Kubrick sucks.
⸭
⸭
Kubrick sucks. No, not the filmmaker, the WordPress template. Blasphemy, I know. You see it everywhere on the web nowadays, partly because of the popularity of WordPress 1.5 and partly because most people don’t change from the default template. I’m not saying the old default was anything to look at, but Kubrick grates on my…

Happy pi Day!

⸭
Mmm, pi. Happy pi day (and Einstein’s birthday) to geeks everywhere! 3/14 1:59:26 Take that second of your life to think about how much you owe to pi and Einstein! You wouldn’t have modern technology or circles without them! If you need some geeky inspiration, check out today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day – an…

Don’t Click Here, No Drugs

I was driving home from work today, passing through the wonderful part of town with constant police surveillance, when I saw a house. Not just any house. It was fairly run down, and had signs all over it – ones stating “Stay Away”, “No Trespassing”, and my favorite: Keep Out – NO DRUGS I think…

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
⸭
⸭
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the new HHGttG trailer. (old trailer) I cried when I saw it. I cried again when I noticed they moved the date up to April 29. Then I watched it again.

Gmail Invites
⸭
⸭
No, I’m not going to say “just register on the site, send me $8.95, and your firstborn, and you’ll get a gmail invite!” We’ve all seen that one. (Though if you do still need one, check isnoop.) I’m just curious about how many invites people have given away. Ever since Google has been giving 50…

On Thursday, March 17, 2005, at 8:58:31 pm EST it will officially be 1111111111 seconds since the Unix epoch. I propose we throw a huge party for geeks everywhere, and celebrate the Unix motto: Do one thing and do it well – party!

Upgrading to WP 1.5
⸭
⸭
I’m going to start working on upgrading the site to WordPress 1.5. I’ve made a lot of personal changes to the codebase that don’t particularly fit into a plugin, so I’m going to hope I can reasonably manage all the hand-merging. One thing I definitely do not want to do is leave the site in…

eXeem – can it succeed where other file-sharing has failed?
⸭
⸭
eXeem is the next wave in file sharing. They just released their first beta today. Don’t download it. The official version is filled with spyware. Not a good omen, I know, but KaZaA started the same way, and we eventually got our file-sharing salvation in the form of KaZaA Lite. (You may be able to…

Referer Spam
⸭
⸭
Spammers are just getting lazy. Even lazier than before. For a miniscule chance of spamming a single person, i.e. referer spam, a spammer will go to incredible lengths. They’re almost as delusional as most of the people on American Idol… Referer spam is the process of going to a website and faking certain information, the…
