Sam Spade is a nifty freeware network utility. It allows you to do things like trace the route to a website, find out who owns a website, and what they're ad­min­is­tra­tive or abuse contact is, and will even parse email headers, so you can track down SPAM senders. Get it, and while you're at it check out sputum.org.

Ok, I think that I finally got all the stuff done (code wise) that I wanted on this site. Well, at least for this week. You'll notice that the menu is over on the right hand side of the main content, and should stay there for some time. If you would like to know which page has been updated lately then look for the different colors in the menu. The updated links should be a blue color, while everything else will stay drab. By the way, do NOT go to the links page, because it is broken. Telepath and I are working …continue.

I was reading this wonderful article, today, which made me realize that I'm not as open-minded and world-weary as I had thought. After travelling to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Italy, England, Germany, Canada (okay, that's not very far, nor very foreign, but it's a different culture) Jamaica, Costa Rica, Alaska (it seemed like a very different culture to me) and many states around the United States of America I thought that I was ex­pe­ri­enced in dealing with other cultures.

Loafy comes in first, but, well, we can't really expect to keep up with the Master, you know?

Anywho, it's been four months since I last dropped a line in here, and …continue.

Welp, another week in the Land of Clay. Once again I survive a week in Oklahoma, only to find that I must spend yet another one here... After all this time, I finally decided what my web page was lacking, and, in deciding that, realized what to do: Put a commentary of life, the universe, and everything smack dab on the main page. This portion will be useless to those of you who could care less about my ob­ser­va­tions and/or opinions, so leave. If you do care to spend some time reading my ramblings then I con­grat­u­late you for your courage, and will enjoy …continue.
