Jeb the Web Reb

JEBStuart.jpegGreg asks, “what is a reb?” He ain’t from these parts.

Ted wrote a birthday poem saying not many words rhyme with Jeb. So I signed a comment “Jeb the Web Reb.”

Mom and Dad (mostly Dad) nicknamed me after General Jeb Stuart of the Confederate Army (the rebels.) So a “reb” was a confederate soldier.

The nickname was only supposed to be a childhood nickname. So Bruthu Grant should take note. He has nicknamed Michael “Lil’ Smut” … just for while he is a kid.

Right.

CocoaMySQL

I used a trial version of Navicat to get to the underlying MYSQL tables behind MovableType. I’ve needed to do this in the past to reset user passwords. Navicat is a bit expensive ($95) for my occasional needs.

Just found this open source utility that does everything I need. Next time I have to reset a password, I’ll send them $5.

CSS Pencils

Scott found this one. Follow his link, then wait for the color pencils to show up. It is not a picture, but instead, every dot of color (or group of 3 dots) is created with an html border tag and colored using CSS. Different style sheets control the bright, darker, red channel, etc. Follow the “About” on his page to read more about it.
