Should I be deeply saddened that the people most interested in my writing blog are @#@()* spammers? Listen, spammers. Give it up. Stop wasting my time. Stop wasting your time. I have comment notification turned on. I’m here to promote my writing career, not...

I’m turning off comments on older entries because spammers have found my site. May the fleas of a thousand buffalo infest their crotches! I’ll leave comments on for newer entries, but if you feel the need to follow up my ancient post about my television...

I rewrote the datediff function in the submission tracker and thought PHP geeks might enjoy it. I find it very sad that PHP does not have a built-in datediff function like ASP or Cold Fusion. /*The variable $date1 comes from the database, and is converted to unix...

The S.O. says that when he goes to the site in Safari, he gets TeH EV0L Netscape stylesheet, which is TeH SuX0rs with any browser except Netscrape. I have therefore gone back to my previous “Screw Netscape 4.x, for it is an aged piece of crap that must...

Download and install Microsoft.net framework. Install Slug, a client for Movable Type. Play with Naturally Speaking. Read Meet Me at Infinity. Take bath. Pet cats. Drink too much diet Coke. Put feet up. Maybe I should just take the night...

Several months ago, I got a cheap copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but then my computer died. I installed it today. In fact, I’m using it now. I thought it would be fun to use with Final Draft to write scripts, but it doesn’t really recognize my voice...
