Alice (Katie’s grandmother) died this week. She was a feisty old woman. She would would have turned 100 this year. I remember so vividly he telling Ben at Christmas, "I’m a wrapper!!" and crossing her fingers in a gang sign. She told great stories like when the first car arrived…
I tried out Xinha 4 WordPress, but it didn’t quite work the way I wanted. I am unhappy with all of these editors. 🙁 Now I am trying Code Markup. It supposedely makes it so I can put in code snippets easier.
Using Script tags in WordPress is a pain in the ass. They have a visual tab and a code tab, but the code tab does some strange parsing. I want a REALLY code tab where I can type it in exactly as a want it. I now have to look…
I have lots of experiments for jQuery that I made years ago. I wonder if they are helpful to anyone. Feel free to use: http://www.commadot.com/jquery/

Ok, I FINALLY upgraded my WordPress 2.0.2 to 2.1. I was so scared of messing it up, but apparently it worked fine. I just followed the instructions. It’s got lots of improvements. I am pleased that it was so painless. The UI for the 2.1 release is pretty much the…
http://www.getfirebug.com/ This plugin is just awesome for Firefox. It does everything I want to help figure out how a page is put together. I suggest it for every developer out there. Other software stuff: Adobe Photoshop CS3 looks cool. I was playing around with it at Penny’s house. She is…
Some of the UX Designs I made for TurboTax are going live. I HAD temporary links. Some people at Intuit who shall remain nameless have objected to showing them. So I am going to make local copies and host them myself. The test is also delayed, so I will wait a little…
The three of them are doing great. Ethan is reading chapter books like The Hobbit! He is also doing 3rd grade math, like long multiplication. I taught him how to read a clock in one sitting. Jared is starting to read phonics books. Katie tells me the other parents think…
How awesome is this?!? It's a view of Microsoft Live that has a flyby photo of my house. Super resolution! This is way better than Google Maps!
Ok, so I redirected http://pictures.kokopop.com to go to the new place. I like it, but I still have some reservations. Plus we need to tag and upload about 6 gigs of photos. Ugh! Additionally, I am getting a little annoyed with PowWeb. The speed seems to be getting slower and…
This may be the only prediction of its kind in the world. Vinny Testaverde will replace Tom Brady this playoff season at some point and lead the New England Patriots to a Superbowl win. Tom Brady will probably be taken out with a hamstring or related leg injury. Thus, Vinny…
Check out this: http://picasaweb.google.com/glenlipka Ok, so it would cost me for the storage. They have a really crappy deal in comparison to Flickr. But I am REALLY happy with the way Picasa integrates with it. I can add captions or fix red-eye and upload JUST that one single photo and…
Microsoft, I believe, has made a mistake. The new version of Exchange 2007 ONLY runs on 64-bit operating systems. As someone who has installed Windows 64-bit edition, I can say, "It sucks." Nothing works right. Drivers are jacked. Programs don't work. Microsoft expects everyone who runs Exchange to do so…
