Feeder Fish

I used yo have a turtle that ate these. Glad I just have a vegetarian tortoise now although he is being such a pain right now. Today and I had to bathe him and oil his shell. He is getting so fat that I need to put him on a diet but eating is like his only entertainment.

He is getting so big now.

Estrip SSL certificate authority

I am so tired of needing SSL certs or having to ignore or confirm exceptions. I decided to just create my own certificate authority, once my systems trust that, they trust any of my certs.

If you are in a sketchy place and want to use the SSL version of estrip to protect your session you can.

First accept the estrip server as a certificate authority. Using firefox it is easy, go to and check all three boxes. Then just go to the ssl version of the site for the rest of your trip. You can do the same thing with other browser but you will need to follow you OSes way of importing certificate authorities as chrome, safari and IE all use the OSes cert trust store unlike firefox which has its own.

As a side note flash uploads will not work without having your OS truststore accept estrip as a certificate authority, however, drag/drop and mobile site upload will.

Frickin rash illness from hell

Like two weeks ago I had this first spot on my arm. I thoight it was a bug bite. After a few days I got another then it spread all over my chest and neck. At first it was super itchy but bendryl helped figuring it was an allergy. Then days turned into weeks and it now seems like its not an allergy. I use hypoallergenic everything to start off with and I've introduced nothing new.

Now I think its pityriasis rosacea. It fits the description very well with hive like welts that have a cigarette papery center. Trust me I have researched like every skin condition under the sun and it seems the most plausible. They radiate out like a Christmas tree if looking at me head on. The unfortunate part is that takes a long time to go away. Here are some links

So I have money and health insurances but it seems like every dermatologist has a months long waiting list and no idea about anyone else to call. Luckily, I made a dermologist appoint for next week about 4 months ago just to get some moles checked out. Here is to forward thinking or being psychic.

And more luckily, thankfully my boss let me work from home while it was really bad this week.

The lighting in the picture don't really do it justice in terms of the redness.

The watery drip in this last pic is really just a water drip not some blister.

Hubbard squash soup

(E:terry) made some yummy Hubbard squash soup. What surprised me is that we bought he squash before Halloween (e:paul,52960) and it was still totally good. Terry read it can last up to six monts so that people would store them for winter.

I stole this last picture from the wikipedia article about squashes

Online Creative Suite

I am so freakin impressed with this online creative suite at

The entire thing was made using Adobe Flex and I think more than anything else I have seen, this really makes it apparent what can be done with flex. While I am generally not a big fan of Flex based design, the fact that this web system is free to use online makes it quite amazing.

They have different online apps for vector and bitmap manipulation. Additionally they have an app for make color palettes and editing music and video. They even have tutorials on how to use the different apps

image

You can then export your creations to your desktop.

One Step Away From China

The government has now warned government employees to not look at the wikileaks site on either work or personal computers.

On one hand I get it, the data is still classified even though it has leaked. At the same time this is a slippery slope. I bet soon enough we will have a something close to the Chinese situation that American's so often criticize.

FIFA Worldcup 2022

I never write about sports but this one caught my eye. Qatar won the 2022 FIFA bid for the worldcup and Japan lost.

Japan's bid included offering to display the games in 400 international stadiums in holographic projection so that people who were not there could experience the game. They also show children with real time translation devices like in star trek. I guess it makes sense 2022 is 10 year away and technology is moving pretty quickly. I wish they had won.

Living Close To Work

Nothing is better than walking home four blocks in one inch of snow while everyone else has to dig their way off the road to get back to their suburban getaways.
