All of my email addresses (jeremy@_______) have been restored. No thanks to my host or GoDaddy.

Well, I’ve finally got my first site moved to Slicehost - this one. For the first time I’m running my own server and configuring it from scratch. I’m trying to walk a middle ground between following tutorials in a rote manner and doing my own thang. I would only recommend this host [...]

Welp, in a terribly short time (February is already over, jeez) I’ll have been a Mac user for one month. I feel by now I can pass some sort of judgment on this Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz machine. However, it’s entirely from the P.O.V. of a guy who uses his [...]

Last night the furnace broke (for the second time). It was 17 degrees outside, so it got cold in the house. I didn’t want to leave Tela at home today while we’re waiting for the landlord to fix it, so I brought her to work. Of course, she was quite a star, [...]
