Mostly little tools to make my life and others easier and help integration. There is one thing that I wanted to talk about and that is the [...] Sat, 27 Dec 2008 12:10:55 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=142 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/12/27/dallas-holidaymeedow-inn-demolition/ On 11-9-2008, the Holiday Inn Dallas, on Central Expressway was demolished. I got video footage of the event, and was going to post the video to youtube. What I didn’t realize is how many other people posted the same video. Here is mine in 720p: Here is a BUNCH of others: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 17:06:34 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=141 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/12/04/bulk-twitter-import-tool/ I created this tool a little while ago but didn’t talk about it much. It’s a little tool that helped following everyone in my company at the time really easy. One big missing feature in twitter is to be able to follow a big list of users easily. So I created this tool. It requires [...] Thu, 4 Dec 2008 14:06:14 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=140 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/12/04/ipv6-traffic/ I’ve noticed a spike in IPv6 traffic to my blog lately. I guess I have one of the few blogs on the web with IPv6 accessibility. It’s something that amazes me isn’t more widespread yet. I’m just waiting for Time Warner to support IPv6, but that means that my cable modem will need a DOCSIS [...] Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:09:27 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=139 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/11/26/turkey-love/ Click to Play http://zbowling.com Love your turkey… Happy Turkey Day….

I’m not going into specifics of how to use Postgres, so this is really for anyone that knows a little about it or is trying to follow some generic platform inspecific instructions on setting up something with it and is stumped by the setup in Debian. My [...] Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:07:33 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=137 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/11/11/free-geocode-webservice/ Since I need to geocode for my project on LeadSwami.com, I decided to make the geocode api public. Check it out: http://leadswami.com/api/ Enter in an US address, and it will return the latitude and longitude of the address. If you enter a fuzzy/badly formed address, it will return a number of listings with ranked results. It’s really [...] Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:05:19 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=136 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/11/10/bogon/ Oh you evil Bogons! A bogon is a ip range that has no legitimate use, so if you get a packet from one from an address in that range, its probably safe to drop it. I’ve been tracking down a problem with my server where people were unable to hit my server from different places. Tracking [...] Sun, 9 Nov 2008 01:05:52 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=135 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/11/08/telligent/ A little over 5 weeks ago, I went back to working for Telligent Systems again. I originally worked for them back when they had only 10 people a little over 3 years ago, and now they are in the hundreds. They are growing like crazy and having a lot of success. My stay there was was [...] Tue, 4 Nov 2008 00:06:53 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/zbowling/diary.html?start=134 http://zbowling.com/blog/2008/11/03/testing-new-blog-app-for-iphone/ This is only a test. — Post From My iPhone
