Bizarre. My self-signed SSL certificate I use to access my email using IMAP over SLL expired last week. The real significance is that we’ve been on this server for one year now. Compared to how painful working on the old Redhat 7.2 install we had back then, working with a Debian system has been a […]
Jeremy Zawodny steps up to the plate in defense of Web Developers, once again. Writing a good application no matter waht is going to be demanding, it’s just easier to roll something/anything out using php+javascript than with a "real" programming language. In effect, what I see is that php / javascript programming has a much
Subversion is a great replacement for CVS and a very productive tool for managing code. I began using it last year to track my changes and apply them across my sites. The New Yorg PHP group has a really informative and extensive presentation on using SVN, from setting it up to practical tips for using
Over at the Sports Law Blog, they have the schedule for the upcoming Future of Sports Law Symposium at Willamette University College of Law. It sounds like an interesting round up of speakers and topics. I think some MLS teams should send representatives to some of the sessions. Chivas-USA staff might be interested in "Foreign
I’m not sure how I missed this but via the Sports Economist, I saw today that Sunil Gulati’s first move as president of the USSF was to reduce the USSF board from 40 to 15. I guess this move is meant to reduce some of the political infighting between the amateur and professional wings of
The New York Red Bulls site is up now. For a team that didn’t exist until today,it’s curious to see that they drew with Chivas 3 days ago (someone forgot to photoshop that metrostars crest and edit the copy), lost to houston (same), waived Leitch and Regan, and re-acquired Steve Joley (can you say he’s
One of my favorit bloggers from Cafe Hayek is having a “back-and-forth on inequality” at the Wall Street Journal Econoblog. Is the “growing” inqueality really a problem or threat to our society. I’m not convinced, and I think its usually misused as an umbrella for other societal problems (ie inequality of opportunity, which is different).
A common resason I hear for not getting a Tivo is a reluctance to pay a monthly fee for little more than the electronic TV guide. Never mind that your cable company also charges you a monthly fee for your DVR, or that the generic DVRs have a horrible user interface and don’t have wonderful
Via Bruce’s Belly, it looks like the sale of the Metrostars to Red Bull is all but done. Red Bull, yes the one that gives you wings, also bought a team in Austria and totally rebranded it. I’ve left comments on a couple blogs with my thoughts, but its worth summarizing them here. The team
Uh oh, coca production in Bolivia "has exploded". Apparently, coca acreage has risien in Peru and Bolivia because of aggressive anti-drug efforts in Colombia. So, basically the US war on drugs, specifically the coca eradication tactic, has managed to move coca production. Hurray, must be time to ask Congress for more money to fight the
