What is the IQ of a Raccoon?

This question was posed on WikiAnswers and I couldn’t resist answering…

It depends on which raccoon you select for testing. Raccoons like shiny objects, so you should build traps using silver and gold. You will obviously want to test the raccoon that selects the gold since gold bullion is worth more. The other raccoon is typical as it went for the more shiny object.

So I am pretty much out of ideas for blogging as you can see from my last post being almost a month ago.

What do you want me to write about?

If you build it, they will come.

Well, if you are reading this you can see that all of the other content is gone. Why, you may be asking yourself. I decided to downgrade to a shared hosting account and revamp my internet image in the wake of the massive recession. I couldn’t justify paying $170 a month on a dedicated server when all I really needed it for was Subversion access and 100 shoutcast slots for a donated BassDrive relay.

Running phpDealer was great and was very fulfilling, but in end end I am 1 man battling a barrage of developers and companies with deep pockets. I am a great developer with lots of great ideas, so I am sure some other application will get built.

Back to the new internet image. What will this new image be? Who knows. I am still me, so I am sure it will be something interesting and related to technology.

Only time will tell.
