Shaving cream rant

By Michael Palmer |  Jul 11, 2003  | #ranting | 1 min read
Why is it that when I squirt it into my hand, the bottle continues to leak shaving cream juice out. As I’m shaving I continuously find myself wiping the damn shaving cream can’s spurt hole to get the leakage out. It’s annoying but I can’t help it. Why can’t Gillete make a spurt hole that doesn’t leak after i press the button, or maybe they could at least let it leak for a minute or so, that wouldnt be that bad.

It’s amazing how times have changed. This site : Suzie’s Retro Pin Up B-sides is a 42 page collection of 50’s pin-ups. Check some of them out. Its neat to see what was considered pornography back then, is casual nudity today. Just going to a bar I see worse nudity than that from the general population of women.

Pretty cool that I’m seeing an ariel view of some place I went, once in my life thats about 1500 miles away from home.

26things to photograph

By Michael Palmer |  Jul 3, 2003  | #photography | 1 min read
Ok, so I decided to start working on a webpage for the 26things project. I’m trying to keep the layout very clean and simple. I’ve already got 4 out of the 26 categories done. I don’t know if I should put all 26 on the index page, or if I should have multiple index pages, and only show 4 per page, thus creating 6 total index pages.. hrm. I guess I’ll decide when the time comes where I’m getting closer to completing all 26 categories.

The National Do not call Registry is up! Finally they’re doing something about phone-spam. Now for the next step, a national do not spam registry for email! haha that would be one HUGE database. Most telemarketers cannot call your telephone number if it is in the National Do Not Call Registry. You can register your home and mobile phone numbers for free. Your registration will be effective for five years.

Livejournal Sux

By Michael Palmer |  Jun 25, 2003  | #web-programming | 1 min read
Biggest mistake I ever did was install a livejournal server. This software is VERY unmanageable. I want to be able to delete all these damn duplicate users, I also want reports of how many entries users have made and how long its been since they’ve logged in. Unfortunately there is nothing for this. All I have to work with is the damn admin console. I can’t even list users with that.
