That’s what Resurf is, if you trust them to do it! It doesn’t have to be yourself, it can be whoever: Personally, I have reasonable doubts WordPress can truly offer a 100 years of hosting, but I think I trust it more than one guy’s side project. I gave them a buck to send a…

Just a little appreciation for the work that most email providers put into filtering spam from our inboxes. I feels like it stopped working for a few hours this weekend on my Gmail account and maybe 20-30 slipped through for me. Not a big deal, cleaned up, and it’s all back to normal. But I’ve…

I feel like I can’t let this blog exist without mentioned the existence of Strong Bad.

But I’d fallen deeply behind on my personal email inbox a few years ago and never dug myself out. Realizing I had almost 4,000 unprocessed threads, I considered declaring email…

I’m afraid I won’t be answering Julie here. For one, it feels a bit like spam. Like a response just marks in a database some where they’ve got a live one. For two, that broken image feels awfully suspicious, like it’s trying to do the same. For three, even if Julie happens to be real…

Maybe I’ll make this Chris’ Law #893. I feel like if I get a text message, any text message, I should be able to respond to it. Like if it’s an appointment reminder, cool, thanks, I can respond to it and tell you to cancel it. Or confirm it. Or ask you clarifying questions. And…
