I knew that I had heard that Adobe was buying Macromedia. If you don't believe me, read an Adobe press release here. Will the new Adobe/Macromedia continue supporting linux like Macromedia did? I wonder...but you have to consider the PDF format, that was created by Adobe, and it's pretty much open for others to use, I can make a PDF with OpenOffice, or PDFCreator. Maybe they take their time making things for linux users, or they depend on volunteers for the linux stuff. I reckon at some point the newest flash will work in linux.

Ok, I rented "Comedians of Comedy" from Netflix. Where the heck is the Baltimore stuff when Patton does "The Don and Mike Show"? Watched all the extras, it seemed to be a west coast only thing in the DVD. Is what I rented the pitch to make the show that's on Comedy Central? Will there be no mayonaisse on Comedy Central? I'll be contacting Patton Oswalt about this, I need clarification.

Go Zags! 3 overtime sessions! The best Gonzaga game so far this season, the Bulldogs barely beat out the Michigan State Spartans in the semi-finals of the Maui Invitational tournament. The next game will be the final one of the tournament against either U-Conn, or the University of Arizona (where I almost went to college). Please to be watching / recording ESPN Wednesday at 7 pm pacific, hopefully the Bulldogs will beat the Huskies of U-Conn, or whatever the mascot is of U of A, I should know this, not the Sun Devils, that's ASU. There's Bear Down Gym, I think...WTF is the mascot of U of A? Thanks google, the Wildcats. I'm a dope, how could I not remember that? I was accepted and very nearly went there. Pathetic. Bulldogs lost to U-Conn. I might not've heard it correctly through my tears, but I thought the announcers said that Adam Morrison won MVP of the tournament. Imagine that, his team lost, but he's still the best player of the whole tournament. That doesn't happen much. Good on you diabetes boy, Che look-a-like.

As I've mentioned before, I'd like to pay for all of my holiday gifts with funds earned using Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk job thing. The approval process has gotten faster, so I might be able to pay for a tiny portion of my gifts with Mturk dough. So far I've made $1.11. Each job pays 3 cents, it'll take a while to get rich.

I always thought Scientology was legit before I saw the most recent South Park. Asking lots of rhetorical questions from now on. Please don't answer unless a paying member of the Scientology organization.

Wonder why Germany won't grant Scientology religious status? Wonder why the US does grant Scientology religious status? Are there any congress persons or senators that are Scientologists? How does crazy get elected?

This is perfect. A desk that clears itself, maybe hit the button once a week, or when you're too tired to manually knock all the shit off your desk. Anyway it's really some high concept art thing, which is kinda precious. Maybe the future will have desks like the ones here. I'd make my own but afraid I'd end smashing an expensive LCD Monitor somehow.

I have found the way to make my millions. I'll evaluate photos at 3 cents a pop for Amazon. So far I've made 27 cents, might take a while to get millions... Amazon Mechanical Turk aka mturk.com. The money made via turk is credit at Amazon, my master plan is to buy all my Xmas gifts on Amazon with turk credit. I better get cracking, 27 cents won't buy much. Maybe the master plan should be amended to buy all Xmas gifts next year with turk credit. No Xmas [gifts purchased by turk money] this year, darn.

You fucking asshole christians, praying that you win, all the while making snide comments about your competition. Assholes, maybe your dad/husband meant to die while racing his car just to get away from the negative vibe.

To change the time format in Nucleus go to your Admin page, then go to the Templates area under Layout. You'll want to change both the short and long versions of the template you're using. The default time formatting is %X, to make it a 12 hour clock with the am/pm stuff change it to %I:%M %p as I have. Really easy once you know where to look.

I choose not to wear paisley prints because they are ugly, click the link and read that they are also evil. Be sure to have your speakers turned up loud while you read.

Sheesh, wait a pain in the butt. Well, looks like I figured it out at last. Would've had it up and running yesterday if I could've got into the GoDaddy PHPMyAdmin, for some reason the server my database is on was unresponsive.

Just a heads up to all the fans (ha!). I activated my GoDaddy hosting today, so this place might be a 404 pretty soon. Cross your fingers, maybe this will be a seamless switch-over...

HBO: Ali G. Buy/Rent the DVDs, or look for the episodes on BitTorrent or whatever else pirates use. I watched the second season (rented from Netflix) of "Da Ali G Show" recently, fucking funny stuff, funnier if you aren't racist or homophobic. If you are racist or homophobic, you might laugh, but for the wrong reasons.

First season isn't as funny as the second season, because the second season lists as a writer the Spokane born Jeff Stilson, think he went to my high school, Joel E. Ferris, the pride of the south hill, the only high school on the south hill. Lewis & Clark doesn't count because it's pretty much in downtown.

Those great folk at Go Daddy. Had a voicemail from one of their reps when I got home. He just wanted to say "Hi", and ask if I had any questions about the hosting I signed up for recently. That's super. Can I hug you GoDaddy?

My current host is getting antsy because I didn't re-up yet. I have until the 15th of November to move this shit site to GoDaddy.

Get it while the gettings good. Possibly a free month of upgraded service from Netflix. I didn't even know there was a class action lawsuit against 'em. Netflix Settlement info available there. I personally settled, hopefully I won't have to downgrade my account myself after the free month of better service. I'll sue if I do!

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

iPhone glass replacement kit showed up today. The glass in the kit was broken. Shoot.

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
