Does your web host not have WebDAV installed on Apache?  It’s not unusual.  None of the hosts I use or looked at had mod-dav installed, nor were they willing to do so.  That means that the one-click Publish feature in iCal won’t work.  You can,... full entry

New Book from CCDO Contributor
Well, since he hasn’t posted about it himself, as he is a very humble man, I’ll do it.  I will do it nine times.  Hisham has just released his first children’s book: The Secret Library. I purchased one myself, as the book reminded me of... full entry

Maybe he’s just ugly
Mike Ricci, who has thus far been a major preventor of me being a Coyote’s fan, is not listed as being part of the available free agency list that came out yesterday. In researching why such a travesty would occur, it appears that last year... full entry

COYOTE HULK SOCK DEN
Which as everyone knows is an anagram for “hockey lockout ends” (if you hadn’t already heard).  As a recent fan of hockey, I had still not found a team.  You know a “my team” team.  I always had someone to root for during games, had... full entry
