Twitter Updates for 2008-03-03

It’s frustrating that you can’t run two applications from CS3 at the same time on a new Vista machine. What is it like 1992? # The stupid phone! I’m trying to actually get things done today. Stop it with all the 18th century tech!!! #

Twitter Updates for 2008-02-29

It seems my big plan to start Twittering on leap day was poorly planned. Five Fridays in February breaks Twitter.

Mod rewrites are evil

Mod-rewrites are evil. Not in the “I am your FAAATHER” sort of way, but in the ‘umm, what the hell am I doing?’ sorta way. Nobody understands this stuff. Just hope you get lucky and have a web technology integrator who knows what you are trying to do. However, if you dare to venture into […]
