Gas Price Fixing, and did you know we belong to OPEC?

Timothy Noah writes: To put it in terms that supporters of the three Bush tax cuts can understand: Poor planning for the postwar occupation of Iraq is costing you money at the gas pump.

sex? huh?

I just found this article on Ananova: We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate. Basically, this German couple went to a fertility clinic where the doctors discovered that [...]

Text editors on Mac OS X

The Coding Monkeys (aka Martin, Martin, und Dominik) just released SubEthaEdit 2.0. SubEthaEdit is a snazzy text editor for Mac OS X that supports collaborative text editing over Apple’s zeroconfig networking protocol (Rendezvous).
2.0 seems like it has some very cool new features (like autocompletion). I’m going to have to snag a copy and [...]

Another Life

I just had the weirdest feeling. I saw a picture on Bruce Sterling’s weblog that looked eerily familiar to me. It took me a few minutes to figure out what it was, where I had seen it, when that was, and who I was with.
I am nowhere near where I thought things would [...]

XCode

Why on earth doesn’t Apple dedicate a person for a month to documenting the facilities built into XCode for creating new editor types? Jeez, this really irritates me to no end.
There is tons of documentation surrounding this for Visual Studio. Admittedly, it is challenging to learn how the entire VS integration process works, [...]

the joys of template editing

I’m still working on configuring the look and feel of my MT3 blog. This is phenomenally slow, tedious work. On the plus side of things, it seems to be progressing in the direction of overall goodness. I hate blogging about blogs, so hopefully this will be the last time I bring myself to do this.

goddamn you to hell, MT!

MT 2.6 blew up on me after I did something kind of dumb. Basically, it’s not that graceful at recovering from errors. This seemed like as good a time as any to upgrade to MT3, though, so here we are. Let’s hope we can avoid comment spam this time around. Back-posting of old posts to [...]
