Unintended Acceleration
I was reading CNN today and there was a story about a guy whose Toyota randomly started accelerating and he crashed into two cars at 70mph. This was back in 2006 before all the recent Toyota issues. The man has finally been freed as the court found it wasn't his fault. It brought back the memory of how the same thing happened to me back in 1991 [...]
WordPress Hacked
My Wordpress install got hacked a week or more ago, and I couldn't work on figuring it out until tonight. Well, it looks like some hacker found out my wp-config.php file had some bad permissions set and he inserted some code in there that basically scanned every php file on my site and injected every php file with code that will redirect users to [...]
Surprise
I just randomly found this site while searching for a different one, LOL. Also, someone alerted me to this website that lists my site as #10 of the top English language sites in the .ro domain.
A Visit to id Software, 1993
A Visit to id Software from john romero on Vimeo. Joe Siegler IM'd me a couple weeks ago and said he found a VHS tape that had some DOOM footage on it before its release and if I didn't want it he was gonna throw it out. I said, "Send it to me immediately." So now I finally got it, ripped it to digital and then used iMovie to present it [...]
I'm on a Boat!
If you thought "Jizz In My Pants" and "Dick In A Box" were great, you simply must watch the video "I'm On A Boat" on YouTube - it's hilarious and awesome all at the same time. I'm not a fan of hip-hop at all but, boy, T-Pain does a really great job on the song and in the video. Now i have to check out his stuff. If you like all the SNL songs [...]
Random IM Friday
you know what's funny? random IMs from people i don't know - they always entertain. I figured it would be fun to share some of these with you. At the end of this one the person says "Have fun" which, unbeknownst to him, is a game i made up and a lot of us here at Slipgate Ironworks play it everyday. So i say "good one" because he "won" the Have [...]
Razer Copperhead FTW
So, yeah, the razer copperhead mouse just absolutely rules. I've been using the copperhead for a couple years now and started using the new Lachesis mouse on my iMac about 8 months ago. I got tired of the feel of the mouse and the cursor skipping around randomly sometimes. I put my copperhead on the iMac and it's like night and day, it's that [...]
