Got it, maybe
Let's see how that is. Sorting by modification date on each file... Yeah I think I like this. I will be a little limited in titles for entries but that's fine. The only real issue with this I can think of is that it's very sensitive to any changes - if I correct a spelling mistake or something it will show up at the top of the list.8-19
If you use gmail, you need to turn on "Always use https". A tool is being released soon that will allow malicious individuals to harvest gmail session IDs, which could lead easily to a third party having access to your entire email account.Go to gmail Settings (upper right corner), scroll to the bottom and check "Always use https". Here are a few songs I created awhile back. There is a flash player on the main page for the domain linked to below but it doesn't work, so I suggest downloading and listening in Winamp or iTunes or whatever if you're interested. Name Size

I am struggling with a detail of how the blog is organized currently. I like the plain HTML files powering everything, what I don't like is that you can't really tell today's entry was written in three sessions. I've been playing with different ways to pull them apart and I'm not really liking anything. It might be best if I create a seperate entry file for each item - but then I'm worried the sorting might be off. I'll try a few things.

flip is pretty cool Here is an interesting sun/moon rise/set calender generator. This is weird for me. They're... mocking classic commercials... but it is a classic commercial... Awesome: The Day There Was no NewsI think I've got a bit of a plan on how to run the site now. Really simple, static files still, but with just a touch of automation. Added Disqus commenting - hit the comment link at the bottom of any post to chime in. 10:56 PM Listed a couple things on ebay, I just don't have a use for them anymore. They are both excellent machines: Samsung Q1 Ultra Q1U-XP 60 GB HDD, XP Tablet Edition

Finding today to be rather dull. Going to Tropic Thunder later. Feel strange admitting that, but it does look entertaining. Not really sure why I seem to like the idea of keeping a blog again, maybe it is simply that I miss having a chance to more regularly write. On that note, I have made some progress on my novel's outline. We'll see how that goes. Here are a few random things I intend to buy.- Jesus Incident (Paperback) Looks interesting.
- Cheddar Cheese Powder, 1 lb. Exactly the stuff that is in mac & cheese packages, from what I can tell.
- McSweeney's Subscription
Beginning with Issue 29 Seems like something I'd already have. - Enduring Love (Widescreen Edition) (2004) Really good movie.
- Adesso 2.4 GHZ WIRELESS SLIMTOUCH TOUCHPAD MINI KEYBOARD SILVER W/BLACK KEYS Because I've gotten so used to having a touch pad right below the keyboard on my laptop, I now miss it on my desktop, manifest by me sometimes actually reaching down below the keyboard for a brief moment before realizing there's no touch pad to touch. Sadly I have just realized that this is probably a bad idea - that's the same range as wifi, and the 2.5 GHz phone I had forced me offline all the time. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad though, and I'd likely only use it in my office where I do not use the wifi anyway (ping times are much better on my laptop with the wire, and since the router is right there, well, there you go).
- Secure a new contract - need some income.
- Finish setting up company finances.
- Work with N. on getting him up to speed with some development.
- Release a new StoneNotes build (though we've just had one I want to get a few more things in pretty soon - shortcuts and tags).
