http://www.danconley.net Relax, don't worry, use a database Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:42:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I actually have been posting, but instead of random self-absorbed crap on here it's been stuff about zombies and George Gale & Co, which is probably much more interesting. That, or self absorbed and obscure. However, here's a quick today-only special: Firefly the complete series is on Amazon's Goldbox for $17.99: ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/08/04/you-cant-take-the-sky-from-me/ Cleaning up, I found a notepad from what I assume is the CIRRIE ICF conference from last year. There are three lines: ICF-CY form (Lollar?) <3 "terminological" (the first line makes sense; I think the CY is the children's version, and I recognize the name of Don Lollar, but the rest...) http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/08/01/i-have-no-idea-what-this-means/ I know what you're thinking: Dan, you post too much! I know, right? Well, because my activity on this site is so fast and furious, I thought I'd spread it out more. I'm now writing on two other sites. I never claimed to have good judgment... Gaming Shenanigans is a new ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/07/04/because-i-had-too-much-free-time-as-it-was/ In talking with my boss yesterday about brewing in Buffalo, she reminded me that the Erie County website has a map of Buffalo from 1894. You can click on the red numebrs in each section to zoom in, and there's a surprising amount of detail provided: the type of building, ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/25/im-the-map-im-the-map-im-the-map/ I've talked about it before, but I really can't stress how great Amazon's mp3 service is: in addition to generally being cheaper than CDs and iTunes (and being DRM-free), they also have a deal of the day. I'm currently downloading Synchronicity by the Police, which I just purchased for two ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/24/legal-music-on-the-cheap/ There's a post or two itself in the train of thought of how I get here, but for now just accept that we've arrived. I've recently started reading Shut Up About Barclay Perkins. I really should have started when I was linked to his post on whether Kolsch was an ale, ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/18/brewing-in-buffalo/ If you want me to download your browser to set a world record, perhaps you should let me download it. Almost two hours after it was supposed to be available, the servers are finally on... about half the time. And then when I tried to download it... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/17/dear-firefox/ The Saturday before Memorial Day, while Elizabeth worked, I drove to the farmer's market on Bidwell. I haven't been there since, as I've been busy for one reason or another, but I'll probably go back again this week. I'll bike, most likely, because going to a farmer's market isn't quite ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/16/sadomasochistic-snacking/ Today I dragged Elizabeth out to Eden (she still wants to move there and plant a garden) for a workshop on cider and perry. I'm not sure if the host is a member of the Niagara Association of Homebrewers (or the Sultans of Swig), but there were definitely some NAH ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/15/cider-and-perry/ I've been struggling with how to handle my laptop. I want all my music on it, but I'd also like to upgrade to Leopard and use Boot Camp to play the Sims games I got at Circuit City last week during their sale. I decided on Sunday to get an ... http://www.danconley.net/index.php/2008/06/03/goodbye-iphoto/
