From glen to glen, and down the mountainside. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling. [...] And I, too, must go. Andy http://lardbucket.org/blog/archives/2008/08/19/last-post/ Well, this was written way back when it seemed like a good idea, and it's finally polished enough to actually release. Yay, something I actually finished! On the off chance you might have some recycling that needs to be taken out (and you should..), this random little tool will let you ... http://lardbucket.org/blog/archives/2008/07/07/launching-recycling-reminder/ What happened to the old, existing protocols for everything? Why did JSON and Web 2.0 replace lightweight protocols for chat, discussions, and communication?

In this one, he does a rendition of Michael Bublé's "Feeling Good," along with Chris.

(This was my fortune cookie from the Chinese food we had for dinner today.) Andy Schmitz http://lardbucket.org/blog/archives/2007/12/15/listen/ (Picture: Salvation Army kettle nearly full) So, I've pretty much decided to stop with the whole "blog post a day" thing. And it has nothing to do with it no longer being November, honest. I just can't really think of anything interesting to say every day, and posts have started to ... http://lardbucket.org/blog/archives/2007/12/02/and-so-it-ends/ So, today in photos: I rang bells for the Salvation Army today. It was kinda interesting, actually: About half the people will donate at least something. Also, saying "Thank you" makes them really happy, but that's pretty much always the case.
