My Opera 8.5 Review on CNET

As this Opera 8.5 review took awhile to put together, I might as well post it here as well. I’ve been an Opera user since v6 after being fed up with reinstalling Mozilla and its extensions. Firefox has a lot going for it these days, but it still doesn’t feel as nimble as Opera to

Didn’t see it coming

My favorite show is canned. Fox will never grow another Simpsons-sized success with this kind of impatience. Maybe there’s hope on HBO/Comedy Central?

Adventures in Painting

Last night I dropped a whole gallon of white paint on the step on our front porch. I was carrying two cans and, needing one hand free to open the screen door, I slyly lodged one can on my knee against the outside wall. Don’t do this. Opening the screen the can tumbled off my

Piano!

Dear friends, You might’ve received a frantic call from Kathleen or me regarding helping us move an incredibly heavy piano that I purchased at Salvation Army. The item has been successfully transplanted to its new home in our office where it will await repair and tuning for decades. What does this mean to you? You

Camden Park

One of these days a West Virginia trip is in order and some of my favorite memories are from Camden Park. Originally opened in 1903, it still apparently has its original wooden coasters from the end of the 50′s. Check out the awesome train cars on the Big Dipper (1958). From the skyliner you can

(sniff)

A few hours after I called in sick on Friday, Kathleen came home, too, with a problem with her tonsils. We were pretty useless all day; she slept, I mostly sneezed uncontrollably, but I managed to install the new CPU in my recording computer and find it defective. I took what I thought was 12-hr

Reorder WordPress Link Categories

Update 1/14/2011: According to Dustin Gurley, this still works in WP3 w/ minor modification. Thanks, Dustin. Update 1/30/06: a plug-in now exists to handle this. WordPress lacks the ability to specify the exact order that link categories appear in the sidebar. The get_links_list() function can only order categories by name or id, and this limitation

Bookmarklet manager bookmarklet?

In the redundancy file. Someone needs to create a bookmarklet that loads into the current page an interface for executing pre-saved bookmarklets. I’ve already seen several examples of this with pre-defined sets of bookmarklets (notably Favelet Suite) but why limit the user to one set? I’m already keeping my regular bookmarks and RSS subscriptions online,

Links roll in

I added a del.icio.us linkroll to the bottom of the page so you can see how nerdy I really am what I’m bookmarking in real time. What is del.icio.us? Read my post about it.

Hana’s First Show

I posted on Gainesvillebands.com: This is Hana’s first show and you should be there. They’re writing the most beautiful mellow songs you’ve never heard…songs that you’ll come to treasure and nestle in your mixCDs and playlists around Low and MBV and the Clientele for years to come, but you get to enjoy them NOW out

Ctrling folders

OK, I’ve been annoyed for forever that, in Windows, you can either set your folders to always open in a new windows (good when I’m queuing up mp3s in very big folders where I don’t want to lose my place) or always reuse the current window (good for about everything else). Well, annoyances.org came through

X-treme News!

Dana is up in arms about UF and Satchel’s recent move from Coke to Pepsi. “the news that Pepsi has won an exclusive ten-year contract with UF has me longing for the sweet release of the grave.” UF employees will now certainly never have a chance at enjoying the only palatable diet soft drink. The

What’s Hot? Pt. II

Our House Friday Kathleen and I noticed that our AC had stopped blowing cool air. Further investigation revealed that the compressor motor was just making a racket without actually turning the fan blades. We tried reseting the breakers with no luck, now the motor won’t even come on. Chief suspects include burned out motor, low
