Something in the server configuration running this site has changed, causing my PHP script to add blog entries to not work, and I can’t quite figure out why. (Incidentally, this is also why there’s a big gap since the last post.) My script is supposed to send an authentication header to the browser, for simple… Continue reading Grrrrrr
Progress Quest!
What is Progress Quest? Think of Nethack and Seti@Home rolled into one: It’s an online RPG that runs autonomously on your computer, in the background. You start it up, create a character, and go; everything is automatic and it even does away with the “annoying” aspects of fantasy roleplaying: dying, wandering around mazes, solving puzzles.… Continue reading Progress Quest!
The Boob Tube
I definitely watch way too much TV. Each year around the end of the TV season I reach some sort of critical mass where I just want to throw out the TV and not watch anything again, and use the time I spend in front of the zombie box in much better ways. Way, way… Continue reading The Boob Tube
Rock!
Spider-Man rules! I have to admit, I had initial doubts for some time now, but after seeing it tonight, “Spider-Man” turned out to be a great movie— one of the best comic book adaptions that I’ve ever seen. I was blown away by how good the web slinging/swinging effects were; extremely realistic, with Spider-Man moving… Continue reading Rock!
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can
We’re going out to see “Spider-Man” tomorrow! I actually get to go see a movie, and on opening day, no less! Last movie in the theater we saw was “The Mothman Prophecies”— not my choice, an entirely forgettable movie, pass it by— and before that, I was able to make it to “The Lord of… Continue reading Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can
Nuts
It’s been one of those days at work which is just driving me nuts because pretty much all I’m doing is fixing old problems rather than getting current and new things done. No progress has been made. It’s those mindless, repetitive things that you have to do over and over again to fix them, and… Continue reading Nuts
Pong!
Man, I can’t stop playing the Pong game at G4’s website (the new video game cable channel). It’s a single player Pong game, you versus the computer. I can’t beat it— the game goes to 21 points, and I haven’t been able to score more than 10 or 11 points before getting whupped. And yet,… Continue reading Pong!
Echinacea Master
Staving off sickness all around me. A kid at Kaitlyn’s daycare had hand, foot and mouth disease, and a co-worker’s kid has strep. So I’ve been sucking down echinacea like it’s going out of style, because Tuesday I felt like I was starting to get sick. Just lovely. Also, don’t forget to read up on… Continue reading Echinacea Master
Yes, I was a French Major
The dice tumbled across the table, bounced in unison against the far end and skidded to a halt. The woman in the red dress looked up, her full pouty lips pursed in excitement. Her face was bright and intelligent; her dress faltered to reveal sensuous thigh when she moved. “You’ve won again, Mr.—” She paused.… Continue reading Yes, I was a French Major
Roommates & Fraud
Second entry already. Whaddya know. Got a call today from a Greg Madigan at RoommateAccess.com regarding the old chuggnutt website I used to have on Tripod. I hadn’t updated this old site in about 2 years, and apparently someone based in New York used my old website and signed up for the Roommate Access affiliate… Continue reading Roommates & Fraud
