Blog post (yesterday, now) http://ping.fm/WvCZh Man I gotta keep the updates up to date
I wonder if the obsession with Obama merc reflects a cult of celebrity or just the opportunism of this economic climate?
Only 4 days left…

Nice! Makes a site-search button for every result.

#twitter I think my problem before was a momentary burp. http://ping.fm/STiVm There’s still that ‘issue’, whatever it is.
Seems like Twitter is producing a slightly malformed feed: http://ping.fm/STiVm
More tweetwork. Time to manage some mischief… (Talk about obscure updates!)
Twitter API FTW. Thanks for making it so simple, guys! #twitter
Time for the tweet project. Maybe it’ll be of some use to someone, sometime… (haha.) #twitter
Found the font finally… ‘Whatafont’ had better luck than Identifont.
Oddly, fonts appear to be ‘similar’ based on a single characteristic, and not the one I’m looking for. What is one to do…
Today, Indentifont bestows the gift of fail. Of course, It doesn’t help having limited characters, either…
Sitemap generator… ALMOST complete… to create it by hand can be a bear.
It is possible one needs to babysit one’s keyword ‘broad matches’ - but you already knew that… (you’d be surprised what ‘matches’)
Another run through meta… it should now be possible to crunch all of it statistically. All pages have unique meta, as well. Step 1…
I’m coding and listening to ‘Waltz for Debby’ - Bill Evans and Tony Bennett. So full of stars!

I’m very irritated at having to clean up more redundant tables. They make tag soup happen quickly.
I just got a spam call from something like (012)-34-567. It’s not even possibly a valid number in the USA.
Back-ups, then home, dinner, Vespers… Is there something else this Tuesday? Someone let me know.
Finished porting of all Metadata to new format. Whew! That took a lot longer than I’d have liked.
In a democracy, the line between law and tyranny is popularity. All that remains is the willingness of the leader to wear the crown.

The proper way to handle this common situation.

Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos,…
United Airlines dropped my Mom off at Dulles when she needed to be at BWI. Wouldn’t pay for transport. 1am drive to Dulles = LONG.
Seen on local Antiochian Orthodox church: http://ping.fm/LpVa7?pid=36851393&id=68101128 Sad, partly because the graffiti is of such poor quality. (Not to mention ignorant!)
Eating yogurt w/o spoon: Pointless!
You know it’s been cold when 28 degrees seems warm and inviting.
Augggh! Well, changing old scripts into new code… it’s a bear.
I actually think I could really use a hot drink today, but Dunkin’ Doughnuts is far enough that it would negate the benefit…
The cold is killer today. Killer! Scarves are the new ties, folks.
So, what bad news related to the recession can we drum up today to help it deepen? Heisenberg principle of news, IMHO.
Through use of server side code, I have eliminated a few cases where the user cannot use the back button (Possibly.)
Funny, the insurance company rep wasn’t too bad (though I was quite rude) but getting to them took ages. Plus, I had to re-enter info.
Getting some pages out of quirks mode - might require rewriting them from scratch!
I’ve noticed that sometimes FTP does not get a file correct. I’ve every once in awhile found a messed up image.
Before optimization: 48K. After optimization: 17.6k…
(looks at Analytics) Organic is lumpy.
Morning returns again. It seems like clockwork, but I’m always surprised for some reason…
I Listen to swing, “Oldies” they say, a lot. Not out of nostalgia, but to understand one of the last kinds of music that was truly ‘popular’
Man, I must be old-fashioned. I’m really enjoying this Dixieland album…
