Doc has suggested that I add an XML-RPC interface to my Blog Service Pinger. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself. When time allows (i.e., I’ll work on it in my Copious Free Time), I’ll add a weblogs.com compatible ping interface that will allow you to ping all supported services in one fell swoop. I also plan to add an introspection call which will list the supported services, and another call which … Continue reading
I am constantly surprised at the number of websites out there that don’t bother to set a background-color on their pages. Why do I care? I don’t know. But it just seems to me that it’s a detail that every web designer should attend to. Here’s how a web site without a default background color looks to me. You see, I like to be sure that I don’t forget to set the background color for … Continue reading
I’ve made several new updates to this site over the last few days. There’s nothing major, but I thought I’d point them out. Added a contact form. Added a donation page.

Added My Yahoo! ping to Blog Service Pinger. Created link buttons for the Blog … Continue reading

Take a relatively close loved one – not your closest loved one, or your best friend, but someone who you like a lot and have affection for. It could be your brother, it … Continue reading
Is there anybody out there who is familiar with using CGI’s implemented as DLLs under IIS? We have some programs on our IIS4 server that I am trying to migrate to an IIS5 Server (Windows 2000). But when I try to use them, I get errors. One of them returns a HTTP 405 error (which IIS shows as “Resource not allowed”, but the standard for a 405 is “Method not allowed”). The other one just … Continue reading
If you’re anything like me, then you didn’t give a flying flip about the Super Bowl. I was mildly interested in the commercials, but I knew that I’d be able to see them on the internet, eventually. (thanks for the link, Suze!)
Alex has announced the winners of the WordPress CSS Style Competition. Voting was difficult, as there were many excellent entries. I was pleased to see that two of my favorites (Rubric and Human Condition) were winners.
After a particularly stressful time last week (including our son being in the hospital for 30 hours), I lost zero weight. 😕 I think things might calm down again now. Back to eating soup for lunch…
