Bloomington Election Summary

October 31st, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

Here is a summary of the races and some of my perspective based on things that I’ve seen and read. These pages have some good information on candidate’s positions for statewide races: http://www.vote-smart.org/ http://www.issues2000.org/states/in.htm I compiled this list which should reflect, pretty closely, the ballot. The list is based on info from http://www.co.monroe.in.us/clerk/Candidates.html : * [...]

This was on /. and seems like an interesting perspective: http://worldchanging.com/archives/001450.html


Issues in Central Indiana Elections

October 30th, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

I went to a local politics forum at the Indiana Union Wednesday night. Kevey, Bz, and Steven all happened to be there too, probably as a testament to Bz ferreting out what’s going on. It was a really disheartening experience. From living in Bloomington for a year, it seems like the political structures work pretty [...]


howto: symbolic revisions in CVS

October 29th, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

I’ve always wondered about this. You can link your project’s release names with CVS’ internal revision numbers for files. https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.17/cvs_4.html#SEC48

In the Status Bar on the main timeline, click the Edit Multiple Frames button. (It looks like two dark overlapping squares)


Eminem’s Mosh

October 29th, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

Guerrilla News Network: “Eminem’s Mosh” So everybody’s talking about this. From threads on the democratic dailykos.com blog to my anarcho friends. I watched it but can’t say I had any immediate reaction. Maybe any kind of politicization of youth culture is a good thing. I don’t know.


SBC DSL Bill Weirdness

October 28th, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

On the 10/25/2004 SBC bill, the monthly fee for DSL was $49.95 instead of the usual $29.95. The reason for this is that my contract ended in October and I didn’t choose to renew the contract. I was allegedly supposed to have been informed of this by e-mail and postcard, but I never received either. [...]


project tracking – 2004-10-28

October 28th, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

I found yet another voyeuristic, productivity sucking website, http://www.reallysmalltalk.com/. I started resuming work on the tests for the Boxcar online store. Unfortunately, I’ve reached an impasse with submitting the first checkout form. It looks like there is a problem with the following: onsubmit=”validate(form)” It looks like this is either 1) not getting executed or 2) [...]

project tracker – 2004-10-27

October 27th, 2004 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

I fought with Photoshop and Illustrator trying to make the Defiance, Ohio patch design. This article, Drawing with Photoshop Halftones should be very useful for some of the things I want to do. Unfortunately, the image that I have to work with is 72dpi so I couldn’t really do a whole lot with it. I [...]
