Onyen Annoyance

In a few days my UNC Onyen password expires, and it will continue to expire every 90 days after that. The typical semester is more like 120 days, so why does UNC force a password change so soon? I am as much for security as anyone, but UNCC seems to have a better system, they […]

Lorem Ipsum – A Tradition of Bullshit

This evening I was working on a new website that I plan to release soon, it is for my art. I have been trying to develop the website without doing any of the actual writing that is required (including my present nemesis: the artist’s statement). As a placeholder I have been using Lorem Ipsum text. […]

Stupid Privacy Policy Laws

I am never amazed at the stupidity of some people and organizations. Google has been in violation of a California law requiring commercial websites hosted in the state to have a privacy policy linked from their homepage for 5 years. Google has their policy available from their About page (one click from Home), but the […]

Needing to Centralize

Now that I have a week of free time, I believe it is time to work one some stuff with GITI. Keychain – an odd little module I wrote to move all of my software keys out of the GITI notepad and into a separate space. The module is somewhat effective at what it does, […]

Paranoid about Drive Space

Chris and I took a look at the use of drive space on my servers this evening and I was surprised by what was discovered. It would appear that my fascination with collecting porn and my ever growing digital photography store are taking over the most space on my file servers. Since I will be […]

Starting a Website

I am having a hard time remembering how to really start a website. I am still fighting with LiveCurt.net and everything that it hasn’t become yet. I want to have it as a central location for everything about me, but I don’t know how to do it yet. I like having everything in its place, […]

Voicemail That I Will Check

I’m giving GrandCentral.com a try. Seems like a great service, but I don’t see myself using the forwarding features much. The voicemail is great though, I can check it anywhere via phone or web.

Commenting on Blog Entries

Many of you may have noticed that commenting on entries on my blogs isn’t as simple as it used to be. This is because SPAM bots can use the easy forms too well. Effective like 5 minutes ago, everyone who has an AIM ID can now login to post a comment to my blog. Also, […]
