I hate Subversion
I really really hate it. Every time I try to do anything USEFUL with it, like try out an idea in a new branch and then merge the bits of that branch that worked out back to my main line, it barfs all over me with totally crap-ass error messages that nobody could ever, EVER [...]
Patch, patch, patch!
Microsoft has released a record number of patches many of which are of the most critical variety. Please, please, please! Update your system(s) now! Don’t get bitten.
Fall is here!
When I walked out of the garage this morning, and felt the cool, dry air around me, I knew that fall was finally here. The sun was just coming up, and everything around me was still and quiet. Mornings like this make me want to spend the whole day outside. The quiet makes me remember [...]

Books I’d loved and re-read dozens of times are now nearly unreadable. I used to like almost everything I read. Now, I [...]
VML patch out
Get the VML patch at WIndows/Microsoft update now. Don’t wait. Do it now. (NOTE: if you unregistered vgx.dll, be sure to register it again before applying the patch.)
wow
For some reason, I’ve been feeling the urge to give World of Warcraft another try. As I still have the game installed on the Windows PC, it tempts me from time to time.
I’ve quit twice after playing a short time each instance. I just couldn’t get into it. But with Jerry Pournelle mentioning it all [...]
