For those who have been through my archives or just know me, you’ll know that I participate in the SETI@home experiment. I know that other projects out there exist, such as the Folding project, but I find SETI to be a fascinating project, and it’s also the more ubiquitous geeky distributed computing project, so [...]
July 22, 2003Uncategorized1 commentGameSpot Review: Real Life
This has to be one of the best reviews I’ve read in a long time. I don’t want to spoil anything, but GameSpot rated it a 9.6 – go have a look, it’s worth the read.
CNN.com – Pentagon: Saddam’s sons are dead – Jul. 22, 2003
I don’t think I need to say much more here. I’m not even really sure how I feel about it. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, it’s good for the people of Iraq, but I find it hard to take joy [...]
My wife sent me this photo – her boss sent it to her. I found it quite funny, if a little big. The picture itself is rather large, so if you’re on dial-up, I apologize. I’ve resized the image with some simple HTML, so its dimensions are really twice what you see, [...]
July 22, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsBlog Change Bot
Boy, I’m just a linking fiend today. The Blog Change Bot is effectively a bot running on AIM, that uses the Blogger XML feed of changed blogs, as well as the weblogs.com XML feed, and sends you an instant message when the blog you’re interested in changes. I don’t know if [...]
‘AOL Journals’ To Bring Blogs To Millions (TechNews.com)
The Washington Post has an interesting article about how AOL (a company I used to work for, and still hold dear in my heart, even if I’m not a member now) is going to be releasing ‘AOL Journals’ – a blogging system for AOL members – as part [...]
www.delawareonline.com : The News Journal : LOCAL : Four-legged chicken born in Del.
I’m not sure if this link will last, but simply based on the URL, I hope that TheNewsJournal in Delaware will keep this link around for a long time. As far as I can tell, this is a reputable news outlet, and [...]
Well, today is the big day! Although she’s technically not done with classes until mid-September or so, my wife Lisa is getting to go through the once-a-year graduation ceremonies at the University of Phoenix. She attends courses at UoP online, and really enjoys how easy it is, but if her employer didn’t pay [...]
July 19, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsI read this quote today, but I don’t know who to attribute it to. If someone knows who said this, please let me know. I found it on some forums, and while there is a chance it’s an original quote, I have to admit that I somewhat doubt that it is. Then [...]
July 16, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsGameSpy has a great preview article up about an expansion to be coming out for SimCity 4, titled “Rush Hour.” I guess this means I should probably try and play SimCity 4 some more, as right now I’ve not played it too much. I really enjoy the game, don’t get me wrong – [...]
July 16, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsAOL kills Netscape
If I read this right, this means that Netscape has effectively been shut down, but I believe that Mozilla will still keep chugging along. Here’s to hoping it all works out right, because I love my Mozilla, and while Opera is nice and all, I don’t want to move.
My wife and I just got home from the Drums Along The Rockies, Albuquerque competition. The Phantom Regiment cleaned house amongst Division I, and the difference between second, third, and fourth was only about 0.35 of a point. Simply incredible. Revolution was also there, as the only Division II group. I’ve [...]
July 14, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsSo, I’m sitting here trying to apply for a job online using this eJOBS system that the University of New Mexico has set up, and it’s not working and it’s very very frustrating. I just thought I’d share that.
Today has been a somedown down day for me, I’m hoping to cheer up a bit [...]
I was looking at my web statistics today, and realized something interesting. Well, at least it’s interesting to me.
I’ve noticed that, as of July 13th, RandomThink.net will be one year old. The site has seen some changes since it’s inception, primarily that it was originally started with the intent to be a blogging [...]
