Charles Christopher FTW

A fellow denizen of the network cube farm hipped me to this online comic. It starts here for the moment. At turns silly and beautiful and poetic, it’s a delight to read. I hoovered up everything in the space of a few moments this morning. It now sits in my collection of RSS feeds. Simply…

Bad Day

I know it’s probably landed in you inbox once or twice already but Elz forwarded this one to me today. Particularly prescient given what’s been going on at work since I walked in the door this morning. Sometimes a plugin upgrade isn’t really a great idea. Then again, you never know until you test it…

Server Hiccup

UPDATE: 2007-12-20T22:26 And now? She is fixed. Lucky to have a spare box laying about with a functional power supply. Next one that goes requires a trip to newegg though.

Metafilter Does Economics

MeFi does some things poorly. It does other topics quite well. This he-said she-said over the possible US economic collapse is insightful even if the FPP contains some dubious linkage.

Stormy and the Like

The ice wasn’t too horrible out here and the snow has been nice. Then again I didn’t clean off the driveway before heading off to work. Work that started at noon. Feeling really mellow and listening to a lot of Brubeck today. It’s nice. Last night was an interesting night on the desk. Was propositioned…
