“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...ffffound!
Nagle, being the awesome guy he is, was kind enough to hook me up with an invite to ffffound yesterday. I'm actually enjoying the service quite a bit. I find it to be almost a Digg + Flickr + Pandora kind of thing. You can select images you like off the front page and...
There is so much joy in Muddvile
No Casey, no striking out, just joy. By now you all know that the Sox won the series. I can hardly fathom that not only did they win in 2004, but now they've won again. They had never won since my grandfather had been alive, and now they've won twice. It's quite a new...
Before I die
Someone radio DJ schmuck the other day asked the always interesting question "what would you really want to do before you die?" Most people called in and said things like "spend time with my loved ones". I'd agree with that whole heartedly. If a giant earth crushing...
It’s like putting together Ikea furniture
That's what setting up an ical remote calendar feels like. Mozilla Sunbird and Thunderbird (with the Lightning plugin) are supposed to "publish to a remote server via FTP" when you hit the "publish calendar" button. Unfortunatly for those of us in the real word, it...
skate
Apparently the term "save skate video" isn't quite exact enough to make finding any sort of help on the subject likely. All I was trying to do is save the embedded flash movie to a more useable format. NONE of the 400 billion firefox extensions for saving flash movies...
Unrelated
Completely unrelated to my computer... I'm trying to figure out how to embed a video I made in Skate, and then uploaded to the EA games site. Success! Now I can upload all sorts of stuff. I just had to figure out where EA was hiding it's embedded player. Muwahahaha!...
Blue Light in the Corner
It's unfortunatly been raining and really nasty outside here in the big H for the better part of two days now. That's put a bit of a hurt on my case painting. It has however, motivated me to actually assemble the components of the computer itself. They're all resting...
Photos
Couple of quick photos for you guys. First, the sides, primed, taped off and ready to be painted. Next, a test coat of paint on the top section of the front bezel. Just a first coat so it's not that smooth, much more painting left to do, but you can see what color...
King of the Bondo People
I don't really know how auto body shops actually fabricate new bumpers or how "body kits" are made, but after this week, I'm fairly secure in the knowledge that if the need arose, I could totally pimp out your Civic. After giving up on buying a new case, I did a...
Beige is the new Neon
Well, I'm back from Fry's having decided against a new case. I came close to picking up two different cases, both mid-towers without power supplies, but the construction of them was just too flimsy. I wanted a nice and simple Antec case, nothing fancy, but apparently...
