I’ve hit this problem like 5 times now and each time I forget how I solve it. So I’m going to write it down now to solve it once and for all. I assume you’ve already setup your Boot Camp partition inside OS X 10.7 Lion, you’ve downloaded the Boot Camp drivers on to a…

In a previous post, I spoke of my plan to pack this theme up as a downloading something for people to use. Well, fuck that shit. I have to basically neuter it to fit all the generic WordPress junk and it’s just no fun. It’s a task for a more talented and commited web designer…

So after what was an endless month of playing Fallout 3, I’m embarking on my next project: packing up my current design into a theme that regular folk can use. It’s hard work, my hat is off to those brave women and men that make WordPress themes for others to use. Here’s what I need…

If you read my notes about installing Boot Camp 3.0, you probably walked away with the conclusion that I’m some sort of glutton for punishment. For clarification for those that reach this post via Google, I installed the RTM of Windows 7 64-bit on a non-unibody 15″ MacBookPro purchased in late 2007. What went wrong…

I’ve been floating the idea of buying a new laptop. An expensive new laptop. Like two Gs expensive. The reason being that I’m feeling very lonely over here in Mac land. My work is completely Windows-based as are all the cool games and some of the technologies I’d like to learn. So I embarked on…

This is fucking hilarious to me. The dialog is so stilted and awkward, Ricky Gervais would have a hard time coming up with something better. You can practically hear the little ™ signs as they recite the product names. Also, the camera operator is either profoundly drunk or a 10-year-old who cannot stand still and…

This is essentially a “nothing” post. Just something my digging has unearthed, something that was in plain sight all along but somebody out there might be interested. Reddit’s URLs for comments look like this: http:// www.reddit.com/ r/ [SubredditName]/ comments/ [SubmissionID]/ [SanitizedSubmissionTitle]/ The [SanitizedSubmissionTitle] part is calculated by taking the real title of the submission and…

So I’ve tried to reduce my time on the Xbox gaming in the hopes of finding the time to start a new pet project. Progress has been slow but things are starting to simmer. Idea #1 was to learn a Radiohead song on the guitar. That got old fast. They need to write easier songs…

The data I share between my phone, my laptop and my PC.

Spammers put invisible links into my Wordpress header. It looks like Dreamhost has been compromised.

A 1000-word traipse down a sepia-toned memory lane of HTML.

If you want a faster computer, uninstall anything related to Norton or Symantec.

I picked up a Wacom Tablet about a month ago. I got the cheapest one available, the Bamboo. It’s entry-level, it’s not for serious artists but it’s a very sleek package for a beginner. I don’t feel like I’ve compromised in anyway for this tablet. The size is good and the responsiveness is perfect. I…

Oh blagoblag of mine, I’ve neglected you. And you know what? I’m going to continue to neglect you. Here’s a quick list of shit I run on my Windows PC. I’m talking about Windows because even though I own a Mac, I use Windows at work and that’s where I spend most of my time…

Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer Beta: Click to enlarge image. Installed the beta of Microsoft Windows Live Writer, gave it my blog URL, username and password and it automagically downloaded my theme. Very impressive. I recommend this to anyone who blogs but doesn’t like the technical stuff. Good things: Posts look exactly like they should Much…

Somewhere along the way they upgraded the wireless stuff on the bus but they changed the name of the access point so I thought it was one of those fake ones out to steal your data. QDB: Quote #202477 (Mootar) morons. (Mootar) these people who live in my apartment complex are connected to my wireless…

Warning: This is going to be a big ‘duh’ moment for any geeks that read this site. If you look around in the media, you may hear more and more family groups that are up in arms over the enabling of young children to view pornography. Namely, technology that enables the viewing of pornography. They…
