I’ve received my “golden ticket” that lets me migrate from an old and crumbling TextDrive BSD server to a Joyent Accelerator.
Hence, many things that have been put off (like fixing the horribly broken blog and website) will happen. And everything will break for a while. Sorry about that. It’ll be better when everything is over [...]
It seems that comment spam and blog comments have done some subtle damage.
You see, until just now, I had Wordpress set so that only previously-approved authors got automatically accepted for comments. I figured, that was enough — if you’ve posted before, no problem. Otherwise, hold for moderation, and I’d just accept the real comments.

My five year old, home-built PC is now running Ubuntu seven point something something. It was that, or reinstall Windows XP.
Again.
Let’s just say that if I was going to put XP on this machine again, I’d be using an axe to do it. There are limits beyond which no-one should be pushed.

At 3:00 a.m. tonight, I’m on my way to Georgia for an IDSA meeting.
(Translation: I get to escape New England in winter for a weekend. Woe is me. :))
I’ve got post-by-email from my Treo working, via Flickr, and the trip is going to involve a riverboat gambling night, so I hope some interesting pictures should [...]
Given that I’ve been handing out cards with the address of this blog on it, I can hardly act as if it’s private anymore, so I suppose I should say “welcome.”
I’m currently at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego, California. I have more than a little repetitive stress injury, and have been typing [...]
