Full of Win!!!

2008/10/15 – 10:03 pm

Clearly not the answer he was expecting, huh?  I absolutely love how his face went from such a condescending attitude and smug look when he said "Oh, by the way, we still haven’t heard how much that fine is", to the look shown above.
I understand that McCain doesn’t like Obama, and that he feels some [...]

One of two great moments of the presidential debate

2008/10/15 – 9:15 pm

Daily Kos is having a caption contest for the following picture:

I haven’t been able to find any video yet of my favorite part of tonight’s presidential debate, but I’m looking hard, because it caused outright laughter from the entire group of people in the debate watching party here.
Hopefully I’ll be able to share that [...]

The very worst of America

2008/10/10 – 7:00 pm

This is from a John McCain rally in Bethlehem, PA on October 8th. The only things missing are the white sheets and flaming crosses.

 
Please remember, this is my own personal opinion, and is not intended to represent the opinion of *anyone else*

Mono is teh suxxors

2008/08/30 – 9:29 am

Yup, that’s right, I said it : The Mono rollout blows goats.
The plan, as given by Linden Lab™, was that existing scripts would not need to be recompiled to Mono, and could continue to run as they always have :
Unless scripts are explicitly converted to run on Mono they will continue to run on [...]

What in the world is wrong with Second Life now?

2008/08/28 – 12:56 pm

I got an interesting IM this morning :
[07:00] Silver Csak:  Dear Robby, The wave and the taketory dont work right in the Shadow sim,,,,,, starting in block position then to kick, then back to block,, takes about 7 seconds if it works at all,,,, pretty serious problem on this sim,,,, but it works [...]

WTF – Password required to read SL Blog?!?!?!

2008/06/18 – 5:17 pm

Check out this dialog I was just presented with when I opened Firefox to read some of today’s blogosphere buzz :

Okay…  "Apparently there’s a picture or something in that blog post that is hosted on JIRA, which is causing the browser to ask me for my password", I thought to myself, "I should [...]

Taketori sales halted until further notice

2008/05/30 – 11:47 am

Due to Second Life being full of fail and the Lindens taking several hours to finally even notice the problem, I’ve disabled all sales of the Taketori Katana until further notice.
Once I’m convinced that Second Life has returned to some semblance of stability, and that people can no longer continue to take advantage of the [...]

Bitten in the butt by debug code again

2008/04/28 – 7:41 pm

Yup…  Those of you who’ve upgraded to the V1.0.5 Taketori Katana have probably already found the bit of debug code I had in there for the benefit of my beta testers, and which I should have taken out before releasing a general update.  I know that a few people have already reported (why only [...]

Off topic: XKCD Rocks

2008/01/27 – 11:02 pm

If you haven’t heard of the online comic XKCD (and you love geek humor), then you really should check it out!
If you need a little idea of why I think it’s so good before you go clicking blind links, lemme just post a couple of examples that I thought were funny (and that would fit [...]

WindLight® V1.18.6 : WTF were they thinking?

2008/01/26 – 7:21 pm

I mentioned previously that the latest version of WindLight® was an abomination, but only now is the true measure of FAIL being discovered.
Apparently, the issue with C:SI swords and other attachments being partially visible (or as Colin puts it: "turned my Wave into airport landing lights) when they are not supposed to be is intentional.
Lemme [...]
