Enter year four

Crap. I was sure I would get my “blogiversary” right this year. It’s at the end of February - the 26th, to be exact. Not that difficult to remember. Of course, I kept forgetting what date I am currently living in, which is why I just noticed that today is the 27th. Yeehaw.
Anywho, it was [...]

Bad at this

Playing around with that fastr game (in which you try to guess the common tags between random pictures on flickr), I’ve realized the biggest drawback to folksonomy: people are generally bad at tagging things. For example, a selection of photos came up in which pretty much each one focused on a single flower - most [...]

So sorry

I feel the need to apologize to my feeds. The feeds that I read, that it. I had to make a very difficult decision the other day. Regardless of difficulty, it NEEDED to be made. And thus, I deleted all of the unread posts that were older than a day or two for my less-than-daily [...]

Theme a day

Hey all you Wordpress users. I’m sure you think you’re ultrcool, running k2 just like everybody else. Why not give some other themes a chance? If..else is posting a new theme each day… FOR FREE! Now, of course they won’t be as complex or sophisticated as other offerings out there (with such a limited time [...]

Such coolness

Let it be known - when I manage to redo my basement into the bar/entertainment complex that exists in my dreams, these fixtures shall be used.
(Thanks to Owen)

Too many links

For starters, I’m still trying to catch up with a couple months of disorganized RSS feeds with my aggregator. The problem lies in figuring out which feeds I really find interesting or useful. At least I have my regulars segregated so that I can keep reading them on a daily basis. I really think I’m [...]

Slaps forehead

When I moved over to this new domain at the end of December, I left at least one bit of “hacking” undone. All of the old content at neverhood.net continues to receive all traffic from links, searches, etc. even though it’s been moved over here. I knew this would be a fairly simple .htaccess trick [...]

It has come

My downfall has been announced - please welcome to this world the Canon EOS 30D.
With the purchase of the house, the wedding, and the subsequent honeymoon all expanding my credit cards at the same rate as the national debt, this purchase is obviously not on the immediate horizon. But I do hope to be able [...]

We were going to be decent people, but…

You’re vacationing in Hawaii and find a lost camera. Do you:

a. keep it, and thank the universe for the luck.
b. report it to the authorities, and help the original owner find their lost possession.
or…
c. both.

That’s right, just in case you had started to gain faith in humanity, some jerkoffs always come along and ruin it. [...]

It’s been so long…

W00t! I am online once more. I do have to give Comcast props… at least their workers. All of the installers that I’ve dealt with have been really great. At the last apartment, the guy ripped out all of the old cable and ran new stuff from the street and neatly tacked down three new [...]
