The eclipse was a bust…

May 16, 2003

It was completely overcast in Haverhill so the eclipse was obscured. Ohwell. At least we had a Webcam to stare at. Instead of heading up to the field in Amesbury to sit in the middle of a wet field on an overcast night we all sat down and watched Shrek and an episode of Real […]

The Hacker’s Diet

May 15, 2003

The Hacker’s Diet, by John Walker, is the first weight loss system that I’ve tried that I fully understand and can completely wrap my brain around. The free ebook takes an engineering approach to weight loss and explains the ins and outs of the metabolism using the common sense theory that the human body is […]

Lunar Eclipse

There will be a lunar eclipse this evening starting around 9:00 PM EST. Kelly, Brian and myself will be heading up North and camping out in a rather large field for a few hours to check it out. Perhaps we’ll run into some other dirty Pagans.

Dangers of trusting your service providers…

March 31, 2003

It appears that OnlineNIC, a discount bulk domain registrar that caters to domain squatters, has been attacked and their Web servers are unavailable. We had to deal with them about a year ago to transfer a domain name away from a squatter in Korea and found their customer support extremely lacking. On top of that, […]

No caffeine for a week; no more headaches…

February 27, 2003

With the exception of the caffeine contained in the Xenadrine-EFX, I have completely eliminated caffeine from my diet. I haven’t had any Diet Coke or coffee for over a week now and have been feeling great! I’ve also been “forcing” myself to drink bottled water or sparkling water with lunch and that has really helped. […]

Xenadrine-EFX, day three…

February 25, 2003

It’s all good! All of the strange side effects that I experienced over the first two days have almost completely subsided. No more dry mouth or extreme thirst. I’m no longer lightheaded. No more sleep deprivation caffeine-like high. My body feels like it’s more or less back to normal with the exception that I now […]

I started using Xenadrine-EFX yesterday…

February 24, 2003

The silver bullet… People are constantly saying that there is no magic weight loss drug because, if there were, it would be all over the news and there would be no such thing as obesity. I agree with that viewpoint completely but also believe that we should take advantage of every little thing that may […]

Faq-O-Matic LDAP Authentication

December 19, 2002

I’ve created a quick and dirty hack that allows LDAP authentication from within Faq-O-Matic. The hack is quite simple uses UIDs from an LDAP directory to authenticate instead of Faq-O-Matic specific email addresses.

Domain Support Group

November 8, 2002

This entry has nothing to do with the car; it is simply search engine fodder. I received a cold call on my mobile phone from the Domain Support Group trying to scam me into accepting information regarding “important changes to the Internet that effect my domain name”. These guys are simply trying to sell .info, […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]
  • Chippoke’s Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Bacon Grease Infused Bacon Crumble Brown Sugar Caramelized Ghost Chile Chex Mix
    What’s the best way to wind down after a hard day of trail building and mountain biking? Alcohol and bacon of course!

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh! From their Web site: It was my wish for our children to benefit from these same outdoor adventures as well as my passion for […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]
