David Hasselhoff is looking really old these days
I just watched the new Knight Rider movie (which was essentially the pilot episode for a new series), and wow. I really enjoyed it. I just recently spent some time watching the original series, and it was just as disappointing as every other show I really Read More...
The life of a developer
I just got home. Ok, that's not strictly accurate. I got home about 20 minutes ago. Before I sat down at the computer, I took a shower because, well, I needed it. Without getting into too much detail, I'm the tester for Komponent Y on Feature Read More...
My Operating System Odyssey
Forgive the overwhelming geekiness of this post, but - no, I take that back. If you don't like this, I hate you. Over the last week, I've made some big changes to my computing environment at home. I figured that I'd record some of my observations Read More...
I have people skills! Don't you understand that? What the hell is the matter with you people?
People have often told me that I have fairly good people skills, and that I get along well with others. This is amazing in and of itself because I typically detest other members of the so-called Human race, and try to avoid them whenever possible. Especially Read More...
Confessing My Sins: I Like Having Unsafe Hex
Sometimes, when I know that people or businesses check their website referral logs (which indicate where visitors came from and where they left to), I like to go to really disgusting or strange porn sites, then to their site, and then to another porn Read More...
Yo Soy a Goth Motherfucker
I'm going gothing with Laeren this weekend. Pic 1 Pic 2 You want to have my children, and you know it, you dirty, dirty girl. Read More...
You didn't really hack the Apple TV
... no, you really didn't. You know why? Because you're advertising this as the world's cheapest Mac. It simply isn't, and the reason for that is because the hack instructions require that you have a Mac to begin with. Well, I don't. Read More...
Windows Media Center Tip - Use other files, stupid
So, I ripped all my movies to WMV files. When they show up in Media Center, however, MCE just picks a random scene from the movie, and shows that as the thumbnail for the movie which is not terribly intuitive. I found a way to make this all better, though. Read More...
Windows Home Server On the Cheap... sort of.
My buddy, Robert McLaws, recently posted about how he built his beta Home Server for under $500 (he says that he's using it during the beta and will buy an OEM one when it's released... I actually think that building your own is the best bet). Read More...
Mikey's Home Entertainment Project: Phase 2
I wrote about this a while ago, but I never provided much detail. It seems to me that this is working out pretty well, and that maybe other people will want to do this at some point. So, here ya go. I have a relatively large collection of DVDs. It's Read More...
Experimentation: Aero style
I'm experimenting with different themes on here... This is the Windows Vista AERO style, which I kind of like. I'm trying to do CSS-y things to make it look better, but I'm failing as you can plainly tell from the title text. Consider this Read More...
Bring back the mints
It's almost 3 in the morning, and I'm still not asleep. The pills are working, sort of. I can feel parts of my brain going off and on line, but I'm not falling asleep. Being sick sucks. However, had I not been sick and unable to sleep, I wouldn't Read More...
