Tip of the Day: Secure Your Gmail
From the “Why Didn’t I Think of That” department: GMailSecure has got to be one of the most elegantly simple, yet useful Greasemonkey scripts ever. When I say simple, I mean one line of code: location.href = location.href.replace(/^http:/, ‘https:’); This script ensures your Gmail session using Firefox takes place over a secure HTTP connection providing [...]

Wow. A whole 2/10 of a pound overnight! The pounds are just melting off! Things went okay yesterday, but I did eat a bit more than I should have at dinner. I didn’t get my second walk in either. Not off to a perfect start. Today for breakfast: a bowl of whole grain cereal, half [...]

I publicly committed to begin a weight-management and exercise program on my return from Houston. I tipped the scales today at 181.6, and am shooting for 170 by April 30. So here it goes.

Just as I begin to rely on it, IMified is down. It was hit-and-miss for me all weekend, and completely down today. I guess that’s why it’s called beta.

Each weekend I say to myself, “I’ll polish off the last of the ice cream on Sunday, and then Monday morning I’ll start eating right, running again, and drop about 10 pounds.” It’s Monday, and here I sit in front of the computer, eating a handful of chocolate chips, the pounds slowly creeping on. I [...]

Every page on my site is taking for-flippin’-ever to load. What’s the deal?! Sent support request to Dreamhost… 4 hours 27 minutes later and not a word. Tweaked wp-cache and enabled FastCGI, but still no joy. Are all the rants about Dreamhost right?

If you haven’t tried Starbucks’ Tazo Green Tea Frappuccino Blended Crème, you just don’t know what you are missing. It’s a wonderfully sweet, creamy blend, topped with whipped cream. The best way to enjoy these is during the summer when it’s served as the Blackberry Green Tea Frappuccino Blended Crème. During the winter, I simply [...]
