Early June Poker Success 🙂
OK, I really can’t wait until the end of the month to write this report. Not so much because I want to brag, but more because I have every expectation that I will lose it back, and the drama won’t be there when all is said and done. 😉 So, June has only had two…

May Poker Results
Wow, May was not a good month. At least not economically. Let’s lead off with the bottom line, because it’s ugly, and I want to get it out of the way: -$74.09. Whew. I could go on and on about how many unlucky hands I had, and it would be true, but it would be…

DKIM and Thunderbird 2.0
In an effort to get a handle on who is signing messages with DKIM, I just added a message filter which automatically tags and stars any message that has been signed. I can now visually see which domains/users are DKIM-enabled, and get a sense for whether the mass is coming, and how quickly, etc. This…

DKIM now installed
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is now running on my server. I don’t think there are enough sites using it yet for it to have been worth my effort (it was more effort than I expected it to be), but now it’s done, so we’ll see. Of course, if everyone else also said “It’s not worth…

So close, and yet, so far…
Well, the semi-final started at 8pm. 1931 entrants, top 100 move on to the final, so roughly 5% make it… When there were 184 left, I was in 82nd, so it was looking possible, if not probable. Then I went card dead. When there were 113 left, I was in 113th. Still, I got A3…

Temporary success against the odds 😉
I’ll save the normal monthly poker update for the end of the month, where it belongs. 😉 In the meantime, I’ll report on an interim success story, which might not have a happy ending, but at least had a happy beginning. 🙂 Today, I played in a tournament in the morning, and did OK, but…

Sometimes technology lets you down 🙁
I forced myself to take my long walk today. As usual, I am extremely glad that I did, but for one thing. I walk with an iPod, with a Logitech Bluetooth headset. For the first leg of my walk, I was listening to Wicked (I know, huge surprise) 😉 but in the middle of “Wonderful”,…

Martina McBride Rules!
This could easily get very long, so either settle in, or bail now, seriously! 🙂 Last night, Lois and I went to Radio City Music Hall to see Martina McBride perform. From past posts (or if you just happen to know us), you know that Lois is a country music fanatic. However, for all of…

Twitter
In early March, I discovered Twitter by reading this post on Jamie’s blog. I immediately signed up for an account. Even though Jamie’s blog claimed that he didn’t see an immediate application for it, I did. Lois and I follow the lives of our godchildren via their away messages. 🙂 That’s useful, but not ideal.…

Welcome WordPress 2.2 🙂
Announcement went out 35 minutes ago, and I’ve already successfully upgraded. Haven’t touched anything that’s new, but here it is, waiting to be abused. 🙂
