Diluted self-esteem?
Drat! I’ve been lurking over my Radio Userland referrer list, eagerly awaiting my first inbound link. But really, have I said anything of consequence yet? Don’t know. The technorati site is neat though, and may be my next means of diluting my self-esteem (”Gee, still no links”). I wasn’t popular in high school–why should I [...]

Missions-funding real estate referral service
I was revisiting all of my printed web pages (they pile up after a while!). I have been disposing of the paper by saving the web pages (when I can still find them) as Web Archive files (*.MHT) (You should really consider using this format for archiving your web pages if you use Internet Explorer).
Anyway, [...]

I really need to go to bed. I found another mention of the Christian Coders Network on this site. Only a page with links (including a cool looking site running a Nuke portal — sorry, haven’t perused the content yet), but one of them just so happened to be the Christian Game Developer’s Conference 2003.

Something about the Static
Goodbye Slashdot. It was fun. I’m puzzled over whether I should mourn the loss of such a cool news feed. Right now, though, I’m freeing up room for some compelling content. Much more worth my time. Sam Ruby’s on the bubble too. Validate this and that. Blah, blah, blah. I like you Sam, but you [...]

Textile
“Textile is getting pretty close to what I had hoped it would be: a place to simply write and not think much about code, and get valid markup in the bargain. ” [Textism]
