When I forget that I installed a Nautilus script and that is how I’ve been magically uploading files to my FTP server without having to start gFTP, it’s in my /home in Software, and it’s called File_2_FTP. The gzipped copy in there obviously doesn’t have my user information entered, and there is a secure version […]

I came across a game about guessing accents. You listen to a person read two lines from a Kipling poem, then you’re presented with a list of choices and have to guess the country. For some, you get bonus points for guessing (and you betcha I was guessing) the city. There was one, however, that […]

I’m trying to find the “perfect” music manager for me. I use Audacity for just playing a file, but it handles playlists like Winamp 2.x (to be fair, Audacity is forked from XMMS, which is a Winamp clone), and it’s a bit clumsy to not have smart playlists, plus it takes a dog’s age to […]

So basically, I’m famous. Okay, I’m not, but yesterday, I did get a FlickrMail request from a very nice lady to use one of my katydid photos. :: awesome katydid photo I just love the photos you took of the Katydid (called Often heard, seldom seen). I work with Raleigh Parks and Recreation and am […]

I don’t have very expensive photography equipment. It’s not incredibly cheap crap, but for most people, it’s hardly expensive. Still, I was taught early and well (sometimes with Dad’s belt) to take good care of my stuff, and I still do. I use my camera at least weekly, and when I come back from hunting […]

Okay, it’s not surströmming, and it’s not baby mice in the bottom of a bottle of wine, but… America…fuck yeah! Jesus Christ, who ever thought this was a good idea? Okay, I’m down with pancakes, and maybe even chocolate chip pancakes (I guess), and I like sausage well enough (especially maple-flavoured, though they’re hard to […]

I should’ve been doing something productive, but I was wasting time on a stupid quiz site. Surprise! I always score high on the “guy side” of these stupid things because they assume that if you’re not a neurotic, overly emotional wreck, you must be a man. I got only 80% on the punctuation of this […]

Ah, it’s so difficult to be a fucking genius…I don’t know how I manage. 😀 Someone else fixed the Music plugin for aMSN so that it had support for Rhythmbox, and since I do use Rhythmbox as my “music manager”, that was fine, but when I just want a player, I use Audacious. The plugin […]

Jesus has an iPhone. So does Lars. Dork sent me this (well, a full-size version) from the beach on Friday, the beginning of a two week holiday, which began the day he got the iPhone, which came two weeks after his three week holiday. I replied with “i h8 u & u suk 2,” because […]

I’m so awesome that I can’t even stand it! Hee! I told L. yesterday that I’d love to have a MBP like he does, and I suppose on some level, I would, but I think I’d still keep using Linux because it’s almost as awesome as I am. If you’re willing to sort through the […]
