Boot Camp: Comments from the Peanut Gallery

In Computing, Entertainment, Web on 4 May 2006 tagged Apple, Computing, Entertainment, Web with no comments

dria just sent me this link and I’ve been having such a hoot reading it that I had to post about it. Louderback is both insane and extremely bitter. Probably from having to justify his outlandish opinions that PeeCees are Teh OSome! Column from PC Magazine: Boot Camp: Apple Bobs for Suckers Louderback, you hack! [...]

Thinking about redesign

In General, Web on 1 May 2006 tagged General, Meta, Web with 2 comments

I’ve been staring at this page now for almost a week wracking my brain about what to do with it. On the one hand, I kind of like the style and the riff on the Logic Pro app. On the other, it looks pretty ugly. To be perfectly honest, it looked dated when I made [...]

The Big Noob?

In General, Web on 18 April 2006 tagged General, Web with no comments

The Big Noob™ – BRAD SMITH (X THE JANITOR): Do these people know who I am? I think they may be infringing on my perman3wb trademark. Also, they have the gall to be recognized for a kick-ass website design when the n3wblog got passed right over. I think it was probably an oversight, but nevertheless, [...]

In Computing, General, Web on 17 April 2006 tagged Apple, Computing, General, Web with 6 comments

It’s that time again. Time to get out of the “Big City” and reprogram myself with a bit of east coast comfort and relaxation. So far, the weather’s been shitty and kind of cold which has impeded our ability to do things. Dria and I still managed to sneak out and see some ocean yesterday [...]

I’ve been using .Mac for almost a year now and recently had an email to check my credit card info to make sure it’s up-to-date for the auto renewal that is about to take place. I gotta say, it’s hard to justify since I’m unable to sync my machines at the moment. For the past [...]

Downloading doesn’t +hurt the+ recording industry: CRIA

In Entertainment, Freedom, Web on 23 March 2006 tagged Entertainment, Freedom, Law, Music, Web with 9 comments

(updated to fix the messed-up title – don’t post while being distracted by calls to lunch, kids! You’ll mess it up and look quite the fool…) OMG. Someone has finally done a study that says exactly what I’ve been saying all along: People who download music often do so as a prelude to buying the [...]

iPhoto -> WordPress + Gallery2 = Long Sunday

In Computing, Web on 13 March 2006 tagged Apple, Computing, Software, Web with 12 comments

Good morning. How was your weekend? Mine was good, thanks for asking! That image (of my hot TT) is from my gallery installation. Click it to see the big image! It was a bit of a bitch to setup because the default mod_rewrite rules that gallery2 generates are not entirely compatible with wordpress’. After a [...]
