I just heard a review on Fresh Air of a movie called You, Me and Everyone We Know. I would watch this movie based on the review. The trouble is, I don’t watch movies in the theater, I watch them on DVD, and this movie won’t come out on DVD for some time.

Yahoo has a nice feature. They allow me to create my own grid of TV listings. I enter my service (Comcast Cable) and they let me select up to 60 channels to display in a grid. Since I only care about many less than 60 channels, this is a nice feature and I go to [...]

I decided that I wished that my Movable Type activity log display were sorted in reverse order, so that the most recent activity was at the top of the page. A couple of minutes poking around in the source showed me the line that I need to change to reverse the sort order of the [...]

If you use Thunderbird to read your e-mail, adding a sender to your Address book will cause any remote images in their messages to be displayed automatically.
That’s all you need to know really. If you want to know why Thunderbird blocks images in the first place read on.
I use Thunderbird as my mail client. [...]

I got around to implementing Sender Policy Framework (SPF) on my own incoming mail. I was inspired by 1) not having seen any bounced spam with my return address since I added an SPF record and 2) not being sure that I had done it correctly and so worrying that the mail I was now [...]

So far they aren’t auto discoverable.
I had to jump [...]

Two feature requests for Movable Type.
Posting dates should be publish dates.
The two posts prior to this one Gulag at Guantanamo and Amnesty International Doesn’t Need Me are marked as being posted at 8:06 and 11:07 pm respectively. For example, the line after the Gulag post says, “Posted by Ray Baxter at 08:06 PM”
This posting time [...]

I have added Geo-tags to the blog. If you live nearby, I’ll be looking out for you. When Google send their trucks out to do 3-D mapping of San Francisco, maybe you can locate my house.
Down there on the lower left, near the end of my blogroll is a search at blogdigger.com for all the [...]

Yeah! We have mail coming from the warmroom.com domain.
My ISP, Earthlink, blocks port 25, making it impossible for me to send mail from the warmroom.com domain to anyone except Earthlink Or Mindspring customers.
I can receive e-mail because I use the MailHop service from DynDNS, but I cannot send mail. Using MailHop, DynDNS receives my mail, [...]

Can anyone explain to me why the Movable Type activity log insists on using UTC instead of my local time zone?
