Sorry, it's been a while since I've updating anything on my site.  Like I've said before, no one pays me to work on my own site!  Anyhow, there'll be more stuff coming soon as I've got a bunch of Drupal and jQuery items that I've been wanting to write about.  But until then, here's (yet another) detail that can be overlooked when setting up IE6 on a Virtual PC in a development environment.

Some photos from our 2001 trip to the Galapagos Islands.

Just a few shots from my trip to East Africa in 1997...

UPDATE: It looks like the old Magnifier is no longer part of the jQuery UI library.  I'm looking into possible replacements, but most that I've found degrade horribly if you don't have JavaScript enabled.  If you know of a good Magnifier/Dock, please leave me a note in the comments section of this page or drop me a line.  Thanks.

A bunch of random shots that I uploaded recently. Most are from a trip to New Zealand from eight (!!!) years ago. Shows you how well I keep things updated around here... Anyhow, thanks to Simon who's traveling around the south island right now for asking for some advice on places to see. That, of all things, was what finally got my butt in gear.

Google provides an amazing, free website analysis product called Analytics, also known as Urchin, the name of the company Google bought to acquire this technology. As with many things Google produces, it does a lot of what you want, how you want and for a price you can't beat. It's obviously aimed squarely at users of their AdWords product. Even so, I've added it to several websites just to do basic analysis, such as unique visitors, entry points, search terms, and so on. But everything has a cost and I wanted to know what the cost of using Google Analytics would be.

(Update: I've started posting my journal entries from this trip in honor of its ten year anniversary.)

In Dec., 1998 I spent four month with some friends touring the southern end of South America — Patagonia — by bicycle. The pace of travel on a bike allows you to spend enough time in an area to connect with it, but still be able to get from point A to point B in decent time.
