End of Silence

I suppose having a template that only shows recent posts on the home page is one way of making sure you blog on a semi-regular basis. I’ve found that Twitter, Flickr and Delicious are commanding more of my attention these days than the blog. Well, and work and family…
The summer rolls on. It’s been a [...]

I don’t know what’s causing the formatting problems with the delicious auto posting, so I killed it. I’m going to try to resume proper blog posting. If you liked following the links, you can find add the RSS feed or just check the page. It should be linked over on the right as well.

We finally sent the Xmas cards out early this afternoon. There are a few stragglers, but the majority are on their way. We’re staying in Austin for the holidays this year. The Wife’s parents, brother and my sister are in town. No big plans for tomorrow, so we’ll take the lazy Sunday at home as [...]

Arlen Specter has finally grown a pair and is calling for hearings on W’s presidential power grab. The impetus was this article from the Boston Globe, calling out the massive number of signing statements that POTUS has issued and how his use of them differs from past POTUS’s. It also calls attention to the fact [...]

Lily Yayeri Trentham arrived yesterday, October 11th at exactly 6:00pm. She weighed 8 lbs. and was 20 1/2″ long.

I went ahead and linked the first version of the Paul Tatara database on the main menu. I’ll be tweaking it some more over the next few weeks, but most of the functionality is there.

I’m still working on the DID feature. I’m having to check the size of the image that Amazon is sending me and that seems to have slowed the queries down a little too much. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that. The Paul Tatara Movie Database is also delayed a little since [...]

I’ve run into a holdup with the Desert Island Discs feature. My ISP is quite a bit behind in PHP versions and a function that I really need to complete it isn’t available in the version that they’re running. After trading emails with them, I found out that they’re “in the process of upgrading”. Not [...]

Turns out that I had mistyped the path to the image with back slashes instead of forward slashes. Apparently, IE 6 corrects that type of error and displays the image while IE 5 does not. This explains why I wasn’t having a problem, but others were. I love it when Microsoft “helps” me.
