YouTube and Firefox

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Is it just me, or is Youtube suddenly not working in Firefox... but working perfectly fine in Chrome? Seems sinister, but it's probably something I'm doing wrong...

Annoying outages

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

<gripe> I know that Saturday evening probably seems like a good time to do system maintenance and things like that, but it's exceptionally aggravating when half of the servers I need to use (some internal, some external like Network Solutions) are all down when I'm trying to make a productive ...

The first of the wedding photos

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Our photographer for the wedding (Phil Holden, great guy) came by the house last week to watch us interact (or something)... he posted a few of the shots from that on his blog. You can check them out here.    

Dancing 2008 - Matt is back

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Matt's new video is up. I just watched it for the first time, and am speechless. I clapped, cheered, laughed, teared up, all in the space of four and a half minutes, all alone in my office at home. Must watch. And watch again.

Open Source & Ecto

Friday, June 20th, 2008

So I may have just had an epiphany. Not sure. At Mifos, we're in the midst of really digging deep and thinking hard about what being open source means for us. This covers things like licenses, business models, partnerships, community building, and all that jazz. The tricky bit is that ...

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I feel that I could write a really killer blog entry on how jetlag affects your brainpower in subtle, interesting ways, if only I had the brainpower to write it.

Tomorrow’s weather…

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Apparently it's forecast to be 102 F in Tunis tomorrow afternoon when I arrive. That's hot... which is nice, since it's been winter in Seattle since approximately 2004.

Turkiye

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

So I'm in Amsterdam (start of a hectic travel week) and tonight Turkey played the Czech Republic in the third match of their group round in the Euro 2008 Cup. Turkey won 2-0 - exciting, yes, but I was thoroughly unprepared for the outpouring of apparently half of the population ...

Forcing function

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

I had a big blog entry drafted - OK, well, outlined, by which I mean I had a bunch of nonsensical bullets written to remind me of some things to write about - that I thought would be really scintillating and insightful. Not a chance, but here's a quick rundown ...

Jimi Hendrix

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Jimi once lived &/or jammed in the basement of our house. More importantly, it turns out that the "Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape" of VERY recent newsworthiness is now available on demand in the Sheraton Four Points Chelsea. Foxy.
