Simple US Energy Policy

12-27-2007 3:35 pm

This is my idea for a simple US Energy Policy that could really take the spikes out and equalize the fuel prices across the USA.

1) Create a US standard blend of regular gas that is legal to use across the USA. Allow for other blends, but the US standard blend should have a minimum of oxygenator and should be a 87 octane blend.

2) Let states opt out, but withhold there federal highway funds

Thats it, it doesn't get any simpler than that. So next time a refinery gets shut down in your area and the next state over has a surplus, go ahead and import it into your state and use it. No more of this 20 blends of fuel for the country.

Philips BGW200 802.11

10-10-2007 1:28 pm

I did some work on the Philips BGW200 802.11 and in the process acquired a Adya Systems development board and software.

Currently this is selling for $1K at the Adya site. I will sell my used one for the same, note that this kit is better than the one they are selling as they shipped the software with the .lst files for all the binary objects. This reviles the source code to the whole object set. Including the BGW200 firmware and loader.

For $2k total I will through in working schematics for a a BGW200 wireless adapter, 1 completed PCB board, and a two layer board layout design and a BGW200 document that shows many of the internal BGW200 programming registers.

All of the schematics I've seen online for the BGW200 will not work as they fail to understand the basics of the clock circuit. Having all of my info will save you at least $1K of pain, probably much more than that.

DHL drivers taking pictures of customers?

06-26-2007 12:25 pm

Just got a DHL package, I got the impression that the driver was taking a picture of me with his hand-held unit. It looks like a camera in that unit also. I quizzed him about it an he denied it, but he was pointing it at me and looking like he was trying to get a good shot. I'd like to know what the deal is here.

Difference between a Rich Liberal and a Rich Conservative?

07-13-2004 4:11 pm

It usually boils down to the rich conservative have worked hard for his money, while the rich liberal has not.

The number of rich liberals I know seem like they feel guilty about there wealth, it also seems like they have had an easy time of it, gaining there wealth through family fortunes, stock options, or professional careers that pay well. I wouldn't associate word entrepreneur with any of them.

I know very few liberals that have started and grown a company and stayed liberal, most tell me stories of how they changed there ideals through the trials of entrepreneurship.

How to stop lots of spam

06-18-2002 2:01 pm

ISP's please read, help stop spam

A simple soultion

Here is an example address : adsl-64-168-12-76.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net

And how it should be labled : adsl-64-168-12-76.scrm01.dsl.pacbell.net

Notice the difference? placing the dsl sub domain right after the pacbell.net domain give spam filters an easy way to filter out all of pacbell's DSL subscribers. They could also use this as a feature to charge more money to people that want to run incoming mail servers on there connections.

A dialup example: pool-141-153-149-110.mad.east.verizon.net

should be labled 141-153-149-110.mad.east.pool.verizon.net

Anything that can be done to eaisly identify DSL, CABLE and Dialup customers and not have to continually figure out how to chase down new addresses the ISP's choose to use.

This is even more important considering 1/3rd of the PC's connected to the internet are infected with some sort of virus or spyware and could easly be used to send spam.

ohh ya I forgot, please send spam to me at spam@mycal.net and scott@mycal.net as I use these addresses to feed my filters.

How to translate PC speak

06-11-2004 8:23 am

If you take PC speach and do the following translation:

1) tolerance = indiffrence
2) diversity = division
3) acceptance = Submission

It seems to make much more sense.

What is going on here

12-09-2002 5:02 pm

This is a test of some experimental software I've tossed togeather. The idea is to have a cross between a blog and homepage builder. It allows a user to blog and organize a webpages through a web interface. No web skills are necessary, though some html skills would make the display a bit better and more flexable when editing the content. As you look a this example, try to picture each object with an edit button, this is the case when you are logged in as admin. You may add or edit objects at any layer of the tree, or create more branches. It is super simple.

This sofware is PHP based and requires no external database. It uses a small and fast PHP based database that I have written for general web projects.

So far this is very raw, if your interested on looking or hacking on the source let me know at mycal*mycal.net.
