Need your lolz
July 31, 2010I’m looking for a couple of people to post their lolz on another website I have. If you’d be interested, drop a comment or contact me with some information about yourself and what makes you lol.
Disabled Image Plugin
June 19, 2010I disabled the image plugin I was using for images to pop out in the page due to a lot of errors. I just got sick of it. I’m trying to go back and change images that were set to “pop out” but if you happen to come across some, feel free to let me know.
Update and fat chance.
Updated the About Me page finally.
Every time I think about changing my theme, I think about how much time I put into it and immediately begin to dread that thought. >.>
Maybe one day I’ll get around to that.
Maintenance Fun FTW
June 7, 2010So I’m going back and fixing up my code and organizing my images on the new server, trying to get them off of the external server. I don’t really know what else to write about, but I’m just kind of doing geeky fun things on my lunch break.
Mmm lunch break.
Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
March 27, 2010The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world!
More realistically: Sleep as late as I can possibly get away with.
It felt good to get a lot of maintenance done on my own sites today. I spend way more time on everybody else’s sites and computers than my own.
With that being said, I bid you goodnight.

New Header – Bite Me
August 26, 2009New header. BOOM!
Yeah, you wish I’d just leave it at that. No, I have to post about it and explain it.
When I made the last header I felt that it was a bit too busy and I just wasn’t entirely happy with it. I liked it or I never would have used it, but it just seemed so busy and large! I’ve been mulling it over in my head, and I finally decided to put some ideas together and share them with my wife and a few friends. The vote was unanimous and the header that you see now was the favorite.
I took the things I liked about the old header and put them together in a smaller size (height) along with some new items:
- A hilarious geek joke.
I’ve also been wanting to use that overused but awesome and hilarious “bite me” joke forever. Enjoy it. Bite me.
- The Ubuntu logo.
From what I’ve read I’m okay to use this so long as it is clear what it represents. If there is an issue with this then I invite anybody to contact me (or leave a comment) with a correction.
I added Ubuntu’s logo to my header because I moved over to Ubuntu a while back (as I’ve blogged about a few times) and I love it. It runs amazing on my laptop and it is everything I have ever wanted in a Linux distro (and I’ve tried several over the years). I wanted to pay tribute to them (a little free advertising always rocks, right?) plus show off my favorite OS and geekiness.
Oh, for the record I’m running Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu 9.04).
Anyway, what do you think about header? I love it.

Blogging in Ubuntu
July 16, 2009I have to admit that I’m happy with myself for sticking with Ubuntu even through the frustrating bits. I’ve managed to work out a solution for just about every problem that I have faced so far. With that being said, here is something that is irritating me:
There is not a single decent up to date blog post writer/editor (or whatever you want to call the program type) for Linux. On Windows I was using Windows Live Writer, and yes it has a lot of amazing features – but how is it that NOTHING on Linux even has the basic functions to post properly to a WordPress blog?
How dare I say such a thing on twitter or I get “helpful” comments about how I’m wrong and how there are some great programs for Linux and blogging. Let’s go over a few, shall we? Remember, I’m talking about LINUX ONLY – Firefox addons and other various options not included in this list.
KBlogger: This one showed promise when I first opened it. Then it crashed. And again. And again. And again. If you handle it VERY LIGHTLY and also remember not to import any pictures, it might not crash for a while. Then if you can finally post with it, IT DOESN’T SUPPORT TAGS FOR WORDPRESS. It also fails to give the option for a custom slug. Between the crashing and the lack of options, no thanks.
BloGTK: This one might have been great back when it was being properly updated and worked on. Personally I can’t even manage to open the program – it crashes immediately. I can get the errors from the console and a quick Google search shows plenty of other people with the same experience. Looking into it, the program is outdated anyway. The next update (BloGTK 2.0) will be available “eventually” and it has been that way for a long time.
Drivel: Another program that showed promise, but when I opened it I discovered that it didn’t have WordPress available as an option directly. Once I logged in, I quickly discovered that it had no options for tags, categories, or a custom slug. At least this one didn’t crash on me! Another quick Google search brought up the fact that this one has not been worked on since 2006. That would explain the lack of features!
There are some other options available, but these three are the main ones. The other options are a lot more simple (such as gnome-blog and tomboy blogposter) and for that I will cut them some slack – they weren’t designed for heavy usage.
Having typed all of that, let me say that I realize there are some good cross-platform options available. ScribeFire for Firefox is a great example! The problem with that is that there should be something available FOR Linux users specifically. There are tons and tons of great opensource applications available, so why isn’t there just one good one for blogging? I’m not looking for something that is as featured as Windows Live Writer (though if one becomes available, I WANT IT!), and I’m not comparing programs TO Windows Live Writer. I just want something fully functional.
With all of the great programmers making tons of tetris and pacman remakes (among other duplicate programs) for Linux, you’d think somebody would bother to work on a useful (and up to date) blogging application.
