I received this statement from US veterans concerning the impending invasion of Iraq. While the statement is specifically addressed to active duty troops and reservists who might be involved, I think this view from those who have been there, done that is something we all need to consider.
Some Minor Cosmetic Changes
You might notice that things look a little different here. I made the switch to the Geeklog software. I still have lots of minor tweaking to do, but I think everything is basically functional now.
That didn’t take long
Just four days after I got the comment feature working, I got my first unfriendly comment from an anti-hunting wacko in Britain. Poor Daniel’s life is apparently so pathetic that he has nothing better to do than wander the web and attack the hobbies of people on a different continent. Hey Danny-boy, get a life!!… Continue reading That didn’t take long
The Geeking continues
Got a test version of Geeklog running. I think maybe I like it better than pMachine. Either one is way more complex than I planned to get into when I started this thing. But I guess that’s the way all obsessions start. Maybe it’ll keep me off the streets and away from stalking Kylie.
And still more geekiness
It’s been a boring weekend, and I don’t have much to say. So I started looking for a fancier way to say nothing. I started looking around at other blog software. There’s a bunch of it out there. I found this article that does a pretty good job of categorizing and summarizing the major league… Continue reading And still more geekiness
So what do you think?
I\’ve been geeking again. I went ahead and made the security change necessary to allow the comment function to work. I\’m fairly certain that the only risk is a slight chance of a hacker being able to wipe out the blog, and I don\’t think I\’m really much of a target. Of course, even without… Continue reading So what do you think?

Some interesting items in the news, local and worldwide;
Fox(?) Hunting
Rain yesterday and today has washed away any hopes of hunting today. Maybe it’s time to hunt a different fox. I recently learned that UK hockey mascot (and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model) Kylie Bax has a horse farm on the north side of Lexington and is building a house there. Preliminary intelligence work indicates that… Continue reading Fox(?) Hunting
Perl Jamming Again
I got bored because it was raining, so I decided to play with this site a little more. I found some code that I could add to it to provide a comment system like real blogs have. Unfortunately, getting it working without opening up major security holes turned out to be a problem. Right now,… Continue reading Perl Jamming Again
Let’s Kill all the Lawyers
or at least take away their cell phones. Wired News has a story about an Internet service provider (and all of its clients) being forced offline because one client made fun of Dow Chemical. Dow’s attorneys contacted the ISP’s upstream provider, Verio, claiming that the site violated the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). Verio couldn’t… Continue reading Let’s Kill all the Lawyers
