Online backups?
- February 23, 2007
- James Skemp
I was reading an article the other day, which was discussing a companies backup plan. It's suicidal for companies, in this day and age, not to have some kind of backup plan in place (and, most importantly, tested). Yet, for home users, especially those with important documents on their computers, it's almost approaching suicidal.
There's ways to do these backups by burning to CD or DVD, of course, and even Windows seems to have something built in (or at least my HP computer with a DVD-burner does), but you actually have to run the utility, and put a disc in the drive.
The cause of the salmonella outbreaks?

If you listen to the news media, salmonella outbreaks are on a rampage. Spinach, cantaloupe, and now peanut butter. Unfortunately, the cause of these isn't being investigated successfully. The cause, and on Prince Harry:
Schopenhauer's Prefaces to The World as Will and Representation
- February 11, 2007
- James Skemp
Arthur Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation (Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung) went through three editions in Schopenhauer's lifetime, and accordingly there are three prefaces, one for each edition. The first was written in 1818, the second in 1844, and the third in 1859.
Today I'll be looking at the preface of each of the three editions, and providing an analysis of what he has attempted to get across within each.
Google shortening it's name in AdSense?
- February 11, 2007
- James Skemp
After making a post a short time ago (this post moved to rest before it), I ran into an interesting site; in place of 'Google' in the AdSense banner text "Ads by Google", there was the small Google image, used in the address bar or tab, for those browsers that support it.
Fox 47 News at 9 (Madison WI) is pretty dang bad ...
- February 4, 2007
- James Skemp
Normally I wouldn't waste my time writing on something like this, but after almost 30 minutes, I've just got to say it (hopefully it will get some other local voice to agree or disagree, or otherwise shed some additional light on this): Fox 47 News at 9 borders on horrid.

Since neither by themselves would make a full post, two items in one.
Not impressed by the WordPress 2.1 feature list
- January 22, 2007
- James Skemp
WordPress 2.1 was released today and, unfortunately, I'm just not horribly impressed by the new feature list. Granted, it's a short feature list, but I see few reasons to upgrade. The main reason? Most of these features look like they're geared towards non-technical/shared-hosting users.
Browser support for different versions of JavaScript
- January 19, 2007
- James Skemp
After a number of Google searches, I've been unable to find a listing of what browsers support what versions of JavaScript. The few sites I did find were AnyBrowser.com and Mozilla.org. Unfortunately, the information they provide is pretty focused. In this article I'll be going over this information, and trying to dig up more.
