Somebody at Google did not have a very nice day today, and it’ll probably be less nice for the person who caused the problem. It lasted only about 20 minutes, but (apparently) affected every country in the world, and was on Techcrunch and the front page of Reddit by the time I’d noticed it (and […]
Doesn’t matter what it is, if you speed it up and give it the Benny Hill theme, it’s always funnier. The Roomba Kittens were funny on YouTube, but they’re even better like this. 🙂 There, goddammit…I finally got the embedded video to work properly for a local file. What’s Swedish for “Yay, me”? 😀 Oh, […]
javascript:window.location=”http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=”+swfArgs.video_id+”&t=”+swfArgs.t+”&fmt=18″; When I can’t find it… YouTube youtube bookmarklet download video download mp4. That oughta locate it for me. 🙂 For the sake of reference, if HD is available, it’s fmt=35.
Fuck you, Conky. All I want is the weather, properly displayed. I don’t care where you get it, or really what it looks like–you can make the fucking font sky-blue-pink for all I care–just display it properly formatted. Use NWS, use Yahoo!, use Wunderground…I don’t care. Update every hour, every half hour or every two […]
Seriously, I do ’cause Sir David is awesome, but I didn’t know until today that he’s actually constructed of awesome. His parents taught him exactly what mine taught me–no religious belief system, but no anti-religious belief system, either–and the first time I went with a friend to see what the Sunday School thing was all […]
Have I been under a rock or something? I went looking for a source for multicoloured Swedish Fish, since the only kind I can get here are all red. Actually, I don’t think I’ve seen the multicoloured ones since I left Canada, but I thought there must be something available online…somewhere I could order them. […]
Why should one never walk around my house in the dark? It’s because one never knows where large-ish, potentially toe-damaging objects such as disc golf bags may have come to rest at any given time. I am not certain that he actually measured the available kitchen floor area to ensure that the bag was precisely […]
Found a good copy of the spiders on drugs. God, anyone who grew up in Canada anywhere near the same time I did will never, ever forget the Hinterland Who’s Who music. I don’t recall the videos being quite like this, though. 🙂
All I wanted to do was make short recordings. Sometimes, it’s the cat, so that P. can share in the joy that is his needy, scream-y, pathetic, attention-starved kitteh when kitteh decides it’s high time for deh-day to be home. Sometimes, it’s to force P. to actually listen to the reason I’m up all night, […]
The spam filters on my ISP mail account are so strict that they’re only slightly short of a whitelist and everything else straight to the trash. I never give out that address, but other morons do, plus the sonsawhores at Charter sold our addresses, and then there’s the drooling mouth-breather who accidentally gave my address […]
