  1. Where were you? February 28, 2002

    I found an interesting discussion today, and thought it was well worth cribbing to use here on my site. One of the members of the HTF started a thread asking where people were and what they remember about significant dates in history.

  2. They fight crime! February 28, 2002

    He’s a hate-fuelled misogynist stage actor from the Mississippi delta. She’s a transdimensional red-headed nun who hides her beauty behind a pair of thick-framed spectacles. They fight crime!

  3. Moving soon February 28, 2002

    I talked to Melvin last night, and got the go-ahead to move into the new apartment, probably starting next week sometime, so that I can be in by the 15th.

  4. Enterprise: Fusion February 27, 2002

    Finally…after 16 episodes of interesting but non-typical behavior (as far as we know) from the Vulcans shown on Enterprise, we finally get a show exploring a bit more about Vulcan culture…albeit in an unusual fashion.

  5. No more splash page February 27, 2002

    I just nuked the splash page for my site, so now this page should be the first thing you see. I’d been tossing it over in my head for a while, as it really didn’t serve a purpose other than making it just a little harder to get to the actual content of my site.

  6. Cross-platform 3.0 February 27, 2002

    Just wanted to let you know that you should revise your opinion about OmniWeb. The latest sneaky peek versions have much improved CSS support. The attached screenshot shows your page using the latest sneaky peek version 49 released today. While it’s not perfect, you’ll surely agree that it’s a huge step forward.

  7. Enterprise parody season February 27, 2002

    THE TROUBLE WITH TROUSERS: The Enterprise discovers the planet of the Geramines, descendants of radical feminists who fled Earth after the Phallus Wars. As the inhabitants will only speak to women, T’Pol beams down to make First Contact. Disaster ensues when the Geramines take offence to her trousers, a symbol of male patriarchy.

  8. New blog name February 26, 2002

    Please excuse such a long letter — I didn’t have time to write a short one.

  9. How much of a nerd are you? February 26, 2002

    Apparently browsing the web from the command line is pretty nerdy….

  10. BtSOD (Blue t-Shirt of Death) February 25, 2002

    Once I know I’ve got the funds settled for both the move and my June trip to Alaska for James and Stacy’s wedding, I’m getting at least one of these. Probably one of the BSOD-t’s and the Mac Bomb-t.

  11. Copy-proof CD’s not so copy-proof? February 25, 2002

    I found a thread on the HTF today (which has since been deleted) — apparently the new ‘copy proof’ CD’s can be copied with some old software. The copies may actually be better than the original CD’s, too!

  12. I knew it wouldn’t all be good news February 25, 2002

    Because I’ll be starting the connection process over, my website could be down for as much as close to 2 months. Speakeasy asks to allow up to two weeks for the connection to take place (from placing the order to the signal coming up and online), and they can’t start the process until after you’ve had a working phone at the address for a month.

  13. Hedwig - first impressions February 25, 2002

    I just got done watching Hedwig and the Angry Inch and…well…to be honest, I’m not really sure right off the bat just what I thought of this film. I’m going to let it percolate in my brain for a bit — I’ve got to get to bed right now and post more thoughts on it later.

  14. Infocom presents Tetris February 24, 2002

    You are looking at the shaft. A large red block, four units by one unit, is above your head, dropping slowly. It has its long edge horizontally aligned.

  15. A splash of color February 24, 2002

    A bit of visual design tweaking on the website, which, of course, messes something else up.

  16. Lots of moves, and Casey turns 30 February 24, 2002

    I don’t think I remember quite all of it, but I think it was crumb cake and white cake crumbled into pieces and mixed with pudding, put into a litterbox, with a litter scooper for a cutting/serving tool, and complete with Tootsie Rolls melted and formed into the right shapes to serve as kitty poop!

  17. The pope said what? February 21, 2002

    In November, the frail and ailing Pontiff sent his first email, a message sent to his Bishops in Oceania in lieu of what would be a taxing visit. ‘This new Internet is a Blessing from the Lord,’ the Pope said through an interpreter, ‘but Jesus Motherfarking Christ, these annoying-ass pop-up ads are farking pissing me off.’

  19. Cross-platform 2.0 February 20, 2002

    Tom was good enough to send me two screenshots of my site that he took on his *nix box. Generally good results, but (sigh) not perfect.

  20. MT Upgrade February 20, 2002

    While I’m sure this matters to absolutely nobody except me, I thought I’d post a quick note to track the changes — I’ve just upgraded Movable Type (the scripts that I use to run and manage my blog) to version 1.4.

    Need a cheap excuse to party? At 8:02pm tonight, if you use military time, it will be 20:02 20/02 2002. This won’t happen again until Dec. 12, 2112 at 12:12pm — and won’t happen again after that.

  24. Britney Spears February 18, 2002

    [Britney Spears] is progressively wearing less and less at an alarming rate. It won’t be long until she’s dancing around bare ass nude at Arena football halftime shows while dousing her naked gyrating body in Pepsi.
