Trader Joe's Extravirgins (and Floozies). Not every bottle is a winner. #>
Linode StackScripts. There's some fantastic stuff in here (not to mention their documentation in general is great, what a huge step up from Verio, who gives you jack-all.) #>
Trader Woes. Not sure what they expected building in Boulder but there you go. #>
Database Changes Done Right. Comprehensive. #>
The New TextSecure: Privacy Beyond SMS. I like the sound of that. #>
I find it sadly funny that when using the official page to give feedback on the crappy new Flickr photo beta you are asked to sign in using Facebook or Google. Seriously, feedback for a Yahoo property doesn't even let you use your Yahoo account? Dumbasses. #>
Sensor Gel Stick. Yikes, $50. #>
Two programs to analyze your Lightroom photos and tell you the statistics (favorite lens, focal length, etc): PhotoStats (stand-alone Java app) and Lightroom Analytics (two-parter, requires a plugin to export your metadata then an app to read and analyze that export.) #>
A tcpdump Tutorial and Primer. I use tcpdump just not quite enough to remember what options I need when I use it, worth having a quick tutorial to review. #>
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The 1939 short story in The New Yorker, not the recent movie. #>
Eat Your Books. Turn your cookbook collection into an online resource. #>
Retro Outdoor Gear Gallery. Wow. #>
BetterFacebookIsBetter. Nice way to cut down on the clutter of the crappy Facebook interface. #>
Comcast SMTP Error Code 554. I started getting these when I moved my domain to Linode. Turns out that since Linode is fully IPv6 capable I ended up connecting to a Comcast mail server via IPv6. That mail server (and this error) comes from not having had a reverse-lookup DNS AAA record for that IPv6 address. Added that in, set it as a reverse pointer (PRT) record and it was all set. Took about 5 minutes to fix. #>
Why Thieves Steal Soap. Interesting. #>
