It’s Father’s Day 2008. Happy Father’s Day to all of you out there who are dads.
For me, it’s a time to reflect. I love my kids dearly, but I don’t think I’m a great dad. I hope to change that someday. I think a lot of it needs to change with my health, which I am addressing very soon.
Maybe I’ll get better then.
I really can’t believe this hasn’t been pointed out before… so I guess I’ll do the dirty work and try to fan the flames of rumor.
This started when I read Paul Thurrott’s latest blog post, with which I could not agree more.
Then, I decided it’s time to blog about this and see if anyone had noticed:
Why can’t building codes be updated to withstand tornado hits a little bit better? At least update the code in tornado-prone areas and force an underground shelter to be part of the home…?
All the talk I hear is, “they need warning, they need enough warning.” What good is a warning if there isn’t adequate shelter?
Today, our Blackberry reps came to visit for the quarterly meeting with our project. It’s always fun when these folks visit; they’re quite personable and wow, do they like to eat.
This time they brought along a fellow by the name of Jim from Boxtone. Boxtone is a monitoring system for RIM’s flagship product and it seems pretty interesting.
What was more interesting was the fact that his Vista laptop absolutely, positively would not get on the guest wireless. It would connect with a proper signal strength of 5 bars, but it would not get an address from the local DHCP server.
I’ve been pretty busy the past month, you could say. I’ve actually been pulling back on the overtime at the day job to concentrate a little bit on getting some of these podcasts out the door. The end result is the first three episodes of NO CARRIER which, despite being quite dry, aren’t half bad for newbs. I’m using NO CARRIER to learn as much as I can about the actual production of the shows on this Mac Pro and for that it has been invaluable. I’m also curious as to how I can get a larger draw. While I’m not confident that NO CARRIER’s content is like A-list material so far, it’s decent enough to listen to. So I’m gauging the interest and seeing how well it does as far as the business side of things go.
Three words: Consistent and fun.
The historical “situation” he gets wrapped up in is pretty funny this time around.
Good film, lots of fun. Don’t expect enlightenment, but expect fun.
WWDC 2008 is sold out. WWDC is sold out for the first time in history.
Guess who hadn’t gotten his ticket?

Setup Entourage 2004 to connect to Exchange 2007 – Robbas Weblog]1
After reading this blog article and knowing that Entourage 2004 and Evolution both use webdav to talk to Exchange, I’m wondering if this information would resolve Evolution connectivity into Exchange 2007.  Those of you coming to this blog and seeking that info could give it a try, then comment below if it works.  Thanks 🙂
#477454 – Insulting source code – Debian Bug report logs
…ran across this bug filing in my morning travels. What a scream. I love it when nerds get personal and start using source code to do battle. That’s one of my favorite parts of Linux – just think of all the copies of Debian floating around out there that contains source code like this (Warning: salty, sailor-esque language, as if readers of this blog haven’t run across it before):
plasma and the screensaver « ChaniBlog
So, while trolling the feeds and coming across Chani’s post about this screensaver… and what amounts to one of the stranger use cases I’ve seen in a while… there’s this discussion about some plans to integrate plasma widgets into kdescreensaver and whatnot. Yeah, she has a use case to justify this sort of functionality and it’s a little odd. All I have to say is that if I had friends who took it upon themselves to diddle with my laptop while I was away, I’m afraid homicide would be in order.
