My Battle with Impotence
June 15, 2005

Before you go thinking this is a case of TMI (Too Much Information), consider that I’m not talking about me, but about a D&D spell that has been accredited to me in a net book.

Yes, there is a book on the web called the AD&D Book of Sex, and in it there is a spell called Impotence. If you look at the “Thanks” section at the bottom of the page, you’ll find someone named “Owen Winkler” is thanked for his help on the Impotence spell. The thing is, I don’t remember having anything to do with it.

QMail Aliases
June 15, 2005

I have finally mastered the art of adding aliases to QMail.

I needed a wildcard setup to handle the spam-squishing mechanism that I’ve been using for a while. As it turn out, QMail has some of this type of functionality built in, but it’s not the same format as what I’ve been using. So I created a new wildcard alias rule in the “assign” file, and it seems to be working fine.

Scary Flash Thingie
June 15, 2005

I’ve been searching for a while and I can’t seem to find any reference to this web thing that I know everyone saw. Maybe you can help?

Basically, you load the page and you see a photo. The one I saw was of a messy walk-in closet with mirror, but the content of the photo doesn’t really matter. The text around the picture says something like, “If you keep your eyes fixed on this photo, you will eventually see an actual spirit emerge from the image!” There might have been a story that goes along with it on a pre-load page or something.

Another Doofus Strikes!

If it’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s people who come around looking for WordPress support who don’t bother to search. Look to the top-right. Observe the search box, beconing.

You should search for the problem or plugin or topic that you wish to ask questions about, and then add your comment to an appropriate post. Do not add your comment, for example, to a post about my friend that recently died.

Assuming that you can’t find a related post, however improbable that is, my email is at the very bottom of the page, linked where it says “Owen Winkler”. At the bottom of every page, in fact. Now it’s not an actual email address, since it’s encoded so it won’t be harvested by spammers, but if you don’t have the intelligence to decrypt it, I don’t want your email anyway.

Of course, there will always be morons. This is the tale of a moron in bloom…
