If anyone has been trying to send me e-mail over the last couple of days, please re-send (Also GMail icon in right-hand column). Looks like the place in Canada where I hosted the domain pulled the records. My fault: didn’t pay them.
But I simply moved the DNS info to the place where the domain is registered and that is that!
Should be back to normal in a couple of days. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Added the Beta Technorati Searchlet to the right-hand menu (scroll down a bit you lazy people! <smile> ).
Let me know if it works for you!

TDavid turned me on to PSPad. [here]
Like TDavid, I have been a fervent Notetab user for years. But the lack of development on Notetab and the native syntax highlighting and built-in hex editor make PSPad very appealing to me.
I will try it and I will see.

Port80 tells a great story about a product that they had in the pipe that would prevent bandwidth leeching (defined in the post). [here]
Their observation that technology that could do this would be of particular interest to purveyors of adult-oriented sites does not surprise me. However, their rationale for stopping development was not based on any moral issues; the fact is that LAMP development platforms are preferred in this industry because of their cost.
Now, I am sure that some enterprising Apache hacker could very quickly develop a functional module that would plug right onto the server to deliver on some of the basic design elements laid out by the Port80 Team. This would be a benefit to both the IIS and Apache communities, as interest in this feature would push for a similar feature in IIS, allowing Port80 to finally release this software.
Rightly or wrongly, porn has fueled a large number of the developments in the open source community. My place is not to judge; it is to benefit from the advancements.
Last night I built a new dedicated database server for my applications. Up until this morning, the databases resided on the same machine as the Web server.
The new DB server has less RAM than the Webserver, but has much faster SCSI drives, with plural being the operative word. Data lives on one physical device, and apps on another. The Web server currently only has one physical drive, which meant lots of thrashing on large queries.
If you experience any weirdness, let me know.
There is a slight chance that I could be going to Germany at the end of the month, so I need some help.
I am looking for reader comments/suggestion on a solid, robust, multi-country power adapter for my emergency bag (I fly off to foreign countries to solve Web performance issues almost daily — NOT!).
So far I am looking at the Kensington or the Belkin. But I want to hear what you folks out in radio-land can contribute to my buying decision.
Thanks!
For those who who like GTD photos.

I do as little as I can to promote Google, as they are adept at doing it themselves. However, today’s logo celebrates the life of one the American greats: the arrogant, bombastic, conceited, brilliant architectural genius, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Wright.
