WordPress 1.5
Filed in blog, Tue, 15 Feb 2005, 5:15 pmI knew I should have read Michael’s post when it appeared in my aggregator this morning. WordPress 1.5 “Strayhorn” has been officially released today (although the official announcement is still lacking). I’ve just done a quick backup and upgrade and all but one thing appears to be working - the Dashboard. That’s probably an issue [...]
Here comes the sun
Filed in blog, , 4:20 pmDo-do-do-do… or something like that.
Absolutely beautiful out. Just thought I’d mention that. Lisa left me a voice mail confirming the feeling - just in case I thought I was the only one. What makes a fantastic day like this even better is when you hop in the car, and just the right song comes on. [...]
Lost friends
Filed in blog, Mon, 14 Feb 2005, 6:43 pmQuite an experience yesterday. Lisa and I headed down to Peddler’s Village for a wine and chocolate tasting. While browsing the selection on sale (I finally brokedown and bought a bottle of Chaddsford’s Merican since it was a rare 20% off) the girl at the counter asked us if we were from around there. As [...]
Broadband overload
Filed in blog, , 6:21 pmAre you a slave to your cable modem? Would you die without your DSL line? What would life be life without the Internet? At least one geek is giving it (almost) all up. An interesting read which definitely leads to the question of whether broadband’s vast resources have enslaved us even more than the wait [...]
Unscrewed
Filed in blog, Sat, 12 Feb 2005, 2:14 pmWhat do you get when you combine a failed sex life, improvisation, mockumentary humor, and a low budget? No, not me. Unscrewed.
Last night Lisa and I headed into the city to catch a screening of this small indie film currently playing at the Quad Cinema. It’s only playing there until the 17th, so please check [...]
Oh, The Horror
Filed in blog, Thu, 10 Feb 2005, 1:03 pmWhy, dear God, why would I subject myself to it? I mean, it is #29 on IMDb’s Bottom 100 list (just 2 spots below everybody’s favorite alien invader movie featuring Ol’ St. Nick). But what can I say - House of the Dead was on last night, and I just couldn’t pull myself away from [...]
My kingdom for a search engine
Filed in blog, , 12:00 pmIs there anyway to search the archives of a livejournal user? Am I missing something obvious here? I just want to quote somebody, and I can’t find the stinkin’ entry. Any search I find only looks for usernames… what kind of crap is this? ARRGGH!
Please, everybody, switch to useful blogging software! The LJ interface is [...]
I’m Irish, you say?
Filed in blog, , 11:15 amI guess it’s true (well, I am 50%), but I’m still surprised the quiz got it right.
You are a Dubliner.

TV Victims
Filed in blog, Wed, 9 Feb 2005, 12:48 pmHave you noticed that regular people on the news don’t speak normally anymore? Once someone has a microphone shoved in front of them, they seem to act like watching the last 3 seasons of “Law & Order” has given them formal legal training.
Last night I saw this story on “Fox News” - not on purpose, [...]
Goodbye, Replay
Filed in blog, Tue, 8 Feb 2005, 5:09 pmI joined Replay - the Sam Goody/Suncoast bonus points club - three years ago. One of those days when you find a bunch of things you want in the store all at once, so I earned way more back in rewards than it cost me to join that evening alone. Overall, it worked well for [...]
