Shooting Star

28 July, 2008 (19:29) | Personal

I saw a shooting star last night. I’ve seen meteor showers before but this was many times brighter, brighter than any star I’d seen, and it stayed visible a relatively long time, about 2 seconds. I was taking the trash out at the time, it stopped me in my tracks.

OrtzIRC Progress

24 July, 2008 (02:10) | OrtzIRC

I was working pretty hard on OrtzIRC (compared to other projects). I discovered the awesomeness of the class diagram system and I was getting a lot of the classes laid out. Then some guys in IRC were talking about IRC fameworks and someone mentioned Thresher.
After looking at Thresher’s code I realized I was completely reinventing [...]

Dream

4 July, 2008 (21:41) | Personal

Last night I dreamed a bunch of undead skeletons were throwing onions at me.
In other news, new theme by Andreas Viklund. I’m not sure I’ll keep it though, since it looks like it doesn’t display properly in Live Writer. Horribly, in fact.

Twitter and new project and stuff

1 July, 2008 (15:27) | OrtzIRC

Maybe it’s just me. I really don’t get Twitter. I’ll just assume you know what it is since everyone seems to use it. I don’t have an account and I don’t think I ever will. This is mainly due to the fact that “Twitter” and “addicted” are so often used in the same sentence. Which [...]

Google Reader

22 April, 2008 (16:20) | Personal

You may remember Garry talking a while back about switching from iGoogle to Google Reader for his RSS feeds. (I can’t seem to find the post) Well what he didn’t mention is that there’s an iGoogle gadget for Google Reader that will show the latest unread posts. Just make a new tab for it and [...]

Linux and New Windows

13 March, 2008 (16:17) | Computers, Personal

Got my hard drive on Monday, so by now I’m pretty settled in. I know it sounds like I’m moving to a new house or something, but for the past two weeks I’ve been using Linux on my server, and I’ve felt like I’ve had a bag over my head. This is absolutely nothing against [...]

404 Errors

10 March, 2008 (01:40) | Flaming Head, Personal

Sorry about the 404 errors, it’s all been fixed.
Please contact me if you see anything else wrong, I’ve been doing a lot of updating and reconfiguring on my server while waiting for my hard drive. Which gets here Monday BTW. Finally.

Songs

28 February, 2008 (02:24) | Personal

Here are some songs I wrote, both works-in-progress. I made them in FL Studio:
High Orbit
Unlevel
I’m working on another that is really more my style, but I can’t work on it until I get my hard drive back. And about that…
I had to send it back, I think my PSU killed it. So I need another [...]

Stuff

20 February, 2008 (17:15) | Personal

One of those miscellaneous blog posts…
So yesterday my fresh Windows installation on a new hard drive started freezing on me. Not only that, but I was getting write errors. (Little yellow popup in the corner saying Windows couldn’t write something to the hard drive.) I was afraid that it was dying, especially since a lot [...]

We Have Normality

16 February, 2008 (17:57) | Computers, Personal

Well, sort of.
I’ve got Windows installed and got a lot done as far as updates and installing apps I use most like mIRC and Firefox. And about Firefox; you realize how awesome the way it does profiles is when you’re restoring one and Firefox is completely back the way you had it, extensions, cookies, bookmarks, [...]
