New Interweb Link – Lifehacker

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I stumbled on Lifehacker from a slashdot reference. It’s pretty neat as it has all sorts of geeky techy stuff for doing stuff the SteveTM way, but this time it’s in an article so I can point to it and say, “see!? Other people do things like this too!”

Ame will still roll her eyes, but there’s validation in it, you see!

There’s now a handy dandy link to it on the sidebar too. How awesome is that?

What now?

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

What is this crap? The CSS broke. I don’t know if it’s only here at work with IE6 and it’s idiosyncrasies, or it’s actually broken… Nothing changed on the codebase that I know of, so this is curious.

I’ll have to investigate, so in the mean time, my apologies for a crappy looking site.

UPDATE:
Apart from the complete lack of updates, there was nothing wrong with my site even though I spotted it both in broken and unbroken states. I fixed and changed nothing and the only variable I can think of is the Google Ads I have placed here. Usually Google is cool. What happened, man? You flaked out for a bit there.

Jason’s got a blog

Monday, June 15th, 2009

I’ve made a convert out of Jason. Ever since he learned of my own public journal here, he devoured just about every post I’ve got, commented on a few, and felt hungry for more blog. I pointed him over to wordpress.com, and now he’s got his own corner on the Internet.

Jason’s a co-worker here and we regularly chat about this and that, many times worth discussing with the wide world. So go check it out, already! It’s also over on the list of links on the side for your consumption later.

To Twit or not to Twit

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Twitter is dumb.

Twitter is for writing in 140 characters, and is meant as a blog replacement. It has since found itself as a blog replacement. This isn’t all bad, but I think I’ve finally found a use for it myself.

It’s a place where I can:

  1. Comment on what others have twat
  2. Tell everyone (including brick walls) what I’m doing
  3. Hair-brained napkin-outlines for future blog posts

I think that last one is more useful to me personally than anything else I can conjure up. Granted, I’ve only been twittering for a short time now, but if ever I’m stumped for what to write about, I can just dive into my twit queue and see how I should elaborate on what I’ve twat.

It shall be a public white-board for all to see and none to edit. It will be like a blog post preview if you’re a follower.

There are a couple things in the queue right now that are brief due to the 140 character limit, not because that’s all there is to say, so hopefully this will work out.

I’m a twit

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Every now and again, changes occur around here. Most notably, I’ve changed the order of the sidebar and added another widget: Twitter.

Yes, yes, I’ve finally joined in the crapfest that is Twitter. I think it’s more than a little stupid, but so many people are on it including those I know personally.

Back in November, I spoke with Bobby about this

Bobby: oh, do you twitter?
Steneub: no no… no faggoty micro-blogs. That’s what YOU’re for, so I can just dump whatever I’m thinking on YOU rather than the rest of the world
Steneub: and I also already have a big-boy blog :P
Bobby: haha
Bobby: you mean old like the dinosaur blog
Bobby: twitter is the new hotness
Steneub: you’re just jealous ’cause you can’t afford a REAL webpage

See! I hated it before I succumbed, I swear! It was true though about me dumping on Bobby whatever popped into my head. I would simply message him the biggest non-sequiturs and the best paet is he would roll with it most of the time.

Now I have all of you to dump on! Muahaha!
