Welcome Slashdot Readers

November 2, 2003

Wow. Slashdot, Slashdot, Salon, and Wired, all on the same weekend. My upstream is going to love me. My SDSL bridge is pegged at 100%…so the slow speeds are due to a bandwidth bottleneck, not a server bottleneck. The Web server isn’t even breaking a sweat.

Panther – Mail.app Synchronize Problems

November 1, 2003

I narrowed down the problem where Mail.app kept freezing while checking all of my IMAP folders. If “Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes” is checked and multiple IMAP folders are being synchronized at the same time, Mail.app seems to freeze for an extended period of time. The only way to recover seems to be to force quit […]

Dimensional Spam Generator

Brian McWilliams has written another article spotlighting Robert Todino after his most recent round of alleged spam attacks. Multiple sites were maliciously forged in this set of emails and, according to Brian, this seems to be a retaliatory strike against multiple authors who were reporting on Robert or the time travel spam. I was hit […]

Welcome Salon.com Readers

October 30, 2003

I guess the Low Carb Hackers article featuring yours truly finally came out because my servers are getting totally slammed. Luckily, it’s a bandwidth bottleneck and not a server bottleneck. Unfortunately, Katharine linked directly to my Eat Watch page instead of my blog, but no worries. Anyway, I feel almost guilty that you’re reading my […]

Hackers on Atkins

Article: Hackers on Atkins By: Katharine Mieszkowski Katharine ran across Inert Ramblings while doing Web searches for hackers and geeks losing weight on Atkins. She contacted me via email, started up a dialogue, and started the interview process after I sent her a short bio.

Panther – Mail.app ate itself…

October 29, 2003

After upgrading from Jaguar to Panther, Mail.app ate itself. Every time the client started it froze on a reading mailbox dialog box, no menus were clickable and mail wasn’t being synced. Removing all of my IMAP accounts and rebuilding all of them solved the problem. No biggie…a small annoyance. But that’s why I rely on […]

Friday all-hands meeting…

October 24, 2003

We’re half an hour late for our Friday 4:00 PM all-hands meeting. Why? No beer. Out of Guinness. One of our guys needed to do a beer run before we could kick off the meeting. I love my job.

Copies of the Todino spam…

Copies of the spams that Robert Todino is sending are available from Google: inertramblings.com davesplanet.net A more complete listing of all reported spams advertising quickeasysolution.com and cashgiveawayprogram.com is also available.

Making a list, spamming it twice…

October 23, 2003

Robert Todino seems to be going down the list of domain names that have been reporting on him. Brian McWilliams, author of Turn Back the Spam of Time, reports that he received spam from Robert with forged davesplanet.net headers. I guess Robert has decided to show us his gratitude by flooding our mailboxes with hundreds […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

    What’s the best way to wind down after a hard day of trail building and mountain biking? Alcohol and bacon of course!

With Chippoke’s Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Bacon Grease Infused Bacon Crumble Brown Sugar Caramelized Ghost Chile Chex Mix! […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh! From their Web site: It was my wish for our children to benefit from these same outdoor adventures as well as my passion for […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]
