Before you throw your kickoff party and let marketing run the show, please, try to imagine the fun you’d have if the 800 number on your box of soap flakes rang any phone in your firm at random.
This open business plan is off to a good start, as people have written me aside to offer examples, advice, and to pose some challenging questions. This is kind of how I’d expect things to be, even though at first it sounded like a stupid idea to some.
And becuse is is a stupid idea. At […]
I’ve not written lately. There are two reasons.
1) I HATE MY BLOG.
WordPress is a trial, but more importantly, this is the default theme, and I don’t feel like dicking around with PHP long enough to change it. I keep hoping to bring the old blog back, and use that, but Think New Orleans is in […]
I’d like to go down to New Orleans. I’d like to have something to do while I’m there, some work. I don’t want to to do anything profit oriented with Think New Orleans, of course. That’s not the purpose of Think New Orleans. It does cost money to run Think New Orleans, and to live […]
I’ll be blogging more now that I’m getting out of administration, and back into development. There has been little to discuss since much of what I’ve been doing has been quite rote. It reads rote.

Must make an effort to do something noteworthy soon. There are many little things that I’m addressing in my day to day, but nothing worth blogging about.
It would be nice to be able to blog more, but I find that I’m far more productive the less I observe the blogosphere and the 24 hour news […]
Created my own certificate authority. Here are the notes.
First off, save time and tedium by using TinyCA. The dialog boxes have the appropriate defaults, and generally do the right thing. Otherwise, I find myself pecking out complicated openssl invocations, transcribed from the mod_ssl FAQ.
My VIAO Z505 is still kicking, running W2k and FC 4 […]
Stunningly little is going on in my life right now. I’ve been working with SpamAssassin, and there’s little to say about it really, except that it works. It’s amazing that it works. I’m very pleased with it.
It’s not a blog worthy project, since this software is pretty well documented. I’m reading the SpamAssassin book from […]
