We have been in Wasaga Beach, Ontario for the last four days, and it is a wonderful place to turn off your brain.
So far we have spent the weekend celebrating ZenWife’s grandmother’s 100th birthday, then we have decided to do as little as possible. Shopping in Collingwood (without the boys; go Grandparents!), and hanging with the family are the plans for the rest of the week.
If you need me, I’m dead. 🙂

I would like to thank you for developing a great product. I rely on it daily to host my own sites, and a large number of people on the Internet seem to share my love of this software.
However, it appears that you seem to want to maintain a simple flaw in your logic that continues to make me crazy. I am a Web performance analyst, and at least once a week I sigh, and shake my head whenever I stoop to use Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) to visit secure sites.
I seems that in your SSL configurations, you continue to assume that ALL versions of MSIE can’t handle persistent connections under SSL/TLS.
Is this true? Is a bug initially caught in MSIE 5.x (5.0??) still valid for MSIE 6.0/7.0?
The short answer is: I don’t know.
It seems that no one in the Apache server team has bothered to go back and see if the current versions of MSIE — we are trying to track down the last three people use MSIE 5.x and help them — still share this problem.
In the meantime, can you change your SSL exclusion RegEx to something more, relevant for 2007?
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive
ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE [1-5].*"
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE [6-9].*"
ssl-unclean-shutdownPlease? PLEASE? It’s so easy…and would solve so many performance problems…
Please?
Thank you.

So, last week, I did it. I dropped Paxil/paroxetine/seroxat completely from my medicines. Seems that other medical issues I am having are aggravated by the stuff, so after 7.5 years, it’s gone.
The withdrawal shouldn’t be as bad for me as it is for most people, as I am on pretty high doses of the mood-stabilizer Trileptal. Still, it should be an interesting couple of weeks.
I have been using Skype as a landline pretty exclusively for the last 6 months, but the quality of the service has been degrading rapidly. Today, I called ZenWife from the office and she said it sounded like I was calling from inside a tin can.
So, on a recommendation from a co-worker, I am giving Gizmo a try. Pretty immediately, I noticed a quality improvement over Skype, and people on my conference calls said it was much better.
So, if you want to reach me, try spierzchala on Gizmo, or +1-508-635-4420.
And Skype, let me know when your quality improves.

Last night, I spent over an hour on the phone with three very friendly and helpful T-Mobile tech support representatives, and guess what? The troublesome Samsung T619 I slammed a couple of weeks ago is now able to send and receive text messages.
I was impressed with the efficiency of the T-Mobile team, and the Tier 2 team I ended up with was thorough. It took two Over-the-air updates to fix the phone, but it’s done and I’m happy.
Can’t take back the bad comment, but hope I can counter it with some good words.

I spent mine helping to bottle 65 cases of custom peach wine up here at the Sweetgrass Farm Winery. Keith and Constance are having a local open house tomorrow, and the doors open wide on Memorial Day Weekend.
They have apple and peach wine, and blueberry gin.
And the peach wine? Yummmmmm.

I have finally given up on Trillian releasing a new version anytime before the next ice age, and switched to the the messenger client formerly known as GAIM, now known as Pidgin.
Solid, functional, and showing signs that it is in active development. Unlike Trillian, which is slowly becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of messenger clients.
I’m sorry, but promising a cool new product, and then not letting anyone try it leads to scores of new Pidgin users.

The client visit this week (and don’t expect too many details) was to MySpace. It is interesting to get an inside perspective on their performance challenges, as well as their beyond unique infrastructure.
I am bagged, and off to write up a document for another client.
