A Gift Idea for All You Chris Daly Haters

Posted on December 19, 2006 by | Leave a comment

I’m breaking radio silence as I make plans for both my sites for 2007 to let all of you who are really mad that Supervisor Chris Daly won that there’s a present you can send each other – or to Supervisor Chris!
Bear in mind that in San Francisco all you have to do to rile people up is to use the words “Chris” and “Daly” in the same posting. As in “I went to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and had a steak, then went to Daly City to particpate in the cultural offerings thereof” to get yourself spammed and attacked by They Who Dare Not Say Their Name (AKA message board posters!)
Anyway, back to our story…
Whilst shopping around town for gifts for family and friends, I saw this display at Scandinavian Details in the Hayes Valley/Civic Center area of town.
pee_and_pooNo I am not making this up.
The Japanese have made plush toys out of Pee and Poo.
So there you have it. Why not send one to SF SOS, the nemesis of Mr. Daly? Or, buy a set for Mr. Daly himself? Or, if you’re really that worked up, why not send a set to Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Daly City just because, well, you’re mad that nefarous Chris Daly won!
See? Life’s good and just. And the Japanese have an easy, low cost way to make it all Good. Go for it!

Technical Difficulties Part 2…

Posted on December 11, 2006 by | Leave a comment

As I indicated on my other website, I’ve not been able to post many updates as I’m dealing with a number of technical problems that are taking up a lot of my time as I seek a long term solution, rather than put up with band-aid solutions.
In particular, I’ve been dealing with an enormous amount of spam email, more than my mail program can filter out, it seems. Also, the trackbacks (but not comments) are being spammed to the point where it’s slowing down the performance of the system that run this site, as I have to delete literally 100s of false trackbacks to sites promoting “mobile phones” and “ringtones” and more. It’s a real hassle, and I’m looking for a better way to filter all this crap out besides just deleting the notification emails and deleting everything by hand. There are some other technical issues I’ve been working on as well, but I’m not going to bore ya with the details. Suffice to say if I’d taken more computer classes I’d be getting some much needed upgrades and changes done a lot faster.
Other things are coming up, including some significant changes to this site, but you’ll have to keep reading to find out what those might be!
