Technical insanity at its best!

Entries for the ‘blog’ Category

Dammit WordPress.

This new auto save feature does not work with Firefox on Linux.  I click publish and my posts disappear. WTF? I love WordPress but this is really annoying. How about fixing the error about not enought permissions when adding new categories also. Actually I can’t get anything to post from wordpress’s editor anymore. I had […]

Quit Wasting My Time!

I’ve been seeing an alarming trend in the last few weeks/months. Websites are trying to push out there so fast that they show all their features but they don’t work yet. What I mean is they have links that go to a page for you to enter in information, thinking you will get the expected […]

Sick

Somehow I managed to get sick this week. Got a throat-ache and my ears just ring. Hopefully I’ll be back on track tomorrow…

Email Credibility

I’ve noticed over the years that I have become less believing of forwarded email. Don’t get me wrong I still like getting the jokes but any type of news or legend forwarded through email is probably crap. Remember the one about Bill Gates tracking email and if you forwarded it to 600 people you would […]

Credible or Cocky?

Chris over on Performancing said that bloggers may be getting undue respect just because they are published. (I paraphrased that so don’t get all anal on me…) Anyway I agree. Lots of times I will see a blogger trying to push content for whatever reason. I have tried not to do this as I want […]

Generation Incompetence?

A guy I was talking with said that everyone my age with any ambition should be very rich due to the fact that so many people in my generation are without ambition, goals, and common sense. I hate to say I agree to some extent. I have met a lot of people my age that […]

That Girl Emily – viral marketing stunt

Turns out That Girl Emily is a viral marketing campaign. For those of you who didn’t hear/know about this it was a blog created last month “by the urging of my best friend” that turns out the same said friend is sleeping with her husband which she found out through a private eye hired by […]

No PhD, no comment

This is absolutely ridiculous. I may be biased due to the fact that I do not have a doctorate degree, in fact far from it, but it looks as though National Geographic TV is run by a bunch of people with doctorates that want to form an elitist group. Hitler anyone?

How to get up early

Matthew Stibbe has an interesting write up on how to get up earlier: Alarms. I set my beside alarm for 0600 – and this is the clever psychology – I also set my telephone to ring at 0605 but I put the phone on the other side of the room so that I have to […]

A Roo of a story

Our local paper had an interesting article today: Corey Botner, who lives southwest of Bismarck, said he was feeding his pet wallaroo, which is in the kangaroo family, Tuesday night. His new St. Bernard puppy, still a tiny white and brown ball of fur, frightened “Joe,” and the wallaroo pushed through a gate and hopped […]
