  • Ok, so I couldn’t help myself. I went out and picked up a digital camera: a Kodak DC215 Zoom. Now I can put photos up all over the place. Oh, what fun… Now I just have to figure out how to use it!
  • We’re getting ready to try out an NT server for search.macweek.com, to try to abate some of the problems we’ve been having with the server bogging down after a couple of hours. I hope it helps. It’s been my experience that with the exception of the outline processer’s UI, Frontier seems to be both faster and more stable on Windows NT than on MacOS.
  • I’ve been trying to sign up to a group that I was invited to join at www.anyday.com, but their directions are vague, and following them doesn’t seem to do what they say it will. I managed to get an account, but I can’t for the life of me manage to join the group. Frontier could do this much better…
  • What are your New Year’s plans? I have none. Lame, huh? ;): Smile!
  • I’m feeling a little better today. I’m at work for a half-day.

  • I just struck upon an idea: I could use multiple Manila sites (and guest databases) to host different sections of Macworld. Now how to split it up? By issue? By year? By content area? Still thinking about this…
  • It’s true- I am getting sick. I stayed home from work today, and I’m coughing, sneezing, and running at the nose… Oh well. I just hope I’m at least mostly over it by New Year’s Eve.
  • I ordered DSL with 5 static IP addresses today. They’re supposed to hook it up on the 12th, barring the end of the world.
  • I saw a small note on Scripting News that they had implemented preliminary support for static sites from Manila. I’m wondering what the paradigm is. Will this support scalable content as well?

  • I just posted a new picture on Sally’s website. I really need to get a digital camera so I don’t have to scan the big pieces in sections, to be edited together. At Sonic, I used to have access to a really big scanner, but now I’ve only got an 8.5″x11″.
  • I heard today on NPR that the New Years Eve festivities at the Space Needle in Seattle have been cancelled. Here’s the story on CNN.
  • I’m working on getting Macworld.com running as a Manila site.
  • I’ve been getting pretty sick of the financial folks at Sonic. I left there the day before Thanksgiving, and I have 90 days to exercise my stock options. At my exit interview, they misrepresented the number of options I have vested, and now I’ve been unable to get them to send me the information I need in order to exercise them. It’s been almost two weeks, and I’ve emailed repeatedly to no avail. I’ve already missed one opportunity to double my money, and I expect there will be at least one more before they dry up. Anyone have experience here? I’ve heard from some friends that it can be incredibly difficult to get a former employer to cooperate when dealing with stock options…
  • It’s Sally’s Birthday today!
  • It seems as though I’m coming down with something. My sinuses are irritated, and my nose is running. Gee, I wonder who I got that from…
  • We’re back in green-screen colors. You like? (I always did think the green-on-black look was easy to read.)
