SPF Records and YOU

by Jonathan 25 March 2010 Technology

The Domain Name System (commonly known by its acronym, DNS) has been around for a long while. Over the years, it has had enhancements and features added to it. It works based on a series of records, describing information about a hostname. For instance, when you came to this website here, the address is “www.jennyandjonathangetmarried.com”. [...]

Poor technical score: Your bits are showing!

by Jonathan 25 March 2010 Technology

Yeah, I broke all kinds of things when I moved the blog around and re-organized things. One of those things was the RSS feed, which is used in news readers and in all sorts of places where I might want to have this content re-posted. One of those places that used it was my Facebook [...]

New photo toys arrived, and it looks like we’ll have to cover the flowers tonight

by Jonathan 25 March 2010 House and Home

My new Induro carbon-fibre monopod arrived today. It matches the material and construction of my tripod, which is awesome in multiple ways. I only have one set of maintenance and setup tools to carry with me, and motor-memory won’t have to recall settings depending on the support device in use. I also got a Manfrotto [...]

SanDisk Extreme FW800 Reader = AWESOME

by Jonathan 21 March 2010 Photography

Last week, I purchased a new CompactFlash reader for my photography stuff. I had been using a USB reader, mostly because it was generally compatible with everything. Some of my longer photo sessions were taking a looooong time to import, though, and I was getting tired of waiting. I elected to go high-speed, so I [...]

Today was Awesome

by Jonathan 18 March 2010 House and Home

I had an entirely productive day today. Things got rolling with work-from-home work today. I was busting-through things left and right and it was good. I got some development work finished, did a little bit of analysis, and got a lot of catch-up reading accomplished. During lunch, I went over to Arnold Feed and asked [...]

During lunch today, I pressed some keys and made the new site live. I’m sure there are still some details that I need to work-out. In the meantime, here’s hoping at least all of the basic stuff works….

It might very well be time for a change

by Jonathan 4 March 2010 Technology

I keep getting frustrated with how this site works. I think it might be time for a change here. I think I need to work a little harder on the change to make it worthwhile. It has to happen, though, because I now get irritated enough about how this site works that I don’t post here anymore. Change ahoy.

A Revival?

by Jonathan 4 May 2009 Photography

A revival of sorts this is. I’ve been letting this blog languish for a bit too long here. I started to spend a lot more effort twittering small updates, and ran myself out of time to work on larger updates for the blog. At the time, I decided to add my twitter feed to the top of the blog here. I checked it, then logged-out and moved on with the busy part of life. Today I noticed that the twitter feed hasn’t updated in weeks, partially due to a configuration bug that was introduced when one of the machines where I have this blog hosted was upgraded. Argh.

Busy times

by Jonathan 22 March 2009 Photography

Hi happy readers. It has been a little while since I posted here. We’ve been pretty busy. I’ve been working on a show for Riverview school district. They’re doing Jesus Christ Superstar, which is quite possibly one of my favorite shows. That is going well, and will probably be the subject of a few longer posts later. I’ve also been busy learning my new camera, which has been quite fun.
