If anyone knows about preventing SQL injection I’m looking for some (hopefully free) help. I have a PCI scan failure and I’m stumped!

It already seems to be all over Twitter but I’d like to reiterate: the Chromium devs must restore the “Pin Tab” feature! Please!

Interesting that the iPad’s dock connector forces docking in the portrait orientation. Not ideal for video.

I have two errant “Chromium Helper” processes running after I quit Chromium on OS X. They are using 100% of CPU. Thinking I should kill ‘em.

So Sonic’s lights turned off as I was pulling in at 10:20 PM. First, it seems way early. Second, 20 after the hour is an odd time to close.

Class is finally over! Now it’s time for my traditional after-school excursion to Sonic.

Thoughts on the BCS Championship from an OU Fan/Alumnus

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 19:46:03 -0600

As much as I hate Texas, which was clearly demonstrated to me as I sat around the State Fair of Texas after that abysmal OU/TX game, I can’t help but approach this BCS title game as I approach the World Series. My White Sox are an AL Central team so, no matter how much I hate the other AL Central teams during the regular season, if one of them makes it to the postseason (hopefully my White Sox), I support them. I’ll be the biggest Twins, Royals, Indians, or Tigers fan in the world if my other choice is a NL team. Similarly, if there’s no AL Central team, I’ll go for the AL team every time. Angels? I’m a fan. Yankees? Well, that’s a tough one, but I’ll live. Red Sox, all the way. So, applying this logic to college football, I’m sad to say that I have to secretly hope that Texas wins, if only to prove the dominance of the Big 12. It doesn’t mean I like Texas (never, I hate them), but that I like the Big 12 better than anything else out there.

Every summer I bemoan the state of Chicago-area highways. All winter long I give thanks for the very thing that destroys them. Salt FTW.

My first real-world use of Dragon Dictation on the iPhone: I read it my shopping list and it listened. Now I won’t forget anything.
