Al Gore – WWF
Why is Al Gore screaming like a WWF wrestler? What happened to the dull know-it-all we elected president?
Hercules, Bikes, Political Trading Cards
So we set in motion the plan to buy the Hercules house. If we are very lucky, it will double in value in a few months! Or a few years. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, Ethan rode his new bike this weekend. Its a 20″ bike and pretty heavy. He…
Apologies
When a politician or any public figure apologizes, then the public loses interest. It is the act of full disclosure that we love. Catching someone in the act doesn’t mean anything if they apologize. Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized for groping all those women and the public said ok. Clinton didn’t apologize…
Kerry’s acceptability
It seems that Kerry’s strategy is to preserve his acceptability. He thinks Bush will screw it all up domestically and internationally and that as long as he is in the right place at the right time, he will win. Although I think the strategy is risky, I agree with Kerry.…
Microsoft Project for Software Development
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,…
FTP Server
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.
Robocut
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…
Other blogs
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 Quits
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…
3 boys
Today my wife and I went to the ultrasound. Its a man-child! That will make 3 boys. Do I have ANY x chromosomes???
Cisco Pix 501
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…
Is John Kerry Lurch?
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.
First Blog using Blogger
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…
Calling Bullshit (from June 7, 1997)
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.…
