Apologies if you’ve recently posted a comment on this blog, and had not heard back from me (I try to respond to all comments whenever I can). Seems that my Gmail account for receiving comment alerts began flagging them as spam. Seems the address for comment alerts was also not among my contacts. Seems odd [...]
I still don’t have time to write anything coherent. So, in lieu of — and as a tip of the hat to — my inability to do so, I give you this:They didn’t study Via Scribd. Oh my god that’s hilarious.
Hello out there, oh loyal, faithful readers. All three of you. Just wanted to pop in and say hi. It’s been a solid month since I’ve posted anything, and that’s pretty unusual. I’ve even stopped responding to comments, which is almost unheard of. Unfortunately it’s been somewhat out of my control. Both work and life [...]
There are a couple more new and improved features of Google’s Blogger Beta, which this blog now uses, that I just wanted to mention because they’re really quite cool. The first new feature is the “Search This Blog” feature. This has been around since I’ve been using Blogger, so it’s not really new per se, [...]
Well, as per an earlier article, I’m transitioning to the new Blogger, which is currently in beta. But it seems to be working fairly well for me. So far. I have to say the folks at Google have done a terrific job making this transition downright seamless. All I had to do to switch over [...]
Google Blog Search is broken. Which means my Series are broken. In fact, I’d say Google searching in general has gotten noticeably worse lately. (Has anyone else noticed this?)

I just read a terrific article entitled “The Elements Of Style: UNIX As Literature” by “feral information theorist” Thomas Scoville. In it, Scoville proposes that UNIX has a certain appeal to literary types because of its reliance on text rather than image, and that the GUI has really been successful because we live in an [...]
So I realized recently that the one year anniversary of this blog was coming, and as of today, May 29, 2006, TASB is one year old. It was exactly one year ago that I posted my first blog entry. Frankly I’m kind of surprised I’m still here. I posted my first entry — and started [...]
Today sees a spate of short new posts. Generally I tend to write long, rambling posts, but there have been a number of things I’ve noticed of late on my system that I wanted to write about. Mostly just small Mac OS X observations, and a hint or two and a troubleshooting post as well. [...]
I’m pleased as punch. Happy as a clam. A kid in a candy store. A pig in shit. Seems The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) noticed my latest post on launchd and Lingon and linked to it. For those of you unfamiliar with TUAW, it’s a great blog about general Apple goings-on. It has numerous writers, [...]
