RSA = EMC security division
0 Comments Published by webmaster September 18th, 2006 in Uncategorized, work.Today, RSA is officially part of EMC. There’s even a mini web site explaining the merger.

The main reason this is blogged is because I’m testing a post from Flickr. However, there’s a story to the mousepad in the photo. It mysteriously showed up on my desk while I was out at lunch. Apparently, the support staff got new mousepads. The newer […]
Nice glass — Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro
0 Comments Published by webmaster September 17th, 2006 in photography.Well, I did some looking around on the Nikonians forums and I found decent praise for this lens: the Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO DG Macro.

Messing with PHP and CSS
0 Comments Published by webmaster September 3rd, 2006 in webdev, site news.I know I’m not a full time coder (and all of you full time web developers will make fun of me), but I’m glad I got a few things working today. After switching to WordPress (and leaving a lot of Mambo CMS content behind), I decided I wanted to try modifying themes. I […]
Today, Debbie had her teeth worked on. A graft of her her upper palate was taken and sewn to her lower gum. It’s this:

So I guess the procedure isn’t horrible, but it sure does prevent eating pretty well. That, along with a couple doses of coedine can upset one’s stomach. Poor […]
