A while ago a friend picked up a cheap music and video player. Having seen my experience with Apple and iPod first hand, he didn’t want to open that can of works or pay the dummy tax. He ended up finding a “Visual Land Motion” for $50. In terms of hardware it’s pretty cool, since …
I’ve not had much time to work on personal projects recently, and I feel bad for everyone who wants to work on/with SDLBits. I’ve updated the page to include the new location of the library, and I’ll be putting a copy on Launchpad soon. Update: SDLBits on Launchpad!
I got two nice big flat screen monitors at work and another spare computer with a smaller monitor, so I’ve setup a decent 3 monitor setup on two different computers. My main system can do three monitors, but it would have to be split between nvidia and intel video drivers, which I don’t want to …
Since I’ve been jumping between Salem, McMinnville, Keizer, Woodburn, and Willsonville (Fry’s) recently for work and all kinds of things, everyone who is paying any attention is noticing that roads are being repaired simply for the sake of spending the money and “Putting Oregon Back to Work” Interestingly, this is being noticed by the mainstream …
I’m going to be floating down the Willamette River with my co-workers on Sunday.

Now when others start doing the same they will point to Google and Verizon, “they’ve done it, we’re just following their …
I regularly enjoy the weekly episode that the Nastalgia Critic (NC) makes on That Guy With The Glasses. A few weeks ago I saw a review of a “film” called The Room, which was hilarious – since it’s probably the worst movie ever made “starring” the worst “actor” I’ve ever seen: Tommy Wiseau. A few …
I’ve been following a conversation on the chromium-dev mailing list about adding some HTTP headers so that servers can shape traffic and “control DDoS attacks”. From what I can understand the general idea is to either send a new X-Chrome-Extension header with some token that identifies that the HTTP request has came from the extension …
People make choices, and while they may be coerced by the State, nobody is as powerless as they want to appear.
My identification card expired recently. I don’t drink alcohol much, so I didn’t notice this until I went to cash my paycheck. I work on 3rd street in McMinnville and cash my paycheck across the street from where I work, which is the issuing branch of my paycheck. The first time I cashed my check …
