I assume most of you didn't already know this, so I'm going to clarify it up front. One of my favorite sci-fi trilogies is comprised of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Obviously the

Some More Updates... 2001/7/3 3:39 AM
I've gone ahead and rewritten many internal portions of the Presentation Engine (most of these changes won't be noticed by most people - unless you are looking at the code that it is.) This is in preparation for the upcoming first release of the Presenta

So long and thanks for all the processor cycles! 2008/3/20 4:02 PM
So it has finally happened. What you say? My old server that I was using for everything here at home, has finally been replaced. No it didn't break or fail in some way. After 5 years of good dedicated service (4.5 of which were trouble free), it was j

So I Went a Little Viral and Survived 2023/4/21 6:02 PM
Everybody knows I got a big mouth. That's why I have a domain for my name and I've been posting tripe to it for over two decades now. The surprising part is that every once in awhile I say something that resonates with other people. That happened last

Small Servers, Shitty RAID, Twitch and Caves of Qud 2018/10/6 1:30 PM
This post is really going to be just a random collection of random updates and thoughts. If you are looking for an overarching theme, I'm sorry to disappoint but there isn't one. Nevertheless, this might be worth reading anyway. Your call. So yesterday

Site Changes 2001/10/18 3:44 AM
I've made a few tweaks to the site in an attempt to enhance the 'asthetic' experience. I've tweaked a few off the fonts, added a news logo, and I've added the ability to place icons in with each of the news stories. Yes I stole the icons and the news log

Ship of Fools: The Race to Ban TikTok 2023/4/1 2:27 PM
Anybody even remotely invested in keeping up with current events here in America, knows that TikTok is on the verge of being banned. If you are a frequent reader, you already know that I am against that. Doubly so in this case as the US Government has y

Shattering "Old Code" Rose Colored Glasses 2018/5/24 10:36 PM
Over the course of my career, while my standards may have changed, I have always prided myself on the idea that the code I wrote was "solid" when judged by the standards of the day. Due to a recent job change, I found myself with yet another op

Scam Review: Big Tech Bullshit 2022/2/16 12:06 AM
This is a post that I will probably come to regret writing and publishing in the future. The reason for that is simple. This post is going to make a lot of former, current and potentially future co-workers feel like idiots. That's because the topic for

Sadism, Masochism and HD Antennas 2018/7/15 11:43 AM
Way back when in 2012, I did what is commonly referred to now as "cutting the cord". It was a bold move as all I had was a Roku device, a Tivo DVR and an HD antenna. If it had been solely up to me I probably wouldn't have bothered with the Tiv

Riding the Nostalgia Wave: How Old is too Old? 2017/12/5 9:12 PM
Over my years as a software developer I have on occasion stopped and asked myself, "What exactly is the point?" I realize that on the surface that sounds a bit depressing, but you have to recognize that over the last forty years virtually every

Repeat after me: Games are supposed to be fun 2017/12/19 11:50 AM
So over the last few weeks I've been dividing my time between Divinity: Original Sin and Horizon Zero Dawn. I stated playing Divinity first so I've plowed much more time into it, lets say 60 hours. Whereas I've put about 25 hours into Horizon. I love H
