Lately, I seem to be the fountain of fucking awesome ideas. I go through bursts with this, really. I’ll have a whole stream of ideas that need to be addressed and I find myself waking up at 3 a.m. to scribble notes in a Moleskine. So many good ideas. RocketGarage, which is actually being worked-on. [...]
Been playing the hell out of BFBC2 lately (username on there is “Fontosaurus”), and not much else. Just found out my brother is on the PC version, and have heard that you can play PS3 vs. PC. Whether or not that’s true is something that I can’t seem to Google. All this mayhem has given [...]

An e-book, free, with simple recipes for good food. Going to be trying some of this in the future. Joe Lieberman wants you to relax about the [...]
This site is going to be my test case for upgrading to WP 3.0. Should it go offline, well, that’s the reason. Really looking forward to the new features. UPDATE: I am always amazed at how smoothly the WordPress update process goes.
Mac OS X 10.6.x. Apache/MySQL/PHP server working fine, right? Install Rails and the Apache2 support (Passenger?) a few months ago. Now the system won’t process .php files unless the filename is in the URL string. Interesting, but also an issue as many PHP based apps just look for directory roots. Going to try to solve [...]
