IRC Quote Of The Day.

06-18-2008 15:54:55 in a daze
08:47 < derek> teleolurian: Lady in the water was based on a fairy tale that 
               MNS's parents used to tell him when he was a kid
08:47 < derek> it's based on the "Water origins" Mythos
08:48 < teleolurian> "one day there will be an indian screenwriter who doesn't 
                     write bollywood level shit"
08:48 < teleolurian> yeah, that's a fairy tale
08:49 < derek> by that I mean the "People used to live in the water, now they 
               live on land" one, not the evolution one :P
08:49 < teleolurian> so can somebody sum it up for me like this: 
                     http://www.rinkworks.com/movieaminute/m/interview.shtml
08:49 < teleolurian> apparently there's a cookbook involved, that's all i can 
                     see on wikipedia
08:50 < derek> Chick lives in pool, dog things don't want her in pool, Paul 
               Giamatti.
08:50 < derek> there.
08:50 < teleolurian> thank you
08:50 < teleolurian> that's much better
08:50 < d> lol


Oops.

Forgot I was going to post a little plug for the guys over at Nerdie Networks for their EditDNS project. EditDNS is a free DNS provider with a ton of features. Need DNS? go to EditDNS. Don't know what DNS is? It's like a magic phonebook for the internet.



So It's Friday, And I Haven't Posted.

05-31-2008 03:16:27 in Sigh

Well, as shocked as I'm sure everyone is by this fact, I haven't been able to post lately. Even one of my more than pointless attention craving link dump posts was too far out of my scope of effort.

Why? Well, same old reason of course, busy. I do have to tell everyone about something awesome though.

That something? well, it's a little thing called rBot.

rBot is an IRC bot, written in ruby. For those who don't know, IRC is a form of internet chat. As a matter of fact, IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. Imagine that!

Neat, rhyming. Anyway, rBot is super awesome. It's more awesome than even Superman, and he was pretty awesome. More awesome than candy, even Swedish Fish. Man those Swedish can sure make some good candy. Even if it is made by Nestle. Go Sweden. rBot and I <3 you.

And maybe someday, the people reading this post can come join us and create random nuggets of insanity on our very own IRC channel, #smash. It's located at irc.bashzen.net.

So, eat, drink, and IRC, and don't forget, show rBot some love. He's always been there for you. You know the time I'm talking about. No, not that time. The other time.

rBot wanted to type a little rap here, but I dislike rap and I dislike my programs becoming sentient on me.

rBot rBot rBot rBot

Serious.



*gasp* I Have A Java Category Now!

05-08-2008 15:01:56 in Java

Yeah yeah. I know.

I do have to support servers with Java applications running on them though, so in this category I'll put performance tuning tips and the like.

Performance.



Firefox 3: The Next Generation

05-07-2008 15:53:10 in Misc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Firefox web browser. It's the greatest thing since tacos. But Firefox 2 has some of the worst performance problems I have ever seen! On Linux, if I leave one tab open with a flash movie playing, the Firefox process will eventually grow to enormous proportions. Yes, I know this seems like a Flash plugin problem, and it very well may be. But I do know that if I open the same page with Firefox 3b5, the memory usage stays constant the entire time.

If you want the beta, you can get it here.



Theory.com Pants!

04-27-2008 10:01:45 in Site News

As I was perusing my weblogs this early morn, I noticed someone made it to my site using the keyword "theory.com pants". I thought this odd, but not completely unlikely, seeing as how the title of my page has both of those words (sans .com) in it. But then, I found what the person was really looking for. Yeah Baby! I feel like I'm in an Austin Powers movie. Or perhaps just tired. Bed time!



Iron Chef America: Flay Vs. Rios

04-27-2008 07:01:49 in Sigh

Okay, I just got done watching this episode. I'm frankly appalled at their choice of judges for this match. The author for Bon Appetit is the only judge that has any right whatsoever to be judging food. The VP of whatever random hospitality review magazine and some random food blogger? Are you kidding? I think they're just hurting for judges. Grab some New York food critics and call it a day. Annoyed.

Grr.

"Err, what's the bottom, cam be air?" - Food Blogger Judge

It's possible I'm just grumpy and I need sleep, though.

Haha, and then the Hospitality judge and the Bon Appetit judge bickered about the semantics of fritters. Good show.

The comments about the match that the judges made should have shown them right there how the match was going to go.

Hospitality judge: "I can has BLT?"

Bon Appetit judge: "I can has bloody mary?"

Food Blogger judge: "I'm in ur blog rating yer tomaterz"

And, of course, lack of good judges = bad outcome. Boy meets tissue won. No standing on the cutting board though. I guess Morimoto speaking of his disgrace must've gotten through to him.
