  • Network Landscape, version 3

    Over last weekend, I spent a good amount of time updating Network Landscape, the TV/DVD/movies weblog I publish. Besides a fresh design, the site got a new RSS feed, enhanced “quick news” section, leaner code, an update to its underlying blog software, and some other tweaks. Over the next few weeks, the site will be…

  • Various housekeeeping notes

    In keeping with my recent rail against Technorati, I just updated the part of this site that automatically linked Technorati search results from the post (it was right over to the left there, under “Comments”). Now, I’m linking you to results from Icerocket, a search engine. It’s just a trial, so let me know your…

  • New project added!

    I recently built a free website for my friend and neighbor Andrew Clifford, an excellent musician, producer, and drum instructor.

  • ARGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

    I accidentally deleted every comment ever made to this blog. No, seriously, I am a bad person and an idiot. So please, let this serve as official notice that I am not a censorship-loving opressor- I’m just a dolt. The worst part? Now when I brag at parties that Mark Glaser commented here, I have…

I have no plans to abandon this…

  • Status update

    I’m busy working at my new job.

  • Rambling thoughts on my stats

    In looking at my stats, it appears that I’m getting a huge amount of my traffic from search engines. So…does this mean that my site is either: * Excellently positioned to gain reasonable-to-high rankings on a wide variety of keywords, or… * Valuless, in that visitors from search engines are only interested in one thing…

  • The obligatory “please hire me” post won’t come for a few more weeks

    Oh yes, so last Friday was my final day at the job I’ve held for the past two years. I am currently unemployed! It feels good, and only a bit scary. Thanks to my former employers for two years of often enjoyable, occasionally hectic experiences. I am happy to be drifting along, however long or…

  • Just checking

    Everybody knows that I re-launched this site without finishing it, right? That it’s got tons and tons of bugs and kinks that need to be worked out? Okay, just checking.
