Glitch fixing

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

I just discovered that both the permalinks and the comments RSS feed were messed up. Somehow, some files didn’t transfer quite properly during the upgrade process, which is bizarre, since I double-checked them all. Go figure.
If you see problems of any kind, please let me know. Thanks!

That was my away message for most of this week. I just turned in my first law school paper, for American Legal Theory. Final tallies:

25 pages
97 footnotes
6,193 words text
3,386 words footnotes
80 hours working time (roughly)
10 pots of coffee (very roughly)
3 Red Bulls
1 all-nighter
1 year off my life expectancy (minimum)

At least it’s done. I’ll post it [...]

I Feel the Waters Rising…

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Upgrade to WordPress 2.0

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

I upgraded the site (finally) to WordPress 2.0. This should help me manage the spam comments/trackbacks/pingbacks. To give you an idea of the magnitude of the problem, during the first 17 days of this month, I received 316 spam comments (18.6/day). On the 18th, I received 247. On the 19th, 348. On the 20th, 614.

I (still) love my MINI!

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

For those who haven’t heard, I left my moonroof partially open during Wednesday’s thunderstorm. I thought I’d closed it, but I was wrong, apparently. Anyway, the sensor for the remote (keyless) entry system shorted out, because it’s in the rearview mirror, which got soaked. So, I drove out to a local dealer, today, expecting to [...]

Ashes and Snow

Monday, May 8th, 2006

Reading CNN.com, this morning, I was introduced to Ashes and Snow, a new exhibition by photographer Gregory Colbert. It is simply stunning. Do yourself a favor and go explore the site, right now.

Insanity Reigneth

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

It has been a while since I have written much of anything (useful) on here. Life has been pretty crazy. In the last few weeks:

I have written an appellate brief, which I am pretty sure I screwed up in several ways, due to non-law-school stress and sleep deprivation.
My sister has spent a week in the [...]
