Works with Tiger…
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve done a major overhaul of this site’s design… Though this site has looked very much the same for more than 2 years now, a lot has changed “under the hood”. I’ve converted it from a tables-based layout, to a transitional CSS layout, keeping the design mostly intact. I even got close to validation.

nooooooooo! I regularly VPN in to my work, and then use a Remote Desktop connection to connect to my actual Work PC… this works great, but it looks like not for long!

a positive review — i can’t wait to get my hands on my own copy
I’ve been on a high-protein diet for about 6 months, and I’ve dropped about 22 pounds since, and I feel much healthier, etc.

my airport express sucks… it cuts out all the time, so i may as well throw some more money at it…

Breaks out all CSS elements from any web page in visual form.

See how a CSS-built page is created, <div> by <div>
But, Nedward.org is long overdue for a visual update — so, I have taken a chance, and thrown my hat into both the May 1st Reboot and CSS Reboot. The design is ready to go, after almost a year of start-and-stop work… but, I have no idea if I can have it live by Friday morning. ::fingers crossed::
Are you redesigning?
*** May 1st Reboot suggests shutting down sites today, April 25th, to manufacture some dramatic effect… However, I’m not comfortable doing this, so I’ll keep this up, at least until I start uploading the new site.
I know a lot of you cats have “TiVo”:http://www.tivo.com/, but I thought I’d share my favorite method of downloading our favorite TV shows, _sans TiVo_…
“BitTorrent”:http://www.bittorrent.com/ is awesome, as everyone knows… but, I _hate_ having to continuously scan the tracker sites for the shows I want, and then, I _hate_ waiting for them to download. Wouldn’t it be great if you could tell your BitTorrent client what shows you want, and it would download them automatically?
Why, yes. That is the point of my post.
By using the java client “Azureus”:http://azureus.sourceforge.net/, in combination with its “RSS plugin”:http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_details.php?plugin=RSSImport, you can. I’ve been “using this”:http://nedward.org/archives/002778.php for a couple of months, and I couldn’t be happier… especially when travelling. When we flew to Buffalo last month, I quickly grabbed a couple episodes of the “Simpsons”:http://www.thesimpsons.com/ and “Viva La Bam”:http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/viva_la_bam/series.jhtml. Instant airport entertainment.

some interesting thoughts on Tiger’s major new feature

I’m starting to wonder about “Jason’s”:http://www.circa1973.net/bossanova/ sanity, but we broke the Lambrettas out of the basement last sunday. My P-200 is still put away, though, until I can figure out the electrics.

Apparently a portion of my $30 micropatron payment is for trips to Europe… ;-)

maybe this guy is like the rest of us? nah… he has people to do it for him.
Apologies for the site outage the past 12 hours… Here is the explanation provided by my hosting company, “site5.com”:http://site5.com:
bq. It appears that the permissions to your web directory were modified and no longer gave permission to apache to enter the directory. I’ve changed the permissions and your site is back up now.
I love how hosting companies insist that their servers have a 99.9999% uptime… but little f*ck-ups like this don’t count, since only my site was affected, and the server was “up”.
Time to email the billing department…
