I don't know how this works.

I want to claim the blog for technorati.

Journalists have a fairly high set of ethical standards. Disclosure of things like personal interests in a news story are extremely important. In interviews, journalists usually disclose agreed-to limitations on the type of questions they were not allowed to ask.

Why don't bloggers have to do this?

Here's my disclosure: About the only thing I won't be talking about in my blog is work. Just can't do it. First, my employer is in an extremely competitive business where even the slightest business intelligence leak can cause a great deal of damage. Second, and perhaps more importantly, my employer's brand is extremely valuable and well-protected - making any statements that affect the perception or value of the brand, whether on purpose or mistake, can cause me a lot of grief at work.

I had occasion to look at my apache logs for my web sites and noticed that there are a number of folks pulling rss feeds from my site. No problem yet, but I'm really kind of surprised.

I didn't think anybody really cared what I had to say, honestly.

Well, maybe now I have an incentive to write more ;-)

I'm seriously considering a switch to pyblosxom. While I really dig drupal, I'm running an old version and there are way too many features for me to play with and I'm always worried about security.

The blosxom model looks so attractive to me, and if I can get it in Python, so much the better...

Anybody with experience bad or good with pyblosxom, please email me.

I turned 30 today.

It probably surprises a number of folks that I'm only 30.

I feel a lot older today.

Ok, on to the next 30 years of my life.

I just got spam referring to today's major east coast blackout. Just about 5 hours after it happened.

How efficient!
