In which universe does this make any sense?
Okay, so I don’t really know how wi-fi works. I assume it’s some sort of transmitter/receiver relationship like radio or old-style television. I figure there needs to be an appropriate amount of proximity and an inversely appropriate lack of obstacles between the two stations, but once you’ve got [...]
In which there’s a totally awesome t-shirt!
Last week, VUBOQ posted a picture of his new bedazzled Storm Trooper t-shirt and I was totally all OMFGWTFBBQ!!!1! THAT IS SO BITCHIN’!!! and you know what he did?
HE SENT ME ONE!!!:
In which I tell you technical crap you probably don’t care about.
I’m trying to move this site from one of LISCO’s old Cobalts over to the outsourced server. Thing is, the site’s got a secure form on it and I don’t really know shit about SSL/HTTPS. I activated SSL on the new server, fine. [...]
In which you get to see my desktop!
I haven’t posted a pic of my desktop in like a thousand million quadrillion years, so here it is:
(Click to embiggen.)
I’m running Windows2kPro with WindowBlinds and Iconoid. Can’t remember where I got the wallpaper from.
Goddamn I’m cute.
In which I totally drool over obsolete electronic devices!
OMG, you guys, OMG I totally want this:
eBay: One of Every Apple Newton Made! 2000 2100 eMate & MORE!
It’s the Newton Museum’s entire collection! One of every single model of Newton ever made, plus a bunch of software!
I used to carry a Newton or two, back in [...]
In which I absolutely gush about an electronic device you don’t give a shit about.
I haven’t been doing much with the blog these past two days because I’ve been playing with my new iPod. Doin’ stuff like finding missing music and putting it back in my collection, adding album art, updating tags, putting anything redneck [...]
In which it’s actually my own damn fault.
Apparently I let my computer auto-dial the long distance number to my ISP from 8/21 through 9/10.
This is so unlike me. I mean, I work at an ISP, I know better than to call Fairfield when I can call Douds for free. I only ever dial the [...]
In which you can see my hard drives. Seriously.
Look! Here’s part of my desk – my work table, actually – at work.
And that’s five hard drives sitting on it. One’s my back up drive, one’s Buzzdoctor’s drive that I currently have data on, one’s toast, one’s my home drive, and the other is just some [...]
In which my computer shits the bed and makes me really mad, considering all the crap I’ve been through with my work computer this past month.
Friday night, Brett asked me to get on the ‘net and look up the board track races in Davenport. Having no idea what “board track” races were, I surfed for [...]
I’ve been using Firefox exclusively, and I hate what IE does when I run it so much that I haven’t been bothering to check my templates for IE backwards-compatibility.
Which means I didn’t even know until just now that several of my Wordpress templates render improperly in IE!
Why didn’t anybody tell me! Ack! I feel like [...]
Continue reading about I hate Internet Explorer, that piece of shit
Since my phone hasn’t been holding a charge for more than three hours at a time, and Brett’s has been rather sketchy in the functioning department for lo these many moons now, we stopped by the kiosk at Walmart in Ottumwa today and got new phones.
It took well over an hour.
You can get Lasik [...]
I’ve migrated my good ol’ blog to WordPress.
Why?
Why not. Seemed like something to do.
Actually, that’s a lie. I did it because WP has more and cooler style templates, and because – unlike MT – it’s free. I’ll probably migrate the whole site to WP since it was so blessedly easy.
Off to play with [...]
