  • A (round-about) story about Jeffry P. Bezos

    The following is what i wrote on “43people.com” about the boss. I thought it was worth keeping in my own archives, since it’s actually a story about my life as it pertains to Mr. Bezos. Back a few years ago, I was taking some classes down in Edmonds. The one I’m thinking of in particular…

  • ad blocking

    add “*click*” to your adblock filter list. You’ll be happier. Really. spammers suck.

  • Bind configuration cleaned up

    Okay. That wasn’t so bad. Now I need to find out whether people are querying colliertech.org or ns1.colliertech.org and ns2.colliertech.org. If colliertech.org is still getting the brunt of the requests, I need to find out how I misconfigured bind and then fix it.

  • spam is getting on my nerves again

    I’m getting too many pieces of spam per diem, so I’ve turned on my “forward to the feds” procmail rule. Enjoy!

  • Would someone just buy one of these?

    I wish they would stop airing this commercial on http://di.fm/. If you buy one, maybe a) the site will run better and b) they’ll stop f*cking bothering me.

  • Morewellian

    A friend of mine and I were talking about working at the evil empire and the politics, culture and happenings that occur there. She said that she felt that has an Orwellian feeling to it. She quickly retorted, saying that it was more than Orwellian. It was Morewellian! I thought this was quite humorous, and…
