This is a perfect example of how weather in Oregon is just crazy. I used one of my favorite utilities, Snag It, to grab this from the Statesman Journal website. Inside of an hour, visitors are informed that snow is not expected and then that snow is currently falling. The side of town where I [...]

Sarah and I just got back from the hospital where we got to take a look at our 20 week baby. We’re about half way through and everything is looking good. About 40 minutes into the checkup we learned that we’re having a girl. Yea! I was right! Alex is going to be outnumbered now [...]

I have a real respect for freeware and open source projects. It has to be tough to work so hard on something, have everybody critique it, and support it all day long while not making any money off of it. As I was going through my RSS a couple of days ago I came across [...]

Author side note: I was originally going to sit down tonight and write part two of my “distractionless browsing” article. In short, I’ve had little to no success with the systems I outlined in my previous article. They are as different and quirky as the mainstream browsers they intend to co-exist with. Instead I’m [...]

We are the species that has mastered tools. Shouldn’t we be proud of ourselves!?
SOUTHWORTH, Wash. — A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies said.
The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at [...]

Veterans day is here again. Even Google got in the act.
As for me, not a day goes by I don’t think of the men and women in uniform that are my friends from the past and present. I’ve got some old pictures of them and will shamelessly post them here. Before they were soldiers, they [...]

I’ve been working on a public website over these last few months and one of the issues I faced was what mechanism to use so that our users could edit the content of some of the pages. I’ve been using Wordpress successfully for awhile now on this site, and it somehow popped into my head [...]

This is a simple tip, mostly for myself, with hopes that it will help a future googler. To show the three most recent article titles from wordpress in a non-wordpress page, do the following:
index.php (non-wordpress PHP page)
<ul><?php include(”GetNews.php”); ?></ul>
GetNews.php
<?php
require(’wp_directory/wp-blog-header.php’);
wp_get_archives(’type=postbypost&limit=3&format=html’);
?>
Simple enough if you want to just show headlines with links to the post page.
