I’ve been noticing how on one of my favorite webcomics, Dr. McNinja, the page that displayed each comic was loading pretty slow.
Before:

So, my new bookshelf came in today. Looks good, but methinks I should have gotten a wider one. Meh.
Well, here’s some pics of my new bookshelf and the current state of my home office. Click on the images for flickr-y extras.
So I implemented that mod_rewrite hack (but added string sanitizing, etc.) on a project for a client.
The other morning, it failed spectacularly. It was definitely one of those “But it worked fine yesterday” moments that we all love.
In this instance, the host uses cPanel (an out-of the-box hosting solution), and I was not able to […]
If you have things to do, please skip this.
I ran across this game a few weeks ago, got hooked, and beat it. It is a 2D flash-based version of the game Portal (watch the trailer), that I can’t wait to get my hanbs on (*cough*Sonny*cough*).
So, you can play this flash version in fullscreen here. Bookmark […]
Some of you may be asking yourself “What is Blue Beanie Day?” and hopefully even fewer are asking “What are Web Standards?”
Well, I’ll just pretend you didn’t ask the latter, but point you here just in case.
Actually, if you asked the first question, you should click on that above link anyway. Long story short, some […]
Well, more like Rack-Mount Server Sale! Not really. Mostly a giveaway. I’m moving this weekend, and don’t want to bring the following items with me:
2 x 1U Cobalt RAQ4
1 x 2U Case
3 x 4U Case
1 x regular mid-tower Case
Some of the have hardware in them, you can have that too.
I also have a HP ProCurve […]
Sorry about that last post. I apparently haven’t beer posted in a while.
Anyways, I just read about a potential breakthrough in hard disk storage technology that could bump up the amount of data you can store on a chip or drive by a factor of 100. That’s pretty serious. This would mean faster data […]
So, forget about hanging out with part of the family, both old and new, tonight.
My friend Kat was trying to relay some bit of information to me tonight, and I apparently kept interrupting her about a name/idea for derby that I had come up with. She called me out on it.
In the short amount of […]
On Saturday, I learned through the bike shop that my friend Gene’s wife, Marcy, had suffered a serious stroke. The next day, a Slashdot article on communicating with hospitalized people was put on their main page, and I sent it to Tim who had been visiting Marcy and their family.
Through the subsequent comments/links to […]
I haven’t gotten around to that. So in lieu, three things:
Congrats to Mikey, whose team will compete in the DARPA Grand Challenge with two new friends/hashers of mine, Just Matt and and Just Aaron. Go Team Gray!
Tomorrow is the Red Dress Run.
Secondly, tonight is the first Saints home game of the season! Who Dat!, Bitches!
