so i took the freelance graphic design job. so t hen i was like “oh crap, i need to install graphic/web design stuff on my computer now” which i didn’t have because i had reformatted in the recent past. thus began my weekend-long frustration with my computer.i have a modded windows 2003 server os installed […]

with very little help from me, the upload issues i was having seem to have resolved themselves.  i blame comcast completely, but i don’t care so long as it works.  now you can go here and download my nin YZ remix without it being cut off.  also, the ampache page is using the latest development […]

so.  i went for, and was offered a freelance position for heritage web solutions.  they build custom web pages for people/organizations, have lots of work, were hiring, and are local.  i’m doing freelance because it will be an easier transition, one i can do while keeping my current job (at least for a while) and […]

i added a hit counter on the side bar.  i could host that myself, and i used to, but it tracked all page hits even from within the site and made some huge ridiculous number.  this one is externally hosted and does only unique hits.  i don’t really care and there’s probably a better way […]

i started writing this morning. i’ve posted the first piece of what i hope to turn into something. i have no idea how much of what i’m going to write i will end up keeping, but i have a master plan for the story, i know my main character well, so i’m hoping this can […]

the jazzsequence server (actually, the connection) is having problems completing file transfers.  it seems it gets to a certain point in the upload and it just drops off.  i have a suspicion that it’s either something with my modem, or — which is my hunch — heavy bit torrent transactions for the last week and […]

now that i got my iHack up and working (mostly), and a copy of iLife sitting on it, i made my first garageband remix of a Year Zero track. i had a version of “me, i’m not” that i did using linux tools, but i figure that i can reproduce that even easier with garageband, […]

i called the urology deptartment at the university of utah hospital to schedule an appt. for my vasectomy.  so that means it’s official, it’s happening.  the appointment i scheduled isn’t for the actual operation, it’s for a consultation, and the operation follows, which is good since the appt. is on sept. 25 which is 5 […]

*doing happy dance* i got the m’f’ing sound to work on my hackint0sh!! aww yeeeahh! i was ready to throw in the towel when i was trolling the insanely mac forums and found a modified cmedia driver and i tried it and awww yeeeah, success!!! i can make the little blurp noise when i turn […]

so since the new simpson movie apparently there’s this new web phenomenon going on at simpsonizeme.com. you can turn any photo of yourself into a simpson’s character. now, i think the first take is kind of crappy — it doesn’t do features too well, but you can tweak it to look more like you and […]

someone told google that if they changed their color scheme from white to black it would save 750 megawatt hours a year, so they said, why not. you can check out blackle and do you google search in an easy-on-the-eyes black, which is also pretty goth. (as a sidenote, there’s already a blackle firefox search […]

after several failed attempts and much twiddling with drives and MBRs, i am now happily running a fully functioning (albeit silent, at the moment) copy of Mac OSX on my PC.  i had to wipe my ubuntu install but i made a full backup before doing so, so i should be able to restore it […]
