Today I abandoned the Mac Mail application that comes with OS X in favor of Thunderbird. In a way, I hated to do it. Mac Mail is very nicely put together, with an elegant, simple interface and everything right where it ought to be. But in my experience the IMAP support was flakey — particularly [...]
The proof of the pudding, they say, is in the eating. And so far, I’m liking what I’m eating. My shiny new (refurbished) MacBook Pro arrived this morning via FedEx ground. The timing stunk — I was up to my ears in alligators due to some network issues at the data center (turned out to [...]
Late last week, I did the unthinkable. I ordered a new laptop…from Apple. I’ve been watching the MacBook Pro line closely lately, especially since Apple introduced the new unibody design, and I’ve been really impressed with what I’ve seen. In addition, OS X seems to be maturing to the point that nearly anything you can [...]
Turns out the problem was indeed a data center fire (which is a truly frightening prospect). As best I can tell, a transformer shorted out and started a small fire. Sprinklers kicked in and put out the fire but also shorted out generators and caused much more serious problems. Ultimately, all power to the building [...]

I just installed a plugin that promises to tweet any new posts to my blog. This post is a test to see if it really works. Results: Yes, yes it does work. COOL! Better still, the tweet also updates my Facebook status. Talk about digital convergence! Wonder if I can also set it to blog [...]
It would appear that any photos that were uploaded to a BlogWare photo album have not come across with the rest of the data that I migrated. Not sure if it’s worth tracking those down…it probably accounts for fewer than 30 posts.
I’m moving the blog to WordPress, so bear with me for a while as things settle. It’s a little sad to move off of Blogware (which has served me well for many years). I played some small role in the birth of Blogware as one of the earliest beta testers. Unfortunately, Tucows has essentially abandoned [...]
File this one under “bizarre coincidences that you simply couldn’t dream up on your own.” One of my clients has been having trouble with ColdFusion on his server. I’m not a CF guy, so I can’t solve it for him, but he ran across a company with a bunch of very smart CF guys whom [...]
