Yikes. For the past, oh, 6 hours or so, I’ve had this error killing the site entirely: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /path/to/blog.inc on line 395 (Of course, if you tried to connect during that time, you’ll know what “/path/to” really is. It’s probably already cached in Google, damn it all.) I’d forgotten… Continue reading Error!

Chicago
Just saw the movie version of Chicago this evening, and I just have to say: eh. I’m sure this will make me popular with those who loved the movie (even my wife loved it, and she normally hates musicals), but I honestly do not see the big deal with this movie, and I certainly don’t… Continue reading Chicago
Back Online
Yep, back from our excellent adventures in camping. It was a good weekend, sunny and hot, the nights not too cold. I was a little nervous about how the kids would do sleeping in the tent this year, but for nothing: they slept better than the adults did. The campground itself was a bit primitive—no… Continue reading Back Online
PHP Cruise Clarification
Back on the 11th I blogged about the PHP Cruise and quoted the price for 2 as $1199.99 plus $819.99. I wanted to clarify that I was talking about the Full Suite pricing, which is the most expensive (and would also be the nicest for traveling with my wife). Marco from php|architect commented to point… Continue reading PHP Cruise Clarification
Offline
I’m going offline this weekend, starting today at noon. We’re going to the annual family reunion, and camping out at Cold Springs Campground just outside of Sisters. And then Sunday when we get back, we have the Beach Boys concert. Full weekend. I may be back online Sunday night. Maybe.
Air Time
More on the California governor race. In order to be fair, federal rules dictate that all candidates have to have equal air time on television, and since there’s a huge disparity between the screen time someone like, say, Arnold Schwarzenegger has and someone like, say, Larry Flynt has, cable TV networks have made the decision… Continue reading Air Time
Google Calculator
Here’s an interesting tidbit: Google now has a built-in calculator. This is a cool feature to be sure, but AlltheWeb has been doing this for a while now (as an undocumented feature), since at least April 14, 2003. Try it and see.
PHP Cruise
Here’s a first: php|architect is organizing a PHP cruise. I’d heard of the geek cruises before, but I certainly never expected to see one exclusively for PHP. Interesting and slightly off-kilter at the same time. Prices put it out of my reach, however. $1199.99 plus $819.99 is just more than I could afford. It might… Continue reading PHP Cruise
Comments are now on
Okay, I’ve enabled user comments and I’m crossing my fingers. You should now be able to post comments to entries, starting with this very entry, if you’re so inclined. Hopefully nothing major will break! 🙂
Garage Salin’
Very tired tonight. We had a garage sale today—or more accurately, my wife had a garage sale, I had to work. Only I spent the night before doing heavy lifting to get things ready for it, and spent a good portion of tonight doing heavy lifting again to bring the big stuff back indoors. (And… Continue reading Garage Salin’
