Sysloggin' one day at a time.
From the monthly archives:
“Make no mistake. These aren’t just a few errant, later-regretted remarks, the kind that people tend to blurt out in the heat of campaigns. As this article shows (free reg req), it’s a calculated and scurrilous effort to suggest that anyone who questions the Iraq debacle is unpatriotic.”

If you haven’t heard, Red Hat’s Michael Tiemann has responded to Sun exec Jonathan Schwartz’s blog entries that more or less talk trash toward Red Hat in a big way.

Without getting into what exactly an i-node is, suffice to say, simply, I chose it as the site’s name for its geek appeal.
“Okay, so what about the snow leopard (panthera uncia)? What the heck does an i-node have to do with a small, endangered Asian cat?” you say. Or, more likely, you [...]

I should’ve expected as much, really. Post a blog entry in the old blog-place saying I’ve migrated to other software and, the next day, the only other person who uses the site can’t login any more. What’s more, none — and I do mean none — of the password reset techniques works. [...]

Apparently I got the “it’s not pretty or fast enough” itch this weekend with respect to TikiWiki, in particular the blog section. Don’t get me wrong; I still love the Wiki part of it. It’s just that it was a bit of overkill for weblogging and it kinda got in the way of [...]

Made my first contribution to the Wikipedia last night/today by correcting, enhancing and adding to a couple of the pages: one about Yosemite, the other about National Parks which references Yosemite.

Lots of stuff going around the blogosphere lately about the Wikipedia and how reliable it is (or isn’t, depending on your viewpoint). [...]

Perfect for the geeks in the audience but likely applicable to anyone with a fondness for procrastination.
Excerpt:
The Problem with “stuffâ€
Getting Things Done succeeds because it first addresses a critical barrier to completing the atomic tasks that we want to accomplish in a given day. That’s “stuff.†Amorphous, unactionable, flop-sweat-inducing stuff. David says:
Here’s how I [...]

This is basically correct, although I’d argue (as those who know me would expect) that a geek is “a nerd with social skills”; what’s described in this article is essentially your average nerd, or something in-between. Nonetheless, the more insight women — that is, potential mates — have about the Geek Species, the better.

$200 Bush Funny-money
No, really. A store clerk in Pennsylvania took a $200 “George W. Bush” bill, despite almost nothing about it appearing genuine.

Since I just spent 45 minutes debugging the firewall, smtp server, and dns server on the machine hosting this site I don’t have time to write much about any of these sites. Nonetheless, I’ve read some or all of them and the info looks useful so I’m putting it here to remind myself to go [...]
