My shirt rack has three "zones". Clean clothes go in zone 1. When I take out a shirt, I put a special color hanger in its place. At night I hang up my shirt in the next zone, or chuck it in the hamper as appropriate. My memory for

Glad you like it. I was thinking of adding a couple of examples to the about page as it might not be clear enough what the benefit is. I find it particularly helpful when dealing with a kiosk, lab PC, or quickly making a URL accessible on m

I'm enjoying looking at the git commit history of a weekend project that just reached its one-year-in-development anniversary :). It's still weekend project size/scope, but I've redone it 10 different ways in 3 different

I do still like books, though I find for technology topics my Safari Online subscription is way more useful than buying individual books. I'll have a book on my virtual shelf for a few weeks, dart around in it gleaning what I want, the

I tried, liked and missed Japanese toilets. I certainly wasn't going to be installing a $1000 Toto in my house, but I waited too long to take a chance on a cheap bidet. For <$50 you can get a bidet on Amazon which, though little mor

I smell NSA involvement. They've clearly hacked the site and posted this piece to make Luke Harding and The Guardian look ridiculous.

I struggle with this as well. My coping mechanism has been heavy use of lists. I write down what I'm going to do before I do it, if it is going to take any time at all. Sounds brutally inefficient, and I guess it is, but I've foun

I've only ever used S3, but some of these AWS offerings do look interesting for my little projects. My question is, how do hours get calculated for billing? If I had my super low traffic blog using RDS, would I incur a few microseconds

At my last job, 15 years ago, I was granted four patents. I also got a fancy engraved plaque for each one. I've since moved, and those plaques sit in unpacked boxes. My wife has occasionally pressed me to hang then up like I used to, w

“The whole idea from the 80s — that you’d make some money and use that money to make more money — this current generation isn’t looking at money that way,” says Nash. Yeah, I remember those crazy, reinvesting 80s. Interest, dividends, buy
