The poop

| 3 Comments

So here's the poop: as of late, I ain't got much to say.

It's not that things aren't happening, they're just not very interesting things, or things I feel worthy of sharing, or things that someone else hasn't said. Anyway, here's some things:

Firebird 0.6.1 PC rocks. It's seriously awesome. Gone is the dropdown crash that made me cry, here are the new buttons that are smaller and more brightly colored. Seriously, this is the brower you should be using. Got questions? Fire away. I'm game.

Andy Gienapp is posting regularly. Again, I'd like to remind you that there are lot of things in life that we take for granted, one of them being that if we dial 911 someone will be there to help us. Read Andy's stuff. It's a sampling of the things he faces every day; it's a sampling of the things you take for granted.

Using ETags and Last-Modified dates in PHP for the purpose of aggregation is easy to do. However, what's not so easy is capturing a bunch of feeds at the same time because it causes your script to time out. I'm not wuite sure how to get around this yet. Ideas appreciated.

I refuse to believe that Jackie killed JFK. Obviously so does everyone else. That's why this guy hasn't received any rational replies. Also, I don't know where that video is from, but it's pretty graphic (wasn't the Zapruder black&white? Am I wrong or was it from the other side of the car?).

I have a theory: a team that gets blown out one night is too ashamed to let it happen again. Just go ask the Texas Rangers or Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Jerks.

My MT install is no longer pinging. I'm not sure if it's the slow response of weblogs.com or if it's because of something on the host. I hate the web.

It's the damn host...LOL.

Actually ping has been disabled for security reasons. So, error expected - proceed as normal Will Robinson.

Have you had any issues with the tabs? A friend reported that he loadedup his daily reading, opened the tabs up somemore from the daily reads, at about 25 tabs, crashed it

The pings I was talking about are xml-rpc, not regular pings, although that's a good thing to know.

As for the Firebird Tabs, I've had no problems. The newest release is nothing but super awesome (on a scale of one to great that is).
