Consider this a bookmark:

I've started a new section on this site called Notebook. This is where I'll collect posts on interesting topics. My first notebook page is the OpenACS Notebook, where I'm collecting weblog posts, tips, tricks, and other useful information.

I posted a message on the OpenACS forums regarding the behavior of the lookup code for <include> src attributes. So far there have been a few interesting responses.

Discussion on[#openacs](http://openacs.org/irc/log/2003-06-13None#T14-11-04) about ways to handle Form-to-Email in openacs without creating a spam-machine...

On localhost: the notes tutorial, which takes you through creating a new package.

Anytime you move or change an XQL file that lives in the www folder, you're going to have to restart the server, so that the package manager can reload the XQL.

Well, things have been pretty quiet around here lately, and there's a good reason: after a year of unemployment, I have a shot at a contractor position with a company in Southern California. I'll be working from home, which is great.

I'm learning OpenACS, and had to install PostgreSQL to support it. There are great instructions by Marc Liyanage here, as well as a StartupItem so that Postgres will launch on boot.

Well, since I've been so busy lately, and have not been blogging as I ought, here's a humorous tidbit from the archives.

My good buddy Nate works for Raytheon, where the mechanical engineers just got a new stenciling machine... smile

I'm working on a new app in my limited spare time. It's an OS X app, and this post is geeky, so you can move along is that's not your bag.

Men, here's why you can't win smile:

Jodi and I played a game of Cribbage over lunch, and ran afoul of a question of play. Google, of course, had the answer.

I'm finally back writing Cocoa code again. I've already written (and temporarily abandoned) one app in Apple's Cocoa Mac OS X programming environment.

Ok, so I've been working on getting an interview with a web/IT company in So. Cal. Today I got an email from one of their staff, with a first round of questions.

Well, I managed to survive Monday's brain-bake, so obviously Murphy was not satisfied. Grilling a nice fat rack of boneless pork ribs tonight I got a rather severe burn to my forearm from the grill lid. Damn.

A while back I finished up and launched a new site for our church, the Tempe Vineyard. Jodi and I are the defacto webmasters, which is fine with us. It's giving us the exciting opportunity to be the web evangelists within the church, helping members and leaders understand they have at their disposal.

I'm Blogging This.

Well I used to try and make sure I'd link to folks who were linking to me (according to Technorati), and I've totally fallen down on the job. Mostly it's because I'm lazy, but also because lately I've only been getting links from the usual suspects (Seth, Bill, Greg - hi guys!) whom I link to fairly regularly.

I've changed the search box (top right corner of this page) to use the weblog search feature.
