Happy 15th Anniversary to CJCS.COM

On April 2, 1997, I was issued the cjcs.com domain. It was in the neighborhood of the millionth domain, depending on how you choose to reckon these things; more than likely it was a smidge over that.

Quick Thoughts on WordPress 3.0 Beta

A few days ago I installed the current beta release for WordPress 3.0 (WP3), which is scheduled for general release in the next few weeks. I wanted to see what the “gotchas” might be as well as get a head start on getting my themes up to snuff. Here are some of my impressions with getting things up and running.

T I B Passages

I sit here contemplating how this website, T I B, is going to change in the coming months. As with all things, change is inevitable. Some choose to look on change with dread. Some choose to look on it as an opportunity.
