That’s better. This took a lot more of today than I wanted it to, and it’s now up to needing about two hours to render. I wasted half the day trying to figure out why half of the goddamn spheres were gray and half were white, or whatever color I set them to. It’s because some [...] First steps. Be very afraid. This is going to be hella. Last straw, guys. That’s it. Migrating all my domains elsewhere. A domain I run expired while I was down in Texas last week. I got back and noticed it was down this morning, so I went to discountdomainregistry.com, the registrar I was once very happy about, to renew it. Their website was down and nonfunctional. Again. [...] I’m fed up with plastic. I don’t want anymore. CDs and DVDs. I’m done. They take up space, they get scratched, they get lost or stolen. I don’t want them anymore. Music and movies are now strictly digital in my world. I don’t care that the entertainment industry is still trying to recreate physical scarcity in [...] Finally installed the EnableRootSSH and apt mods on your ReadyNAS? Ready to take control of it? Being stuck with Vi making you want to claw your eyes out? Ah, so YOU’RE the other one in this situation. Well, good news!

It took a few hours in total to squeeze down (but retain) the Windows XP partition and install OSX over the rest of it. Yes, Apple [...] Anybody want to hazard a guess what this is, what it means, and why it makes me happy? I bought MYOB in 2002 (or so) to do my accounting with. I still use it, but I never upgraded from the original version because right after I bought it, MYOB Inc. put in the most draconian copy protection I have yet encountered. Where most big-ticket software requires you to enter an activation code when [...] I just spent $100 on something that everybody I asked assured me that I didn’t need. I noticed recently that when photographing the third of three drawings all done on the same blue paper with the same black and white charcoal, and photographed under the same light, that I nonetheless had three images that looked nothing [...] One of the websites I administer recently had a database failure that knocked the site offline for 12 hours. It was at one of the big, cheap hosting ISPs, where things work fine when they work fine, but problems are unpredictable and slow to be fixed when they occur, particularly at night. Since I do not [...] |
