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?

Cool Changes Around Here

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

More changes here; notice the new(-ish) Meebo Me! widget on the sidebar there. I’d say I wrote it myself, but it’s based heavily on the Xbox Live! Gamertag widget. I just changed some values around and voila! it worked… not on the first try, but that goes with any piece of software. I’m always hesitant when something I write appears to work the first time out the gate.  It’s like, “okay, what’s broken?” Like a house or car that is up for sale way below the market.

Fry: Well, I give up. What’s the catch?
Landlord #3: Oh, no catch. Although we are technically in New Jersey.

Fry: Not one place even remotely liveable.

All dressed up and nowhere to go

I Attempted to go to a job fair today. After washing my filthy Steve self, I went online to confirm some details, and it turned out the event was postponed until next Tuesday. So I’m here in some clothes that are a bit nicer than my usual fare (which is usually a black nerd T-shirt and jeans), and no place to be.

To pad my small post a bit, I’ve been trying to beat my high-score in Pac-Man C.E. ever since my last post about it, but to no avail. My average score is getting steadily higher though, and I can only hope to beat the record very soon. I was having the best round yet yesterday, but the pizza guy came and it was time for us to eat. Oh how I wanted to finish that round! C’est la vie…
