Ran out of hard drive space so I ordered a hard drive from ProVantage ($265.58) (PATA version—$265.39).
Here is the rub, the external drive is actually $13 cheaper ($251.74), but I ordered the one above because I’m done with PATA. Same drive, same vendor. That’s fucked up.
Well if you have a spare port on your Airport [...]
I’m not blogging about politics because the wind changed direction—waiting finally beats getting worked up.
This sarcastic post from Balloon Juice though has a novel summary of what is going on with the Attorney General firings and how it occurred. This is just a fascinating piece of political good-on-paper-bad-in-practice maneuvering on the part of the Republican [...]
When did SXSW become the “It” conference? I remember when people in the Valley would say “I have to go to SXSW” followed by a sigh that reminded me of how I used to approach mowing the lawn.
First comes the music, then comes the money, then come the geeks? Or is this another excuse for [...]
In an e-mail recently someone used the phrase “fo’ shizzle.”
Now having worked at Plaxo I’ve heard the term and seen it used when we play Counterstrike and such, and it’s used on television more, but I never saw it written out. For some reason print or e-mail is different than chat or IM. I have [...]
In a discussion on the speed differences between various types of strings, I was completely misunderstood (or ignored).
Sad.
George told me his all-time favorite PHP talk of mine was the first one I gave: “OOPs: The PHP Fear and Loathing Guide to Basic Object-Oriented Design.” Perhaps one reason may be is this segment (click the image [...]
…of my 2008 budget.
“Depth of field” huh?
A Pentax medium format digital camera. 19 or 31 megapixel CCD sensor with 1.4x crop factor in 645 format (44mmx33mm). Basically that’s twice the image area of 35mm “full frame” or .7x “crop factor” 35mm equivalent. Just saying this just shows the total futility of thinking in crop factors. [...]
This CrunchGear announcing the Olympus E-510 is the height of moronitude.
Basically he doesn’t like this 4-3 10 megapixel wonder child because it cost $100 more than the E 410 sister camera with only one difference: image stabilization.
“Now, who’s willing to pay $100 more for image stabilization?”
Let us deconstruct shall we?
[First blush on the Olympus after [...]
Another month of Nexen.net’s excellent report on the state of PHP on the internet.
Very useful stuff for a PHP developer, especially in a hosted environment.
Thanks Damien. (more…)

I thought maybe Slashdot at +5 would start getting better now that everyone has migrated to digg.
“Actually, lots of people have abandoned PHP for Python and Ruby.”
Dan Ost
Nope.
(I guess this depends on your definition of the word “lots.”) (more…)
