The quote of the night at tonight’s Denver Tech Meetup comes to us from Peter Williams: Give me text and set me free. That’s just begging to be put on a t-shirt.

See y’all there in ~3 hours or so.

A new plugin I created for alexking.org 2.0 is a simple banner to indicate the age of the post that is shown in the comments form1. This is one of the changes I made to add context that I forgot to mention on my navigation post. To see it in action, browse the archives here.…

Our second BarCamp event in Colorado is happening this weekend.
I plan to be there Saturday.

Note: This is the third in a series of articles about the building of alexking.org 2.0. The old site navigation was basically in several parts: The main tree menu along the left Breadcrumbs and landing pages Blog archives, categories and search in the blog sidebar Not too much has changed fundamentally in the new design,…

I was very pleased to discover that John Elway Subaru in Golden, CO has free WiFi now. This is a somewhat recent addition, it wasn’t here a few months ago. Just a public service announcement for all of my readers that live in the Golden area and drive Subarus. 🙂

I’ve gotten a number of e-mails (strangely no comments) asking if I’m: still using Vebio1 for my invoicing, and if I’d still recommend the service. The answer to both questions is yes. Having automated monthly invoicing means one less thing I need to think about – I love it. Vebio also added logging expenses (and…

Those that fear a takeover by the out-of-touch left should realize that it’s not liberal candidates who are doing well. Instead, Democrats will be welcoming in junior members who are not ideological automatons and will add much needed gravity to the party’s right flank.

This is why I can feel comfortable rooting for a Democratic victory—because, if it goes well, it could also be a centrist victory. The Democrats would be a much stronger and far more effective party if they could just turn towards the political middle. This election could put them on that path.
Go centrists!

For those of you in the area, the Denver Tech Meetup is on for Thursday.
I’m hoping to attend both.

If you live in the US and you are old enough, make sure you get out and vote today. If you don’t vote, you can’t bitch. As such, I dropped off my absentee ballot already. 🙂

Note: This is the second in a series of articles about the building of alexking.org 2.0. It was probably in early 2004 when I started feeling enough dissatisfaction with my site that I wanted to re-build it. I took some of those thoughts and put them into the Tasks Pro™ web site I built in…

There is a security option in Mac OS X to require you to enter your password when waking from sleep. I have this enabled. This option, unfortunately, has some rather annoying side effects. A number of apps that use the system keychain (Adium, Shrook, Chicken of the VNC) all require you to re-authenticate as they…

And it makes me mad. I still think of myself as a Republican- but I think the whole party has been hijacked by frauds and religionists and crooks and liars and corporate shills, and it frustrates me to no end to see my former friends enabling them, and I wonder ‘Why can’t they see what I see?� I don’t think I am crazy, I don’t think my beliefs have changed radically, and I don’t think I have been (as suggested by others) brainwashed by my commentariat.
Can traditional republicans reclaim their party? What will it take?
(Thanks Donklephant)

I released a new version of my Popularity Contest plugin for WordPress to fix some bugs in the 1.2 release. Many thanks to those that opened threads for these bugs in the WordPress Support forums and pointed me to them. The updated download is available on my WordPress Plugins page. If you have any trouble…
