Anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of “My Sweet Lord’? http://urltea.com/2w0 #
Reading Sister Carrie. Dreiser is not as bad as I remembered. #
Looks like I’m heading uptown. Between meetings and random stuff, I think I’ve spent one day actually doing my job this week. #

Shift Happens

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Stumbled across this while looking for ways to drive home the need for keeping up with technology in the classroom. I remember seeing it go around about six months ago, too. About half of it could be cut, especially the gratuitous comparisons between the U.S. and China and India. In fact, if I use it, […]

Clearly, I need to read to read LiveJournal more. People come to town and I don’t even know about it. Completely missed R, almost missed B. #
Nowhere is the generation gap more evident than Higher Ed. How to you explain feeds to people who don’t get *email*? #
@Scott: You’d rather user support? #

Writer’s block

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Today I’m working on a presentation for our annual Technology Day on RSS (and other) feeds an aggregators. It’s surprisingly difficult to describe feeds in a way that makes them sound interesting, but not scary, and doesn’t insult the listeners intelligence. There is surprisingly little room between “I know four-year-olds who do this daily. No, […]

“use of unitialized value in sprintf” ranks right behind “license and registration, please” in my list of least favorite phrases ever. #

Read a little Chaucer, now on to Dreiser. bleh. #
Just spilled coffee on white pants. Ugh. #
Hah! Email from Sun about “upgrading” from Linux to Solaris. Wipe the drive and start over is a funny kind of upgrade. #
“inability to access the network due to a software license failure” means someone forgot to pay the […]

Why does lack of business potential for users make something bad?

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

This post by Kathy sierra is making the rounds today, trotting out the tired argument about how social networks are bad because they sap productivity. New target, same old song and dance. First, it’s not true. Many people feed off the manic energy, to a point at least.
More importantly, I just don’t get the […]

twittersleep: caching twitter while AFK

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Ok, last post about twitter for a while, but I thought I’d share.
One of the things I don’t like about twitter is logging on in the morning to find more tweets than my client will display. Going to twitter.com and hitting “next” a few times isn’t really any answer; it would take all morning at […]

Just installed twitter updater

Giving Victoria Chan’s Twitter Updater WP plugin a whirl. I’m not sure, yet, whether I like the idea or not.

I realized yesterday that a new apartment is as good a reason as any to learn Visio. So, pending co-op board approval , […]

Oh my darlin’ clementine

Flickr really needs to have an option to adjust the layout for individual posts at press time, but that’s neither here nor there. The real point of this post is this:
I have a problem. I picked up a five-pound crate of clementines to make the celementine cake. T and […]

twitter API needs work

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

I really do things other than think about twitter, really. But…
I’m working on a little script to automatically post tweets to my LiveJournal account. Yeah, I know, I know. But I never claimed to be cool or have much self respect. I also have a significant group of friends who LJ and nothing else. I […]

Safari + twitter badge = frustration

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Is anyone else have trouble with twitter badges and Safari? The one here always seems to say “undefined” in Safari, but it’s fine in firefox.

At last, an explanation of my insanity

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Those who know me will not be surprised:
…toxoplasmosis may alter people’s moods (women become more friendly; men become more paranoid), recent studies suggest that infection by the parasite may also cause people to become more prone to feeling guilty, develop schizophenia, have auto accidents, or be born male.

And where does one […]
