  • Notes from the week

    Eeek! I’ve been away for over a week (rhyme not intended). Here are some of the things I’ve been up to since I’ve been gone: * On Sunday, three years to the day of the launch of Moorelies.com, I re-launched by TV/Video/DVD blog, Network Landscape. Check it out, and if you’re interested in covering online…

  • Refresh nearly complete…

    If you visit jasonclarke.org via the old-fashioned web browser rather than through RSS, you have probably noticed a slight change in the design of the site. In fact, I think it’s a pretty signifigant upgrade, even if the site’s general structure is the same. Besides a complete re-write under the hood, the site is hopefully…

  • Not gone, far from it

    It’s been a long, stressful, and largely unhealthy holiday season for me and my fam, such that this blog has been the least of my concerns in this end-of-year shuffle. That said, I do have every energy and intention of writing here, and other places, in 2006. I’m not gone, and I’m not going away-…

  • More on Christmas

    Our tree is up (photos soon UPDATE: Photos here), yet with a two-year-old and a cat in the house, we’re not sure how long it will remain standing- it’s already been subject to some rambunctious shaking and jumping in just two days. We also added some more lights to the outside of the house (see…

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    Xmas lights at night, originally uploaded by jgclarke. A shot of our house on Thanksgiving eve, also the first snow of the year. We’ll have more lights to come this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, wherever you are.

  • Updated my RSS feed

    I’ve got a new address for my RSS feed: jasonclarke.org RSS (http://feeds.feedburner.com/JasonClarke) Please grab this updated feed address if you subscribe to my feed.

  • Yes, it’s true…

    Now that I’m not using post titles all the time, I need to add a permanent link icon to each post. Working on that now… UPDATE: I added a bolded link labeled…wait for it…”LINK” at the footer of each post. That way, the world still gets a permalink if I don’t title a post.

  • Help with a bit of easy SQL!

    Hey, prepare for a bleg: I’m looking for an SQL pro to give me a hand with a bit of a tricky sql statement. An Amazon.com gift certificate for $10 (I know, big bucks!) goes to whoever can successfully help me with this issue. Here’s the deal: I’ve got 3 tables in my database- users,…

  • 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…
