Buying a new computer? Here’s an easy tool to remove all of the bloatware that manufacturers subject you to when you buy a prebuilt system. No more heavily branded useless software eating up your brand new spiffy hard drive. You paid for 750gb so you should get to use it how you want to.
As one of the leading open source blogging platforms, WordPress has inspired hundreds (if not thousands) of plugins and tools here’s a collection of some of the best

All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments. No other features (such as outlines or geographic features) have been added to this image, however they emerge as roads avoid mountains, and sparse areas convey low population. The pace of progress is seen in the midwest where suburban areas are punctuated by square blocks of area that are still farm land.

Excellent podcasts on project management skills and training. Definitely a must listen for anyone managing people, projects or anything in between from Portland’s own Cadence Management.
Wow, a wordpress plugin that crossposts to facebook (and crossposts comments as well it appears!!!)

Brilliant wordpress theme that is quite similar in concept to the way Dave Shea of mezzoblue.com has his site setup. This theme is perfect for photoblogging since the site will always color complement the photo.
So far so good. We’re doing an alright job of adjusting to life with 2 boys. Many of you are probably thinking “pshaw, how hard can two boys be”. To you I say, you’re either not parents or else you’ve forgotten the difficulties of mixing newborns with big boys:
Due to our own bad planning (with the greatest of intentions of course) I am now sleeping on the queen size bed in our oldest’s room (still really not used to saying “our oldest”), while the wife is sleeping in the big comfy king in our room. It wasn’t the original plan but it tends to keep us both a little more on the sane side. I do have to say that it’s nice going to bed before 10pm again. I’d forgotten how well rested you can feel even when you wake up at 8am on a Sunday.
Next weekend ought to be interesting since we’re taking the boys to the tricities for a week (the wife will be staying there too) so I can clean the house, get the car fixed (there was some damage to it Thursday when I had to choose between hitting a teen or a wall, obviously I picked the wall) and then get some work done on a few projects I have in my head like:
Oh sorry for not posting new pictures. Some asshat stole my Mother In Law’s camera before she had a chance to get the pictures uploaded. There will be a bunch coming soon.
Sometime in the next two weeks I’ll also have posts up on:
In closing I’d just like to say congrats to Demonoid.com to their reopening as a torrent site. A lot of us missed you guys. Also congrats to Dawn Foster for launching Portland is Awesome!
That’s right. After a danger fraught 42 minutes of labor Zoe has brought a new life into the world (or to put it another way, angel child Alexandr Phelan O’Rourke is a big brother now). There is a huge glut of pics coming soon but for now just a few I snapped throughout the long sleep deprived day Zoe and I have had. Xander’s having a blast but still trying to figure out who this new person that is getting all of mommy’s attention is.
Major update with play by play coming soon but for now we leave you with these few paltry images taken of the two most adorable boys I know (taken with iPhone).
