Something wicked, this Monday comes…

After a long, ugly week at work I came home ready for the weekend. What I found made me wish it was Monday…a note from UPS saying they tried to deliver my Nintendo DS…

I’m jazzed, of course. I’ve not been a big fan of many game systems because they seem to have to be in the center of your lifestyle. They get in the way of life - if you want to play and your sweet girlfriend wants to watch CSI:Toledo, you know who’s gonna lose.

Historically, I’ve owned a Pong, ColecoVision, Sinclair TX81, Sanyo MBC-555, Vic20 & C64, Amiga 1000 & 2000, Atari Lynx, Leading Edge 386, Amiga 3000 (I never learn), Macintosh 605, Dell Pentium (I really don’t learn), Power Computing PowerCurve 601, Powerbook 333 “Wallstreet”, Sega Dreamcast, Sun 5 (2x), iBook dual USB and a Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz.

Clearly my track record is hit and miss - let’s see where this one takes me. When I get it, expect unpacking photos and a nice breakdown of the gadget love.

First Post!

Yes, we’re alive and working now!
That only took the better part of a week. arrrgh…

Well, for those of you who read this blog - and that would be the 3 of you - this has taken a while to get started. For a cms I chose Expression Engine (herewith dubbed ‘EE’), the fabulously-flexible content management system from the fine folks at pMachine. But with all that power lie a few problems, mostly in the security area.

EE uses some tools under Unix to perform it’s magic on moving and managing images and objects. In the interest of keeping my system secure I’m not going to discuss what those limits are, but let’s just say that when you install it, check the file upload section first. If you’ve got problems seeing directories or moving files and images, and you’ve done the perquisite file permissions, you’re probably running in the security policy of your ISP.

Then smile, ask nicely and send them tech people beer. You’re going to need them on your side…
