...a little part of the world dies.

I think you'll admit it's kind of catchy after awhile.

korinthenkacker [core-in-ten-cuck-er] (noun)
A "raisin pooper" -- that is, someone so taken up with life's trivial detail that they spend all day crapping raisins. You can spot these types a mile off -- it's that irritating pen pusher or filing fanatic whose favorite job is tidying up the stationery cupboard.
I'm about to show off the "post to blog" feature of WordPress to my spousal unit. She probably won't appreciate just how cool this is.
In preparation for getting rid of the hated, scumbag, banner-bedecked, used-to-be free, now charging $19.95/year email provider I've used to forward my emails for the past 10(!!) years, I've been going through my emails.
I found this little nugget floating around my inbox from my wife:
Just now! After three of four trips to the lavatory in the last half
hour, he finally pushed them out! And as soon as that first nugget
hit the water he said, "Now I can get the horse toy!" I tried to get
him to call to give you the news, but you know how he is about phones.
Still looking for a Wiki for my site. Since it supports PHP, perl, and Java (cgi -- bah), I have a number of items from which to choose. Finding the "right one" is proving to be problematic. I have WikiMedia, DokuWiki, and Blog:CMS (has a DokuWiki built in) installed on localhost.
Screw it, I can always change later.
However, with a wiki, there's a bit more involved if you change rendering engines. Although I could write an xform or pull down the site using the (hopefully supported) XMLRPC API, getting around to it is something else entirely. I suppose that should be considered a constraint.
EditThisPagePHP looks good for just knocking together page(s). I played around with it a bit, and it's really quite easy to install and use, but I don't think it really meets my needs.
Purple-T-Wiki meets this as well -- I could probably learn enough PHP to secure it. The only problem with it is the fact that everything is converted to lowercase. Bah.
Well-written software can be life-changing... Well, that's a bit much, but if you spend as much time in front of a monitor as I do, it can be time-saving at least.
Here's a few packages I don't leave home without. Literally -- they're on an Iomega Micro-mini USB Drive that's attached to my keychain. I'm lusting after the 1GB version so I can put a full-on cygwin distribution on it.
