Paris Hilton - World Class Idiot

Comments (0)

Anyone else catch her Larry King Live interview? Neither did I. I just caught the snippets being passed around the web. Really, all I can say is.. Wow. Really though, need I say more?

The best was when Larry asked if she read the bible in jail. She said she read it daily. The following ensued:

Larry: What is your favorite verse?
Paris: Umm ... *sigh* ... hrmm ... Well ... I don't have a favorite.

Classic!

Facebook Privacy and Policies

Comments (0)

Like a whole lot of other people, I have a Facebook account. I don't use it very often, but it is a nice site and I prefer it over MySpace any day of the week. I ran across this video that was posted on GNUCitizen blog this morning. It claims that Facebook has ties to the CIA, DoD and the IAO. It asks the question:

Does what happens in the Facebook stay in the Facebook?

MacBook Woes

Comments (0)

After years of defending Apple products, my 6 month old MacBook has decided to take a dump on me. Take that last part any way you please... Anything for humor. Anyways, the battery would no longer charge. The status light on the magna plug no longer gave any indication either. No more amber or green colors for me to let me know what the hell was going on! I tried resetting the "PMU" as well as some other tricks, but nothing worked.

In the end, the Genius at the Genius Bar took a shot and got no further than I ...

Texas Hold'Em - Bad Beats

Comments (1)

You can see in the blurb to the right, that I am a horrible poker player. Thing is, I don't know if I am THAT bad of a player, or if I make smart plays at the wrong times. I prefer to think that I am just cursed with bad luck at the table. I feel I have a good understanding of the game and the strategies used by most players. I have played for nearly 5 years and have read a few books, including Super System, Super System II and Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players. Still, I ...

Black Hat Hackers Own Us!

Comments (0)

The Register has an interesting article about black hat hackers. It contains a list of 10 reasons why the black hats have us "outgunned" Snippet:


1. The Black Hats form a well integrated community that shares knowledge effectively.

Should you, after months of research and effort, create an exploit that allows you to hack Windows or any other frequently used software product, you can auction the exploit on the internet in a well organised manner. Yes, the hackers have their own auction sites (it's true). And if you're looking to write a virus, say, well, there are hundreds ...

Sopranos - Jip or Genius?

Comments (6)

I am not quite sure how to feel about the series finale episode last night. I absolutely feel ripped off, in the sense that I just want to KNOW the outcome! Then again, I feel it was the best ending because it really lets us use our imaginations. There were so many clues put in this episode leading to the demise of Tony Soprano in one way or another. I have a big interest in organized crime in America, and there were many lines, or details, in this episode that actually happened in real life mafia situations.

This is what ...

Asking A Silly Question

Comments (0)

OK, I know I have a warped sense of humor, but come on! Even YOU find this funny...

From Craigslist:


I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Pal at Big W and standing inline at the check out.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Pal Diet again although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out ...

Django, metaWeblog and Amazon S3

Comments (1)

This is a quick write up about adding support for Amazon S3 to your Django weblog. I added support for metaWeblog API by using the this write up from All Your Pixel. Most, if not all, blogging clients support the metaWeblog API so I think it was a good choice.

Why use Amazon S3?


  • It's super cheap (probably cost you less than $1/mo)

  • Performance is improved by moving static media away from your Django/Apache instance.

  • Amazon worries about managing and scaling the storage back end.


First off, let's edit the settings.py that is in your ...

The iPhones Are Coming!

Comments (0)

Since the announcement of the Apple iPhone, the tech community has been a buzz with chatter. I saw one of the TV Ads the other day and got a little excited (read into that what you will). The phones are set to be available on June 29th, a mere 24 days away! I have to think that this will change the mobile phone business in some form. Probably not in the way that the iPod effected the music business, but I am sure it will change for the better.

There are drawbacks however. Mainly that the phone will be limited ...

500 Internal Server Errors

Comments (0)

Woooooops =) In my haste last night, I accidently added a change that wasn't completed yet, and it effected individual post views. The result was an Internal Server Error, it was related to the comment form. Sorry about that, and thanks for the emails letting me know there was an issue.

Just need to remember to test as much as possible before taking newer code live. I mean it really isn't that big of a deal as this is just a personal site, but still the habit should be in place.
