I can’t log in to either of my hosted gmail accounts. Anyone else? UPDATE: I contacted gmail support and apparently they occasionally lock accounts due to suspicious activity. I think I had two different hosted gmail accounts open in tabs in the same browser. Very suspicious. Their suggestion: contact them. The response: occasionally we lock […]

It took me about an hour to catch one of these. I shot this with probably the worst choice in camera. A Canon Powershot S50 which is awesome for everything but time lapse photography. It has a 15 second maximum exposure and you have to wait 15 seconds after each exposure while the camera processes. […]

I just posted my first entry on Geojoey in a while. I’m in Colorado this week and spent yesterday fishing an amazing little river in the Rockies about 50 miles west of Colorado Springs called the Dream Stream by the locals. Full entry on Geojoey.com.

I just drove from Seattle to Denver where I’m spending a week. We took the northern route through Montana and I stopped and did a tiny bit of fishing in the Clarke Fork and Yellowstone rivers. I just caught one small rainbow on a dry fly in the clarke fork which wasn’t bad considering it […]

Jake Brown fell 40 feet and landed so hard in the transition at the X-Games last night that his shoes flew off. Forward to the end of the vid and watch the slowmo version. Brown spent Thursday night in a local hospital, where he was treated for a bleeding liver, two sprained wrists, a bruised […]

If you’re a bit of a sci-fi fan, a bit of a maritime adventure fan, like all things engineering, then I have just the book for you. The Ice Limit is one of the best paperbacks I’ve read for a very very long time.

Marc Andreessen has a great post on the collapse of the Sowood hedge fund recently. Reading this I have a weird sense of deja-vu. LTCM collapsed while I was working at Credit Suisse First Boston in Canary Wharf, London. CSFB lost about $700 million. Around the same time the Russian economy took a dip and […]

After getting a TON of work done today I drove up to the South Fork of the Snoqualmie river to fish a secret spot I’ve discovered fairly high up in the mountains. There’s a forgotten path down to the river, you scramble over some rocks, slide down a small waterfall, boulder around a bend in […]

I’m busy decommissioning an old server I’ve had for almost a year. I’ve used it for dev and testing and installed a bunch of crap on it. It has never required a reboot and has been busily chugging away. Here’s it’s uptime: 11:20:46 up 333 days, 8:13, 1 user, load average: 1.02, 1.34, 1.21 The […]

I couldn’t find any docs on compiling mod_perl2 alongside php5 with apache 2.2, so hopefully this helps someone. I’ve always statically compiled mod_perl into apache, but the easiest way to get mod_perl to play nice with PHP under apache2 is to compile them as DSO’s or dynamic modules that are inserted at runtime. I’ve tested […]
