A Still Verdictless LifeA work-in-progress, both life and blog. By Jeff Nichols.(Untitled)- December 23, 2002 Spent the day at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River, near Montrose CO. Absolutely spectacular scenery and some interesting geology. Montrose is my wife's hometown, so we did lots of sightseeing and trips down memory lane. The Black Canyon is the steepestnarrowestdeepest in the US - others are larger or wider, but for sheer drops, the Black Canyon is the champion. It's a very cool little national park.http://radio.weblogs.com/0110445/2002/12/23.html#a466 (Untitled)- December 22, 2002 I had an epiphany today while in church. It was a good service, full of Christmas carols. I've often wondered why church is so appealing to elders, and so universally unappealing to kids. I don't know of a single child who really wants to go to church. I think the answer has two parts: (1) conditioning, and (2) the comfort of rituals held year after year.

The domain "nicholsgrp.com" is somewhere in DNS hell. Verisign may be in the process of moving the hosting site, or may just have edited the DNS entry and pointed the domain into the bit bucket. We'll see.http://radio.weblogs.com/0110445/2002/12/22.html#a464 (Untitled)- December 22, 2002 Got to go target shooting in the foothills near Grand Junction yesterday. Northeast of the town, the edge of large BLM holdings (millions of acres) makes for great recreation. Hiking, offroading, shooting, hunting and fishing - there's room for everything. And the views...awesome! You simply couldn't avoid becoming an outdoors person if you lived here.http://radio.weblogs.com/0110445/2002/12/22.html#a463 (Untitled)- December 22, 2002 We're back on the uphill slope! Yesterday was the Winter Solstice, so today will be just a little longer than yesterday, as will every day till June 20. The worst is over.http://radio.weblogs.com/0110445/2002/12/22.html#a462 (Untitled)- December 21, 2002 It seems I'm not alone in problems transferring domains from Verisign's grasp. From supportem.com: "It has come to our attention that Verisign (was Network Solutions) has some 'unoffical' polices to make it difficult to transfer domains 30 days before expiring. Previously VeriSign has tried other questionable business tactics and has made it very difficult to transfer domains away from them. We are recommending if you are thinking of moving your domain away from VeriSign start the process as...http://radio.weblogs.com/0110445/2002/12/21.html#a461 (Untitled)- December 21, 2002 Adam Curry: "Is it just me, or is iCal an incredibly good looking piece of crap" Scripting News No Adam, it's not just you. So far, iCal is just that. Disappointing.http://radio.weblogs.com/0110445/2002/12/21.html#a460 |
