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 [...]

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 [...]

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

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 [...]
