Looks like there is a great place for sale in the Tano Road area in Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you’re looking for an exclusive, secluded property with extremely rare views I suggest you head over to http://www.103bestrellasdetano.com/.

Wow - that’s gonna be hard to pattern-match. Top part of this screenshot is from my Email-client, bottom part is the beginning of the source for the message:

Looks like somebody discovered that “banner” (if you’re on a Unix system try this from a shell: banner “foo”) with a small font-size yields machine-unreadable but human-readable content. Almost a reverse-captcha, let’s call it raptcha …

This is a practical guide for all babies and toddlers who happen to be as lucky as our little Pia to have a Grand-Grandma who also happens to be a Grand-Grand-Chef in the Chinese Cuisine.

Grand-Grandma (and Grandma to be precise) were out here in Santa Fe some weeks ago. Our pleas for plenty of Chinese food were not left unanswered.
One of the most delicious treats are Chinese Steamed Buns with meat filling. They take a long time to prepare, but the result is out of this world.
I don’t have the recipe which was used for those particular ones, but there is at least one at this location for those who are into adventures in the kitchen.

Grand-Grandma had a grand smile on her face when she saw how our little baby liked all the dishes she prepared. Everybody was surprised to hear her smacking her lips all the time.

There’s still a nice supply of Chinese food in the freezer and here are Pia’s instructions on how to enjoy the buns:

step 1: prepare for consumption of Chinese Steamed Buns; climb on kitchen table; take off socks (important!); collect as much fluid as possible in mouth region; it helps to raise shoulders in anticipation
	step 2: lift one bun carefully; break apart; smell contents; perform preliminary visual inspection
step 3: slowly bring small quantities of buns to the mouth; insert into mouth opening; use previously collected fluids to spread food in mouth region
	step 4: while food still touches lips, inhale through mouth with bun covering mouth opening, this will allow for maximum sensory exposure of food particles; do not, i repeat, do not exhale (or sneeze) while food is covering mouth opening!
step 5: repeat process until very last piece has been eaten, dropped on the floor or swallowed by dogs hovering around the table
	step 6: don’t forget to smile into daddies camera a few times; this last step is a guarantee for more food or perhaps even sweets!

In my spare time I worked together with Brad Choate and merged the functionality of my ProxyPlug plugin with Brad’s DBSL Movable Type plugin. The result is SpamLookup which has been running for quite some time on my site with great, great success.

Yesterday Brad decided to release it to the public for the first time. Follow the link above to get your hands on a beta-release of this Comment-/Trackback-Spam Fighting weapon.

A few days the Volvo dealership here in Santa Fe removed the “On Call Plus” system from our XC70. We didn’t like the fact that the car constantly complained about the expired system. You can read the original story here.

I’m also happy to report that they did it on “goodwill” basis (here’s part of the section from the garage’s receipt):

Kudos to Volvo for taking care of this and not charging us. If you’re in a similar situation and have been told you have to pay for the removal, you may want to use this post as a reference …

The original problem report above has received quite a number of hits from all around the world. Some of them also seem to come from Volvo Corporate locations.
