So my quick run through webalizer yesterday made me realize that my site is getting some (more) serious traffic (than before at least).  I ran across an announcement for Google Analytics and went ahead and signed up.  What is really nice is that there is already a WP plugin that quickly integrates the code necessary…

Alhough it’s not open to the public, I have started up a little “labs” site behind the fireweall to enable me to try out some of the more interesting open source and web 2.0 applications that I run across now and again. Here’s what I’m looking at in the labs right now: Zimbra Tribox MediaWiki…

So in addition to a small (unplanned) upgrade to my home mahcine, my new work machine finally came in this week.  It is a a new Intel Core Duo Tablet PC from HP, the TC4400.  It is a more traditional style tablet PC (a so called “convertible”) than my previous TC1100 (a slate).  I was…
