Now with Superlatives!
Vanity Foul is now running Roller 0.9.6+ (the plus is a fix for a personal bug). Look for more improvements to come. ( Oct 24 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) Roller Permalink

Old World Order
It's not fair, my best friend gets invited to join an exclusive, historical, organization and I get nothing. If anyone deserves to join such an "enlightened society" [quote from their site] its me!
Eh, never mind.

Wild Animal Kingdom, Redux: well, we called around last night and could not find anyone available to come take care of the possum (except one guy who was 50 miles away and would have charged a bundle), so we released the critter. I'm just hoping it's learned its lesson and won't try crawling into our dryer vent again. ( Oct 24 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) News Permalink

Too much technology!
A thought while riding the bus into work this mornging: If I were to combine StrutsCX with a Struts-to-Swing approach, and then finished it off with JellySwing what would I have? Probably a headache, but it might be fun to try. Yeah right, when am I going to find time for this fun project? ( Oct 24 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) Technology Permalink

Wild Animal Kingdom
I came downstairs to check my email, and move laundry into the dryer, when I heard something in the exhaust tube (one of those flexible ones). Disconnected the tube and out came a young possum! We are now waiting on Animal Control to find out what we should do with it. ( Oct 23 2002, 11:41:15 PM ) News Permalink

File Upload get appreciated
Matt says " BTW, I used the file-upload feature of roller for the first time with this post - worked very slick".
Thanks! :-) ( Oct 23 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) Roller Permalink

Best Password Practices
Charles comes through again with some good stuff. This time, its about the give-and-takes in designing a user authentication system. ( Oct 23 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) Technology Permalink

Bye bye Brainopolis
Because it costs too darned much, I've had to drop my iDSL. Until I can get things ironed out Brainopolis will cease to be available on or about 10/23/2002, since I was self-hosted. I'll try to get it back 'on the net' as soon as I can. ( Oct 23 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) News Permalink
