Firefox..

For everyone running Firefox.. get the MOOX version from here:

(FYI, they just released 1.0)-- its optimized for different processors and actually manages to make Firefox run faster. :)

So..

I'm currently moving everything off of the hosting server to a new one.. so, if you notice anything breaking, let me know..

One big tip.. for anyone using Eudora, it might at some point give you a big scary error when trying to check or send email.. you'll have to go into your personality for that, go to the bottom of both incoming and outgoing tabs and change the item "USE STARTTTLS IF AVAIABLE" to "NONE" or "NO" or something similar. That will fix that..

ideas..

ok, how about these ideas for improving morecooler:
- somehow squeeze recent quotes into the ninja listing so they don't hide so much (and/or put a recent quotes box in the side there)
- replicate the quotes section and make this new one just for the nifty spam messages we get.. these things are getting really fun these days: "Re: strippers Vicdoin may make you drowsy" and such :)

microsoft is funny

ok.. so my little critical update downloader thing is blinking at me.. click on it and it tells me it wants to install this update:

Critical Update for Windows
This item updates the Bookshelf Symbol 7 font included in some Microsoft products. The font has been found to contain unacceptable symbols. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

WTF? Anyway.. fired up charmap.. its got some random accented characters, several Chinese characters, a few weird symbols, a Jewish star of David and a swastika (sp) :)

So,

I fly back from Dallas on Wednesday. In the elevator room at my apartment is a little notice from the apartment about the rash of car break-ins lately. Ok, fine. A little later we start to head out to dinner, and lo and behold, my passenger side window is bashed into a million pieces and my stereo is gone. Shit. The "individual" even yanked the piece of dash that the stereo is attached to.. ugh.. What I would give to bash this guy's head in.

Anyway, window's been replaced as of this morning.. luckily those guys vacuum glass too.. still looking for a dash piece, also looking at some loud-ass alarms. I want this guy's eardrums to shatter if he tries this again. Grr... some people..

Random tip 'o the day

Instead of posting a link to a file in the file thingy, just say the file name... Direct URLs into there are publicly accessible (I really should put in place some better system), but for now, do not post full URLs to the file thingy files. Been having a hell of a time trying to figure out why this server is doing about 4Mb/s over what it normally does and I think I tracked it down to the moSMB3.wmv file (its URL is on several random sites and its been downloaded 16,000 times already..), so its been renamed and I've replaced it with a smaller file to make people go away. :)

Btw- if anyone has a funny WMV file that's smaller than 200k, lemme know and I'll put it up there. I like saving bandwidth, but I also like screwing with people when they click on the link to the file. :)

japanese

excerpt:

The Japanese have what could be called an "interesting" grammatical structure, but could also be called "confusing", "random", "bogus" or "evil". To truly understand this, let's examine the differences between Japanese and English grammar.

English Sentence:
Jane went to the school.

Same Sentence In Japanese:
School Jane To Went Monkey Apple Carbeurator.

Ok.. board stuff

Ok, I just ran through the board real quick and here's simplified view:

c->w 613.47
s->w 170.52
C->M 525.75
c->s 353.1
m->w 106.11
S->M 70.41

This goes through the board proggy and we get this:

c->m 490.05
c->w 890.10
c->s 112.17

I'd appreciate it if someone else could also run through it to make sure I got it right.

FYI, I'm up in Yellowstone now.. going to be here for a week or so.. so no broadband :( and no cell phone :(

"File Thingy"

Ok, I've added a cheap file uploader thing to the menu on the right there ("File Thingy.") You can upload files in there and also download them. (And delete them when the get old.)

I don't suggest posting links straight to the file in posts or comments as those are public viewable whereas the File Thingy is only viewable if you are logged in. (But the file download links themselves aren't protected directly.. hey, I did say "cheap!")

So have at it. I've put up the maestro thing just to make sure it works..

Posted by matt on 7/18/03 at 7:18AM • link • comment (12)

Its more cooler with the engine.

Got my truck back today.. runs great! The injection pump wasn't needed as the diesel tech didn't plug the old one in all the way, so that's cool.. saved $1,600 there.. (ugh..) Anyway, the thing runs great and much cooler too.. popped the hood and it looks like the turbo charger is missing on top of the engine.. nope, the new engines just have it off to the side which keeps the engine and turbo nice and cool.. The hood wasn't even warm after driving back here (a rarity before.) Still looks odd under the hood as it looks like its missing some major part or two from what it looked like before. *shrug* Newer is better. :)

So anyway, the truck is back in commission and that engine should last forever.. (it damn well better.. :)

Some things are funny..

In other news, my car's getting its fuel injector pump replaced also (costing more, of course..) which is the same damn thing replaced 3 yrs ago when I got it.. argh..

Housing stuff

Ok, Martin talked to Walt today regarding the house and stuff. We've got a number of some carpet cleaners.. We're leaving the washer and dryer for the next tenants (OK'd by Walt.) And he's going to have someone clean up the backyard for $100 from our security deposit (Ok by me unless someone actually wants to do the cleaning? :)

Anyway, I'm moving everything of mine out on the 24th and it sounds like Martin is doing the same on the weekend following. We're going to be getting rid of the following this week and next: couch, loveseat, coffee table, my desk, bunk-beds, dresser and Martin's desk. If anyone wants these, have at them.

Walt's going to have people come in on the 1st if possible, so we obviously need everything out by then and have the carpet cleaning done by then too. I think we're going to have to have someone here when they do that.

Posted by matt on 7/14/03 at 12:46PM • link • comment (6)

I'd like to point out..

..that Martin did what I was given a lot of flack over near Cugini's. You know that sign that says right turn only and I thought it meant I couldn't turn left down at Broad? Well.. so did Martin so he went left (the wrong way) down the street. ;)

See, its not just me!! :)

Bryce: Suggestion

For morecooler.. once logged in, it would be nifty to have some sort of generic plug-in design so I can write stuff that you can use once logged in. Maybe create a "plugins" folder and look for all the php files in there to add to the screen you get once logged in (or menu on side) then when clicked, call a set function "exec_plugin" or something in that plugin php file and pass it the username/id or something..

My big thing is I want to write a file upload system so we can put files here (hell, maybe tie it in with forlop :) But I don't want to mess with your stuff on the site and you already have some session management and authentication stuff in place..

Car Go Boom Boom

Well.. The Matt-Mobile decided to stop working on my way back up to SLO on Monday. Turns out the engine has totally locked up, so I'm (*gasp*) without car for at least a week and half while a new engine (*cough* 9-grand *cough*) gets to be installed.. Guess nothing else can break now. :( Anyway, trucks down in Santa Barbara as it died about 30 mins north of there and they are the biggest dealership in the area..

Just driving along until some rattling started under the hood.. then it got louder within the mile, so as I pull onto the shoulder, the car dies (with a big bang and lots of black smoke), along with the power steering and breaks.. so I get out and notice the coolant leaking all over the road.. and I notice my cell phone has "No Service" in the middle-of-nowhere that I was at. Luckily some friendly folk saw the smoke and stopped behind me so I could call up AAA. Long story short, stayed at Brian's last night and got a call today regarding the damange.. never quite had that much to worry about before. It sucks as just buying another sub would be about the same amount, so might as well fix this one and get the new engine with its 3-yr warranty. And its going to take at least a week and half to fix it up.. Yup, fun week so far..

Hey Bryce- you need to make some sort of "reply" link or a quickie link at the top of the morecooler page if you're logged in.. or something.. dunno.. seems kind of odd to reply to something on the front page by clicking log-in, then add, then type..
