You’d think that if you were the “dot” in “dot” com that your site would be fast, usable and informative. Unfortunately, for Sun, it’s not. I’ve always wondered if they get any business at all from their site. It’s slow, evil and poorly layed out. I hate it. The worst part is I have to […]

I’m an idiot.
I’m an idiot. I thought, hey, OS X is a lot more stable now and my friend has the latest beta. I should try it out! So, I wiped my poor old Powerbook’s hard drive and installed everything. The one thing I forgot is that OS X is a pig. It’s a big giant memory […]
I love smart people who

Tcl is fun for many
Tcl is fun for many reasons. Everyone should learn it and use it in their daily lives.
I’ve started my Blogger API
I’ve started my Blogger API project! I’m calling it BlogTcl. It will be an XML-RPC implementation for AOLserver and I’ve laid out the skeleton of the Tcl code with proc names and some documentation. Wow, my first open source project. I feel like such a geek.
