5 things…

team firefox at the rock fest
firefox car @ mozilla24 – nobihaya In conjunction with Mozilla 24, our Japanese peeps pulled out a nifty Firefox-themed car as part of the Firefox Rock Festival there. Gen mentions that after Mozilla 24, the car will head to Nagoya to be entered in the largest custom car comp in Japan. Kaori’s got some more […]
urk.
I was feeling good about the day until I checked out Moggy’s latest post about the “new and improved” nerd test. At least the dorkiness is consistent, but I think the Internet vs. Sex question tipped the scales. That said, my favourite fun fact was: 36.0% of all test takers would choose the Internet over […]
sat morning treat
I’ve been pretty good, so this morning decided to treat myself to some blueberry-walnut pancakes. They’re still pretty good for me, and they were very, very tasty. The recipe is from this month’s Runner’s World, but isn’t on the site yet. Here it be: 1-1/2 cups whole milk 1 cup instant oats 3/4 cup sifted […]

“internet people”
so… how many of these internet people do you recognize? I was kind of appalled at how many I did.
dspam 3.8.0 as content filter with postfix breaks quarantine re-training
Ugh. No matter how much I try and cover all the bases, some little thing always turns what should be a 2-3 hour transition period into a 12 hour ordeal. Everything went pretty smoothly until final testing on re-training false positives with dspam. I had tested it with the existing quarantine, which was created under […]
not-quite-ghetto light box
Here’s a great idea for e-bay and other lightbox photography: use that cooler sitting in the basement or garage as your light box/tent. Of course, said cooler should be dirt/mold free, or the results won’t be as good as they could be. The link goes to Strobist, which is one of the coolest photography blogs […]
