All updated and landscape-y, freed from its prison, and now without ugly icons for Contacts and Notes. I still can’t get passwordless SSH to work and I don’t know why because it appears that the keys get generated and saved, but I can live with that because it won’t kill me to type a password. […]

I finally got annoyed enough at the “upgrade available” message that I backed up my DBes and upgraded WP to the latest version. I can’t remember the last time, but I usually download the upgrade and do it manually. This time, I said fuck it and went with the auto. Forgot whether I was supposed […]

I did eventually get aMSN working yesterday, but this morning, it crapped out again. A bit of googling revealed that it might be a change in the protocol; that MS doesn’t want anyone to use non-MS clients to connect, and they also want to “encourage” people who do use the MS client to update to […]

Well, there went my grand intentions of getting my work done early. I couldn’t get logged into MSN this morning (maybe MS changed the goddamned protocol again to lock out non-MS clients), but thought I’d do a quick check on FB. I happened to notice that L(K) was logged into chat, so I sent a […]

I have no idea who you are, and I don’t care; I love you because you wrote the Facebook Purity Greasemonkey script to remove those goddamned quiz results from the FB Wall without having to hide everything from a particular user. Granted, that does mean I won’t get to see quiz results from anyone else, […]

I went to get a hanger from the place on the closet where empty shirt hangers *belong*, which is to the left of the most recently worn ironed shirts, (which are on the left, since P is right-handed and will gravitate right when be chooses clothes, so this keeps him from grabbing the same two […]

My review of the Categories iPhone app… First, it pissed me off that I’m stuck with AdMob to use this (I even hate the name “AdMob”) but since the ads show only when you’re editing within the app, I can live with it…I guess. Since I had to take it out of hosts, that means […]

Why people are stupid. From every entomologist and exterminator, and this particular statement officially from the University of Florida IFAS Extension (and being a giant fucking swamp, Florida knows mosquitoes!) What About Devices That Emit Sound To Repel Mosquitoes? There is no evidence that wearing devices that emit sound will repel mosquitoes. “No evidence” doesn’t […]

I came across a site that had images designed to help artists render accurate drawings of various ethnic types. Simply putting narrowed eyes on a Caucasian face doesn’t make it look Asian, so these drawings listed characteristics of different types. I looked at all of them, and of course I was curious as to what […]

I normally think that internet memes are either utterly stupid, or somewhat amusing. For reasons I still don’t understand (I think it might be the tolerance of the animal and the “I see what you did there” expression at the end), Keyboard Cat amuses the living hell out of me. He began as “cool cat” […]
