Random links for April 11, 2007
Thanks to the Internet, I now know that the pee shivers are (possibly) officially known as post-micturition convulsion syndrome. How many incorrect stereotypes can you spot in this photo? Better yet, which ones are intentional, and which ones show just how ignorant the creators are? A sea lion eating a shark Christ almighty, that’s a huge rockfish! (and a century old…) Hey, look: A published magazine illegally using and actually watermarking my brother’s photographs! Sue those bitches, Adam! (and yes, people think that the thieves are the creators. Hell, they even think so in Thailand!) This is obviously a bigger sin than, say, incorrect attribution. Have a nice day.

(click image to open a larger version in a pop-up window) No HDR here, just channel mixing. HDR looks like fun, though.

Ctrl + F5 are friends…
So this is the theme I have chosen after trying out 30+. I am, unfortunately, too lazy to write my own all over again. If you are having trouble loading this page or the design looks funny, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while pressing F5. Note: After the upgrade, I noticed that the search function of this blog times out quite a bit. I’ll iron out the bugs eventually. In the meantime, if your search for “naked fat men” times out, hit the back button on your browser and try again.

time for a new look
Having tackled core software issues, it’s time to work on our design. I’m having a great time screwing around with different themes, and I hope Adam does, too (sorry dude, I hosed your previous theme when I overwrote the MT directory). It might be, um… colorful around here for awhile, until we decide on our designs.

Installing MT 3.34 on Dreamhost
After spending a whole day trying to figure out the right combination of fcgi wrappers, Movable Type core file extensions, and .htaccess voodoo, I think I got it figured out. All of my problems were due to 2 main reasons: There is no version 3.34-specific documentation easily available, including on the sixapart website As always, I made mountains out of molehills. In my defense, I can’t help it – shell access and the command line get me excited… Therefore, I offer the following advice for the installation/upgrading of MT to version 3.34 on a Dreamhost shared server: Change your domain settings to run PHP 5.2.1 and enable FastCGI support via…

fastcgi problems
I’m having some issues with an MT upgrade and don’t have the time to work them out today. Comments are hosed on all of our sites until I can get it sorted. Hell, I don’t even know if this will post or not…

Impossible Fish
Why not ride on the coattails of the Impossible Fish Tank? (See that? That’s how to give credit, bitches…) We somehow acquired a small fish tank at the house and went out to buy some fish to keep as slaves (not slaves in the sense that they will work our land for a share of the crops, but in the sense that they exist only to amuse us, since freshwater fish make such shitty companions/rescue animals). We went to the local pet shop and found mostly a bunch of fat, quivering goldfish and mollies, which I detest, as I like my slaves skinny (and preferably, forlorn/amusing). In a tank wedged…

How to get (kind of) Dugg
Dishonesty sucks So, children, the moral of the story is, “if you ever get caught with stolen merchandise, just tell the cops you didn’t know it was stolen.” Internets is teh kewl!!!

YouTube Blocked in Thailand
Office efficiency skyrockets and school delinquency rates plummet as the Thai government bans popular video sharing site YouTube. Luckily, my site isn’t hosted in Thailand (and why would it be?). It’s amazing how few people in power “get” the Internet. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| UPDATE: TIME has a more comprehensible summary of events

vindicated
An ATM ate my bank card and the screen flashed OUT OF ORDER in incredibly annoying red letters. I socked it pretty hard and it spit my card back out, then it resumed normal operation. That was pretty much the best thing that happened today (besides finding a really good fried chicken vendor downtown).
