So, what’s the difference between this:
<!--#if expr="${GETDOC3}"-->
<!--#include virtual="doc3.html"-->
<!--#endif-->
and this?
<!--#if expr="${GETDOC3}" -->
<!--#include virtual="doc3.html" -->
<!--#endif -->
Answer: the stupid space before the --> marker. Without that little space, your server side includes won’t play nice with Apache 1.3.

Boy, did I mess up that time estimate… I figured I’d be able to get the prep-work done for the cherry wine in about an hour, hour and a half tops. With two of us working for the last half of it, it took almost three hours to de-pit two and a half gallons of tart cherries.

There’s plans afoot for a new batch of wine. Scott H got a couple gallons of tart cherries from a friend of his and handed them over to our tender mercies for winification. I’m sure we’ve got a recipe or two for cherry wine somewhere. This is Michigan after all. If I can’t find one I like, I may just adapt the one we used for the cranberry wine. It turned out pretty tasty…

I’ve been doing some massive geek-outery at work again. It’s some really cool stuff involving doing the navigation for a huge website using server side includes and variables so that I only have to write something once and it’ll look different depending on where you are in the site.

Well, we’re at the convention. And for the umpteenth year running, they’ve screwed up our convention badges. It’s become something of a tradition, I’m afraid. I did what I could, giving them the list of Ann Arbor names, as well as telling them that Bryan and Greg are the East Coast contacts and that they’d have the full list of East Coast names… We’ll see how it goes.

In about an hour and a half it’ll be the start of the Origins vacation… Not that I’m counting down or anything. I’m just getting psychologically prepared.

My job is different from yours, part #124 in a continuing series…
Ok, so I’m doing a lot of video capture at work. Almost all of it is surgical training films, so it’s nicely gory stuff. But what’s really fun is that a lot of the films are from the 1970’s. This means that the docs giving the introductions to the operations are dressed in suits and ties that look like something you’d see in reruns on TV Land.
So here I am sitting in my office, watching with great interest while docs slice and dice someone’s face so that they can wire together the broken bones underneath, and what gets me cringing and howling is the guy in the plaid suit with the four inch wide herringbone tie.

A friend of mine came up with an idea for an alien race of intelligent octopi for use in my sister’s Farscape d20 game. It’s the first time she’s GM’d, so I helped her out a bit with hashing out the game balance issues. After going back and forth a bit, he wound up playing something a bit more standard, but there’s no reason that an entire alien race should just languish on my hard drive. Besides, even though they were originally for a sci-fi far future space travel game, with a little bit of tweaking for genre specific rule sets these guys could easily be adapted to pretty much any environment. They’d make outstanding rogues…
