I cleaned my Powerbook’s desktop off this morning. The script is now posted at: Making Webloc Archives. My script merely reads the .webloc files, extracts the url, grabs the site’s favicon if there is noe, then uploads the link to a web site.

My delegate is still spamming
My elected official, who obviously believes that opt-out is only for suckers, is now on my mail server’s blocklist. Bad riddance. I reported her again. This time she was connected through a Comcast connection. Let’s see if they can get her to stop. Of course, I won’t know, since I shouldn’t see her drivel any [...]
What’s in your menu bar?
I change the items in my menu bar every few months. As of March 8, 2006 this is what I had:

GizmoProject: VOIP client, $5 month for an incoming phone number, portable to any computer

Web Browser Usage
While cleaning my office, I found some ancient web server logs. I started playing with them and realized I could run a web browser chart to see how popular various web browsers really are. The site these logs are generated from is a small site that is not actively updated any longer. I don’t want [...]
My State Delegate spams, or at least doesn’t honor opt-out requests
I was once a part of my state delegate’s bill reading group, as well as have talked with her about issues in the past. But now she emails me at my regular email address, not the tagged one I asked her to use. So I finally have filed a spam repor. Hopefully the postmaster -at- [...]
Guess what happens on March 26, 2006
If the current trends were to somehow magically hold steady through the end of the month, I’ll pass someone else’s Alexa rank on March 26, 2006. Here’s proof (after all, if there is a cool chart [well, it's not real cool, this is just a quick and dirty Excel chart], it must be true!)
