USPS Package Delivery How do I hate thee... let me count the ways.

Amazon has a shipping facility in Lexington, KY.  I live about 25 miles north of Cincinnati, OH.  It is about a 2-hour drive from Lexington to Cincinnati.  Cincinnati is the main post office in this area and all mail emanates from there and is then…

Back in the saddle

Wow, it has been a while since I’ve sat down in front of this FreeTextBox interface and written anything.  No, Ben Kanpurn, I have not given up on my blog.  I’ll use the same excuse as everyone else who ignores their blog for a short period - I was…

An introduction to my crazy ass dog, Brutus

I thought I’d share this little clip of my dog, Brutus, entertaining us.  He is a clown and he will keep it going as long as someone is laughing.  He just ain’t right - but we love him anyway. I apologize for the cruddy clip, but for some strange…

Fun with FlexWiki

Thanks to Rory’s post about his NeoWikiDiki , I got to play around with FlexWiki and little and I ended up implementing it as an internal tool for our team. I’m really not much on Wiki’s - I didn’t think they had much real-world use.  I have…

SpamBayes

Well, I took Michael Eaton’s advice from his comment to a post I made a few days ago and downloaded and installed SpamBayes .  It has only been about an hour since I did so, but I am pleased so far.  Thanks for the advice, Michael!

Nerd Adventures with a Human Female in Sin City

I watched Rory and the crew’s Caesar’s 24/7 episode last night on A&E and it was hilarious.  It was worth wading through the other 53 minutes of crap and commercials to see their piece. Freakin’ hilarious. I’ve you’ve ever been out with a bunch of…

.Text, Open Source Projects, and other tidbits

The group of developers using .Text, customizing it, etc. is a pretty small and tight-knit community.  I have learned a lot recently. It has been exciting to be involved with the goings-on (solutions to stop comment spam, etc) and the evident pleas…

RSS Aggregators - NewsGator, FeedDemon

I use NewsGator’s Outlook plug-in to aggregate RSS feeds I want to keep track of.  It’s easy for me because it puts everything inside Outlook, which I already have open 25 hours of every day. I really like NewsGator. I like how it adds right-click…
