I haven’t had much to say lately. Spent yesterday watching Old Movies and enjoying the heck out of them, and wrote a little update about that. But mostly I’m just being lazy this week. The schedule has filled up from tomorrow onwards, and I think I’ll probably be a slacker again today. My realistic planning helped somewhat, but I’m already triaging the list. Some things I won’t have time for, and others I just don’t want to do badly enough to bother.
But I guess that’s okay. The work things that are critical will get done. The rest will or won’t, and I’m not going to worry too much about it.
- Is E-tracking coming to a DMV near you? Some seem to think so. I’m thinking that if the proposals to put trackers in every car, bill by usage, and disable the vehicle if the tracker is shut off ever come into play, I won’t be the only one trying to tuck a brilliant red barchetta away at my uncle’s farm, if only to go for A Nice Morning Drive every once in a while.

- Hmm. I’m pretty sure the web applications I’ve written are secure against SQL Injection Attacks like these, but I’m not positive. Guess that’s another thing to add to the to-do list. [holy schmoly]
- Here’s an analysis of Blogging styles and traffic stats that I didn’t link to until I had time to read it more carefully. Looking at it, I suspect the category that fits me most closely is the “long-tail blogger”. I don’t play the trackback game, or indulge in carnivals. I have a small, but respectable readership (5k page-views per day), and it was interesting to read this article and think about things a little. I noticed, for example, that the ratio is now 3-1 for the RSS feed over people looking at the front page. I need to keep that in mind as I transition the blogging software. I also noticed someone using one of my images in a post on myspace, so I changed it to point to this one instead, which changes the meaning of their post completely. And it saves about 40k of bandwidth for each of the roughly 500 times that image is getting loaded each day. [instapundit]
