Upgrades, lockdowns, and fun statistics

I’m too tired to say much of anything right now, except that I have updated WordPress to version 2.2, and Gallery to 2.2.1. Things should be a bit speedier and more stable. Other than that, I doubt that there’s anything new and exciting about the upgrades. I witnessed a spectacular thunderstorm tonight. Driving home was [...]

Birthdays, highways, mice, and comments not nice

So yesterday (Wednesday) was my brother’s birthday; unfortunately, I was out most of the day at work, so I basically only saw him long enough to say “happy birthday” this morning, and then talk to him some after work. I offered to treat him to either the Cheesecake Factory or Jimbo’s (yum!) on a weekend [...]

Lemon Demon blows my mind

I was turned on to Lemon Demon after meeting its founder, Neil Cicierega, at Monique’s pirate party a few weekends ago. Chris and Josh and Matt have since told me how his videos have gotten millions of views, and he’s known across the country. I had no idea he was such a phenomenon. But, well, [...]

Busy days at work, porno sounds, and fine art

Work will be crazy today. I have to go in early; lots and lots of activity expected on the loading dock. I will wear my relatively-less-nice red dress shirt instead of the usual selection. I’m meeting new people, too. Elvin in Security, Khin in Service Express, a slew of new coordinators in Convention Services. Angel [...]

The mercury’s rising, as are my spirits

The temperature climbed to over 90º today, and it was bright and sunny all day long. It was glorious, and a sure sign that summer has arrived. I’m elated. Other than the arrival of the hot weather, not much happened today. I spent the better part of the day trying to get the cable internet [...]

The X-Files, and a mildly productive day

The combination of cable TV and my nocturnal habits is a recipe for disaster. TNT has just shown three episodes of The X-Files in a row. It is at once entirely satisfying and entirely inconvenient for its timing. Either way, yesterday was a mildly productive day. I woke up late, started cleaning my room, and [...]

Bulleted points are nice when there’s no coherent narrative

When you’ve got a collection of not-exactly-related topics, what better way to organize them than to put them all in a giant bulleted list? Taxes, my vanquished enemy! I have completed you, and am demanding a refund! I got my taxes filed and in the mail today. Hopefully, with the rather substantial sum I’ll be [...]

My Box In a Box: Secrets revealed

Watch as the world learns the secret behind My Box In a Box in this exclusive video with its creators. Watch as one of them is clearly regreting a trip to London. The fancy YouTube movie-box doesn’t seem to be showing up for me. If this is the case for you, you can watch the [...]

On the topic of general geekery

I am so 1337. w00t! I just made my first page in PHP: My Very First PHP. Aww, it’s so cute. I can also do some rudimentary things in the UNIX or Linux command line, like connect to servers, navigate through directories, and edit files. I think I’m on the way to becoming an old-school [...]
