Updating WordPress

It wouldn’t be so tedious, if they would make things consistent. Well, maybe not consistent, but in-line with what I want. First, when I have to update Wordpress itself, I’m presented with a prompt to update on the control panel. There are two options, “Upgrade Automatically”, which I can’t use since I don’t like setting all [...]

Xmas 2009

The War on Christmas is over for this year. I received a western saddle for our horse. I tried it out, and Argo was apparently really happy, so he cantered for me. Which is great since I’ve never cantered on him before. However, the horn functioned as a handy “Oh shit!” bar. In other news, someone called [...]

Why Do Rappers Hold Their Guns Sideways

Well, I don’t know about you, but I always thought it was to look “cool”. Because, you know, when bullets are flying everywhere the best way to be sure that you hit your target is to not use the sights on the gun, and hold it sideways. At least then, the people that kill you [...]

Launch Control

Well, the Z31 is now officially mine. Sort of. I still have to wait for the title to arrive in the mail, but that can’t change the fact that it is now in my name. Finally! Now I just need to pass an inspection. That’s going to be the hardest part. Although, I read up on [...]

Toby Keith, Right or Wrong

This doesn’t surprise me. Toby Keith, the man responsible for “Red, White, and Blue”, and “War on Christmas”, spurts that America should fight evil, no matter what, unless, of course, that evil is defined differently than his conservative Christian point of view. Why does Obama have a Nobel prize? What has he done, exactly?

However, I might have been a little too bold. Removing the IE7 Beta also [...]

Hiding the Decline

Nothing like a bunch of idiots running around with two emails, out of a thousand, declaring it as “proof” that Global Warming is a myth. If they had only read the rest of the emails instead of the out of context lines. But no, it’s just a massive conspiracy propagated by nearly all scientists around the world. [...]

Signal Strength: High, No, Wait Loooowww

I was studying some maths while downloading OpenOffice updates, and I noticed that Windows was a little confused as to what the signal strength of the wireless here was. Click to enlarge and see what I’m talking about. Yes, I did mspaint it, but just to get both tooltips to display at the same time. No, [...]

100th Post! (…and Megasquirt Woes)

Hum, 100 posts. 100 posts about random crap, but 100 nonetheless. Speaking of random, I was (am) attempting to make my own version of the MegaLogViewer for Megasquirt. In this attempt, I happened to notice that my Z31 cranks at 280-325 or so RPM. This is not a big deal, it’s just that I have my [...]
