the correct terminology
For COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL REASONS, I stumbled across some clinical knowledge yesterday. Short Penis Syndrome, or SPS, is an affliction north American men have. It is not, however, actually having a small dick. It's the belief that you have or the fear that you have a small dick.

Actually having a small dick is known by the 'cold, clinical term of micropenis.'

I think that's an excellent name for a band, probably instrumental rock, and the cover of their first album is a 70's era shot of a young man with blonde curly hair, leaping victoriously out of a shallow body of water. A rocky mount creek or the shores of Lake Quinault or something like that.

Yeah. Damn.

doctor doom
I'm working on my halloween costume a little early this year. I usually come up with an elaborate dream of a plan, and don't do shit about it. This year I'm going to get it done.

And it is Doctor Doom. Damn.

the family & the eagle
For no particular reason that I can see, Sophie suddenly undertook writing a book last night. She presented it to me, and like any good publisher, I recognize a story that needed to be heard. Scan, copy, & paste 30 minutes later, and here's the book in PDF.

Umbrella - Lightweight Vehicle
Umbrella 0.3 is out. Changelog is ridiculously simple, but here goes anyway:

* Updated readme.html to reference correct file (libdatabase.asp
NOT libhogaboom.asp)
* Updated all page titles to say "Umbrella - The Vehicle
Tracking Database" instead of "Umbrella - Skookum's
Vehicle Tracking Database"
* Included the GPL license file, and corrected the readme.html
to identify the proper license.

There's one more modification I may make shortly, which would be to include a variable that would set the company name.

So you could replace the field "Skookum #" with
"eBay #" or whatever company name you wanted. A
little branding if you will. If you want this, write me and
ask. A little interest from other people is great motivation
for me.

This software was developed by Ralph Hogaboom at Skookum Contract Management as an interim solution while waiting for a much more sophisticated enterprise asset management program to be implemented. That's why the name includes the part about it being lightweight ;)

Skookum is a not-for-profit company that helps people with
disabilities. For more information about our company, please
see http://www.skookum.org. GPL for happy, happy, happy hips
and thighs.

See the readme.html for installation and configuration information. See license.txt for licensing information.

WSS Recover for Sharepoint 2003
Download
now (1.6 Kb; GPL licensed)



I can see that a lot of people (like me) have used SharePoint
Services (SPS) with the MSDE and have hosed the system. Then
they need to recover, or extract, the documents that are shared
in the Shared Documents on SharePoint. Aha! If you still have
MSDE database files, I can help. Witness the wss-recover.asp
file, version 0.1.

Download the .zip, and unzip it into the root directory of
your IIS webserver. For most folks, this is C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
Anyway, once unzipped, simply launch a handy browser and go
to http://servername/wss-recover.asp. The script will prompt
with default settings, and most people should be able to just
click through and get a list of their files. If you've changed
database names or what not, it'll be trickier for you.

Anyway, hope this helps someone.
