An apology


An apology 11/14/2003 06:21 PM

It turns out that the Javascript on PHP.net mentioned previously was not deliberately obfuscated to protect the code from prying eyes; it was merely compressed to reduce the size of the script. See this comment for further details. I'd like to apologise to the maintainers of PHP.net for jumping the gun on this issue. Incidentally, the unobfuscated code is now available in CVS.

An Apology


An Apology 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

As you might have noted, my personality has a sharp edge that occasionally surfaces.  Sometimes I try to hide them with humor but that edgyness can be tiring.  If it's tiring to me, it's must be tiring you too.  So I would like to apologize and hope my other sides can make up for some of that.

The good news is that I am getting better.  No less than five years ago, I used to have a deep angry ridge between my eyebrowse.  Now it's not there any more, leaving just the extensive network of laughing lines around my eyes.  Hopefully, my face will resemble the Laughing Buddha by the time I croak.  Yes, I am working on the bountiful potbelly too.

Apology to my readers


Apology to my readers 07/02/2004 03:08 AM

Over the past 2 1/2 weeks while I have been recovering from my injuries/surgery I have been on heavy pain medications and today while reading back thru some of my articles I got to thinking that you all must think I have been drinking while witting.

I think the pain meds would qualify me for being slightly impaired and if you have been scratching your head that may explain some of it. My doctor and I have re-worked my pain meds and hopefully the new prescription I pick up tomorrow will allow me to navigate better and make more comprehensive sense.

Belated Apology


Belated Apology 06/18/2004 11:58 PM

Dave wr ote:

What really gets to me is how people who say they're my friend, stand by, and say nothing.

Oops.  Sorry, Dave.  When read about your shutting down of weblogs.com, I thought it didn't seem like something you would do without a good reason.  So I went and listened to your MP3 chat.  You did have a good reason which was that you tried to do the good thing but things got complicated and there weren't many options to choose from.  While it's easy to think there must have been better alternatives, it's just not the same as being the man on the spot.

Why didn't I say anything when the hounds were at your heels?  I thought you would just take it all in stride.  After all, you must have expected the hounds would come after you.  Would the hounds listen to opinions contrary to their smell of blood?  I didn't think so.  I thought they would just look foolish afterward since they chose to misinterpret what you said and misunderstand your motives.

Inside me is a scared kid as well but I have been all right ever since I accepted death as a side door with a glowing Exit sign over it instead of a gate to hell and eternal pain.  My apology is for not seeing that you might think differently and that you might misinterpret silence as a sign of abandonment.  I will speak up next time.

A Canadian apology to Americans


A Canadian apology to Americans 03/15/2003 11:03 AM
From the Canadian comedy show "This Hour Has 22 Minutes," an hilarious apology on behalf of Canadians to our US neighbors.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.

A post/pre-emptive apology... 10/29/2003 12:10 AM

I'm hoping to really plough through a lot of ideas in the back of my head this weekend, so please forgive me if they're not as clear and well-formed as they might otherwise be. All responses gratefully received, all comments appreciated, and I'll do my best to fix any errors and typos that will inevitably litter everything I write today as I try to throw things out of my head onto the web where they're both more useful and easier to keep track of. Again - apologies for the incoherent bits and the scrabbling for meaning - I'll try to do better next time...

Why Pay To Be An Identity Thief? 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
For all the furor over Choicepoint's selli ng of personal data to some identity thieves, some are pointing out that it doesn't make much sense for such thieves to buy the data when so much is available for free online. A professor has written a program searching out online resumes that often include the person's social security number -- making identity theft simple (and free). Of course, there are other methods of getting people's private info... such as offering to give them a cheap ballpoint pen or some chocolate. Even better, one study showed that people will give you their private info if you just ask for it nicely.

A quick apology to Barbelith users...


A quick apology to Barbelith users... 06/24/2005 09:23 PM

This is a bit of a heads-up and an apology to regular Barbelith users who are going to the site today and finding that it is completely unfunctioning. Barbelith has grown in scale enormously over the last six years to the extent that it can no longer properly function on a pair.com shared server. Mainly this is a problem with the sheer number and size of the database requests that it generates. Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that I need to move it and the rest of my online empire to a dedicated server, which means more monthly costs and a fairly substantial amount of organisational work in the meantime. Unfortunately, I'm also on holiday in San Francisco at the moment (my first holiday for nine months or so), I don't have regular sustainable access to the internet and this is is not the kind of large-scale enterprise that I want to undertake in net cafés over wifi or sitting in the back of Starbucks. So unfortunately, as of this afternoon, Barbelith will be closed for at least three or four days, and potentially for a full week.

I'd just like to apologise to all of the regulars for this annoyance - I promise I'll sort it all out on my return to London (if not before). In the meantime, if you want to donate to the server fund to keep Barbelith running then you can do so by clicking on the button below. Sorry again.
