My goal has been to get a minimal–I mean small with a capital TINY–web+perl+mxr working in Windows.  [...]

So hot you can’t touch it

By david.humphrey | Published: January 27, 2008
I do a mean paneed chicken and tonight I tried making a wild mushroom and white wine sauce to go over it.  I nailed it, and then re-learned the lesson I teach myself every time I do this.  I always sear off my chicken breasts and then finish them in the oven.  Well, can I [...]

Courage, it couldn’t come at a better time

By david.humphrey | Published: January 23, 2008
Yesterday I had meetings from the start of my day until the end, and by the time I finished it was clear I was going to get nothing done.  So I went to join Chris’ Mozilla class to see how their builds were going.  Various networking issues and broken tests were the order of the [...]

infinity mirrors

By david.humphrey | Published: January 14, 2008
Recently I had the opportunity to take my two girls away on vacation for 3 days, and let my wife have a much needed rest and some time to herself at home.  It’s something that I’ve been dreaming about doing ever since we had kids, and it’s fantastic that they are old enough now for [...]

Some students have reported problems getting onto IRC and specifically into #seneca. The reason for this is that we have changed the channel’s mode such that only registered users (i.e., nicks) can join. This was done to stop an endless barrage of spambots from joining and leaving the channel. It turns out that registering [...]
