The Road South
I took this photo a few days ago, and liked it enough to share. It was taken on Coronado Heights, looking towards the south.

MT-Blacklist: Don’t Blog Without It!*
Looking back I find that I first installed the MT-Blacklist plugin about a year ago. Since then the amount of comment and trackback spam has done nothing but increase, seemingly with no end! I really noticed this after a period of not using MT-Blacklist; every day there were more and more spams to be deleted, … Read more
Winter Wonderland
Though the first snow of the season doesn’t usually last long (and if fact, last night’s snow should be mostly gone by sundown), it sure is beautiful in the bright morning sunlight. Here’s a selection of shots from around our house this morning:
Like Stepping Off a Cliff

It works on just about any computer, including PCs, Linux and the Mac. One measure of the maturity of Firefox is that I use it on a corporate intranet where … Read more
Mac Migration
The G5 Powermac was introduced a couple of months before I bought my first ever Apple computer, a G4 Powerbook. I knew at the time that the G5 offered much greater performance, but the need for portability indicated that the Powerbook was a much better choice for me. In addition, I have a strong aversion … Read more
Site Updated to Latest Movable Type
I updated the site to the latest version of MovableType, largely to better fight comment spam by using the MT-Blacklist plugin. The upgrade went well as did the installation of MT-Blacklist. I’ve missed this program lately, as the level of comment (and occasional trackback) spam has been steadily rising and I hadn’t installed version 2 … Read more
404: Country Not Found
Another fine example of a 404: Page not Found spoof. Thanks to allaboutgeorge.com.
