Vitriol posts are an interesting thing.

Let me share a bit of history for those that don’t know me. When I was young, that is to say very, very young (IE up to about 2nd grade), I was a very angry child. I was what they call a “Roman candle”, the littlest spark would set me off into a huge storm [...]

BRB versus AFK

I often find myself thinking about the most random things. Sometimes, afterward, I worry about how much time I’ve actually spent thinking about these mostly random topics. Though who cares, right? Today, you get to join me in my random wanderings around the mind of me, because I feel like sharing and by some deity [...]

Why bother buying local?

This is a serious question I’m grappling with today. I went to the local camera store and saw a lens for my Nikon that I really wanted. They told me it was $400, ok, no big deal. I checked Amazon while still in the store and it was $336. How can I in good conscience [...]

Blog Go Boom

So as you may have noticed, my blog got beaten to death yesterday by Digg. It was my own fault of course, but it was a hilarious experiment none the less. I’m taking my weekend off to relax, and play some Halo 3. I’ll be back on Monday with something new and interesting, I promse. [...]

Digg makes baby Apache cry

Yea. My little digg experiment worked. Too well… Digg keeps crashing apache. I keep restarting it. Be patient. Update – 2007-09-28 @ 16:43 While I’m still getting a good amount of traffic from Digg, Apache hasn’t crashed in a few hours. I’ll keep an eye on things, but it seems like the worst is over. [...]

Introducing…

I’d like to take this post to briefly introduce you to John, today’s guest blogger. Please note: He spells his name funny and weird, and by that I mean he uses more letters than needed – but oh well. I guess he wants to be “unique”. Regardless, John has done a segment about DBA (Database [...]

The internet is for….

…Bots. You thought I was going to say porn, didn’t you? Well obviously the internet isn’t for porn, its for bots. God damn my site has been hammered to hell the last couple months. I made some more ban changed mid last week, namely banning the entire internet. If you are reading this, you are [...]

UK Terror Plot & Ban on Liquid

So for those of you living under a rock, there was a terror plot in the UK that was foiled. The problem is that they were going to use liquid’s for the bomb, so the UK has banned carry ons. In the US they banned all liquids. I was watching Anderson Cooper 360°, and some [...]

Rain is Good

This evening on my way home I looked up at the sky and thought “a storm is coming”. It wasn’t anything overt that really gave it away, its simply that once you live somewhere long enough you learn the weather. Of course this evening we got some lightning, the part that was surprising is that [...]

Neglecting the Blog

Yes, I know I’ve been neglecting my blog. Lots of excuses but nothing really matters. I’m going to try to get back in the swing of things, so bear with me (oh, and PS – its too damned hot to goto the range so nothing in guns is likely to come up for a while)
