S.W.A.
Snacks with attitude: Wasabi Peas, bitches. Slowly chew a handful while exhaling through your nose. You’ll temporarily forget you’re still at work.
Holy Tagmaster, Batman!
How long has it been since I’ve written CSS? Quite the stroll down memory lane today as I prettified some XSL transformed XML reports. Relatedly, I’d forgotten just how short browser implementation has come on the promise of serving XML and letting the client render things prettily. I’m all for stopping XSS attacks but good…
Current mood: Testy
And too unfocused to properly unload on the irritants. Which compounds the surly. This is the story of my day.
Coming To America
Listening to various BBC podcasts brought this to my attention a while back and I’ve been following the phone hacking scandal since. Looks like News International might be better named Scandal International. Murdoch is hiding one of his Sith Lords at The Wall Street Journal. Joy!
Late night build support…

In which our humble narrator lays out an ambitious web portal plan under the guise of a paltry review of PandoraJam.

2NP6 Coffeenomics
Historically: Three coffee pots, two regular and one decaf = one half-filled decaf, one empty regular pot sitting on a burner that is on and one nearly empty regular pot This week: Two coffee pots, one regular and one decaf = one half-filled decaf and one regular with barely enough coffee to cover the bottom…
Most Convincing Spam Yet
In the past I’ve often remarked that spammers must be stupid because they generally commit some silly, obvious error when forging an email. That all changed today… This morning I received an email, ostensibly from Amazon, advertising Erotic Monday specials. I’m a pretty laissez-faire kind of guy but this seemed a bit over the top…
