Is your dashboard sticky?
One of my pet peeves is eating in the car. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with munching on a nutrition bar or drinking a soda in transit but there’s something seriously wrong with attempting to balance an entire meal on your knee while driving. Like mobile phones, not only is it a […]
WebGUI Configuration Tricks
Database Name The database name can be changed on the dsn line of the WebGUI.conf configuration file. This is convenient if multiple WebGUI instances will be run on the same server or if WebGUI tables must be inserted into an existing database. Tuning mod_perl In order to get the best performance out of WebGUI, mod_perl […]
Where do you stash your media?
Now that you’ve gone through your entire CD collection and ripped everything, what do you do with the media? And no, I don’t mean bringing all your discs down to the local music store and selling everything used to pay for an iPod. I’m interested in sealed long term archival storage since, for the most […]
Atkins evangelism…
It’s official…Andrew, my navigator, will be starting a mix of Atkins and The Hacker’s Diet to drop 30 or so pounds. We had quite a long discussion about it this evening and he’s quite psyched…especially after he stayed for dinner. Grilled steak, grilled chicken, mozzarella with spices in oil and cheese, spinach and artichoke dip […]
Toilegami
I had always suspected that there was a complete science behind the proper usage of toilet paper. Everyone has their own individual ritual when it comes to exploring their nether regions. So, not only do most people have their own highly customized system, but they also evangelize when given the chance.
Evidence Eliminator Sucks
A recent article on Slashdot shows that Evidence Eliminator is back in the news. This time they’ve released the rabid lawyers in an attempt to shut down and silence Eric Lee Green, one of the primary critics of Evidence Eliminator on the Internet today. Some may remember my previous entry on the subject…this goes to […]
Rudy Rucker – The Hacker and the Ants
It really is a small world. An old girlfriend purchased a copy of The Hacker and the Ants for my birthday and, due to its cheesy title, I was reluctant to read it. I eventually picked it up and turned it into a quick afternoon read. Overall, I was quite amused by the storyline and […]
The right tool for the job…
It has been said to always use the right tool for the job. Sometimes what seems to be the right tool for the job, in actuality, is not. I just spent the last two hours fighting with a compressor and an automotive spray gun trying to prime our exercise room with Gripper. Logic would dictate […]
Power Genitalia
Power Genitalia…sounds like some strange new form of penis enlarger or sex toy. Nope…it’s actually an Italian firm that produces power generation products. You’d think that someone would check up on these things…
Commemoration
Waternoodle Thugette 0wn3d Yesterday was my twenty-seventh birthday. I think…carry the two, yeah, twenty-seventh. Kelly put together a small barbecue party, we had some friends over and we took full advantage of the children’s wading pool and the new deck set. A simple meal of hot dogs and hamburgers was served with dozens of condiments […]
