    The domains I registered yesterday came online today. Yay! I did a whole lot of nothing today. I mostly just slept. It figures after having been out until four, and then geekin’ out until almost seven (collecting lists of unregistered dot-coms). The gig at Skip’s Tavern last night went well. We all had a good… Continue reading

    I just registered braincase.net and jspace.org with register.com. They should be working tomorrow, or at least by Monday. I’m playing at Skips Tavern on Cortland Avenue in San Francisco tonight. Stop by! (We played there last night too.) Update: All done with the gig- it went well! We were all having fun, and our dynamics… Continue reading

    Ok, we got the server rendering and everything seems ok, but we have to make sure Content Server is running correctly. We’ll do that Monday. Our production server’s drive bit it yesterday, and as Murphy would have it, there was no backup. We’ve got copies of all the stuff floating around, but we’ll have to… Continue reading

    I just heard on NPR news that Bill Gates is resigning his position as CEO of Microsoft, but he will remain Chairman of the Board. I just downloaded NetPresenz and Rumor Mill. I’m going to use Frontier for http, but I needed an ftp server, and wanted an nntp server (but God knows why). I… Continue reading

    The PacBell guys came today and hooked up my DSL line. Woah Dude! Five full-time static IPs. I’m stoked! FYI, Jeff Cheney had dinner with me, Sally, Brad Rowe (now former guitarrist for Soul Detour), and a couple of other friends at our house, and we sat on our couches. I find myself in the… Continue reading

    Dave’s got an adaptation of Alan German’s ftp fileWriter verbs up for review. They’re going to live at tcp.ftp. This is really cool, and it will help me to get pages from the Macworld staging server to the live server. I’ve talked with Jeff Cheney about my change of direction with regard to Macworld content… Continue reading

    I know I’m beating a dead horse, but I put up some pictures of my living room, complete with couches. There are both before and after shots. We did the first of the third round of recording sessions today. Expect to find some new music on the Soul Detour site in a few weeks. I… Continue reading

    I saw Dave’s link on Scripting News about how you can get an iTools account without having MacOS 9, so I went and signed up twelve addresses: dood@mac.com, geekout@mac.com, idiot@mac.com, inverted@mac.com, jakester@mac.com, jsavin@mac.com, messiah@mac.com, missamerica@mac.com, mramerica@mac.com, sallyc@mac.com, thelist@mac.com and the_one@mac.com!

    I’ve started a page with pictures of the Macworld Expo. There’s another page for pictures I took at the Mac the Knife party: I got a call for a gig at the Paradise Lounge, and hopefully I’m gonna do it. It’s pending verification that I don’t have a schedule conflict. Update: They already found another… Continue reading

    Ok, I’m getting custom data into and out of the discussion group messages. The data is only added when a message is a story, but it’s not deleted if the story is demoted. Next I need to customize the story-reader and message-reader so that they show me the extra info in a reasonable format. The… Continue reading
