Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
I’ve helped a few folks out with WordPress spam, and had started writing a quick and dirty FAQ on how to set it up (I’ve had close to zero spam since implementing my fixes). I was trolling the WordPress support forums, and there is a decent third-party overview of fighting comment spam on sites powered […]
Today fell into the “good” category. I actually managed to get some things accomplished at work and, it being U.S. Thanksgiving, I took the afternoon off to watch football. I met up with a bunch of the folks I worked with at Public Works Canada (now PWGSC) back when I had my own little consulting […]
MSN is carrying a little ditty on Holiday disasters. Most of them are annoying as hell, but one made me think of Lee. I won’t link to the page, because the stories really are lame, but this person seems to have the right idea on how to make any dinner a success: Recipe for Success […]
ok, continuing along the “let’s play videogames” mantra of this past weekend, I just finished a 90-minute Amplitude (still the best $20 you’ll spend on a PS2 game – trust me) session. My eyeballs feel something like glass rubbed with sandpaper and then blow-dried. The game forces you to pay attention, which means you don’t […]
…made me laugh: Q: What is the difference between Texas and yogurt? A: Yogurt has culture. Just ask z, he’ll tell you.
Yesterday was one of those days, again. There was nothing in particular, it was just another frustrating, grinding, annoying days where people got under my skin. I’m so sick of bitching, anyone have any tried and true methods beyond counting to ten and going to your Happy (Gilmore) Place? I got home, played some HL2 […]
Adobe Acrobat Reader is a dirty little bastard, leaving droppings in the park and never cleaning up after itself. On Friday I was having “issues” with Reader not opening. The splash screen would pop up, disappear, and then nothing would appear afterwards. Restarting the app just launched another process, so all I ended up with […]
The Grey Cup was pretty cool. I’m not sure it was worth the bucks, but it was an enjoyable time and a decent game. The stadium was full, which made seating a little uncomfortable, but it was such a novel experience (the last time the stadium was full was in 1988 when the Blue Bombers […]
The last few years has been relatively game-free for me. I used to buy pretty much every major title for the four game systems I owned, and freely admit I hardly ever played them. I’ve finished about 10% of the games I own, but wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the norm rather than the exception. […]
It seems my network connectivity at home is kinda sucking. I was on the phone with tech support and they said “you’re filtering ICMP”, to which my reply was “no I’m not”. He then finally got a response and said “oh, gee, that’s bad”. That’s why I’m talking to you. 🙂 ping boojum PING home […]
