I Guess This Year I was Nice

December 27, 2006

Happy post-Christmas, ‘tween-holiday greetings. I’ll be honest when I say the holidays have totally thrown my kilter off. I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already and I have to get a podcast up for tomorrow on Suicide Fan. Don’t know whether to tell you not to hold your breath or expect it on Friday. We’ll see.

If Mark Twain Thinks that the Coldest Winter Ever is a Summer in San Francisco, what Will a San Francisco January Be Like?

December 22, 2006

I’m into quoting Mark Twain. Brian taught me how.
Dates are not set in stone yet and the purpose of the trip is forthcoming, but it’s looking like I’ll be in the Bay Area in January. Call it early January. I remember having to buy a jacket in August when I went. I can’t imagine how [...]

When MySQL Bugs Bite

December 20, 2006

Being the Technology Architect for a startup is a dangerous job. Deadly dangerous. It involves sleepless nights and extra-careful sensory skills to navigate the landmines laid in marriages. Often times, instead of watching Lost or re-runs of The Wire with my wife, I find myself solving technical problems and ensuring the technical side of enterprise [...]

You Thought You Knew Me, but You Didn’t

December 18, 2006

Brian Clark tagged me. Therefore. I. Must. Participate. In. Lemming. Like. Behavior.
So here goes.

I have an uncanny ability to attract gay homeless men in New York.
I tell people I work from home for an internet media company. In reality, I sit around eating rumballs and peanuts all day reading a series of boobs.

Server Wonkiness

December 18, 2006

No, it’s not just you. We have a lot of server stuff happening on the b5 cluster right now. We lost one of our main servers to a hardware malfunction so the other two are valiantly trying to keep up with the increased load. Unfortunately, they aren’t doing too well. In the long term, we [...]

Suicide Fan Soft Launch

December 12, 2006

A soft launch is when sites are setup and linked, and no attempt is made to hide the unlaunched site but yet an announcement setting the new site up for public visitation is not made. So technically, this is not a soft launch. However, it is not in it’s glory yet either.
I just want to [...]
