Where Am I?

Experiment | Present | Site

You're at my new site.
Like my life, it is an experiment, and some things are broken.
Like my mind, it is full of junk and treasure.
Welcome. Please register to get to the yummy stuff.

Sour Grapes

Life | Present | Verse

fine line of twine
treacherous and serpentine
holds my crumbling mothballed mind
like a crick-crack creepy wall holds its vine.

Handy logrotate.d verification script (in Perl)

Artifact | Code | Open Source | Present | Past

This is a Perl script I wrote a while back as a housekeeping tool for Linux systems. It looks in /var/log and in /etc/logrotate.d, comparing the existing log files to the ones mentioned in your logrotate configuration files, producing a helpful list of which files are not being rotated.

Sorry, you can't see that.

Policy | Present | Site

You clicked on something you don't have permission to view.

If you have an account, you should login first, then try again.

If you don't have an account, you should sign up for one.

First vCalendar, then sleep, then iCalendar.

Code | Experiment | Open Source | Present

I'm patiently tring to get Drupal to sit up and do little tricks.

My latest effort is to add vCalendar support to its Events module. You can now go to any Events listing in the site, click on the little vCal link below it, and depending on how you've set up your computer, an appointment window should pop up that you can add to Outlook | Evolution | your favorite calendar software.

Where's Daniel's Résumé?

Life | Learning | Org Models | Present | Rant

It's gone. Bye-bye.

Yeah, well I woke up one morning and spontaneously elected to avoid being prematurely embalmed. Which meant giving up the fastidious, fetishistic, sisyphean habit of updating my obituary every few months.

Policy | Present | Site

This site is a personal part of my life, like my diary or my bedroom. Like those things, it is also (full of) my personal property. It is, in effect, my home on the Internet.

The main and first purpose of this Privacy Policy is to protect my privacy. Its second purpose is to protect the privacy of the site's registered members, so long as that second purpose does not conflict with the first.

Lyrics | Music | Open Source | Present

You’ve heard this once before
the sound of a slamming door
You hear nothing at all
as the door becomes a wall
