Wow, but this has been a long slog. Two years ago, I got back into the software business. It occurred to me that I might want to revamp Scarecrow. Like, the basic architecture, to take advantage of this and that. More scalable, faster, and so forth. Some new feaures. Oh, and maybe a completely...
Phone companies are always annoying. But you knew that. Turns out gas companies are just as bad. And the folks who manage rental properties. (Today’s funny: I confirmed it is “technically” a violation of my lease to walk on the grass. Like, you know, on the way to the playground–the one surrounded by grass–with...
Howdy y’all! Can I take a moment here to point out that the above punctuation is in fact correct? “Y’all” is a contraction of “you all” and thus I find the proliferation of “ya’ll” to be Just Plain Weird. Also, “y’all” is plural. Not singular. Please make a note. And on a similarly important...

…unless they don’t. Nothing’s ever as simple as it first seems. Scarecrow, a product we’ve been working on lately, started out as a “simple” request from a local business owner. He wanted to know: is there some sort of script that can tell me if my website gets hacked? Hmm. Interesting. “Why, LBO,” I...
Somebody or other once made a comment about the value of contracts–those documents that allow us all to state in writing, politely, each and every way we don’t trust one another. (If you find the original, please forward it.) But, yeah, people seem to find them useful. I just want to point out the...
