It was a pain getting the PowerBook G4’s AirPort Extreme card, which I installed last night, to connect to my wireless network, powered by a new Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router. But I finally got it to work. Here’s what […]

Remembrance

Thursday, September 11th, 2003 · 1 Comment

My wife and I enjoyed espresso together this morning before she headed out to work. We kissed and she left for the bus. It was really a perfect moment. As Jen said not too long ago, “We should be making perfect moments all the time.” How true that is. Life is too short and we […]

Live from G4

Wednesday, September 10th, 2003 · 2 Comments

The LinkSys WRT54G wireless router I ordered from Amazon also arrived today. And so far, that’s where the only problem lies. The router itself works great — got the desktop PC […]

Gabe #1

Wednesday, September 10th, 2003 · Comments Off on Gabe #1

In December 2002 I began to pay attention to where in Google’s search results my site was showing up. The last major overhaul of my site was in that month, so I think that’s when I began to take an interest in this. At the time, a Google search for Gabe yielded about 68,800 pages. […]

Imagine it: You wake up in the morning and you want to know what the weather is like. What do you do? Go to the window? Take a step out the front door? Turn on the radio or the Weather Channel? Nah. Too much work. Just look at the magical egg on your nightstand. Ditto […]

Progress?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2003 · Comments Off on Progress?

From the September 2003 Harper’s Index: “Maximum number of miles per gallon in Ford’s most fuel efficient 2003 car: 36 Maximum number of miles per gallon in Ford’s first Model T: 35” The first Model T was built in 1908. Here we are in 2003 — nearly 100 years later — and we’re only getting […]

My New Home

Tuesday, September 9th, 2003 · 1 Comment

“The homepage is dead, long live the Blog!” –Jordan Reed My site’s primary index template (index.php) now contains the following code (thanks, Ben, for pointing me to the PHP header redirect after realizing that a modification of my .htaccess file would not work for this tweak, due to site content leveraging the /index.php?id=XX format): <?php […]
