An old friend found

By Kirk M | Published July 30, 2006

I just obtained a web site address of an old friend that I had lost touch with a long time ago. I had first met Pierre when I was in High school and during the time my sister and I were doing theater work which continued after we had graduated.

He was the rather dynamic and [...]

How to write a book(?)

By Kirk M | Published July 29, 2006

Truth is, I just don’t know. Why do I wonder such a thing? Well, let me tell you.
Over the past several years I have written a bunch of short stories, articles of stuff and nonsense and the like and have saved and stuffed them into every computer I’ve had since 1995 or so. I lost [...]

A new PFF build

By Kirk M | Published July 29, 2006

I just wanted to see if the new 1.3 alpha 3 build of the Performancing extension I received from Jed Brown would crash Firefox 2 beta 1 like version 1.2 did. So far so good but it’s only been up for a short while. I’ll really pound on it later this weekend and see how [...]

I was going to spend some time here whining and complaining about being sick enough to drive two hours down to the VA in White River Jct (VT) and getting absolutely nothing accomplished and had to wait around while it didn’t happen.
But I said I wasn’t going to complain about it didn’t I?
So instead, I’m [...]

Been busy

By Kirk M | Published July 23, 2006

Haven’t had time to post lately. I’ve either been too busy or just too tired to think let alone type something intelligible. Now I know that for personal blogs such as this one, you don’t necessarily have to be intelligible but for me…being wee bit clear headed is a must. Not a lot, mind you…just [...]

A new saw…see?

By Kirk M | Published July 19, 2006

So my honey needed a new 3 panel folding “wall” like the one that I made her for her new shop (Long Meadow Farm Quilts). This one however, is for a show put on by the Wooden Horse Arts Guild and this particular folding wall will be used to display some fine examples of her [...]

Performancing update

By Kirk M | Published July 14, 2006

I received a comment from Jed Brown the day after my previous post (the one before this one) about my “beloved pinch hit blog editor”; Performancing (PFF) missing in action for the new beta builds of Firefox 2. He let me know that an update to the editor was coming up soon so PFF could [...]
