- I work for a large company that uses Postini for Enterprise spam filtering and it does a fantastic job. It's actually famous for being one of the very few spam filter capable of blocking UCEs from the "Cajun Spam King" (No, Scelson doesn't sound very Cajun to me...). And in researching for this article, I …
Read More - Last week, I attended the Web 2.0 Expo at Mascone Center in San Francisco where I watched Steve Souders of Yahoo speak. His workshop was titled High Performance Webpages and has a yet-to-be published O'reilly book by the same name (though the Rough Cuts version is currently available for download). The basis of his …
Read More I apologize for the duplicate posts that appeared in "all y'all's" RSS readers; I signed up with Feedburner a few days ago and it slightly changed the content of the feeds.
I'm surprised I signed up with FeedBurner, honestly. As someone who's hosted my own mail/dns/web/database/everything since 1998, I've …

Strangely, I could only find "Longhorn Beta 3 Escrow" which became available on April 9th. I'm guessing that this version is newer than the April CTP but I'm not sure. Anyone know what …
Read More Last night, my computer fell asleep and I decided not to wake it. Experience taught me that Hibernate was much more reliable but I decided, eh, it's already Sleeping and I should be too.
This morning, after a public transit meltdown in San Francisco, I made it into work a mere 3 minutes before the managing partner was …
Read More- Yesterday, while eating and drinking in North Beach SF, I stumbled upon an event put on byJon Brumit called "Bring Your Own Big Wheel." What a trip :-D Imagine adults, dressed up as super heros and other oddities, racing big wheels down a very steep, very windey road. There were a ton of wipe-outs and scrapes …
Read More Aw yaille! I just wrote up a whole explanatory blog post then lost it so this one will likely be brief... or not.
Recently, we found that one of our DNS servers was resolving external hostnames unacceptably slow -- about 5 seconds, give or take. The resolution was so slow, in fact, that all of the clients hopped on to …
Read More- I've loved my laptop since the day we met. If you are in the market for a fast, lightweight, decent looking computer, you too may be happy with a Dell XPS M1210.
