Goodbye, Fullerton.
Well, in a little. We’re not all packed into the truck yet.

Hey Matthew (do you even still read this?)
This is what you should be doing with yourself.

Font Sampler

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

There are times I really enjoy open source.
Last night, I was helping do this little business card thing, and one step was picking a font. Well, first I had to nab some fonts, since I periodically purge all that crap. One of these days, I need to get around to figuring out what to do […]

Square, Like Its People

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

I was just fidgeting with my Swiss Army Knife (man, MacGuyver must’ve sold so manay units for them), and something I’ve always wondered came up again. What’s that little notch on the bottle opener/screwdriver?

Puzzle Pirates

I know it’s a pointless question. Yes, they work, at least to some extent, or people wouldn’t do them.

The Jabbering Pain

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

Warning: A bunch of this ranting is based on admittedly out-of-date information and experiences. I tend to frown on these sorts of things since I’m essentially going “this all sucked a year ago, so it presumably sucks now.” In this case, though, since I basically got stymied before I could get to a lot of […]

Python Musings

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005

All the cool kids are into python, so it’s been on my list for a while. I bought the O’Reilly book a while back, and started thumbing through it, only to be side tracked. (By school? Holy crap. It’s been a little over a year since I actually actively started trying to spend time learning […]
