Just downloaded TortoiseSVN, which I hope is as good as its CVS cousin.

OverBlogging
You know you blog wayyyy too much when… I answered yes to a scary number of those.
Sexy Names
What’s in a Name? Well, Matt Is Sexier Than Paul. Darn tootin’.
Fragile
Wham Bam Tram
The story of a streetcar named disaster. I live right next to these things and drive by them every day.
The Village
Saw M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village earlier tonight. It was very interesting, I’d recommend it. Bryce Dallas Howard was gorgeous.
Everything OK
Thanks to everyone that wrote in. I am okay, I just haven’t had anything to post in a day or so. I guess when people get used to a deluge of content every day if that stops people get worried. Sarah got back from her two week tour of China a few days ago so I’ve been seeing her a lot.
Perl Special Variables
OpenSSH for Windows
OpenSSH for Windows, where was this when I needed it last month?
A Walk
I’ve had a lot of things on my mind lately so earlier tonight I went to the park to clear my thoughts the best way I know how, thinking through everything. It’s one of my favorite places in Houston but I haven’t been in a while because the weather has been pretty warm and I’ve been pretty busy. It’s night and a the wind rustles pleasantly as I stroll to my favorite thinking spot. Someone is there and unsure of what to do I keep walking with no real destination in mind. I come to a spot that just a short while ago was a dry bed of concrete and a mess of construction, but it has become a long reflecting pool with comfortable benches and a relaxing fountain at the end. This new part of the park is a tribute to the Washington Monument. It’s perfect. When life pushes you beyond where you’re comfortable that’s often where you’ll find the most rewarding experience.

Anyone seen this user agent in their logs? Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows NT; ....../1.0 )
Internet Advertising
Death of internet advertising. Hat tip: Politech.
CMS Icons
Stock icons geared toward CMS use from the great folks at Firewheel. I wish we could use something like this in WP. Don’t buy them for us! Read the comments.
Phil Returns
Phil Ringnalda is back! Going on hiatus without warning worries people.
Greenfield and Technorati
Adam Greenfield gets refund from Technorati and explanation of what went wrong, however the rest of us are left in the dark. Airing your grievances in public is a good way to get a response from a company, but the squeaky wheel approach to communication doesn’t seem it would scale.
Gmail Contacts
Gmail can now import contacts from a variety of CSV sources but there doesn’t seem to be any way to export contacts. Don’t be greedy!
Saying Hello
Esmerel: Reasons for Saying Hello. Hat tip: Waffle.
Bash 3.0
Bash 3.0 released, looks like some neat stuff. My favorite bash tip is to put set completion-ignore-case On in your .inputrc file for case-insensitive completion. Lately I’ve been playing with zsh and it seems very powerful.
