I grew up with four sisters, with no brothers.

But around that time, I met someone who was a friend of a

Linksys Routers Use ASP!?!?

2005-06-05T03:55:00.000-04:00

It appears that Linksys - AKA: Cisco, Sysco, Sisqo - has possibly smoked enough crack cocaine to start using Active Server Pages for the CGI engine in their newer routers. I was under the impression that all of the source code for their products, well at least their routers, was some sort of GPL code running on a Linux-like chipset thing.

We have two weeks left and I'm beginning to believe (now more than ever) that this course wasn't planned very well.

Viva Las Vegas

2004-07-08T15:44:00.000-04:00

Las Vegas was great - very crowded - but great! There were people everywhere and for some reason, everyone was in a hurry. Although that may have been because it was 105° outside. And as they say, it was a dry heat - which is really really cool! I'll take 105° with zero humidity any day over 88° and 80% humidity. The trip out was great; we flew from Philadelphia (PHL) to Dulles (IAD) on

MicroSearch?

2004-07-01T16:02:00.000-04:00

Looks like Microsoft is really serious about getting into the search engine business. Honestly, I'm still surprised that they didn't just buy Google.

Harry Connick Jr. Concert

2004-06-29T21:06:00.000-04:00

Lastnight Beverly and I went to see Harry Connick Jr. in concert at the Mann Center in Philadelphia. It was quite possibly the best concert I've ever been to! Harry did an exceptional job on vocals and piano, while his "Big Band" supported him perfectly. Harry's on-stage humor was also great - making fun of his "mega-star" status, the groin-less female chief-of-staff and comparing playing the

The Philadelphia Mann Center & Bravo Grill

2004-06-29T20:53:00.000-04:00

Philadelphia's Mann Center: Concert = Yes / Food = No! (or at least Bravo Grill = No!) We decided to eat at the Bravo Grill, what a big mistake. According to the Mann's website: Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and new dining options at our remodeled Bravo Grill restaurant, where meat, poultry, and seafood are now served sizzling hot from the grill. Complements include seasonal vegetables and a

Whether the Weather will be Free

2004-06-28T13:54:00.000-04:00

Directly from Slashdot: "The National Weather Service wants to update a 1991 policy that limits what data it can put on the Internet. The proposed new policy makes putting free data on the Internet official. The Private Weather Sector wants NWS to provide its new digital forecasts only in specialized data formats and would like NWS to shut down new XML data feeds. Barry Myers (MS Word doc),

When I was younger I never liked raw tomatoes - now I can't get enough of them. Oddly enough, the same with cucumbers... Is it me or do airplanes just fly much lower after 9.11? I know this is probably because we take more notice to their whereabouts, but I honestly have no memory of low-flying airplanes. My MCSA/MCSE class is almost over. I find it funny that out of the three people who I

You Never Call...

2004-06-19T16:57:00.000-04:00

I hate these people. You run into someone you haven't spoke to in ages and the first thing they say is something along the lines of "You never call". Shut the fuck up! Yes, I didn't call you, but you didn't call me either and you don't hear me bitching about it! Instead of this horseshit trying to make me feel guilty because I didn't call you, just own up to the fact that both our lives are

Snailmail Junk Mail > Email SPAM

2004-06-13T13:14:00.000-04:00

For approximately the last two years, everyone and their great-grandmother have been in an uproar about the amount of SPAM they receive in their inboxes. Have we all forgotten about the tons of junk mail (aka non-electronic SPAM) we receive in our USPS mail boxes??? Well I haven't! After shredding and ripping apart approximately 20 mortgage, credit card, and auto loan offers today, I've

Do we know to much for our own good?

2004-06-09T22:31:00.000-04:00

Yesterday a friend and I were having a conversation about the lack of motivation that we were both experiencing in our personal life. After spending a few minutes discussing everything that we wanted to do (but didn't) and making jokes at our own expense, we realized the possible problem: Do we know to much for our own good? Let me explain, for the last four or five months we have been

USA 3000

Almost all airlines could stand to learn a few things from USA 3000, a relatively young airline owned by Apple Vacations. Let me list some of the highlights of my flight: Very Inexpensive TicketsWhile I did pay $129 each way from PHL to TPA, they were purchased less then two days from the flight date.

Directly from Slashdot: "The New York Times reports on Google's success and desire in hiring Ph.D.'s (free registration required). It says that Google's willingness to let every employee spend 20% of his or her time on an independent project is a compelling motivator and that they estimate that Google has as many Ph.D.'s working for it as Microsoft, which is 30 times larger. How many other

Jodohost - My New Hosting Provider

2004-06-06T16:59:00.001-04:00

I guess it's that time again... For the last year or so I've been using two hosting providers, Flairhosting for web hosting (ASP, .NET and SQL) and Ipaska for email hosting (Sendmail). While they've both provided great service during this time, I recently decided that it was time to consolidate all of my Internet related items - web, email, dns, etc - with the only exception being my domain
