105 in octal is 69 decimal, and 105 decimal is 69 hexadecimal. What goes around comes around, in true 69 fashion.
Are you ready for JSON? Before you answer “I’m not that kind of g(al|uy)”, take Assaf’s quiz.
I’m the Chip who quips. Or the drip who scripts, depending on whom you ask.

Apotheon reviews the Trackback Validator plugin for WordPress. Here’s one to validate, apotheon. BTW, I’ll be guest-blogging on SOB later this week. I hope Chad knows what he’s bargained for.
Word for the day: anachronism.
Kathy on the allure of Twitter. Stavros on why we become virtual prostitutes.
I just noticed that Stu Savory has me listed under “Blogs that I read” along with some fine company. Thanks, Stu!
Thanks for the link, Ectio.us!

Yes and no. (See above, re: taoism and logic.)

Thanks a lot for making it, and making our lives a lot easier 
Thanks for the link
You’re welcome, Mohan — thanks for spreading the word! I like to link to users and pass the Google-juice around.
Chip, would you be interested in a link exchange?
One better, Mohan: I’ve subscribed to your blog and added you to the blogroll (on the rightmost sidebar). If you want to link back to me, that’s great and TIA!
Woohoo! Cool dude! Thanks Chip! Will add you to my blogroll ASAP!
