stay, stay.

29 November 2006

Yesterday I was able to close out a longstanding enhancement request in Bugzilla: presenting feedback to the user about the current status of the index.

chicken is a vital link in nature’s chain

1 November 2006

I had a very weird illness experience last night. After dinner with Brette and Phil I started feeling kinda weird. It’s tough to describe, but I was tired, cloudy, and my skin seemed overly sensitive to touch. This lasted for about an hour until I began to shiver uncontrollably. I felt [...]
