Agile Tortoise

Archive for October, 2001

Thanks for all the congrats that are pooring in…fraid I don’t have time to answer them individually right now. I’m sure once the babies are back home I’ll have time to catch up ( OK, that sentence exhibited temporary insanity — think I better just go back to the hospital now ).

Turtle Dice updates

I posted slightly updated versions of Turtle Dice for Windows and Mac OS X today. The Mac OS X version is now compatible w/ 10.1, and the Windows version is ready for XP and hopefully fixes a few minor bugs that have been reported.

XML-RPC for Axapta project

I’ve posted my XML-RPC client for Axapta. No one who reads this site has Axapta, so that’s probably not that useful to any of you — but I wanted it to have a home.

Wayback Machine

Archive.org is neat! I had no idea it was there until Dave pointed to it today. It’s an archive of the web…check out it’s old views of UNo MAS, my e-zine. Unfortunately, it’s seems to only archive the text, and the images have since moved around, but it’s still fun to see [...]

XML-RPC in Axapta

I spent the better part of today doing something I’ve been meaning to get around to for some time…writing an XML-RPC client for Axapta, the ERP application I program for at work.
I had already laid some of the groundwork, extending wrapper classes for the WinInet API…and Axapta already has wrapper classes for the MS-XML parser, [...]

Gourds, Shinebox

The Gourds new one is out…well, sort of new one. They re-released the EP Gogityourshinebox as a full length release, Shinebox with a bunch of new tracks added…mostly featuring Max Johnston, the newest member of the band. As usual, it’s great stuff…you should give it a listen.

iPod

iPod’s pretty cool. I want one. I think I’d use it hooked up to my stereo as much as I did as a walkman — but so what. it’s neat.

Of course, at $400, I think I can resist it for now. It’s more of a $200 gadget, I think.

Babies, week 35

While she’s tolerated things quite well to date, the pregnancy is definitely starting to take it’s toll on Kt. It’s awful hard to sleep when you measure about 47 weeks pregnant on the singleton scale…and while a good sign, those babies are active in there, always kickin’ and bumpin’ — plus it’s allergy season.

Really, [...]

House of Frankenstein

October’s always a good month for horror movies on TV. Last night, we watched House of Frankenstein…one of the less grand late Univeral Studios horror movies. As usual, poor Boris Karloff put in a good performance that was lost in the sea of crappy ones around him. Even John Carradine ( dad [...]

Oops, I broke OS X

Well, in my typically casual way…I played around with some permissions settings of various System folder items in my OS X installation, and first I hosed Classic — which refused to launch because it wasn’t launching as root ( it would launch logged in as root )…and then in trying to put things back to [...]

Bukka

I picked up the Complete Bukka White at the used CD store last night. Bukka knows the blues.

“Gonna get up in the mornin’, baby, with the risin’ sun
If this train don’t run, gonna be some walkin’ done”

Bukka’s a great name ( pronounced BOOK-KAH, really a nickname for “Booker” — as in “Booker T. Washington [...]

Windows XP

I think I’m going to decorate for Halloween by putting a bunch of Windows XP logos around the front of my house. It’s the scariest thing around these days.

c|net is running a multi-part piece on what all Microsoft is really trying to do…very interesting read.
