The server exceeded its 500MB capacity, my home page went blank, and I believe some emails bounced. I’m in a trash-and-burn mood now. I just deleted my entire photo gallery – whether I have backups or not. However I might have to stop hosting other people’s sites on my account, because I might do some …
Month: March 2005
A package arrived today – from Acmabooks.com. I ordered three books from them and it arrived a week earlier than expected – all in mint condition (that earns brownie points). It all started off when I got roped in as the pianist for our forthcoming company production – a musical farewell to our much-loved CEO. …
Today at work, I received 89 emails, and sent 65 emails (all work-related, of course.) Over the weekend and on Monday, I received over 100 emails. On a related note, I should start a Lotus Notes rant one day.

You see, it all started with me posting a picture I took of a stack of Touche bottles (it’s a pleasant sort of champagne-beer …
The Guardian News Blog (through Wired) mentions a new tool that rides on other search engines, looking for people’s names. Keying in my first and last name fetched two results, one of which was a correct reference to myself on Zeldman’s External page. However it got my description jumbled up with the next website listed …
I picked up three books this weekend, all web-related: Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook by Dan Cederholm Submit Now: Designing Persuasive Websites by Andrew Chak The Unusually Useful Web Book by June Cohen I was planning to get Dan Cederholm’s book for some time.

I just set up iChat(AIM) our iMac to connect with AIM on a laptop PC (my sister’s). At first we had some trouble viewing video on the iMac, but it turned out to be a configuration oversight on the PC. In the meantime I had done some Googling and even though this comprehensive article didn’t …
