This video is from drunk­gamers.com (local copy). Reasons for gamers to switch to Apple computers. ;)

Update: Apparently drunk­gamers.com shutdown, so I've replaced the dead link with one to Google video, and included a local copy link.

I know that you've all heard of this before, but I was having a nostalgia kick today, and decided to post it for perusal. Maybe, just maybe, there's someone out there who was stuck in the African outback for five or six years. It's possible they have never been to the Official Website, and maybe they haven't seen this or this or the opening scene of this video game...

... yeah, and maybe I'm a small furry evil fighting hamster (remember, there is an actual TV show with that concept).

I've never even heard of these guys before, but they apparently have something of a following, or used to, or something. Wacky stuff. Check out the shockwave animation spoof of the song on the this page.

Note: All the yatta links are down.

Oh, and another thing, what's up with Sierra deciding that they shouldn't produce kick-butt games anymore? I mean, Homeworld set the standard for so many games, and now they're thinking of dropping funding for Homeworld 2?!?!?!? Admittedly, Homeworld Cataclysm wasn't quite up to par with the original, but it was still a good game.

Anywho, nothing's solid, so no clown-suit and high-powered rifle for a while, …continue.

Apparently I'm WAY out of it, because I missed this news altogether. I guess USA Today was cracked, and fake news stories were put on their site. Have to say, it gives me a chuckle, even though white hats should not approve of such hijinks (the url that 'hijinks' used to reference no longer works). ;) Through some diligent searching (and a lot of help from ars-technica) I found screen caps of the 'value added' content. All images have been clipped and converted to 'png' to save size, even so I'm linking to the pictures instead of displaying them.

Update: Also, apparently in the many iterations …continue.

I finally finished messing with the archives page, and have updated the one that's online. I think the new format is easier to navigate. There are three sort options (author, date, category) with two modifiers (ascending, descending). Experiment with it, and you'll get the hang of it.

Tired. Going to help wif make dinner.

Looks like dad got curious as to who authored the coolest video ever, and found her! Don't know exactly how, but hey, free dummy. ;) Also, he sent me a link to the lyrics.

Anywho, I did some digging around as well, and here's some dirt on the author. I wasn't able to find any reference to her as the author of the video, but I'm still looking around.

Oh, another thing, since my father's interested in teaching I've added the category "pedagogy". Maybe he'll enlighten us with the latin for "OW - my toe!"?

I've returned from my roadtrip, and now I'm back in oklahoma. It was great seeing Mike and Kirstin again, as well as driving to see my parents and the rest of the family and friends in New York. My nephew, Damian, is almost five and will be starting kinder­gar­den in the fall. It makes me feel really old. While I was back I picked up 2 copies (one for Damian, one for me) of Coraline, it's a won­der­ful­ly spooky kids book. But now, I'm back at work, and getting ready for a big numbered air force SAV (inspection.) So you can imagine that …continue.

Wondering what will happen if too many people log on here, and we keep making category names for every login name. I'm thinking that would NOT be fun. Anywho, the wif and I have come up with a solution:

• Postings under the categories 'dave', 'christy', 'duncan', 'peri­patet­ic', 'mike', and 'kirsten' will be moved to the category 'general'.
• Categories 'programs' and 'recipes' will be left alone.
• Categories 'oddities', 'pictures', and 'bios' will probably be added.

This will make it a bit difficult to find posts only by a specific individual so I'm working on a way to list the archives by user, then by date …continue.

I used the Per­sis­tence of Vision Raytracer a long time ago with a graphical front-end (at the time it was just command line) and it's come a long way. Check out the 'Hall of Fame' images - this program is incredible for something free! I used it today to create a 3D smiley face to use as the background of the menu. Here's the code to render the smiley.

The Per­sis­tence of Vision Raytracer is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-di­men­sion­al graphics. It is available in official versions for Windows, Mac OS/Mac OS X and i86 Linux. …continue.

Yesterday DNSupdate (the little utility that allows one of the domains - sinecure.pointclark.net - to point to my IP address when it changes) went all wacky on me. So, as a result, I grabbed a free domain called sinecure.homeip.net. Both weller-fahy.com and sleepy.nu should be pointing to the new domain now, so if DNSupdate does this again, it shouldn't affect con­nec­tiv­i­ty when using those.

Heh. Not like anyone needs to get to this page, but it's practice, y'know?
