Since it’s damn near impossible to find online the simplest way to scan a Unix directory of files, search for one text pattern, and replace with another, I am now archiving the simplest method I could find (which I’ve tested and have proven that it works beautifully). Simply cd to the directory where your files […]

Cherokee Hair Tampons

Last night Jen and I hit Naan ‘n Curry on Irving with Shannon, Jeff, and some other folks, then later met up with Enoch and company at the Blackthorn Tavern to get down with the Ho’Down Quartet. It was the first I’d been to the tavern and the first I’d seen the band (which was […]

“Another, ‘Nother, ‘Nother Last Chance”
Wednesday, February 19th, 2003 · Comments Off on “Another, ‘Nother, ‘Nother Last Chance”
In his latest dimwitted comments, Bush said: First of all, you know, size of protests — it’s like deciding, `Well, I’m going to decide policy based upon a focus group.’ The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon, in this case, the security of the people. Translation: I don’t give a shit […]

MT Blog on Google & Blogger
Tuesday, February 18th, 2003 · 1 Comment
I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking, “Is MT next?” following the Google purchase of Blogger. Sure enough, MT developer Mena Trott had this to say: Six Log: Google, Pyra and Weblogs I wonder if she wants her software to be acquired by Google or if that would even make sense for either company.

The People Have Spoken
Tuesday, February 18th, 2003 · Comments Off on The People Have Spoken
A good NY Times editorial questioning whether the Bush administration will finally listen to the people: A New Power in the Streets It also mentions the plagiarized security report. This was news to me. I find it absolutely absurd, ridiculous, and all the while hilarious that pieces of such an important document (United Nations Security […]

Google Acquires Pyra Labs’ Blogger
Tuesday, February 18th, 2003 · Comments Off on Google Acquires Pyra Labs’ Blogger
Google‘s announcement over the weekend to acquire Blogger is big and exciting news in the world of blogging. I think it’s a good thing and will look forward to what’s to come. Perhaps the next step is an MT acquisition — or deeper integration? I’m sure that MT’s user base is smaller than Blogger’s simply […]

San Francisco Anti-War Protest II
Monday, February 17th, 2003 · Comments Off on San Francisco Anti-War Protest II
Yesterday Jen and I met up with Shannon at Civic Center plaza in front of City Hall for the latest protest against the war. Although we didn’t participate in the march as we did last time, it was still a great feeling to be out there doing something against the war effort. This one definitely […]
