Jake over on UtterlyBoring is having some serious back problems and could definitely use some support. So, if you can, donate to Jake, or maybe buy something from his Orty.com store. If things are tight, hey, I understand, just send him some email or link to his site. Every little bit helps!

Busy busy weekend. Most of it was holiday-oriented, though, and you can see the fruits of a good part of that in our nice six foot Douglas fir that’s laden with ornaments there on the right. Click for the larger image in all its glory. And of course, I couldn’t resist including a picture of… Continue reading O Tannenbaum
Search Snafu
This article on Gadgetopia links to my content management post I made yesterday (er, today?) and brings up a drawback to my system that I forgot to include: searching. Within the relational database world, you can do precise, structured queries against specific fields in your tables. In a properly normalized database, this is all-powerful. However,… Continue reading Search Snafu
Thoughts on Content Management
I’ve been thinking a long time about content management systems (which isn’t surprising considering developing various types of website CMSes is what I do for a living), how they pertain to weblogs and similar types of content, how to implement them in PHP and MySQL, and what type of system I would really like to… Continue reading Thoughts on Content Management
NetOffice
Installed NetOffice, PHP project management software, this morning to better manage my various Web projects. Once it’s up and working, it’s a pretty slick piece of software. Had some trouble installing it and getting it to work initially, though. First, after it’s installed, it prompts to you log in to start using the software—with a… Continue reading NetOffice
BendBuzz

It’s a weblog-type site devoted to Bend and Central Oregon—not necessarily news per se (which Bend.com has pretty well covered), but for anything we can think… Continue reading BendBuzz
Late night
Late tonight. I’m actually working on 2 big articles to post here, at least one of them will be up tomorrow sometime. They’re long, geeky passages on content management, PHP, data modelling, metadata, and stuff that’s been floating around in my mind for awhile, and it’s about time for it to come oozing out. Be… Continue reading Late night
The Far Side
Come on—who wouldn’t want The Complete Far Side for Christmas?
Beer Brewing Software
For some reason that I now forget I started digging around online tonight to see what the current state of beer brewing software looks like. The last time I’d played with any such software, I installed the evaluation version of ProMash on my old computer and tried it out. It’s probably the best piece of… Continue reading Beer Brewing Software
C-64 Emulator for PalmOS
It had to happen, read about it here—there’s a free Commodore 64 emulator for PalmOS. I’d love to download this for my Clié, but alas, it requires PalmOS version 5 and my Clié only has a version 4 variant.
