Ok, I’m a week or so late, but here’s a summary of what I posted about in August of 2008….
This. Just. Sucks.
I got sick coming back from a trip out to VA and DC. Was laid up for bout a week.
Christmas in August
This is a recipe for my all time favorite holiday cookie. They can be made any time, but my family traditionally has them for Christmas. Gonna have to work on a WLS friendly version for this year.
Fan-Fiction: Copyright Versus Plagiarism
A bit of a discussion on the copyright issues around fan-fiction.
I never did get Tweeting – not sure I get Denting either.
I’ve been on Twitter for quite awhile.. last year I actually started using Identi.ca – I’ve posted over 3000 tweets/dents in the last year. Guess I kinda get it now…?
Bringing Ubuntu to the World, One PC at a Time
A bit about setting up a friend’s retired dad with Ubuntu instead of Windows after failing to get all the virus and crud off the computer for him.
Make someone smile
A rare link to another site for me… still a good read.
Adding a Tag Cloud Page to WordPress
Last year I was pushing 500 tags in my tag cloud, now it’s just under 800. That may not be a good thing.
Where’s Your Line?
My own look at cyber-bullying.
On a personal note, this time last year I was pushing 380 pounds. Today I’m under 235. That’s 145 pounds gone forever. More than my sister weighs… she says it’s like I lost a whole person. Unfortunately it isn’t her I lost… (just kidding!)
That’s it for this months round-up, see ya in a few weeks!
The whole topic of cyber-bullying is pretty big these days. Typically it is associated with teens and sites like myspace, facebook and what not. But in the wide world of the web, it can be pretty easy for adults to treat others rather poorly as well.
