Apropos Comics
Filed in blog, Wed, 12 Jan 2005, 1:21 pmJess at Apropros of Something has been rewriting old comics. I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING BEFORE READING THESE. Seriously, this is some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read.
Uncreative Spammers
Filed in blog, , 11:11 amWhat happened to all the cute philosophical snippets that came with links to cheap v|@ge rA? Where are the random quotes that pointed me to online gambling sites? Lately the spammers have just gotten lazy, and are posting comments with 20-30 links and no real text to try to hide it. I don’t really understand [...]
Ghosts of Floppies Past
Filed in blog, Tue, 11 Jan 2005, 1:02 amI’m sorting through a lot of my old computer crap that has followed me through the years in an effort to clean up the home office front. While rebuilding my server and dumping old cases will help a great deal, there’s still tons of old CDs and floppies lying around for no particular reason. This [...]
My Nerd Score

Not very surprising. As much of a nerd/geek I’ve been most of my life, I break a lot of the stereotypes.

Wha’ppen?
Filed in blog, Fri, 7 Jan 2005, 3:52 pmSo I told you that things got all fudged up on Tuesday, but gave nary a detail. Now I’ll try to recount my stupidity.
For starters, I absolutely LOVE the way WordPress has been progressing. And due to my impatience, I became a fairly early adopter of using the more “cutting edge” builds. I just couldn’t [...]
Take that, Apple!
Filed in blog, Thu, 6 Jan 2005, 12:15 pmApparently I’m suing Apple. That’s right, I’ve grown tired of not being able to use other stores with my iPod… Wait a second, I don’t own an iPod. And I’m not from California. Is this some sort of evil twin? With the same name? Who probably doesn’t even look like me?!?!
I found it amusing. Especially [...]
We now resume our regularly scheduled blog
Filed in blog, Wed, 5 Jan 2005, 12:29 amIf you happened to be poking around the site the last few hours, I’m sure you noticed that it… well, it wasn’t there. A simple upgrade and permalink adjustment turned into a huge fiasco that brought the whole site offline. That’s what you get for insisting on running off nightly builds. I’m too tired to [...]
Frankenstein
Filed in blog, Tue, 4 Jan 2005, 4:02 pmDoes any song come even close to rockin’ as hard as The Edgar Winter Group’s “Frankenstein”? The radio can tune in at any point during that song, and I can’t help but smile. Why are today’s listeners so obsessed with lyrics?
Dear Spammers
Filed in blog, Mon, 3 Jan 2005, 11:38 pmNuclear Moose has a message for spammers. Personally, I’m just growing bored. The other week I got hit with about 800+ in a matter of a couple hours. About 95% of them were caught by the basic comment moderation that’s built into WP. Not even a challenge. And now the new 1.5 beta I’m running [...]
Words of Wisdom
Filed in blog, , 11:20 pmNew Years was another typical wonderful day spent with my family (sans Kathleen and Curtis, who weren’t about to make the trek up from ‘Bama). I tend to be a tad awkward around kids (being the only one in my family who never dealt with any), but I’m getting better with my nieces and nephews [...]
