If you're trying to do pages the 'right' way (like my bio), you'll know what a pain in the butt it is. Such a pain, I'm giving up. I'll learn as I go (from articles like this at glassdog) but for now I'm going to forge ahead. I'll update everything to be ccs-based and html4 compliant later.

Several people have complained about my bio being unreadable because the type is too small. Sorry. That happens with Netscape 4 or the Mac. I'm working on improving it, but for now, use Netscape 6 (or Mozilla) or IE4.x or IE5 (especially on the Mac).

For all you geeks out there interested in web server configuration, here's a cute page from apache.org. Notice the backoffice logo at the bottom of the page. Obviously, this was the result of a hack. full story in apache week.

the booge has it all. upside-down cats, blog content that isn't the typical netculture or web-comedy links, and nice design (credited to kellea, but it's not one of the linkware pages. did someone pay for their blog design? totally wild). I also looked at the kellea page again and found they have an excellent links page if you're looking for graphics.

ILOVEYOU! Oh, did you just follow that link? ooops, sorry. It was blogger capable virus. ;-)

Are bloggers underappreciated visionaries providing a much-needed service, or are they navel-gazers who are best left alone? Both? Neither?

Oh! I was wrong. It just took 3 hours for it to reach me. Not too shabby. Anyway, if you'd like to see the coolest 'Coming Soon' placeholder you'll ever see, check thompaul.org out. (fyi, thom is my brother)

Well, bummer, it looks like a missed the deadline for new virtual servers at the soon to be hosting provider of our family domain. So no fun 'Coming Soon' message tonight. Perhaps Brent's frogger will hold you over.

Oh shoot! Between evaluating new tape backup software at work and playing with graphics for the new domain at home, I totally forgot to blog about the weekend. Sunday afternoon was blast. It was Kevin's big 6th birthday party. For me, I have to say the highlight was the hula hoops. Seeing the dopey adults trying to do something they couldn't even do as kids (ahem...I guess I'm talking about me) was hysterical.

Homer says good web site. Adobe has some fun online resources for art, type, etc.

Oh yeah. Legos, linux and a programmer. Put those things together and you get an i8-ball (requires netscape 4.x for Windows;IE 4.x or later for the Mac)

I wrote a bio while I was chatting with Brent. Touched up the formatting a bit and published it this afternoon. At 1:30am as I wrote it, the line about my dad really resonated. This morning it sounds a bit corny. More than a bit. hmmm.

Well, Brent blogs at 4:30am. Cool.

What's the deal with blogs? Are any of them ugly? Are they somehow inherently beautiful? Is mine ugly and I don't know it? Who the hell blogs at 4:30am or even 1:30am? I'll be 32 this year.
