A tip from Justin Blanton on how to build nested archives. I don’t want to have the monthly archive list to keep growing so long. It gets ridiculous after several years. My goal is to have it be like this where each numeric month is a link. Much more efficient use of space.
2005: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
2004: 01 02 03 04 07 08 09 10 11 12
It cost more that gasoline. It is no better or worse for you than tap water. In most cases, people cannot tell the difference in blind taste tests.
The Penn & Teller alley-water test is funny….
Thank you first to Kathy for putting together a wonderful dinner party that included cooking under a hot umbrella! The internet cake was delicious. You can borrow my teflon umbrella any time, especially after Grandad’s comment.
Thank you to Mom and Dad for making my birthday possible in the first place. The custard will be much enjoyed. Have to finish off before Saturday.
Thank you Sistuh Carol and Bruthu Grant for calling. Jake’s barbershop quartet(quintet? sextet?) is always a treat.
Thank you Bruthu Ted for coming over with your 24 (different) friends named Sam. We missed Susan. (We did not miss the Fishhouse punch.)
Thank you Nico for driving in to celebrate with Fatherman. I took two of the giant cookies to work for a snack today. Yum yum.
Thank you D.C. for helping your Mom cook in the rain. If the 12 new Stouts were your idea, then Stout and I thank you.
Thank you Kelly and Mary Claire for the beautiful paintings. They will definitely help dress up my office. You both get first ride in the new hammock.
This is a TinyUrl that will (for the rest of time) search for the exact phrase “The Psychic Hearts”. Putting the quotes around a phrase in Google will look only for pages with that exact phrase.
So as long as TinyUrl.com and Google.com exist, this is the URL that will do that search:
UPDATE: The owner of the dot com variation ends up at the top of the search above. So I created this second tinyurl which adds “nico” to the search string at google. So the search is: nico “The Psychic Hearts”
I’ve also updated the title of this posting.
Will need to support e-mail services if we are going to sell web hosting services…

A lengthy article on combatting spam at Acme.com.
Last weekend I moved mac.fiveforks.com off our home iMac (vintage 2004) in the living room to a G3 (vintage 1999.) I got the G3 several months ago for free and, it has been running in test mode without a hitch in my basement. Its name is Wart, Merlin’s nickname for the young King Arthur.
Last night I moved Wart downtown to a server closet, so while the older 400 mhz G3 is three times slower than our 1.25 ghz iMac, it has 4 times the speed access to the internet. This is kind of like the tradeoff someone working downtown makes when moving from a bigger house in the suburbs to a smaller house in the city to cut commute times.
This week I was handed a bigger house. A G4 (vintage 2002) which I will swap out with the G3 when I can find the time.
Eventually I’d like to go to an XServe.
Note to self:
The manual address with automatic DHCP mode did not work. George coached me through hand plugging these:
IP 4.21.254.11
Router 4.1.254.1
Netmask 255.255.255.0
DNS 4.21.254.3 4.21.254.4
Network (not needed) 4.21.254.0
Gandalf (who is from a different book) is sitting next to Wart on .10.
… is on the way: Tracking.
(Mac:Office 2004 just arrived.)
mac.fiveforks.com is now running on a different Macintosh. It has moved from our living room to the basement, but that Mac will shortly be moved downtown to live in a data center where it will have much faster access to the internet. (Stuff should come down faster when you visit.)
Call or write if you have any problems posting or commenting. Had to fix UT tonight with one glitch, but I think all is running smoothly.
I want to allow churches (or any group really) to use MovableType for maintaining their websites. This prototype is almost all MovableType postings. Even the photos and side information for the most part are just articles that can be easily edited. Choosing a category like “Main-Side” or “Contact-Top” controls where information will go.
