Welcome to EJK's Desktop; This is my little corner of the Internet, running on my Linux gateway box. This isn't a blog. If I wanted a blog, there are many services out there, none of them so picky and unforgiving as running one's own server and website. But having full control over how everything looks and works is worth it to me.
Part of my experiment here is a number of bash scripts which automatically perform some basic site maintenance functions for me. They range from things as trivial as keeping a single number correct to the task of moving all of last year's updates off the front page on January 1st. They also generate statistics on visitor usage based on server request logs, updated every 30 minutes.

20090616: Why Flash Must Fucking Die (A young lady's illustrated primer)
You're sitting listening to your classical music stream, when you notice this slight noise in the background. Lean towards the speaker... Wait, those are words. Is this that radio station you live next to that forces its signal into everything... no, its not spanish. WTF, did someone break into my computer and make it play subliminal messages to me? ... Hang on, what is this shit about shaving my head? *click click click* Oh, a flash ad. EX TER MIN ATE! KILL DASH NINE!
And that is why flash must die.
20090426: So, apparently Red Dawn gives half the people who watch it the Helicopter Nightmare. But not me... Whenever a plane flys overhead I get a sinking fear that wherever I am is about to be stormed by the VDV. I'm wondering... is that better or worse?
Obligatory: Wolverines!
20090123: In a case of self-pwnage, it appears that my yearly update mover's execution went sideways and instead deleted everything from last year. My backup copies were dated and... so it goes. Little of value or consequence was lost. I've basically got this page back where it was.
