Sometimes us unix folk like to have a patchfile to upgrade our software (especially scripts) so I made one for upgrading my wordpress installation from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2. ~/my_wp_webroot $ patch -p1 < WordPress_2.0.1_to_2.0.2.patch

I’ve been writing PHP for a long time now. And one of the things that I see quite often is that people just dont get multidimensional arrays, and how to effectively store data in them for looping. Allow me to lead by example. $store['fruit']['apple']=3; $store['fruit']['orange']=1; $store['berries']['blueberries']=100; $store['berries']['strawberries']=100; $store['fruit']['mango']=5; foreach ( $store as $type => $val [...]
Eye-Fi — Frickin cool!

Freespire? worth thinking about. From what I’ve been told by people who’ve used it it’s a really nice OS. I wouldn’t run any servers with it, but I might give it a good try for an oldish desktop which could use a faster browser (I dont actually know if linspire browses faster than, say, XP, [...]
On Sunday I got (sort of) a day(ish) alone at home while My wife was visiting the central valley. So I dusted off my tried and true favorite alone-time movie: The Shawshank Redemption. I dont know whnat it is about this movie, but somehow I identify with it on a very deep and moving level. [...]

She isnt purring anymore, and she doesnt want to eat (or presumably drink) hopefully she’s feeling a little better tomorrow. We’re going to keep a close eyhe on her tonight and tomorrow, and keep her quarantined [...]
Whoa! Digital photographic fingerprints! Neat! Who’d have thought that the forces of entropy were *against* the idea of anonymnity Entropy 1, Privacy 0! I wonder how long it’ll take for them to adapt this to digital video as well. Theoretically you would also see a uniform variation even when the background image was changing. Like [...]
I thought the movie was VERY good. There were parts which were a bit too gory… but it was a horror movie. All in all it’s the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. I recommend it. What I dont recommend is going and seeing the movie with the 8 people who randomly [...]
It’s really amazing, when you stop to think about it. Try this little experiment: Go for a drive and spot all the traffic signs that you can find. First, notice how long after you looked at each sign it took for your brain to realize it was a traffic sign. I bet that each recognition [...]
