Daylight Savings Time Rant
CROSSPOSTED FROM IMAGESPACE--ARTS AND WEB 2.0
Today I updated our ReplayTVs for the new daylight savings times. It comprises a rather convoluted process of erasing the ZIP code on the unit and then putting the ZIP back. This got me thinking about the insanity of Daylight Savings.

The Search for a GREAT FTP Client
CROSSPOSTED FROM IMAGESPACE--ARTS AND WEB 2.0

Basically FTP allows you to move files from one computer--your local computer, to a second computer--often a server. It was originally developed for UNIX and is a main-stay for those developing Web sites.

Drupal Adsense Injector
CROSSPOSTED FROM IMAGESPACE--ARTS AND WEB 2.0
I'm always looking for ways to effectively onetime my site. Adsense hasn't been too terribly successful for me and I suspect--with advice from my brother--that a big part has been placement. I have been placing Adsense ads in the right column, a little too low and in the footer.

Last night my daughter was baptized at the Wesley Foundation in Boulder. The Foundation is a United Methodist chapel that serves the student population mostly. What is the connection? My wife was the office manager there over a decade ago, she was baptized there by Eric Smith. Eric, in turn, married Paula and I in the Wesley Foundation in 1997.
