Some of the most generous folks I know sit right across from me. For example, Issa dropped off a box stuffed full of previously loved Mac goodies for me at the office this past week. There was also a plastic grocery bag worth of floppies and manuals, but the really good stuff was in the … More

Many, many moons ago, I jotted down an item on my to do list entitled ‘Upgrade Rumpus’. That item ended up getting migrated from old list to new list and new list again for at least two years. For those who aren’t familiar with Rumpus, it’s the natty little FTP server that I use for … More
