Peakbagging List Redux

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

I reformatted the peakbagging list (link at right).
Two more NH 4000′ers are definitely on deck: Wildcat and Cabot. Wildcat is the target for this years Flags on the 48 hike. Cabot is the target for a North Country “hookie hike” with my friend Gary. We started this little tradition a couple of […]

New Peakbagging List

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I rebuilt my peakbagging list by encoding all the peak information in a Ruby script and then using another Ruby script to generate the HTML that WordPress’ editor is supposed to handle.  It’s not perfect.  It’s missing the statistics and I’m not completely happy with the layout.  But it’ll do for now.
I did add some […]

WordPress Sucks

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Their new and improved visual editor ate my peakbagging list.  Completely.  Hours and hours of work gone.  You would think that by 2008 we wouldn’t have editors that eviscerate your data.  You’d be wrong.  If you have fairly complex table-driven data in an attached web page to your blog, do not use the visual editor.  […]

PGN Viewer 1.0

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I took a break from game engine coding to finish one of the many pet projects I had before accepting that new job.  PGN Viewer is a chess game player which can read, analyze and playback a chess game based on its PGN data.  Unlike most other PGN viewers, my viewer is not a Java […]

Update: Peakbagging List

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I updated my peakbagging list at right. It now includes the mountains of the Wapack Range.

Funk You

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Damn, if it doesn’t seem like life can conspire against you sometimes. The timing of just about everything in my life is getting thrown off lately and it’s really bringing me down.
I’d relate it all in exquisite detail, but, in hindsight, it’s all rather mundane. Deaths by a 1000 cuts are not that […]

That Was Quick

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

I removed the Album of the Month. I have something else in mind to replace it.
Also, I have a major site update in the works. More coming…

Photo Gallery: Pierce 2005

Friday, December 7th, 2007

I finally found the CD with the pictures from the hike up Mount Pierce in 2005. I’ve uploaded the lot and updated the photo gallery.

The Extended Album

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

As Remnants of a Deeper Purity was recently re-released with a 2nd CD of extra tracks, and considering that this album will be up for over a month, I decided to upload those additional tracks as part of the Album of the Month.
Enjoy.

New Feature: Album of the Month

Friday, November 16th, 2007

I decided that embedding the music player on the main page was wasteful and not very useful. First of all, when editing posts with WordPress, the system will display a preview page of the post. This preview would include the player which would cause a series of site accesses and Flash startup. […]
