The O’Blog

It was released today and I was about ready to call complete shite on it, but I changed my mind. The first thing I did was to fire up my rss feed for my TodayFM rips, and lo and behold, it's all messed up. It would only show one file, download it, but [...]

We've still got a few more hours to have some shit happen, so let's have it!
NPR and PBS are losing their federal funding most likely. It's up to the senate to save it, but they probably won't this time around. I've been listening to NPR bitch all day about this with the possible [...]

Believe it or not, I started this little project when I moved into my place on Bedford St. back in 1/2001. My first one that I made in '98 grew out of control with snails somehow and no matter what I did, they always came back and multiplied into the hundreds. So when [...]

So, I meant to write this up last night while it was still fresh in my mind, but as I sat down to surf for the night I get the call that it's beers at the terrace tonight… and well, that trumps all.
Rewinding a bit, Monday had not gone all that swimmingly well and Tuesday [...]

Tonight I wrote up an all in one step mangler for the Lost in Translation page. Basically, pick a method like English -> Dutch -> English, and it will do the two steps in one go, instead of you going to Babelfish and running it twice with a bunch of copy and paste. [...]

I decided to drop the dough on an Airport Express over the weekend for the sole use of using AirTunes. Perhaps that's a waste, but I want less wires around my machine and I want other machines to play music that exist on other machines, and then have it all play on my stereo. [...]

I feel like crouching behind a bush and then shooting to kill every single one of the fucks on this page while they're not looking. You know, just for the thrill of the hunt.
Zimbabwe Wildlife Safaris
There's goddamned lions, leopards and even an elephant in there!!! If there is a hell, I hope they [...]

In typical WI fashion, we had Spring sometime here already and it was probably only a week long. Maybe less. I don't remember when it was, but Summer came early, that I do know. It was almost hotter today than anytime in nearly the last 2 years and there was insane humidity on [...]

….not different.
So the absurd rumors last week were true. In fact, all the rumors for years now have been. Every keynote from his Steveness I have watched with anticipation, but being an all-day, no computer using worker now, I didn't have that opportunity today. So I figure I'll get home from work [...]
