Navy Nuke Waiver Denied

June 28, 2004

I did everything right. I scored a 91 out of 99 on my ASVAB and a 60 out of 80 (needed a 50) on my NPQT. My only fault was that I was 27 and the cutoff (thus the waiver) was 25. The verdict today from the committee reviewing my request was “Waiver Request Denied.”
That’s [...]

SurfControl Sucks

June 25, 2004

At work, we use SurfControl to filter email and block website. I’m not the guy who configures this stuff so I don’t know the intricacies.
But I was checking out Illinigirl yesterday when my phone rang. It was Larry, one of the network guys at our location who sits across from the guy who watches the [...]

Free itunes

June 24, 2004

Yes, the title is sure to be a google traffic attracter. How many people are googling for “free itunes”? ;)
At any rate, the contest is still open. Guess the amount of spam I receive in my primary inbox and be the closest one to it and get a $20 iTunes or Amazon gift certificate. Who [...]

mytop – mysql monitoring tool

June 24, 2004

I just discovered a great tool that Jeremy wrote some time ago. If you’re familiar with top in linux then mytop will not be out of reach. Essentially, it monitors your own MySQL processes. I can see this being useful for people who have forums or high intensity database driven sites with lots of traffic [...]

Jeremy Wright to Make Appearances

June 22, 2004

I’ve been plugging Jeremy C. Wright (not to be mistaken with Jeremy P. Wright, another blogger) quite a bit lately. He’s an old friend of mine and author of the popular Ensight.org and spearhead person for the new The Bloggist, which I have also promoted and linked to.
In some recent discussion, he has agreed to [...]

Never Discount Blog Traffic

June 22, 2004

Yesterday, I linked to Jeremy Zawodny, a guy I have respected for a long time, since my blogging days at Ensight. Naturally, when Technosailor got off the ground, I began reading him again.
Yesterday I posted about Perl going through some tough times and tracked back to an entry he made on his blog.
Today, I’m viewing [...]

Today They are Called Democrats

June 22, 2004

I often go perusing through the comments I get on this site to see who has visited and what sites they run, if any. I came across this guy recently. He made a post about today’s left that is very Limbaughesque, but I still agree with it.
