The top 5 reasons I hate youI am just completely fed up with the human race. If you go out every day, there is a 99% chance that someone you encounter that day will be a douche bag, son-of-a-bitch, or an idiot. So I've compiled a list of the main problems that I encounter most every day. |
Slimbox - another Mootools triumphMootools, as my forum-mate Brad will surely tell you, is the best Javascript invention since the javascript equivalent of sliced bread (what would the javascript equivalent of sliced bread be anyway). Anyhow, I've been working on a custom asp.net CMS for a few weeks now, and I decided to use Christophe Beyls Slimbox, the ultimate lightweight Lightbox clone. BTW, Be sure to view my post regarding Javascript files in Master Pages if you plan on using this in an asp.net page (this Slimbox implementation actually precipitated that post) |
Javascript files in asp.net master pageHave you ever had one of those nights where everything you touch just doesn't work right? Well that's how my evening has gone. However, after endless google and MSDN searches, I found the answer to one of many questions this evening. That question, "WHY THE FUCK AREN'T MY JAVASCRIPT FILES WORKING IN MY MASTERPAGES!" |
Enough with the Veyron Ok, I've had it. I can't stand it anymore. No more will I stand idly by as countless bloggers and commenters alike endlessly spout over-valued claims of superiority and fan-boyishness of the spam factory that is the Bugatti Veyron. |
iPod CamoPhiladelphia isn't the nicest city in the world. In fact, it's a terrible place. Don't go there if at all possible. Problem is, I work there. At any rate, on the drive home last night I was thinking, as I normally do on the one and a half hour trip. What I was thinking as I passed a "group" of "kids" walking down the "street" (I use all these terms loosely), was that my iPhone seemed like a very easy way to tell people to mug me. The apple ear buds a sure sign that someone has merchandise that needs lifting. So what if there was some way to mask the fact that you've got an expensive technical object on your person?Well, a cheap-o tape player or super-cheap mp3 player would be a good cover, wouldn't it? So how about the headphones? Well, you can get headphones for a few bucks. Yes, they do suck, but you can easily rip them apart and stick the good quality ear buds in the shell. So then you take the shell of a Walkman or cheap mp3 player and put a pass through in it with a quick-release on one side and a normal 3.5 on the other. Headphones go in the normal plug, and your real mp3 player goes into the quick-release end. Attach the shell to your person and you're ready to go. With this setup, any potential confiscators will be able to see the device they think they're getting, which will probably stop them,. Who wants to risk jail for a ten dollar tape player? If they do decide it's worth the risk, when they grab it, all they will get is the headphones and the shell, with your mp3 player safely disconnected by the quick-release. You keep your expensive tech, and all you've lost is the decoy, which, since there it is essentially an empty cavity, could hold a tracking device so that authorities could track down your assailant and punish him soundly for being an idiot. Now, I was debating whether I was going to post this or not, until I found something that made it necessary. As I said, I was thinking about this on the way home, and had not told anyone about it. Later that night, I was stumbling, as I do when I cam upon a blog post. What had happened, apparently, was that StumbleUpon had read my mind. This post detailed and had pictures of the plan I had conceived just hours earlier. It's obvious that StumbleUpon has taken control of me. I am now stumbling subconsciously. Someone help... |

 As a follow up to my previous post about what guys want women to know, here are universal truths that all men should - but don't - understand.I say a good compromise would be that if they understand what we want them to know, we will try really hard to get this stuff right. Maybe. |
