A Day in Paradise

What’s the Story? — By Aaron Wormus
Things might be a bit wonkey for the next few weeks as I consolidate all my sites onto my new dedicated. If somethings not working just wait a couple of days and it’ll come up again!

A picture is worth a thousand words

What’s the Story? — By Aaron Wormus
I decided to actually read what all those pesky blog spammers are saying about me. Here is the list (gathered before I did my daily blog spam deleting run).
Super site darlings. Thanks awfully
I just want you to know that I think you did a terrific job on this websight.
Perfect […]

“The Unix-Haters Handbook” WWW Page
The “Anti-Preface” by Dennis Richie is the best part! The tail end: Here is my metaphor: your book is a pudding stuffed with apposite observations, many well-conceived. Like excrement, it contains enough undigested nuggets of nutrition to sustain life for some. But it is not a tasty pie: it reeks too […]

CNN.com - Pentagon: Rumsfeld misspoke on Flight 93 crash - Dec 27, 2004
So Rumsfeld “misspoke” when he mentioned the “the people who … shot down the plane over Pennsylvania.”
His head should roll — not really in context, just a nice thought.
Update: A bit of googling and I dig up this interview where Rumsfeld […]

::ill Will Press:: NEUROTICALLY YOURS CARTOON: NO CHRISTMAS FOR YOU!
A very original Christmas rant. I enjoyed it, but if you object to a bit of explicit language or are easily offended, then you might not want to click!
Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards men!

Note: This was originally a comment on shiflett’s blog, but I’m reposting it here for my future reference.
In my recent article on string handling in International PHP Magazine, I had originally dedicated a whole section to the ctype library. However, the more I looked at it the less useful they became for anything more than […]

What’s with the Google’s “Holiday Doodle”???

Since the talk about google suggest has slowed down, it is a good time for a little link roundup.
The /. article which links to the authors blog entry.
A lot of people were amazed by Google suggest, the technolgy has been around for quite a while and has been implemented in the “live search” feature on […]

14.6. DNS %u2014 Domain Name System
I’ve gotten a new dedicated (yes it’s a noun) at Alturo! Now I need to figure out how this “Linux” thing works
Thankfully I have the green book. It is informative but very long… hopefully over christmas I can get all the bits and pieces up and running.

Someone should buy a couple hundred, and store them in the basement until nobody remembers what it was an alternative to!
I think this would look good in a set of frames

International PHP Magazine - Cutting-Edge Technologies for Web Professionals - Columns
Barnstormer #27 is up! Since I’ve got a lot of work these days I’m not always able to get it up on Monday, so the schedule has slipped somewhat, however I will continue to do one a week, and it will generally […]

Google News
A quick look at todays headlines… other than the revelations of more detainee abuse we had the revelation that Bernard Kerik used Ground Zero rescue crew flat as a love nest. So much for Bush’s intelligence gathering system! Of course, the intelligence system wasn’t the only thing that was broken, yesterday the […]

Crypto-Gram: February 15, 1999
An old ‘crypto-gram’ but VERY amusing and informational. Has some great examples of marketing nonsense:
The base of VME is a Virtual Matrix, a matrix of binary values which is infinity in size in theory and therefore have no redundant value. The data to be encrypted is compared to the data in the […]
