Whoah. On March 22nd, I will have been blogging for a year. The fact that I have stuck with it for so long is pretty freaking amazing. As a general rule, I tend to be rather flighty about my projects.

I just finished categorizing all the old school entries. Next up is to clean out all the entries marked as a draft. Why is this important? My blog is my brains offline storage. If it is organized, my life is easier. At least one of my brains should have some kind of order.

Kamera Watcz0rz is a one-off app that I coded in an hour to check the status of the incoming Canon Digital Rebel... *DR000000L*

This of course, is for my lovely wife, whose photographs will one day grace the hallowed halls of... errr... some photography museum in someplace cool, like Prague, New York, or some shit.

I am thinking about opening it up some, and giving it RSS. That would pwnz0rz, just enter in your USPS id, and it would check for you every hour. Although, after a day or so of the USPS post office site getting 100 different queries every hour from the same host, it is bound to raise suspicions, and probably a few hackles, so I will refrain from doing that.

Update: She finally got the Camera, so I shut down the page. It took 8 weeks or so.. UGH!

I haven't been writing much about Harmony in this blog, because she has her very own site for that. Well, I finally started actually writing in that one, so Here is my first entry. Whute!

Wards Wiki (or WikiWikiWeb), the Ur-Wiki has a little problem. If you check out Quick Changes (Local mirror here) You will see that someone has apparently decided to start from AaMilne, and work their way up and got stopped at AndersenConsulting I am guessing they are doing some kind of evil page badness (spamming? deleting?). Now the wiki CGI script gives a 404, (probably to avoid further page meltdowns.)

If I remember, c2 has its own page-change-flow-control mechanism that ensures that edit wards, and continuous page changing by a single (group of) IP address(es) don't happen. whoever wrote their evil script was smart enough to realize that, and make sure that they changes pages well below the threshold. EIther that, or the dumbass didn't notice that 99% of his script running time was spent parsing "403 Forbidden" messages.

Given the behaviour of some individuals on Wiki, it wouldn't surprise me if it was an "inside job". Sad really.

So, I am up in Ft. McMurry. In case you don't know where it is, in relation to my hometown... it might as well be the freakin Great White North. Coming here is kinda like a Vancouverite coming to Calgary, (I finally understand what it is like).

Yesterday morning Telus got barsted, so of corse, our webserver was inacessable. Thanks to Trevor and Drew for fix0ring things when the interweb was fixed. All this wen't down whilst Shell, Harmony and I were in the car. We got periodic updates from Trevor via SMS along a two lane highway on the way to a 2 bit whitebread mining town. What a wired world we live in.

Finally, My Main site is RSSified. First up is the Jonnay RSS feed which is a feed of my music. So you can get updated instantly when I get a new track. I built this with usefilinc'sRSS Class. It's only RSS 1.0, so I won't be able to include .torrent enclosures yet... but It is a useful class, and it got me happening with RSS in about half an hour. So whoot!

Next up on the RSS goodness is the front page of the site will get its news items via the topical XML feed from the Blog. Way hella Cool. I used Magpie RSS to capture the feed. took again, about half an hour to make it go.
