My Funny Valentine 1 Mar 2009 8:45 PM (16 years ago)

People like John Valentine make me want to get into politics some day. The economy is in shambles, personal freedoms are under attack, and the government is steadily increasing in size and scope. But State Senator Valentine has a plan...

It really pays to digg — coding deathmatch 2.0 9 Apr 2007 6:30 PM (18 years ago)

The good news: The coding deathmatch is back, this time with twice the prize money and a guarantee that every finalist will win something. The bad news: Employees can't compete (obviously), and previous finalists can't win prize money, so that...

Thwarting comment spam 14 Jan 2007 11:12 PM (18 years ago)

There are a variety of approaches to combatting blog spam. Each has its pros and cons, and none of them is perfect. Three common approaches that I've seen: 1. CAPTCHA's can be effective, but spammers are getting better at finding...

Horizontal CSS bar graphs 15 Nov 2006 5:29 AM (18 years ago)

Even though I've been doing CSS for years, I still think it's the coolest thing since sliced bread—the novelty hasn't worn off and probably won't until something better comes along. Last night I gave my CV a much needed update....

It pays to digg — the deathmatch that wasn't 6 Nov 2006 11:12 PM (18 years ago)

Whereas spam is the leading cause of lost productivity for many people, digg is my Achilles' heel. I spend more time on digg (and slashdot and fark) than I'd like to admit, so it's nice to see it finally paying...

The latest 19 Jul 2006 4:48 PM (18 years ago)

So it looks like either my reverse page-hijacking did the trick, or it just fixed itself automagically. I may never know for sure. In other news, jenChat got a long overdue facelift. Fixed a few minor bugs/issues with the code...

Google hijacking and a possible workaround 10 Apr 2006 5:21 PM (19 years ago)

It looks a couple pages on my site got 302-hijacked when I wasn't paying attention... Once upon a time, my site was one of the top Google results for "sqlite and php". Now the pages in question are no longer...

Update 2: Card Caffeination 5 Jan 2006 4:35 PM (19 years ago)

The last eight months or so have also been quite busy due to a not-so-small side project called CardCafe.com. Early in 2005 I was approached by some former associates of mine who had a fantastic idea but needed someone to...

Update 1: A wedding, a hurricane, and a near finagling by the Travelociraptor 5 Jan 2006 3:45 PM (19 years ago)

Okay, so it's been quiet around here as of late. To those looking for updates, or whose emails went unanswered, I apologize and resolve to do better this year. In my defense, I have been a bit busy the last...

IDiocy 3 Oct 2005 2:35 PM (19 years ago)

Dear State Senator Mike Fair, If there were a Dumbass Olympics, you would take the gold in every event. I am referring, of course, to your recent defense of an Intelligent Design curriculum for the State of South Carolina:We'd like...

Fairly unbalanced 30 Aug 2005 5:56 PM (19 years ago)

It's nice that you can always count on the media to be objective, especially during a time of crisis. Oh wait, scratch that. Here are a couple photos and their captions from the Yahoo News web site (emphasis added). A...

text/plain as html in IE, and a workaround 14 Aug 2005 10:59 AM (19 years ago)

God I hate Internet Explorer... Here's another case of Microsoft trying to be clever, but shooting itself in the foot and thwarting its users in the process. If I have a document, say foo.txt, that is in fact a text...

PHP-CLI Semi-FAQ 13 Jun 2005 11:40 PM (19 years ago)

I've been playing around with the PHP-CLI a bit recently and thought I'd post a couple solutions to issues that I have come across:How can I prevent user input from being echoed back as it is being typed (e.g. for...

Truth 1, Neocons 0 18 May 2005 9:13 PM (19 years ago)

The past few seasons have been a bit rough for the home team due to the Neocons' enormous payroll and the fact that they own all the umpires. But occasionally the Truth is able to pull out a win, and...
