Mark is looking at distributed authenticated comments with a desire to come up with a solution. I don’t have any ideas but I’m certainly going to be following what he comes up with.

My wife got me a Pasta Pot Pro a couple of weeks ago. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that you see on TV that’s suppose to save you all sorts of time and aggrevation in the kitchen. Actually, the design isn’t a total flop with this thing. It does do a decent job of […]

I was able to get Blosxom 2.0 Beta 1 working without much of a hitch at all. I like the plugin archetecture that Rael has implemented. It seems to work smoothly and has already generated a number of plugins. You can see it in my /betalog directory

The Trackback_Counts plugin is the only one that has […]

I haven’t had much of a chance to do more than install it but I have Blosxom 2.0 Beta 1 throwing my content into the \betalog directory. It does have an RSS 1.0 feed located at http://www.dallasbay.net/betalog/index.rss10. I’ll be playing with some of the plugins as I find time. Time may be short over the […]

A month or so after the terrorist attack on 9-11 and not long after GA aircraft were allowed back into the skies Mark Winton was flying his Beech T34 Mentor when he looked down and noticed that football practice was going on at his son’s school and he knew his son was amongst the players […]

Rael released the first beta code of Blosxom 2.0 yesterday. I downloaded it this morning and will be installing it sometime today to create a test blog for this software. I’ll point to it when I get things working well enough. It will mirror this blog.

The biggest news is that this version of Blosxom supports […]

For years I’ve been seeing studies POP up telling us about one health risk or another associated with coffee intake and then a month or so later reports start popping up contradicting those health risk. It seems like certain factions of the scientific community want to find a reason for me to stop drinking (so […]

Oh, about that trip to Britol, TN I mentioned Tuesday morning, it was very fruitful. I’ve got some work now and I’ll have a little more in Chattanooga next week. I hope I can keep this going.

One thing that I was really impressed by was the amount of monitoring this customer wants to do with […]

Never act in a public place in a manner that you would not like to have videotaped and broadcast on the nigthly news. Never let anyone take pictures of you that you would not care to share with the rest of the world. Never, and I mean never, believe that you can send an e-mail […]

Okay, I’m off to Bristol, Tennessee for a few days on a job. When I get back I need to remind myself to get the archives working in here.

After chasing down leads for the past two months I now have one purchase order in hand and another request for my services. Both of these jobs look like they may very well become ongoing things. Maybe things are about to shake loose.

Sam’s new codebase is online.

I was just playing around with my Blosxom templates and did a rebuild of all my static pages to implement the changes on all the pages. I’m also checking out Syndirella, and liking it pretty well for Beta software, and noticed that there were updates in my list of sites. This site was showing to […]

Deutsche Welle is reporting that NATO has come to an agreement over defending Turkey and will begin planning for Turkey’s defenses in the event of a war with Iraq. AWACS and missle batteries are on their way.

Regardless of what one thinks of a war with Iraq this is a good thing. NATO has to be […]

I’m playing around with the templates this morning, trying to get an index working for this site and also adding a few things that are more or less invisible to you while reading in your average browser. I’m adding a few meta tags and adding some attributes to the various HTML tags in the templates.
