Now available…

The Daily Thing is now available on Blogshares. If you wanna make some cash, I’d suggest you invest. It’s a great deal too. Last time I checked it was $0.28 a share. Can’t beat that.

Enemy territory…

Ahh. I was informed this morning, thank you “l:Dane”, that Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is out and is available as a free, stand alone game. Nice. Unfortunately the download I get from FilePlanet.com is corrupt and gets to about 86% before dying.


Damn frustrating. I was all looking forward to tying it out too.


In Addendum: Nice. The Bit Torrent stream from the /. article works great.

In brief…

It seems I’ve been absent over the past few days. If you’ve been wondering where I was I’ve been feeling a little under the weather. For some reason, possibly the heat, I haven’t really been able to sleep at night. Couple that with a fast moving stomache bug and allergies and I’m down for the count. Let’s just say I haven’t been this drug-out in a while.


I did some writing over at CampinGuy.com  this weekend, if you read this one and not that one.


Something special, today we took our first delivery of bottled water. The water in our area is so full of chlorine, minerals, and salts that it tastes perpetually like crap even after being ran through an activate charcoal (Brita) filter. I was about ready to dig out my PUR backpacking water pump and go to town. Just awful water. Now we have cold water on demand without taking up any of the precious space needed to grow things in our refrigerator.


It’s damn hot outside. My outdoor/indoor thermometer on my desk shows it as still being around 86 degrees farenheit outside. Ick! Glad we put an air conditioner in last summer before the baby got here.


Speaking of the rugrat. Saturday will be his first birthday, man how time flies. It doesn’t seem nearly like a year. Planning cake and party stuff Sunday. Stay tuned for pics of little smiley faces smeared with cake.

There oughta be a law…

Whoa! Is it just me or should hosting on a Tripod site be illegal? Damn! They’ve taken pop-under ads to the next level, 5 off one link.

Na na naa na naa naa hey hey hey goodbye….

Ahhh. It appears Horst is on his way out also.



Wanted. I’m looking for new software to manage my blog. Radio UserLand simply isn’t up to the task anymore. I need something that can easily be used with Mac OS X, that supports trackback, multiple archive formats and multiple authors and that is less buggy than Radio. Any ideas? [The Aardvark Speaks]


 

The honest truth…

C’mon “l:joe”. Give it to us straight. We can take it.


Joe: Great idea, crappy software, and lack of upgrades, all rolled into one.


Bing! Bing! Bing! Give that man a cigar.That would be the reason that I didn’t move CampinGuy.com and make it a Radio site. It’s still a MovableType site and I plan to keep it that way. Other people I know have left Userland and even slowed their bloggins as a result of their unhappiness with Radio. This is especially bad when these people were once proponents of Userland software. It’s been a long time since Radio 8 came out. Maybe they should work on an upgrade. If not, I forsee a shrinkage of their market share.


Oh yeah. What’s up with Userland and Blogshares?


In Addendum: Newzcrawler lets me post to MT via the aggregator.

California passes anitspam legislation…

Well it’s about time.



California senate passes antispam bill. The bill presents an “opt-in” requirement requiring spammers to have permission before sending e-mail if they do not already have a business relationship with the recipient. [Computerworld News]

I think I’ll head over…

I think I’ll head over to CampinGuy.com and maybe do a little writing over there.

Step behind the curtain and undress please…

Flatulence Helps Fight Disease. British scientists say a high-tech flatus test may be the solution for those tough-to-diagnose stomach bugs. While flatulence may be the stuff of jokes, the gas could provide the ‘chemical fingerprints’ to diagnose digestive infections. [Wired News]


Man! There are just too many places to go with this one, all of them wrong. If a doctor puts his nose to my ass and tells me to fart, I ain’t gonna quit laughing for days.


More fart humor:


You ever notice there’s really 3 kinds of farters in the world? The rippers, the floaters, and the stealth bombers.


The rippers are the people who stand up and do the “motorcycle” while flatulating. The floaters will pass the all intrusive SBD and then sit there and giggle about it. The stealth bombers are by far the most deadly. They flatulate and leave the room without even warning you to open a window.


Yet MORE fart humor:


We had a family friend who used to light a match after farting. Nights after eating chili made our house look like a rock concert.
