So, ironic that just after I post something about my site being down and I may not keep blogging my site goes down again. I don’t know how long, could have been days–I haven’t getting emailed site backups for days. I didn’t think it was a problem with my blog setup, I thought […]
So, about a week ago five relative strangers and my grandma had a small surprise awaiting them when they logged into this site. They found a placeholder page, saying this domain was bought but not used yet. That is due to a lapse in service that was entirely my fault.
Don’t know if it matters, […]
So, with the addition of my Asus EEE, I now have a total of 5 operable computers, 4 of which I regularly use. One is my download computer/DVD player/media streamer for my television. One is a laptop that is no longer portable (bad power port) so it is permanently resigned to a dock […]
As far as Einstein goes, I think people need to remember that his claim to fame is called the THEORY of Relativity, not the LAW of Relativity. That his little bit of theorizing has been around for decades and still hasn’t been proven makes me think Albert’s parents were being sarcastic when they put […]
…when he pulled the mighty Excalibur from the stone.
For you see, that is exactly how I felt as I opened the package I got from NewEgg.com. Electricity crackled in the air. My knife found it’s way into my hands, slashing through the box’s tape as if it had a mind of it’s own. […]
Sorry, not much time. I could write a book right now about the movie Speed Racer, about the amazing direction, about the million different tones it juggled and moved back and forth between seamlessly. But it’s late and I start my first day of work at a new job tomorrow (later today, 7 […]
RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chips emit a little radio signal that contains digital information, and this signal can also be used to track them. They’re versatile: perfect for warehouses to track cases, scary as hell when they talk about putting them in people. They’re stupid when in credit cards. Stupid and dangerous and […]
You know what, “nerd” may not be the proper term. Maybe it is for me, I build computers, I drool over new technology, I am a nerd, but I’m referring to my being a fan of Buffy and Angel. I suppose this doesn’t make someone a nerd in the traditional sense. Anyway, […]
You know, I was thinking about how having a blog is kind of like having a pet, in that you have to be responsible or it will get neglected. But then I realized, having a blog is nothing like a pet. You can’t ignore a pet, it will bug the shit out of […]
There’s nothing like the great pleasure of checking your web site’s traffic, seeing a fairly large number, getting slightly excited and then seeing that it’s just a bunch of web crawlers scanning your site. It makes me feel quite meek, especially because the “fairly large” number really isn’t large by most standards.
Look, here’s the […]
