StopTheMusic Update

Monday, January 30th, 2006

Okay, first off, StopTheMusic 0.1 for Firefox is coming out in about 2 months. Deal with it.

Second, it will not only support the immediate stopping of music from autoplaying. It will also stop:

and it will overlay Flash with a screen that says “Click to Play”. Of course, this is all very optional and can be made to be omitted for certain sites where you would expect it like, oh, Homestar Runner.com.

Please note! Even though this extension is free, please donate. My plans to move to Canada can be assisted by users like you. Thank you.

A generic rant.

Well, I’ve started development on GalleryPress, the perfect Gallery to complement WordPress. Actually, to be truthful, it won’t work with ONLY WordPress. I plan to make a version for b2evolution as well.

Also, I am back on the road to getting my own server again. However, due to the fact that this is a lifetime ASO account… I will keep my personal site here. Hell, Tim already has my $150, why not? (more…)

A few things I found out

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

There are two important facts I stumbled upon recently that I feel you should be made aware of. First is that starting January 29th, the Chinese New Year kicks into full gear. 2005 was the year of the Rooster and 2006 is the year of… drum roll please… the Dog! w00f!. And it’s actually the year 4703 in China, not 2006, so apparently they had a head start. The second fact I stumbled upon is that it’s Superbowl Sunday next weekend. I have created a list of three things you should do instead of watching the Superbowl,

1) Watch bittorrented episodes of Bleach
2) Host a LAN Party
3) Buy a TV-B-Gone from ThinkGeek and visit your local Sports Bar… *click*

I put my Dell in it’s place

Friday, January 27th, 2006

My Dell Inspiron 1100 finally got what it deserved, the trip to the dumpster behind Valero. But truthfully, it was for the best. I have my cool new HP Pavilion zd8000 and my old crusty Dell isn’t good for anyone else. But to tell you the truth, I am kinda sad that I had to send it off in that way.

I’ve got my pay stub and I see that I am so much closer to getting all my bills paid off and getting my sister her fucking iPod and myself a brand new server from the Planet. I will, however, keep this ASO account open for good measure. Also, while we are talking about bills and the like, my normal net connection is down. Right now, I am bumming of the neighbours Internet. Unlucky. (more…)

Two Types of Notebook Geeks

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

There are two kinds of notebook geeks: the anal-retentive guy who keeps the plastic screen protector on his notebook at all times, and The Abuser. You know the type: The Abuser throws his unprotected notebook computer into a messenger bag and rides 10 miles over a dirt trail to work. Within a month, the lid looks like it tangled with a Brillo pad and the hinges are creaking.

My Dell Inspiron, though well justified due to it’s upcoming 2nd birthday, is not all together. The DVD drive won’t open (because I sat on the laptop), the lining around the monitor is cracked (I dunno know that happened), both the Intel Inside sticker and the Microsoft Windows XP sticker are gone (the Intel came off on it’s own, I “helped” the Microsoft one come off), the Microsoft Licence Number is peeling off on every side, and, at times, it is hard to press the ~ key because I once ate Ramen over the keyboard.

Woo hoo! Got my new laptop!

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

Yay! I got my new laptop! It’s a HP Pavilion zd8000, and it has a 60GB hard drive, ATI Radeon Graphics card, Intel P4 Processor with Hyper-Threading (sadly, HP didn’t have an AMD equiv), 17″ widescreen monitor and it’s fast enough to run all my applications and games (even Photoshop and Postal!)

Hi there!

I am working on KyleTech as quickly as possible. As soon as I get this done, I will continue on the GoPostal.com web site.
