In other blogs…

I haven’t had a lot of spare time to check out other blogs, until today that is. Here’s what I’ve been missing:

Paul Boutin on Flashtrack, some sort of popup ad spyware. What sort of idiots think this is a good way to get their message out? Piss off all of your potential customers, that’ll be good for business! Grr.

Robyn seems a little angry with Wil Wheaton. Can’t say that I don’t agree with her. It was a little stupid of Wil to ask for donations to take his wife out for Valentine’s, I didn’t ask for donations, but then again my wife’s birthday is in a few weeks…hmm. (j/k)

One of America’s best and brightest (sarcasm intended) accuses Chris Pirillo of being a terrorist.

Speaking of Gnomedex, they have announced the dates for this year, Aug 23-24. I’m hoping to be there again. I’m even thinking of driving this year and making a long vacation out of it. Let’s see, drive to Des Moines, go to Gnomedex, drive on to Colorado and see Steve and Emily and their new baby, detour up to Moorhead, MN to see Jen and Nathan and their new baby, come home. OK, it’s a bit of driving, but it’d be very cool to be able to pull all of that off, and blog the whole thing, complete with photos! Keep your fingers crossed!

Caterina discusses an article about self-esteem that would seem to disagree with popular theory. I like Caterina’s blog, it’s well-written, and it’s a nice change from the tech blogs I’m usually reading, but she needs permalinks! I can’t link to the post I’m talking about, but as of right this very second it’s the latest post.

    Last night I found some time to download and install that JetAudio that we were talking about the other day. After some messing around with the file association settings I did get it to work on RealAudio and RealVideo streams on the web. Excellent! Andy as to your trouble with making it the default player…

  • Is it really Friday when you have to work Saturday?

    Yeah it’s true, I do have to come in and run some more database stuff this weekend. Seems that Ohio redrew it’s legisative districts, and with an election coming up in November, those political people upstairs want me to run all of our database records through the district queries to catch the changes. Not a…

  • Special Day

    Today is a very special day, at least to me. It’s my wife’s birthday! None of what you see on this site would be possible without her support and understanding, so if you appreciate what goes on here, you owe it to her to at least hope she has a happy birthday! Follow these topics:…

    Spent part of the day today upgrading the Child Abuse blog to Movable Type version 3.2. The upgrade process wasn’t too difficult, but there have been some slight changes to the admin sections that’ll take some getting used to, and it’ll take me a few days of use to really get a feel for the…

  • My own thoughts

    Regarding my previous question from the weekend about where you draw the line between keeping up a good relationship with your users and letting them walk all over you with non-work technology issues, I would mostly err on the side of letting them walk over you. There’s definitely a line that needs to be drawn…

  • Google Reader

    Like any true geek, I couldn’t resist trying out the new Google Reader over the weekend. The short verdict? It’s not a bad first attempt, although it loads a bit slow with my 238 feeds. On the other hand, as my days have gotten busier and busier of late, I’ve come to appreciate more and…
