How embarrassing…
This site has been down for about 9 months. It just hasn’t been a priority for me to try to fix it after switching to Google Fiber. I Finally got it back up because I wanted to grab my own timelapse script again, but the site was down! The reason this site was down, is […]

I’ve always liked timelapse video, and have been trying to capture a timelapse of christmas morning every year. This year I found a super simple way to get a timelapse going. Using fswebcam, you can capture a timelapse super easily. Here is a one line timelapse command.

Dang domains….
I’ve had lots of domains over the years, and I have let many expire. Some however, I have lost because I could either not afford to keep them, or lost because they slipped through the cracks. I’m not very organized, and currently have domains under at least 7 accounts through at least 4 registrars. Here […]

What can I learn from my server logs?
I’m finding that my server logs have a wealth of interesting sites that cover news quickly and accurately. I’ll most likely be combing through the logs for interesting patterns for a while. If anyone has ideas about what to look for, I’m open to them.
HN Top post, Post mortem
I recently protested Google Fiber, and miraculously they decided to change their terms of service in response. I tweeted about it, (but didn’t include a url), and made a post on Hacker News that spent a while at the top of the page yesterday. I was forwarding GoogleProtest.com to Crossies.com/pissed.html. I didn’t know how much […]

The MEAN stack pt.2: Mongodb

The MEAN stack pt.1: Prep
After hearing about Angular.js and learning a little more about the benefits of reduced context switching, I decided to investigate the MEAN stack. I had a little trouble getting things going, but after getting it set up, I finally feel like I have almost all of a clean miniature production environment to develop in. There […]
