I hate IE! Went to see Master and Commander… and stuff

I would have posted this yesterday if my net connection hadn’t died *stabs Comcast* I hate Internet Explorer. It fails to follow standard techniques to determine the content type of a file. This caused a lot of trouble for me today, since Zope’s method of defining the content type is standard. My pages worked properly […]

zope on apache, and my day yesterday… mmm brownie sundae

I got zope running on apache this morning, I was having a lot of trouble at first, using this how-to because it says to put certain info in one section of the httpd.conf file, but it really needed to be added in another, after the modules are loaded. Of course it took me a while […]

more about zope… it can run on apache!

I was looking around yesterday for more stuff I could do with Zope that would “look neat and impressive” and I discovered DevShed.com’s Zope Section. This is a collection of guides talking about the basics of DTML, to the basic of page templates (which I REALLY need to work on) to getting Zope to work […]

Philly Chix meeting, and “you look like someone who would be from Maine”

It’s sunny today, but still windy. It’s not as windy as it was yesterday, the downed trees from that wind caused quite a problem for people driving home last night. Luckily we didn’t encounter any problems while driving down to the philly chix meeting last night. Erin picked me up yesteday evening around 7. The […]

I feel good today. This morning I was able to tackle the user security stuff that was driving me nuts in Zope. It seems my trouble had a lot to do with mozilla and opera caching too much information, so even when I restarted them the users weren’t working properly, so I’d change user attributes […]

*insert something interesting here*

I think my trouble with writing this past week was my mood. Each time I had some time to write I just wanted to complain about something, and I complain too much, and often it’s stupid stuff. I haven’t exactly gotten out of the complaining mood, but I have progressed a bit so that my […]

i have a cold, and more zope stuff…

Well I never did end up doing anything particularly interesting this weekend. Unfortunately that was mostly because I was sick. Yep, I got caught by the demon of colds. I probably should have expected it, with the change in weather and all. Today I’m feeling a bit better, I could actually breath a little better […]

Just some unimportant ramblings…

I guess I just haven’t been in a writing mood lately. Yesterday, let’s see. I got up, did the weekly cleaning for a couple hours, did some more studying zope stuff. Took breaks to look through my mp3s, I had a lot of crap in there, and there was some stuff that I never listen […]

More learning, more people that annoy me, nice rainy weather.

I didn’t say anything yesterday, so I probably should today. I spent a lot of time today with Zope. Ignored IRC more than usual (by actually making myself not have it open) and focused completely on stuff I needed to work on. I got it playing nicely with MySQL, it’s all pretty neat. I have […]

mplayer how-to in french, miserable day, more zope, new shoes.

Today started off nicely. I got two emails about my mplayer how-to, both thanking me for it. One of them was an offer from someone to host a french translation on their website! It was quite flattering. They emailed me back this afternoon with a link to their page: http://ernest.cheska.net/mplayer/mplayer.shtml. Unfortunately for some reason I […]
