Not updating this as often as I’d like. Well, I’ve been sick, so that’s my excuse. But now I’m officially getting cheesed off. Yahoo! has got a Consumer Opinion category, which is basically where they put all the “Boycott Company X” pages. I have no problem with people who want to boycott a company, even if I don’t agree with their reasoning. But this…. […]

I’ve got a link from here over to User Friendly, an online comic strip about a bunch of techies who work at an ISP. It’s winning an impressive amount of kudos, and I know I personally find it hilarious.

All of this is customizable based on the channels you select, […]

Ignoring the fact that this critique was neither hosted on school computers nor written […]

What kinda ticks me off is that it costs as much as Windows 95 cost three years ago. Yes, the new stuff is nice, but this is hardly the quantum leap […]

Thought I’d start on a diary, after deriving much pleasure from reading through Brennen’s musings. I finally entered the wonderful world of .mod sound files today, after downloading Yamp and perusing the archives at http://martinet.simplenet.com/ (now defunct). Interesting idea, really: record small .wav files, then repeat and modulate them as necessary to create a complete song. Also bought Final Fantasy VII. I must say, so far it’s as impressive […]
