San Diego Links!
I’ve had a delightful time watching WebSanDiego.org San Diego User-Provided Web Links evolve over the last few days. Great technical links from lots of technical people.
Early to Work, Meeting Tonight
And yes, it’s time to go to work now! Or at least time for a shower and time to get my act together. Tonight I’m going to the SDMMUG meeting—Click here for more information. If you’re there, say hi!
Harry Potter? No, Panther Moderns!
Scientist invents Harry Potter invisibility cloak got posted to a mailing list I’m on. My response was:
Harry Potter my ass. That’s a Panther Moderns Chameleon Suit!And here and now it is slowly coming to pass.Neuromancer” author=”William Gibson” pubdate=”1984”> “Go,” he said. The Hosaka had accessed its array of libraries, journals, and news services. The precis began with a long hold on a color still that Case at first assumed was a collage of some kind, a boy’s face snipped from another image and glued to a photograph of a paint-scrawled wall. Dark eyes, epicanthic folds obviously the result of surgery, an angry dusting of acne across pale narrow cheeks. The Hosaka released the freeze; the boy moved, flowing with the sinister grace of a mime pretending to be a jungle predator. His body was nearly invisible, an abstract pattern approximating the scribbled brickwork sliding smoothly across his tight one piece. Mimetic polycarbon.
Welcome to the future.
Home
New gig rocked. Cold Fusion. Stored Procedures. Application.cfm. Dreamweaver MX. SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Windows 2000 Professional. Nice people. Downtown San Diego. Walking distance of the Bay. Bought a Bus Pass. Got a hot dog at Horton Plaza. CFAdministrator. Development > Staging > Production. Windows Permissions Errors (always fun!). It’s a good gig. I’m honestly not sure I really want to say the name of the company here at this point. Google reads this blog too much, and a search for their domain wil probably turn me up in a search for the company if I mention it here. So for now I’ll not say. You can email me if you really want to hear where it is, but in the meantime I’m keeping it in stealth mode for now. So. Cool.
Upshot, I can now pay some bills which are hideously in arrears and probably killing my credit report as we speak. I’m still in debt, but this is going to be cashflow I really need to survive.
Onward.
Zappa and Family
Jenny (yes that Jennifer) sent me a great link: THE ROCK FAMILY AFFAIR: Frank Zappa.
Thanks Jenny!
New Gig
I start the new gig today. Wish me luck.
San Diego Bloggers in the San Diego Union-Tribune
Check this out—A penny for your blogs—which mentions prominently my hand-maintained site San Diego Bloggers, as well as several local sites:
Matt Pitcher is quoted, though his url is not, and there are mentions of: Photogeek.org, Horologium.net, The Fishing Caper, CrazySaddam.com, USS Clueless, and Scott Koenig.
Sure wish I’d gotten mentioned. But I must say, it’s nice to have my site used so prominently as a resource for a U-T story.

Goldmine, Zappa, SQL Server
Frank Zappa: Not just another artist from L.A. is a great article from Goldmine: The Collectors Record and Compact Disc marketplace. I’m doing housecleaning and wanted to find an online url for it. I was thinking of ditching the paper aticle and linking to it here. Unfortunately, their url www.goldminemag.com currently bounces you to this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error ‘80040e14’It’s too bad, because the article is good – biographical information, notes on collecible Zappa records, and such. Looks like Goldmine needs a SQL Server administrator.
The log file for database ‘Collect_commerce’ is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
/include/std_profile_lib.asp , line 79
Looks like I’m going to hang onto the magazine.
