Spam Filter

It has been brought to my attention that several email messages intended for me never made it, thanks probably to the spam filter I installed last week or so. If you have sent me an email recently but have gotten no reply, please try again now.

Hash Buster

I was wondering about this. I thought at first that it was email coming from my esteemed pal Luke Mariner, but alas no.

Giant Robot! Help!

Jack London

As recalled by the anarchist almanac
The Daily Bleed:

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dryrot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time

- Jack London, sailor, tramp, gold miner, author, Born on this day in 1876

[On the other hand, London committed suicide at age 40 leading Ford
Maddox Ford to say, "Like Peter Pan, he never grew up, and he lived his
own stories with such intensity that he ended by believing them
himself."]

–As for myself, judging by my appartment, I am fated to dust. Too busy sitting on me ass making cartoons.

Yee Gads, what an ordeal.

Finally got the E-Card Short of in style launched, but it took hours to figure out why one of the php scripts wasn’t working properly. I double checked permissions, reloaded everything to make sure it was in ASCII formatting, diddled around changing pathnames, capitalization…

It came down to a missing brace — } — without which, the server couldn’t tell that a certain function was supposed to be over.

Oh well, at least it wasn’t a metric conversion error.

mi 6. ds

Mi. 6. DS will meet in GRU 150 this week, the lecture hall on the ground floor. I have to get a key for it from the Guy behind the Glass to get in, so don’t despair if the door is locked if you get there early.

Doctor whom?

Yay. The Doctor hath returned to BBC.co.uk. And this time he’s Flashified. A real treat for both Dr. Who fans and Flash freaks alike.
