I think it must be my old age shining through but rather than go down to the meeting and cause hate and discontent I decided to repair a hole in my kitchen floor instead. As much as I enjoy awkward conversations (when I’m the instigator), it just seemed like a lot of effort - [...]
Tagged drama, grey area, o rlyThis afternoon my neighbor (who I’d never met before) showed up at my door with a bundle of bright pink papers. He explained to me that he was inviting me to a meeting tomorrow at our local library that would help me make vast amounts of money. Oh really?
I probed for some details [...]
Mozilla’s SVN repository was started on September 2nd, 2006 and just hit 10000 commits. That’s an average of over 19 commits a day for 520 days straight!
After my positive experience with python I was gearing up for a script to do some repository analysis when I ran across MPY SVN Stats. After a [...]
I took the afternoon off work so I could drive to Portland to attend Ignite Portland. The introduction didn’t start until 6:20pm - I drove past the theatre at 4:45pm and there was already a line. The 500 person seating limit was filled while there were still people waiting in line. I [...]

Tagged caching, CakePHP, code, MozillaI’m not one to jump on bandwagons just because they’re rolling by (even with great companions), but I started using Python in one of my projects and I’ve got to say that I’m pretty happy with it. I think their documentation leaves something to be desired but overall the language is pretty intuitive and [...]

Over the past couple of days I’ve felt a growing confusion about how the web infrastructure [...]
I woke up this morning to some guy talking about sports. What happened to being lulled from sleep by a soothing melody? Before I could voice my objection I remembered something about my dream that gave me pause. There was a name that kept repeating itself. Chanting - as if it [...]
Tagged blah blah, Mozilla, personalSorry for the short notice but there is a December Coders Bash tonight that Mozilla is helping sponsor. It starts at 7pm at CubeSpace. Drop by if you get a chance - it’s informal and sounds like a bunch of fun. Stealing from the linked page:
