Support the little guy
Monday, January 31st, 2005If you are the kind that never registers shareware, I hope you should reconsider your position and think of how much easier is your life thanks to those inexpensive apps that usually cost $10 here and $20 there. Sure, it does not look like a lot of money unless you use a ton of them, [...]
State of Fear
Saturday, January 29th, 2005I just realized that I never posted a review for Michael Crichton’s State of Fear, a book that I read a few weeks ago and still think about it every day. State of Fear is a novelization of his current obsession with the politics of science. In the book he covers mostly the global warming [...]
CBI
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005CBI is a military acronym that means “cleared before isolated.”? It is used by electronics maintenance crews to explain when a problem goes away before you have had a chance to troubleshoot it properly. The actual definition of CBI is “somebody did something to fix it but won’t say shit about it, so we’ll say [...]
Apache doesn’t like FileVault
Sunday, January 23rd, 2005A note of caution to those of you using OS X as a development platform: do not turn on FileVault if you are using the local copy of Apache and you have the local root of the web server pointing to your ~/Sites folder. The sonofabitch won’t work. There is probably a workaround for this, [...]

Sunday, January 23rd, 2005Johnny Carson died today (on my frickin birthday!), he was 79. Official site WikiPedia entry IMDB entry
All your unsecured wireless routers are belong to me
Sunday, January 23rd, 2005Waiting for pizza decided to open the powerbook just for the hell of it. 30 seconds later I was online. You gotta love them unsecured WiFi hotspots.
Import/Export MySQL data dumps
Sunday, January 23rd, 2005This is not a tutorial, but sort of a note so I have a reliable place to go look for this when I forget it 5 minutes from now. Export to a dump file: mysqldump -u USER -pPASSWORD DBNAME > filename.sql Import from a dump file: mysql -u USER -p DBNAME < filename.sql
I guess I did not get the memo
Saturday, January 22nd, 2005While reading Griffin’s By Order of the President I ran into something so unbelievable that I actually stopped reading so I could google it: The US Secret Service now works from the Department of Homeland Security instead of from the Department of the Treasury, where they had been since day one. Totally unreal. And totally [...]
By Order of the President, by W.E.B. Griffin
Saturday, January 22nd, 2005Just started reading my birthday present, By Order of the President, by W.E.B. Griffin. This is the first book of a new series, sort of Brotherhood of War set on the post-9/11 world. Griffin detractors will say that it reads just like every other book he has written before. Griffin fans will say that it [...]
