Web Economy Bullshit Generator

I had seen this a few years ago but Charlotte reminded me of it. It’s still perfectly relevant. I got a(nother) hoot out of it.

FLG references

I just thought this was cool. An artist in Ventura, CA contacted FLG looking for help with a permanent fire & water installation art piece for a restaurant/bar. An email went to the list with all the particulars. One bit stands out in my eye…

The burning man office suggested I call you.

600 Comment Spams per day

I’m now getting 600 comment spams per day. Phew. Spam Karma is keeping up with them but jeez….

If you leave a comment and get a crazy error, don’t worry. Spam Karma’s Captcha test is broken somehow. If you get the error, it means Spam Karma tried to give you the Captcha test but barfed. I’ll get around to “approving” your comment in a day or three. Sorry about the inconvenience.

 update 6-22-07:   I fixed the captcha test a while back.

New Long Distance

saveonphone.com recommended ECG long distance so I switched. I’ll tell you in a couple months if they are any good.

Installed WP-DB-Backup 1.7

The old backup program had some issue when I moved servers. This one doesn’t have any issues. I didn’t install the very latest 1.7, I installed a slightly older one because it wasn’t compatible with WP1.5

I’ve seen some of his pieces in San Francisco. Wow.

Where to park near the Dover NJ NJ Transit train station

dover-train
Use the large triangular parking lot to the left. The train station is just above and to the right. The train and station is on Dickerson St. (If this map doesn’t work any more, look for “50 S Morris St, Dover, NJ 07801”. Across the street to the west of it is a large parking lot. 50 yards to the north and then 20 yards east is the Dover train station.)

Note that most of the spaces are “Monthly Permit only”. Some of them are 12 hour meters. It’s like $3 for 12 hours. The lot closes at 10 or 11pm… They don’t close the gate but you might get a $30 parking ticket after that time.

If you plan on getting there late and staying late, you might be better off with street meter parking near the station… though I haven’t tried that.
