I snapped this picture today because I found it morbidly funny. (Click the image to view the full 768×1024 version.) The view is from the end of the deck, looking at the back door that leads to the garage, which right now is our main access to the trash can. I’m now wondering how many… Continue reading Trap

More Snow
Over the New Year holiday we ended up with even more snow—I measured 13 inches total today, and I’m sure when these photos were taken (on Thursday, the first) it was deeper than that (before it melted down). This is looking into my front yard from the driveway (it’s diagonal, though, so the house you… Continue reading More Snow
Picking up the pace
Now that the holidays are over, perhaps I’ll pick up the pace again and blog more. I noticed this same trend last year; my blogging nearly died off in November and December. I guess I get distracted by the holidays and rather than blogging, fill my time with other activities when I have the energy,… Continue reading Picking up the pace
Happy New Year
Happy New Year one and all. Hopefully 2004 will be kind. I’ve already decided that for 2004 one of my big themes will be “data aggregation.” Oh, and I’m working on my own “Top X of 2003” type lists just for grins. Should be up in a day or 2. Mostly un-mainstream.
Snowscapes
Been offline most of the holidays, but I thought I’d post some pictures we took of Bend’s big snowfall. Here’s a good idea of how deep the snow got (Bend ended up with 11 or 12 inches overall). Click for full size 768×1024, 480×640 1024×768, 640×480 1024×768, 640×480
The Night Before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And… Continue reading The Night Before Christmas
Flu Season
Been slow to post anything the last couple of days, mostly because we have the flu in the house, and we’ve been nursing sick kids. It’s mostly run its course, but turned into an ear infection in our oldest, and we got antibiotics for that today. And no, we didn’t get flu shots. I’ve never… Continue reading Flu Season
Content Management: Spokane Database Schema
As promised, here’s my proposed database schema (using MySQL) for my Spokane Personal Publishing System. It’s long and technical, read on at your own risk.
TrackBack?
Jeremy Zawodny had a post imagining a corporate worst-case scenario involving that ubiquitous Movable Type-developed technology, TrackBack. I’d been musing over TrackBack for awhile, and two things yesterday got me looking deeper into it: Zawodny’s blog entry, and the link to my site from Ensight that I detailed in my previous entry. I’ll admit, before… Continue reading TrackBack?
A Little Ensight
Jeremy Wright over on Ensight has wrote up some good commentary to my Thoughts on Content Management post from a few days back. He’s hit on the exact points that prompted me to explore this topic: “most CMS’s are piss poorly designed” (which is exactly right; most are piss-poorly designed, I’m just as guilty of… Continue reading A Little Ensight
