Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.

using AJAX to spiff up a gallery
Lightbox is nice and all, but sometimes I find it clunky, particularly in Firefox when I have a lot of other tabs open. However, I don't want to go the route of having an image load by itself in the browser, because it would be so much nicer to have it integrated into my [...]

how to reformat your pen drive
USB pen drives are everywhere these days, and for good reason, since they’re dead useful. I use mine with my Linux box, my Powerbook, and various other systems I’ve had cause to stick it in. After a while, my 1 GB drive was only holding a few hundred MB. When I would [...]
too little time for programming
I tell you, I just don’t have enough time to do everything I want to, which is a very common lament, I’m sure. I’ve been working on this project called Moola Tracker for my own use, and Todd’s as well, with these specs:
Easily add expenses and income, noting the location I spent money or [...]
the ease of Linux with a focus on Ubuntu
3till7.net had some excitement yesterday because a post from 2005 got Dugg, and is also garnering a lot of hits from StumbleUpon. I find this funny because it’s such an old post but also because the content is just an email my dad sent me about how all these different companies use Linux. [...]
how to be a snobby web designer
I’m not talking about the attitude that comes across in your writing, but instead how you design your pages. I’ve seen these problems crop up from time to time on various sites and it always bugs me, because you’re pretty much saying to a certain group of users that you don’t care about them [...]
using Perl and Apache on OS X
What was this /private/etc/httpd/users/sarah.conf that it was talking about? I had never created this file. I checked and it certainly existed. It also had an Options line without ExecCGI--bingo! I simply removed the file because it was just redefining what I had already specified in httpd.conf for Users/*/Site directories (shown above). I then restarted Apache and voila, my scripts worked.
reminiscing about old DOS games
When I was growing up, I played all kinds of games on the PC. Many kids may have grown up on Mario Brothers with Nintendo, but my family went from having an Atari 2600 to a Playstation 2; needless to say, we skipped a few years of consoles there. So my main outlet [...]

web design and foreign neighbors
Todd’s friend Steve does game and product reviews for Gamerz-Edge, which is in need of a new layout. Todd recommended me as a web designer to Nathan, who also works there, and Nathan and I spoke this morning. We’re going to meet on Friday to discuss me taking an existing design idea of [...]
this new Virb thing
So thanks to Jem I got invited to Mint Pages Forums and thanks to that I got a Virb invite from another forum member. I now have 14 remaining invites myself, so if you want one, tell me your email address and I’ll hook you up. I’ve been having a lot of fun [...]
