Feed SubscriptionSo much to say, so little time to say it.
I have a million things I should probably write about. However things are crazy as always, so I dont always get the chance to organize them into a post. Shit, I still need to finish my post about Pookie coming to visit, what almost 6 months ago? Jebus. At the same time, things are crazy ... Read More »
Who’s not awesome?
At the moment, that’d be me. I’m quarantined at home with the flu. Now when I say flu, I mean Type A Influenza. This qualifies as Swine Flu, H1N1, or by its more casual name, Bacon Lung™. For me, it started monday night. I got home from work after coughing all day. The new car ... Read More »

Does it all work, finally?
Its been more than a challenge getting MGL back up and running. And I’ve made some discoveries along the way. MySQL 4.1 has no problem running wordpress, and has no problem handling the import of massive amounts of data. SQL 5, yeah, it failed miserably. I ended up having to rebuild from the ground up, ...

Rebuilding isnt painless.
MGL is back. Let me tell you how much this pleases me. Unfortunately, my database didnt make the transition in a functional state. I’m saddened by this. So, I’m going to have to cull LJ and archive.org, and re-import all my old posts. It may take some time, but thats expected. At least I’m back ... Read More »

Machinima
Over the course of time, I've used a lot of machines for work and personal. In the world spectrum, I started out with no machine of my own. I then used a powerbook 1400 before moving to an iBook G3. There were also some slot loading iMacs. I then moved to an iBook G4, before ... Read More »

for the love of all thats holy. Someone needs to take a bat to the people at ICANN. Seriously. The hosting for mygeeklife.com expired. No biggie. I looked at what I was renewing and noticed that I was paying $53 a year for 100mb of space and 500mb transfer. Weak. I have a hosting package ... Read More »
NBC Universal = FAIL.
Dear NBC Universal, Since the original mini-series remake of Battlestar Galactica on the SCI-FI channel, I have been what one could consider “a fan” of the show. Not only have I watched the episodes in sequence, I also purchased the DVD box sets in order to fill in gaps where I'd missed episodes. To that ... Read More »

Everything ends.
So I was playing with Google Maps yesterday. Always fun and informative. They did a street view mapping of Richmond, VA, where I lived for 5 years. Of course, I had to poke around richmond to some of the old locales I used to frequent. Some of the things I discovered were interesting. Especially so ... Read More »
When one thing dies..you make another thing!
I had an Apple Optical mouse completely bite the dust on me today. No worky in every possible way. So I decided to see how easy it would be to crack it open, before I trashed it. Lo and behold, it was pretty easy to split open. Even better, was how easily the red super ... Read More »
Long, long ago in a Republican Presidency far, far away…
Today is the 25th anniversary of Star Wars. No, not luke and Han, Leia and Chewie. The Strategic Missile Defense Initiative. The Great Communicator (Reagan) announced it as a strategic defense over mutually assured destruction, which had been the previous doctrine. Under Clinton, it became SDI and then morphed into the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, ... Read More »
The end of portable gaming, again.
Portable gaming. I keep trying. Really I do. And it always ends up the same. I buy the system, and I'm psyched about the system. I load up on games, and get a good amount of play in, and then it all kinda just stops. The system and its games end up in a drawer, ... Read More »
