Lots of Words
February 04, 2005

I stopped by BlogBinders today to see what it would take to turn the blog into a book. As it turns out, just the posts (not the comments) in a regular-sized paperback would about to over 1100 pages. Just 2004 was more pages than could be perfect-bound. Wow, yeah!

In case you were wondering, you can get BlogBinders to work with WordPress even though it’s not advertised. Just pick the MovableType option for a blog type, then put the xmlrpc.php page for your site into the XMLRPC field. For this site, it’s just “http://www.asymptomatic.net/xmlrpc.php". The xmlrpc.php file comes with WordPress and is installed in the blog root. The blog index is always “1” for WordPress.

Palm Springs?
February 04, 2005

I was looking around here the other day for a post about our trip to Palm Springs. As it turns out, I never wrote it. Combined with a demand from Berta to organize our photo collection for her availability, I decided to look for our photos from the trip. That’s when I discovered why I never wrote a post about Palm Springs.

There are 255 photos from our Palm Springs trip according to Picasa. The truth is that I know I used two CDs for our pictures because I ran out of space on the first one. So there are plenty more photos on one of these other mini-CDs. I have a little GameCude binder with more CDs in it that are supposed to fit. Some are labeled, some are not, and most CDs have sessions that were not closed. Since I don’t have a packet driver for my CD-R (or at least, one that is compatible with these disks), this is causing problems.

State of the Union

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything about politics. This is mostly because every time I do, I feel like I’m going to have to be hospitalized for high blood pressure. Nonetheless, here I go softly…

I didn’t watch it.
