70’s… Bill O’Reilly’s got it wrong, so, so miserably wrong. While this was highlighted (see below) by Boing Boing, I still can’t believe, and listen closely, that he’s so damned ignorant. Not only does he not understand technology, his grasp [...]
Okay, so I shamefully paraphrased BTTF… but today seemed as good as any to use it.
SO… let’s set the scene, shall we.
I get home early, namely since I had to run some errands, and work was kind of dry today (both work, willingness to do so, and lack thereof the previous two). After unloading the [...]

So, Bruce Schneier, coiner of that term, and publicity whore at times (ask me about my experience at a Gartner event he speaking at), has caught fire among the vernacular of travelers who are now subjected to the absolute goofiness of the TSA and other security procedures supposedly put into place after 9/11.
I’ve always been a believer [...]
Well, it’s been a relatively busy week, both at work and just stuff in general. Gaby and I did chat and we’re in agreement with the car being sold. I need to clean it and list it.
I’ve also taken some test rides of the replacement vehicle, a enduro-type motorcycle. I’ve tried the BMW R1200 GS, R1200GS Adventure, [...]
Well, I stole this line from Don Crowdis… but, I’ve been embroiled in a 3.5 week Odyssey at work… hopefully it’ll wind down. During that time I’ve managed to neglect some things (no, not personal hygiene), but hopefully I can get some of them back on track. I did fix a database issue with SoundtrackNet [...]
While I wrote a MetBlog post this morning detailing a noise ordinance being passed to limit protests in D.C., I see this from one of of the organizations I support, the EFF, noting Archive.org’s run in with the U.S. Government over National Security Letters (NSL). I find this a little scary, and close to home [...]
So… as you know, besides the day job, and doing SoundtrackNet stuff (yes, I have a queue of things I’m going to be trudging through for the rest of the night now)… I’m also doing some website hosting under the guise of SoundtrackNet. One of them happens to be Ryan Keaveney’s “Music for a Darkened [...]
…when your skillz may be more l33t than theirs?!
I scored probably the easiest $200 I made in my life… even easier than the $20 bet with Shawn over the ALCS in 2004…
Simple task… set up an AD controller from scratch… 2 hours later, tested… it worked…
Probably would have been quicker if I hadn’t screwed up [...]
