Why is it that MS Project is not built for for the effort of developing software? – No Requirements analysis (like Rational Clearcase) – No Bug tracking (like Rational Clearquest) – No Release/Build Management features – No SourceSafe integration I would have thought, with all the software Microsoft works on, that MS Project would have…
Ive been trying all morning to get my FTP server running properly using SSL. Its such a pain the ass. Nothing works right. Firewall must be going wrong. Im frustrated with it. Arrrggghhh. Right now its not working at all.
I cut my hair too short yesterday. I used Robocut to cut my hair. I went too far this time. Its military short. I think I won’t do that again. The bigger problem is that my head is balding. Should I go Propecia? Or just let it go bald and cut my hair super short…
My brother’s blog is here. A general Lipka Family blog is here. My mother-in-law is here. Blogging is fun. Woo Hoo.
Howard Dean is calling it quits. I loved when he said, “I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic party.” I think the DLC is pushing the Democrats too far to the right. Ill miss him. I also think Kerry is stiff and uncharismatic. Right now, I’m voting for Edwards on March 2. Glen’s first…
Today my wife and I went to the ultrasound. Its a man-child! That will make 3 boys. Do I have ANY x chromosomes???
Firewalls: Cisco Pix 501 I bought this device because so many people said how great it is. I have to say, I HATE this thing. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is horrible. It doesn’t work right at all. The command line is cryptic. It seems that either you know Cisco’s arcane command line language or…
Is John Kerry really Lurch from the Addams family? Look for yourself UPDATE: I took it down. It was mean. 🙁 Maybe I should put it back up.
This is my first blog. At first I tried to set this thing up with SFTP which is a secure form of FTP. I could not get it to work. I tried the filezilla SFTP server. I dont want to use straight FTP because its inherently insecure. I wish Microsoft would just create an encrypted…
From June 7, 1997: (http://web.archive.org/web/19970618002600/www.commadot.com/beta/html/june5-97.htm) Someone told me after the lost-world hoax debacle, “Who the hell are you? To be calling Bullshit on Universal and CNN?”This raises two important lessons. The first is regarding he power of the “published” word. The second is the power of the Internet to publish. The published word makes all…
From May 30, 1997 (http://web.archive.org/web/19970618002257/www.commadot.com/beta/html/archive.htm) The lost-world column stirred some emotions. So in all fairness, I will re-visit the idea of PR hacks. Early in my internet career I knew some hackers. They broke into remote systems for fun or for agenda. Some of these hackers were immature and sexually deprived. Other hackers were politically…
From May 29, 1997 (http://web.archive.org/web/19970618002257/www.commadot.com/beta/html/archive.htm) The lost-world was “hacked” yesterday. (May 28, 1997) Someone replaced the opening image on the lost-world website yesterday. The new image transformed the scary dinosaur skeleton into a rubber duck. The caption: The duck-world. Beneath the caption was a very small tagline stating, hackers. Every detail of this replacement was…
Definition: A component of the Internet Information Server (IIS) 3.0 from Microsoft, which parses scripting languages on the server. The structure of the technology lets you create HTML pages which include scripts (right in the HTML which can talk freely to a database and other OLE resources easily and quickly.) This technology is a milestone…
I am in a rush, so here is the quickie prediction of the day: The internet has alot of good stuff. The Web and Email are the biggies. Expect WebTV and others like it to break through the wall into mainstream America. Why? Because most of America doesn’t need a computer. They need communication. My…
