Twelve (of many) Reasons Why I Wanted to Marry Sharon
Back in October of 2006 Sharon and I were participating in pre-marital counseling at our church and one of the small bits of homework each of us had to complete was to write twelve reasons why we wanted to marry the other person.
Earlier today I was browsing my Documents directory, attempting to do a little clean-up, when I opened the list I wrote (back on October 16th, 2006) and I thought it would be nice to publish it here for safe-keeping:
Password-protect a Subdomain with Plesk
My design and development business, Boston Web Studio, uses the Plesk Control Panel to manage its web hosting account. While Plesk has served me well for years, it does have one shortcoming that baffles me and many other folks: it doesn’t make it easy to password-protect a subdomain. It does provide an easy way to password-protect directories under the root domain and it also provides an easy way to create subdomains, yet it doesn’t combine these two features; if I want to password-protect a subdomain, I have to do it manually, and that means poking around my web server using a command-line interface.

An Observation: The Paths We Choose
A diagram of two different paths people often take when walking to and from a destination
An Observation: The Paths We Choose … Sounds deep doesn’t it? I’m not a very deep person, not unless I’m in the ocean and my buoyancy chose to stay on land. In fact, what I mean by The Paths We Choose is, quite literally, the paths we often choose when walking to and from a destination.
This rather pathetic diagram attempts to better describe what I mean: immediately after parking your car you set off on a particular path towards your destination, yet, on the way back to your car, you rarely follow the same path; in fact, you barely come close to it.
Granted, this is only the case when a straight line between the two points isn’t possible.
After taking note of this pattern in my own daily routines, I realized that this was something I do all of the time so I figured it was probably a common, yet unconscious, choice that many people made.
Maybe I should just stick to thinking and writing about HTML mark-up and CSS.

Too damned funny not to post.
