OK, so I’m actually slight more than halfway to the 1001 days alluded to in the blog posting “101 in 1001 for my 1000th post.” Halfway was actually a day and half ago – it’s been 502 days since I published my list of 101 things I intended to do in the subsequent 1001 days. […]
For a while there, a lot of blog comment spam was getting through my spam filters. Some were getting through the filters completely and showing up on my blog and more were showing up in the “hmm, we aren’t sure if this is spam or not, so please moderate” folder. I’m talking 5, sometimes 10 […]
Apparently I’ve caught the conference bug, because here I am at yet another conference. I know I promised to blog about something actually interesting to my usual readers after all those conference posts earlier this week, but it’s my blog and I’ll prevaricate if I want to.

Tod’s wifi was b0rked today, so I tried to tether my laptop to my iPhone. But it didn’t work. I have no idea why. The phone said it was tethering, the laptop said the phone was connected, yet I wasn’t connected to the Internets. And just now I tried plugging my laptop into the Internets […]
