Power of the weblogging community

Ahh Dave left me some useful information in the comments to the last post. Radio doesn’t come out of the box with a comments system, that probably explains why no one has one yet. And he pointed me to a possible solution to my page loading speed issue. It seems that Shelley, of BurningBird fame, had the same problem, but Phil turned around and explained to her in her comments that if she used server paths to access the database instead of http relative paths, it would speed things up. I’ll have to play with that at home tonight. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the power of the weblogging community! Thanks Dave, Shelley and Phil!

This is why I need commenting features. I’d hate to have to figure everything out myself!

This story explains how using a simple Javascript, a website can use your WMP unique identifier to track you around the web without having to worry about how you handle cookies. You might want to make sure you have that “feature” on Media Player disabled.

Andrea shows off one of my personal favorite things about the web. Seeing pictures of places you’ve never been and marveling at them! Nice pics, Andrea!

I have, in fact managed to make it past 10AM without anyone ruining my day. That’s not to say other people at work aren’t completely pissed off at one another, but it’s apparently not my turn today. Or at least this morning, there’s still an afternoon to go. 🙂

    Shannon chided me the other day in my own comments when I talked about the tech toys I brought on vacation, suggesting that I was missing the point of a vacation! Not at all Shannon. One, as you can tell, I’m not feeling the need to reply in a timely manner at all. 🙂 Two,…

    Earlier this month, this blogged passed it’s 7th year of existence. The oldest entry on the site is from Oct. 8, 2001. I’ve never been one to keep track of the date and consider it impressive how long I’ve been doing this, so I actually missed it. I also almost missed that yesterday’s entry was…

  • Every Day Annoyances

    Here’s a couple of online annoyances: First, I forgot to grab the classified section from Sunday’s Columbus Dispatch on the way to work yesterday. So I wander over to their website, go through the classifieds section, get to the employment section and tell it to show me all the Computer-type jobs from Sunday’s paper. Of…

  • Scheduled Posting

    This is a test of Blogger’s new future date posting. If all goes well, this will get published to the site at the specified time, and I’ll be sure to write up some things I’ve been meaning to post before we leave, that’ll publish throughout the next few days. That’d be a great feature, if…

    That is the upgrade to Movable Type 3.3 over at my Child Abuse blog. I just extracted the downloaded zip file and uploaded the files to the site, pointed my browser to the usual login page and it prompted me to run an upgrade script and away I was. I’m looking forward to seeing more…
