Stop. Just…. Stop.

I don’t know why, after over a year of only seeing these messages once in a great while, it’s becoming much more common to wake up to a bunch of emails like this :
Mantaly Mathy has placed the C:SI script into an object named Object

Full of Win!!!

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*

Ever have one of those days…

2008/09/24 – 6:34 pm

… where you finally realize that everything you’ve worked so hard on lately is just a steaming pile of poop?
I’ve been trying to create a new weapon, and despite the fact that I have some pretty great tools for the various stages of building weapons, and more reference photos and videos than I will ever [...]

Pixologic ZBrush 3.1 Crashes to Desktop on startup

2008/09/05 – 11:39 am

Quick Summary: Pixologic ZBrush 3.1 and Process Explorer by SysInternals/Microsoft do not play well together.
There are probably a hundred and one reasons that this happens to other people : When starting up ZBrush, the program will get as far as displaying the "Initializing ZBrush" splash screen, then suddenly and without any warnings or errors simply [...]

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 [...]

I R Not A Laptop Teknishunz

2008/08/13 – 7:06 am

Wouldn’t you know it…  Pretty much as soon as I was ready to get back into SL and start updating stuff, my laptop dies.  This weekend the fan on my main laptop starting making the most horrible racket you ever want to hear from a computer, and within hours the fan stopped rotating altogether.  [...]

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 [...]
