A Day in Paradise

This was meant to be an April fools day joke, but I’m to tired to think of something sufficiently funny… so I’ll get right to the punch line. Instead of dealing with mysql and mysqli, xmlrpc and xmlrpci we create a PHP fork called… drumroll please…

OK, enough with the groans… have a good evening and […]

Waxy.org: Daily Log: Wordpress Website’s Search Engine Spam
What bothers me the most about this is the hypocritical stand that the wordpress team took when they hardcoded the rel=nofollow into wordpress. With one hand they block links which most of the time are properly used, and with the other they spam search engines.
Well… they’ve been added […]

One Small Step For Hand [The Present Tense - BME/News]
Amal’s site is here, which includes a FAQ where he answers the “Mark of the Beast” question. The question that needs to be asked is not “Is this the mark of the beast” which the obvious answer is No, but rather, “Could this be used as […]

TechWeb | News | iPods Attract Sticky Fingers | Mar. 30, 2005
From coast to coast, from Canada to Mexico, police blotters are filled with reports of stolen iPods. New York subways have been particularly hard hit, but college dorms from Pennsylvania to California and high schools virtually everywhere are reporting widespread theft of the iPods. […]

NewsForge | Building an Internet radio recorder with VLC Player
One of those things I need to do some day… maybe once I get this friggin bandwidth cap lifted!

Seth Nickell - Design Fu : xshots
You gotta watch the movies… pretty neat effect, the only purpose I can see is to convince your boss you need a new graphics card for your “work”…
I guess there are worse things you can do with your time than coding eyecandy… /me wonders how much time will […]

amaztype
This has got to be one of the most original uses of Amazon web services I’ve seen!
Very clever, very artistic.
I was a member of the “Flash is Evil” crowd for a _long_ time. However it seems that either Flash has matured to a state where it is more useful than an animated gif replacement, or […]

Poynter Online - The Next Big Thing in Online Type
And they are totally georgous! Well, at least the Serif fonts… I’ve never been very big on san serif fonts. Arial generally gives me everything I need in that department, but Corbel is nice.
Constantia is by far the best. The lower-case ‘f’ is a bit unusual. […]

Biography for Dolph Lundgren
Interesting tidbit from the “can’t-judge-a-book-by-its-cover” department. It turns out that Dolph Lundgren (actually Hans Lundgren, but that doesn’t sound nearly as scary as Dolph) has a Masters degree in “Blowing Sh*t Up!”… actually from his biography: “Dolph Lundgren attended the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He received a master’s degree […]

50 people see… - a photoset on Flickr
Thanks to enygma this very cool photoset from Flickr was brought to my attention. Flicker which, as predicted (I really did think I blogged about it), just got bought by none other than lunatech’s new corperate overlords…
I’m betting the first thing that goes from Flickr are the […]

phil ringnalda dot com: Just how much power does Google need?
Saw this on ub this morning.
According to this theory, Google’s The Dalles server farm could not only get huge amounts of power from the The Dalles Dam, but also use the water flowing through the dam to cool their servers.
Not a bad idea. I wonder […]

I was banging around in computer store and they had a rack of cheap DVDs. I picked out 2 double Silly Symphony DVD sets, everything done in 1935-1936. Some really good classics on there, I’m not sure if I enjoy them more than the kids.
The title is a line from “The Wise Little Hen”…
Gay […]

now I still need to find out why my bandwidth usage is so friggin high! I mean 100mb/day from JUST Working on a live website, IRC, Skype (no talking), Instant Messenging, RSS, and of course mail…
Seems a bit high doesn’t it? Or maybe not…

I can’t find the rhyme in all my reason
I’ve lost sense of time and all seasons
I feel I’ve been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
I can’t sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from […]
