Remove Spyware and Adware
• December 30, 2004 • Software, Technology • 5 comments
I’ve been very fortunate to have never been hit with spy/ad-ware. I’ve always been careful, and I’ve tried to teach my wife what actions are smart and which ones are not. Last night, however, I was looking for some information and ended up downloading a file from a shady website. After scanning the file and [...]
God Came Near
• December 24, 2004 • Personal • No comments
When Jesus came to this earth over 2000 years ago, he came as a child — a baby. Although he was God in human flesh, he didn’t have the kind of birth that should be owed to the future king. Rather being born in a warm, clean hospital, his parents were kicked out to the [...]
Using Del.icio.us Feeds With SimplePie
• December 13, 2004 • Projects, Syndication, Technology, Website • No comments
I know that a lot of people are using Magpie RSS to power their del.icio.us sidebar links, so I figured I’d throw out a code sample showing how you could use SimplePie for the same task. If you need to come to terms with why SimplePie might be a better choice of RSS parser, check [...]
Happy Birthday, Emily Ann Boydston

Happy Birthday, Emily Ann Boydston! I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked, and I know that this is an old picture (1998), but happy 22nd birthday. I hope that things are going great for you!
SimplePie Beta Testing
• December 3, 2004 • Code, Projects, Syndication, Technology • No comments
Rather than completely hold off the next version of SimplePie until it’s totally complete (which appears to be taking some time), I’ve decided to make the current Beta versions available for testing purposes. Although it appears to be fairly stable, I wouldn’t recommend this for a production site just yet. If you’d like to test [...]
Screen Grab Confab
• December 3, 2004 • Code, Just for Fun • No comments
I know that I’m a couple of weeks late for this, but here’s my hat in the ring… Heads-up: the linked image is a 1.3 MB PNG file.
Our First Christmas Tree
• December 3, 2004 • Family Life • 3 comments
My wife and I have been married for roughly 3.5 years. For most of that time, we were renting a room from her parents. Whenever Christmas would come around, her parents would get a tree and decorate it, and I was never really part of the process. This year is the first year where we [...]
Simple PHP Gallery 1.1
• November 19, 2004 • Code, Projects, Website • 4 comments
Paul Griffin has just released SPG 1.1! For those who aren’t familiar with this project, Simple PHP Gallery is exactly that—an easy-to-use image gallery system, written in PHP. There are several new features listed on Paul’s SPG Mini-Site, but there are a few that are my favorites (as I was a beta tester for this [...]
