Wondering whether you should upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, but a bit concerned you’ll lose your favorite Firefox plugins, themes, layouts, and settings? Well, worry no more…
This blog was crippled last week by a hacker using a known SQL injection exploit. Most likely, all that pain and suffering I went through during restoration could have avoided if I’d followed three simple procedures.
When hackers from (or at least through) China brought this website crashing to its knees earlier this week, I learned a valuable lesson: Keep up with patches to popular web applications.
I’m in the market in the next few months for a new car. This one is guaranteed to be a convertible since I’ve been stuck in a non-convertible Saturn SL2 economy sedan for more than ten years now. The price of whatever vehicle I get is definitely a major component to consider so I’ve ruled [...]
And, speaking of Doctor Who, I’ve spent quite a bit of time over the past 12 to 18 months working on my model of a TARDIS in LightWave, most of the time being a few hour stints of actual work interspersed with many months of inactivity.
This project has had quite a bit of a learning [...]
The unannounced server migration that I started on Monday has not gone as smoothly as I would have liked, but I didn’t really expect it to.
Why the move? Twenty times the storage, five times the bandwidth, less than half the cost. I’ll save myself about $1,000 a year.

Because I have more than five authors, I’d be required to send them $100 in [...]
My Eudora email client started giving me a strange and frustrating error message the other day. Every time I sent out email, a Winsock network timeout error code 10053 showed up in the Task Errors window. Coincidentally, I had recently installed a few other minor applications so it was almost impossible to easily isolate the [...]
I recently received an email from an ex-client, a candidate for State Assembly, excerpted below, in response to my demand for “payment after working [for her for] two months without compensation” and that she “obviously have had no intention of paying me at all.”
I am sorry you feel that way. You can be angry, or [...]
I think the migration to version 2.63 of my Movable Type weblog management system from version 2.21 is now complete (for richard’s ramblings, at least). Whew! Several upgrade steps were skipped and I went directly from the old version to the new one, skipping versions 2.5, 2.51, 2.6, 2.61, and 2.62.
I’m glad I made the [...]
