A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

I just tried out Wridea. I don’t get it. It’s supposed to be an idea processor, but I prefer using an outliner.

Mashable has some pretty funny MySpace profiles. This is why advertisers won’t value MySpace.

Here’s a prediction for 2007 - it’s gonna be just as filled with pseudoscientific crap as 2006 was.

One would think that the ID movement might try to get the left hand to talk to the right. Evidently not.

I’ve got it figured out! File_Find is a PHP (PEAR) package to make it easy to search filesystems. This article provides code samples describing how it is used to map directory trees. Why is this useful? Well, it makes it so that one can easily set up a mirror service to the OPML blog server. The pieces are all falling in to place. I think my first task for 2006 is to make a substitute version of the blog hosting component for the OPML Editor. That way, I can be sure that if opml.org doesn’t continue to exist, I can still blog in the same way. This is how Dave designed it to be, anyway. Anyone want to work on this with me? It’s all gonna be just PHP5, flat-file and XML. Work will either be done by e-mail or CVS/SVN once we get there. (I see that Eclipse now supports Subversion, so that makes things a bit easier).
