so after a few hours twiddling, it becomes increasingly evident that i should pull my sound blaster live card out of my other

so it’s been a long time since i posted here. i could say that i’ve been busy, but really, that’s a lie; i haven’t been any busier than usual. the trip to seattle and post-christmas stuff was stressful and, yes, it did take a while for the gavinator to get back on track, especially since […]

so we’re supposed to be in seattle right now for the holiday. we’re not. here’s how it went. it’s a tale of woe and frustration in which we are partially at fault, but still, in my mind, the faulting parties are the airline industry. that’s right, assholes, i’m talking to you… so we’ve got a […]

so with the holidays comes holiday spirit and this is enforced/enhanced by holiday music. to add to your holiday cheer, i’ve created a couple holiday playlists. one is an xmas playlist i’ve been working on for a while. i just further enhanced it by adding some jpop and south park. today i just made a […]

so i finally finished reading lady oracle. some books are those that you can’t put down. this was one i couldn’t pick up. for a period of months when given the opportunity to read, i chose to do other things. sometimes consciously, sometimes not. i finally consciously started picking it up again to read in […]

this seemed really funny…possibly it’s because it’s late, we’re deliriously tired, and i just noticed the blog was getting spammed in the trackbacks (which i’ve disabled)…. sexy babe photos!!for more sexy babe photos, click here

i like amaroK. i think cedega is overrated. [more=there’s a lot more posted behind this link, but it’s kinda geeky, so be forewarned…there’s pretty screenshots tho.] the good: amaroK amaroK is a multimedia player (altho, thus far i’ve only used it for music). it works much the same way my ampache-powered page does. you create […]

erin, my source of news from the outside world, tells me the crocodile hunter died. ………..why does this come as no suprise? my only question is how he managed to stay alive this long. seriously, when you poke a lion 28 times in the ass shouting in your obnoxious australian accent “‘ey, kids, dunna try […]

ok. apprently i’m behind the times. apparently, it’s already old news that the internet is a series of tubes. my lack of knowledge of the series of tubes phenomenon can only be explained by positing that those tubes got clogged and my personal internet did not arrive until this morning. that’s right ladies and gentlemen, […]

so i’ve had the jazzsequence rss feed in my live bookmarks folder in firefox on my work laptop for a long time, and for most of that time, it hasn’t worked (you can sort of read about it here). it’s sort of stayed there as a reminder that something needed to be fixed. well, i […]
