According to Dave Davis at CHUD, the big, lovable cartoon goofball Johnny Bravo is coming to the big screen. And, amazingly, he's to be played by The Rock. It'll be worth it just to see the Rock in a huge, yellow Elvis wig. :-)

I have been watching this opensource project for a while, and have now finally commissioned its use on our website.Turck MMCache is a free open source PHP accelerator, optimizer, encoder and dynamic content cache for PHP. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. Also it uses some optimizations to speed up execution of PHP scripts. Turck MMCache typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.The benchmarks are pretty impressive. Check it out here.

Howdy. You all.Deadlines still have me on the floor, but I just figured I'd check in with a few quick words after finishing up a script that I finally managed to nail down, with Sarah's aid. Things aren't much better than before work-wise, it seems every job has managed to spiral out of control and everything's taking longer than even my worst case scenario-a-tron indicated, but fingers crossed we'll have things under some sort of control by the end of the year. Every time it looks like I'm going to catch up a bit, something has been tossed in the way. A couple of weeks ago a tree fell from our yard into the neighbor's yard after a windstorm (no tree service could come to even give us an estimate for days, so Sarah and I sawed up and carried the tree ourselves. No small task for a pink-handed dandy like myself. We still have to cut and cart the chopped up sections stranded in our yard when we find the time, oy, such a mess). Our tv finally conked for good, which was a pain in the ...

This script is designed to allow you to keep copies of email you send on your local system, not on the Blitzmail server. It saves each message in your "Sent Msgs" folder to a specified folder on your local disk, then moves the messages to a blizmail folder called "Saved Sent Msgs". The ability to select the folders with a UI will come in a future version.

I am futzing around with my spiffy new Garmin eTrex Vista GPS and Garmin's Mapsource software. Peter and I are traveling to Iowa City at the end of this week for Peter's brother's wedding. We're flying in to O'Hare and driving to Iowa City. So, I being a geek with a new GPS wanted to download the turn by turn driving instructions and map from the Mapsource software on my PC to my eTrex. The route downloaded to my GPS just fine. But there are no turn by turn instructions. Instead, abbreviated names are printed for the turn by turn points but no actual directions. I realize that the eTrex being a GPS may not need turn by turns - one just follows along with the satellite and turns where the map says to turn. But I like a backup. What if we're in the midst of a solar flare and the satellites aren't working? And speaking of a backup, at the very least, I'd like to be able to print the turn by turn instructions from my computer. But that doesn't seem to be possible either. Time to check ...
