mod_rewrite and http auth with .htaccess
Monday, September 25th, 2006I spent a good portion of the last two days trying to get iCal to publish calendars to my PHPiCalendar installation using publish.ical.php. Whenever I tried to add auth in my /calendar/calendars/.htaccess with something like this I’d get a 404 error displayed by wordpress:
new look
Monday, September 25th, 2006It’s that time of the year again — just a couple of months until my domain name registration needs renewed. Since I’ve been piggybacking on a friend’s hosting service for the past couple years and since I’ll have left Manhattan by this time next year, I decided that maybe it was time to start [...]

CIS 308
Sunday, January 22nd, 2006I feel the need to write something about CIS 308 and the experience that I’ve had with it over the past few months. The trouble is, I don’t really know how to say what I want without sounding arrogant, condescending, or resentful…. go figure.

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005A story:
Last Wednesday my iBook started flaking out, but I refused to admit that it was dying so I kept fiddling with it. By Thursday it refused to boot 90% of the time, and I knew it was going to require parting with my laptop for a week or more for it to get [...]
nbench results
Sunday, November 13th, 2005Tomorrow is the K-SLUG installfest, and in the interest of being prepared to assist users with installing Gentoo using a package CD, I slapped an AMD64 Gentoo install on and used the package CD to install xfce, screen, vim, and a host of other goodies. All of this in under 2 hours while watching [...]
impulse purchase
Friday, September 30th, 2005Well, the other day I was browsing around Klipsch’s website because I’ve been extremely happy with the ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speakers that I purchased a few months ago. When looking at their clearance merchandise, I saw that they were offering refurbished ProMedia GMX D-5.1 speakers for 99 + shipping. After reading some reviews, [...]
