An interesting little yarn for Halloween. It’s the story of Herman Webster Mudgett or H.H. Holmes as he came to known, the notorious serial killer of Chicago. Oddly, the Mudgett line continues today with Jeff Mudgett and he’s written his account of reading his great-great-grandfather’s journals. As a direct descendant, he gives his thoughts and understanding of his family line. This should make for some interesting reading.
Damn, it’s nice out there. What the devil kind of weather is this for October? It’s the mid 70s, the leaves are changing color, the sun is out, the sky is blue. Time to ride my bike into downtown for a lunch date. I wonder how far I can ride?
Crime City HD is having another event. I’ve managed to grab multiple Aeronautics boxes and my daily income is surpassing $300k. Of course, I seem to be spending nearly $1 million a day. I believe I need a financial adviser. As an aside, I was robbed for $10k, but returned the favor and looted for $100k. I think that worked out in my favor. This game, it keeps me entertained.
Ashampoo has come out with a new version of their Uninstaller. I really should be using this more. I install and remove so much crap it’s ridiculous.

Maybe I’ll be better with v5. Plus, it’s only $8. Ashampoo Uninstaller 5

I had IIS config problems, broken links, missing HTML files, pages that didn’t load, links that went nowhere and a few other problems. I even saw that a few of pages were malformed because of improper HTML code. I’d left off the opening or closing bracket and the page rendered rather poorly. I wish I would have used this earlier. Sitemapper actually goes through every link and gives you a status report for those links. It’s pretty damn thorough and quite enlightening.
