WinAce, Annabel Lee, and hypocrisy. (2003/05/27)
This entry is sort of an expansion on this thread over at ChristianForums, but also a bit of thinking about some other issues that came up one day. The thread it was based on was lost in the Great Crash of 2003; sorry. [read more...]
Thoughts on being an honorary Catholic. (2003/05/26)
When I first started hanging out at ChristianForums, I made a few friends fairly early on. One day, they informed me that they’d declared me an honorary Catholic. [read more...]
Hey, Scooter! (2003/05/26)
So, I’ve looked through the logs to see who visits this site, and I’ve found something interesting. [read more...]
New Cranky User pieces online! (2003/05/26)
Some readers may be aware that I have a regular column over at IBM developerWorks. What you may not know is that IBM’s exceptionally author-friendly policies mean I’m allowed to maintain local copies of articles, once they’ve been up for a month! So, for instance, I now have the first TWENTY SEVEN columns up. That’s right! TWENTY SEVEN of them. #28 is formatted, but they have exclusive rights for another week or so. #29 has been edited, and should be showing up around June 1st on the IBM site. [read more...]
There is hope. (2003/05/25)
So, when we were coming home from lunch, the car that pulled off the freeway in front of us was emitting smoke from the tailpipe, and stalled, and put on his hazard lights. So, we stopped to help out - lent him a cell phone, helped push his car over. [read more...]

Name My Blog! (2003/05/24)
I’m no good at names (just ask any of the players in my D&D games). So, I don’t know what to call my blog… So you guys can name it for me. Post comments. If I like a name proposal, I’ll change the site’s name to that. [read more...]
Poor kitty! (2003/05/24)

Yay for software... (2003/05/24)
So, I decided to try movabletype. I mostly like it, except for the way it specifies sizes that don’t work with the huge fonts I love to use. See, I’m a sucker for high resolution displays - and thus, for huge fonts. So, most of the time, when I’m browsing the web, I don’t see ANY fonts under 18 points - I set that as a minimum font size in Mozilla. Unfortunately, MovableType seems to have specified a few things in pixels, so I’ll have to go fix those eventually. Eventually. For now, I’m just happy, not just to have a blog, but to have gotten my first comment! :) [read more...]
Two more pictures up on the store... (2003/05/24)
