Anesthetics Rule

As I’m sitting in the dentist office, with a mouthful of gauze and one tooth less than what I came in with, I’d expect to be in excruciating pain. I’d expect to be unable to talk. I’d expect to not want to drive myself home. But I’m not in pain, I can still talk just fine, and I’ll be driving my mother and I home. Such is the wonder of modern drugs.

WordPress Upgrade

Mail.app and Gentoo IMAPS Have Issues No More

Looks like I’ve finally rooted out the cause of Gentoo’s IMAPS servers returning ‘SSL errors’ in Apple’s Mail.app. It turns out that the way I had configured Mail to check for new messages every minute was not so friendly to Gentoo’s IMAPS server. Increasing said configuration value to every five minutes seems to have fixed the problem.
