bloody wankers…

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

I’m not much of a world news guy but this comment I read really captured my feelings about today’s tragic events:

“If there is one lesson to be gained from the 20th century, it would be that bombing London isn’t going to achieve a damn thing.”

Yep.

dashboard posting test…

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Testing out a new Dashboard widget called WordPressDash. If this post shows, I guess it works.

Edit: Could use some more functionality, but it works.

Yep, haven’t been around. Sorry about that… been running out of time lately. I took a second job and I’m battling a numb left index finger. Kind of makes it hard to type.

Gah… things are starting to sound like a diary around here. I’ll cut that out…

edit: you know, comments are open again… feel free to do so.

quickies…

Friday, May 13th, 2005

Haven’t written in a while… maybe because no one is reading…

Anyway, some quickies.

  • I didn’t watch the xbox 360 unveiling last night because a) I was at a baseball game and b) since it was on MTV I assumed it wasn’t for me anyway. It probably didn’t matter. I’ve deadened my hearing to hype.
  • Some site changes are (hopefully) coming up. New sections, alternate designs, upgraded backend, etc., etc.
  • I have some more game-related posts in the queue waiting for me to finish them. Speaking of which… thanks to Design Synthesis for linking to me.
  • Tiger is pretty neat. I like how Safari handles RSS feeds and Mail works better than before with my Exchange server at work. I had a problem getting iChat to work (which I’m only using because Tiger seems to have broken Fire and a coworker wanted to test out the video conferencing stuff) but dumping the preference files seemed to fix it.

they found me…

Just received (and deleted) my first set of comment spam. I’m somebody now…

edit: small change made to the comments that will hopefully stop the spam… if it doesn’t, then I’ll have to disable it while I research a more robust way of killing the messages.

edit2: commenting has been suspended until further notice. thanks mr. spammer. All those posts for a site that doesn’t get any hits…

I was so confused…

Thank you, Apple, for clearing up this matter

no windows…

Monday, April 18th, 2005

Here’s something odd for you fellow mac-heads. If you’ve updated OSX to 10.3.9, turn on your debug menu in Safari. Open up a blank tab or window. Click on debug and select “Use Transparent Window” in the list. Surprisingly enough, you get just what you’d expect. A transparent browser window. It works on any page that doesn’t have a color or background image declared for the body tag.

Strange little feature, no?

I know, I know…

The site still looks terrible in Win IE and Opera. Luckily, I have test machine for a week to get things right. I’ll fix it tomorrow along with (perhaps) updating WordPress. Tonight, my Tar Heels will be playing in the Final Four and I have plans to travel to the bars on Franklin Street.

Phillipe runs with a cowboy hat on.

The author of perhaps my favorite webcomic just had a baby. Would it kill ya’ to buy some of his stuff to say congrats?

New Site!

Well what do you know? It works.

As if the world needed it, another blog. This one is about games, design, culture, and good drink.

You’ll see.
