Today’s breakthrough is discovering a great and free spam filter for Outlook 2000 (and up) which uses Bayesian filtering. It’s called Spammunition.
For those not familiar with these filters, a Bayesian filter operates on the assumption that history repeats itself: the odds of something being true in the future (or the present) can be predicted extremely [...]

I just re-optimized the Topsail Consulting website. It’s not finished, of course - that’ll never happen - but it should be much better off.
Meanwhile, Leslie and I are going to work on setting up a PCB ‘99 reunion in PCB, next year. Should be a blast.
Our mower finally came back from the shop, so, [...]

I had a good, long talk with Leslie, last night, and another with Bryan, tonight. I love catching up with old friends; I’m actually a real sucker for it. Of course, Leslie and Bryan are two of my closest friends, so that makes it all the better!
Meanwhile, most else in life is normal… In reference [...]

Topsail is roaring right along, this month - we have a number of new web design and search engine optimization prospects, and the business itself is on solid footing, for a while, even without new cash flow! God is good. We turned down an enormous, but morally questionable, contract about three weeks ago; I can’t [...]

Tomorrow is, of course, Easter Sunday. To me, it’s the single most amazing day of the year: it validates not only the Christian faith, but all of life. What a beautiful story. Sadly, so few people understand it. Good Friday is a wonderful thing: on that day, as Christ died on the cross, because (and [...]

So, the lesson of the night is that I need to bowl more often, if I wish to be good. I bowled three games tonight. Suffice it to say that all were below my average, which is around 143; the last game I bowled, tonight, was a 142. Darn.
Meanwhile, I’m making progress, but by no [...]

So, I’ve been watching “Avoiding Armageddon,” which is poorly named and sponsored by Ted Turner (read, “biased beyond belief”), but interesting, nonetheless. Basically, it tells me things aren’t as bad as I think - they’re worse… I’m also perusing the MySQL manual and contemplating about a dozen projects of various sorts. Life is far too [...]

So, is anybody out there actually reading this? If so, please let me know through my contact form.
Saw Brooke Wheeler today - she’s in town for a waterpolo tournament. That was fun; it’s always great to catch up with a good, old friend.
This has been a long, hard week… I’ve got a ton of [...]

I’ve been so busy, I’ve had no time to update this, the past few days. I’ve got major web design projects going on, both at Crusade and at Topsail, and I’m just really looking to keep up.
Thought of the day: freedom is a beautiful thing.

The lights and water are out, of course, in Baghdad, thanks to our glorious “allies” (one of which started the Cold War, one of which started World War II, and one of which has had more civil wars than America has had foreign wars). That’s right: the French, Russians, and Germans are at it again. [...]
