The Straylight Run
It’s been a busy week. Well, if you consider skateboarding for a minimum of 10 hours a day “busy”, but let’s go over my computing endeavors since I last posted.
New Computer For Grandma
My grandma has an old 700mhz Celeron-based Hewlett Packard Pavilion for email and solitaire. It would serve her purposes nicely, except that it’s [...]
New Hard Drive
Picked up a Western Digital 300gb Caviar a couple days ago on Newegg that finally came in the mail about 12 hours ago. Took about an hour to back up, an hour to format, and the next FIVE HOURS were spent setting my computer back up to my liking. I need to get a disk [...]
Batman Begins….Again
Hit up a matinee showing of Batman Begins on Friday afternoon and I will most likely see it at least once more in the theaters, if only to kill time until Land of the Dead. Batman Begins is just incredible, especially if you’re a fan and still feel insulted by Joel “I Ruined Batman” Schumacher’s [...]
Batman Begins
Just got home with my advance ticket to see Batman tonight! As a huge fan and Batman purist, I’ve felt a little left out by all the top-notch superhero movies recently (Both XMen movies, both Spiderman movies, etc). I’ve been waiting for YEARS for a movie to do my hero justice, and I’m pretty sure [...]
Kids are dumb, freestyle is fun
So my sleeping schedule is currently what most people would consider “normal”, but I don’t have a single friend that would agree. Whenever I’m in “normal” sleeping schedule mode, I end up with a LOT of boring mornings while my friends are all fast asleep. This normally means solo morning skate sessions. It’s not the [...]
Your Guide to Free Breakfast
One of my favorite things in the world is having “breakfast” after staying up all night. The only thing that could possibly make it better is getting it for free. How? It’s almost too easy. You’ll soon be thinking “Why didn’t I think of that?”, but more importantly, you’ll soon be getting free breakfast.
Any typical [...]
Gleaming the Cube
Oh god, my new addiction…
From the Cube site:
Cube is an open source multiplayer and singleplayer first person shooter game built on an entirely new and very unconventional engine. Cube is a landscape-style engine that pretends to be an indoor FPS engine, which combines very high precision dynamic occlusion culling with a form of geometric mipmapping [...]
iimage Gallery Installed…
Needed a way to insert thumbnailed images into my posts that would serve as links to full-size versions of the pictures. Hey, it only took me THREE HOURS, but I got iimage Gallery installed and configured to my liking. The problem was a lot of the customization techniques he describes on his site only work [...]
Patched!
Patched a two-week-old security vulnerability today. Blog software upgraded to 1.5.1.2.
Brain’s Birthday
Well Brain was supposed to be in town last Saturday, but there was a delay. Apparently the area where his Baclofen pump was inserted got infected and he’ll have to stay in Denver for another week or two while the infection clears up. Today is his birthday and I can’t get to sleep. We should [...]
