Shell scripts, JavaScript pedantry, CSS fixations, Java debugging, and the rest of the polyglotism.
It’s a good thing. Great article by Peggy Rogers. (via Raelity Bytes.) But many hackers in the original sense — now called ”white hats” — operate on the up and up; they go under the hood of tech products, legitimately experimenting to add features and expand the capabilities of digital hardware, search engines, games, other […]
actionscript viewer 4.0 released. I just got used to MX (i.e., “Flash 6”) and here they come stomping out w/ MX2K (a.k.a., “Flash 7”) and messing everything up for me ALL OVER again…

Could the timing by *any* better!? Terribly interesting piece on open source in Africa shows up on Boing Boing right as this thread was starting to get somewhere… Open source is the only affordable, reliable option for the long term, he says. A spreadsheet supports his contention — installation of servers, workstations, networks and, crucially, […]
To pick up where we left off… Firstly: Paolillo’s research was done as a refutation to the idea that the net, in and of itself, is democratic and diverse because of its global reach and will hence foster those principles by its very nature. w00t! I couldn’t agree more. The assumption that the net (in […]
ls -aLR “My Brain” Successful PHP experiment re: generating random 6-char passwords. That feels pretty good… Elsewhere– I love it when I can’t follow the argument. I hope I’m just too tired to comprehend. (Jury of what…? Who? When?) Still, you ever get that feeling like the cat is already out of Pandora’s little box…? […]
so i successfully compiled and used GIMP (by way of fink and X11) last night. The iBook now has graphics, albeit a graphics program that will take a LOT of getting used to. Photoshop it ain’t — but it’ll have to do for now. Anyway, I must say that there’s nothing quite like watching the […]
finally got the XSL transforms working on my XML docs. Sort of. By “sort of” I mean that the DTD I wrote validates and when I run the XML docs through jEdit’s XSLT Processor plug-in, I get the desired results. Almost. *sigh* The 1st secret turned out to be this: use “xsl:for-each” in about half […]
tough decisions to make. Fink gets my crank turning and makes me perhaps a little too excited about getting Gimp and Sablotron up and running w/ little to no troubles… Sounds terrific! But there’s this problem for Fink when one is running Virex 7.2 virus protection. Naturally, that’s the most up-to-date version of Virex. *sigh* […]
Czar– Thought this was it? Oh that… That was 4 beers into a meditation on that job medley. Love code. Love graphics. Love web de(sign|velopment). Hate answering bullshit questions. But even that is 2ndary to feeling like I was lied to. “Thought this was it…” Thought this job would be where I settled for a […]
