As I have bitched about below, I had a printer die on me recently. The new one is on the way, but since I had to shell out a good $400 for it, my credit card was put damn near its limit. My ISP wasn’t able to bill the card, so I had to write […]
I care not for Christmas, nor Easter. Ha!
Well, out of boredom and a need to express my geekdom in as many ways as I can, I’ve installed “Lubuntu” on my netbook. Lubuntu, for those not in the know, is the variant of Ubuntu that uses LXDE as its desktop environment. I use LXDE over Ubuntu or Xubuntu on most of my computers. […]
While I was enjoying my day off today, I decided to kill some of my precious time on YouTube. I was checking out some Pet Shop Boys videos (I SWEAR I AM NOT GAY!!!) and I happened upon something I immediately liked. Now before I continue blabbering, I’ll just state that this instant fondness is […]
So, my opinion of Ed Bott is that he’s a shill and an Áœber Fanboy for Microsoft. Still, this is fucking hilarious. And it has me thinking of Windows 3.1. A while ago I watched this video of someone running Windows 3.1 on a Nokia phone. Pretty neat trick. I have a very old monochrome […]
Well, bluddy ell. I heard on the weather today that the atmosphere above Calgary was unstable. No shit. When I got out of work, it was freezing. When I rode the train through to downtown, it was a fucking blizzard. When I got downtown there was no freezing rain but it was about as windy […]
Well, I’m too fucking pissed off to write a blog post tonight. My fucking HP printer just died… actually it had been a slow death because since I got the fucking thing it would repeatedly tell me it was out of fucking paper when it wasn’t. Now it won’t fucking print at all. I threw […]
This song came up in conversation while I was getting a ride home from my friend Uncle Furry. I asked him if he had ever heard of Kow Kow Calqulator, to which he responded “no”. That, I’m guessing, is what most people would have said. But onward I pressed. “Did you know,” I said, “That […]
I can’t take credit for this pic. It’s from a very good article over on ZDNet. The gist of it is this: Fuck Apple.
Here it finally is. I had to get over the 7MB upload file limit for this blog. That’s why it’s in 15 files. So if you have a mobile device, such as the iPod Touch (Fuck Apple, btw), or an Android phone, or even a Pocket PC, go ahead and download these to look at […]
First version Album version This is a song about Ronald Reagan… mostly. For those of you not old enough to know who Ronald Reagan was, he was a B-Movie actor. He was also a douchebag supreme. Also, a real prick. But he was physically strong. Anyway, Dead Kennedys […]
Well, I made a “Mobile Version” of The Robots of Love. It’s basically one panel per image… and it comes out to 157 images instead of 26. I wasn’t able to upload it all in one zip file however. And seeing as how I can barely keep my eyes open, I will have to work […]
The day was salty like the sea Not really but I’ll tell this tale Of what the state is now of me As I sit headachy and pale My life is boring most the time And only on occasion rare Do I do something that might rhyme With interests foul or interests fair For instance […]
Well, nothing of substance to say tonight. You see, I’ve just spent more of my hard-earned money on phone sex with a lovely lady through the NiteFlirt website. Giggity. I do want to mention something I forgot to complain about in my Ubuntu post just below. Who the fuck put the window control buttons on […]
Okay, I can’t find this song on YouTube, so as a consolation, the less quirky but catchier “Hypnotizin’ Boogie“. I bet most people have never heard of David Wilcox. There’s an American folk singer named David Wilcox, but he’s his own man. I’m talking here about the wacky, off-beat, talented Canadian blues-rock guitarist. He is […]
I saw some recent screenshots of the latest version of GNOME, which apparently is in contention for being an early version of GNOME 3.0. I hate it. I see a very nasty trend in GUI design lately. That trend is all about eye candy. Eye candy and the need to cater to stupid people who […]
Digital Restrictions Management. What a fucking sick joke this is. I just read about another DRM system that has gone down in flames. This time, like so many times before and many more times to come, the paying customers who were dumb enough to be sold defective goods are being shafted. So, you paid for […]
YouTube link, before I forget to mention it again. First, a joke! Hooray! Q: How do you castrate a Catholic priest? A: Ë™ÊÉɾ Çɥʇ uı ÊŽoqɹıoɥɔ Çɥʇ ʞɔıʞ Ha! If hell existed, there would be a special place in it for Christian pedophiles. But thinking and talking about this makes me extremely angry, so I […]
Demo version, that is. I reckon. You can’t talk about things from “The South” without saying “I reckon” every now and then. I reckon. I only know the demo version of this song. The YouTube search results tell me that there is a version of this song on “Street Survivors”. Determining the veracity of that […]
I’m sure many of you out there have noticed that motherfucking godawful bloody Daylight Saving time has cursed us all with its presence one more time. Except for folks in Saskatchewan. Why did they realize that DST is a useless fucking turd and not the rest of us? Anyhoo, you’ve probably guessed by now that […]
Wow. I’m really surprised that this song is on YouTube. You would think that the avaricious and corpulent scumbag lawyers would shake their greasy and cash-stuffed fists at anyone who dared upload a cultural gem like this song to a publicly viewed website. Fuck I hate lawyers. Copyright lawyers are bad people. Anyway… happy thoughts… […]
Thats all I have to say. I had a nice long weekend, but because of a weather headache, I didn’t get around to all the nice little projects I’ve been putting off for so long. Next time. I’m still loving the upgraded version of Firefox. And I’m tired so I will go to bed. I […]
That’s me! Look how happy I am! And look how shiny my coat is! Seriously, I’m no longer thinking about ditching the Linux version of Firefox. Since I did my little experiment with installing and using the daily builds, I’m enjoying the quickness and light weight of the browser. I just uploaded some pics and […]
This is actually exciting news on Linux. As much as I love Linux, there’s one thing I can not stand about it. The way that software gets installed is a fucking mess. I’ve learned the hard way that unless you are a Linux programmer, you shouldn’t try to install anything outside of what your distro […]
Wow! 311 is today’s date! No, it’s not actually. I was thinking of posting about a 311 song yesterday. So I missed by one day. Here’s a video for the song, which I’ve never seen until just now. 311 is one of those bands that you almost hate to admit to liking. Their lyrics are […]
YEAH!!! Man, this tune takes me back. All 18 minutes of it. See, I’m one of those weirdos who really likes long Progressive Rock songs. That might stem from all the symphonic Classical Music I listened to when I was growing up. It might also stem from the fact that I’m just a weirdo. I’m […]
Let’s go, let’s go, Down to Furry’s blog where I wanna lie low Low life, high life, woah let’s go, Take me down to Furry’s blog Everybody tag alog! Lyrics by Wings, fucked up by Robotman So my friend Uncle Furry has a blog. Check it out! He has a rudimentary command of the English […]
Fuck Apple And fuck Steve Jobs. Apple is the new Microsoft. They are a dangerous monopoly and they must be broken up. Apple can no longer innovate, so its business is based on abusing the completely broken US patent system. Apple is now suing HTC over something which Apple stole from someone else. Fuck Apple. […]
Here’s a live version… which is decent. How many of you out there have the album “Zaireeka” from 1997? No one? Zaireeka is an oddity. It’s actually 4 CDs, but they’re meant to be played all at once start-to-finish. Yep, that’s right. The album is spread out over 4 discs, meant to be played on […]
Now this is some pure, uncut rock. No, not crack cocaine. I’d even say it’s some excellent 70s rock, but it’s actually from a 1969 album called “Grand Funk” Now, some of you might have heard some Grand Funk Railroad on the radio. They did have some hits. If you have heard those hits, then […]
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Today’s “Song of the Day” post is about…. Sorry, I have to make a childish joke first. “Dong of the Gay”. Heh. Derp. Okay, this post is about how sheltered and naive I used to be. When I was growing up, my parents were very strict about everything. […]
It’s Friday. Good for me. I’m going to bore you for a while and talk about my weather headaches. Lately I’ve been getting disorientingly dizzy along with the headache pain. So my solution is to get myself a prosthetic head. I can probably just get something made of Styrofoam. Just pin some googly eyes to […]
And here I am… blogging from my Android. No, not one like that. I’ve got my new phone all set up, and I’m typing this in a “notes” application that I got for free from the Android app store. I went looking for a proper word proccessor, but I didn’t find one. I think I […]
You gotta love this guy. THAT’S AN ORDER!!! If you don’t feel like reading my prattle, my twaddle, my blabber, my chatter today, just check out this link: http://geaky.com/262-David-Lee-Roth-SoundBoard.html While all the children are playing at the above link, I shall now gather the responsible adults around me, and we shall rationally discuss the merits […]
No post tonight because my parents’ poor kitty Joey is sick.
“Starless” (part 1) “Starless” (part 2) My favorite song. No, actually my second favorite song, right after “Paranoid Android” by Radiohead. I think. That’s variable. One of my faves for sure. This song is fucking amazing. I know I’ve described songs as awesome and amazing before, but lets just do something here for a bit. […]
Cheer the fuck up! I think this one‘s about how everything seems to suck but you need to get your shit together and carry on living anyway. And if it’s not, that’s okay. The Drummer for this band, Paul Hester, didnt’ take that message to heart. He hung himself in a park around the turn […]
Ah, Vegetation day. Silly me… working hard all week. I should have known better than to not be born to parents who are filthy fucking rich. I spent today doing laundry and playing around with my Amiga emulator again. Not so much actually playing, as still making “configuration files” that allow me to load the […]
Something very bizarre happened to me a couple of months ago. I received a call from someone at Rogers Canada, my phone company. They had noticed that the majority of the “minutes” I spend on my phone are taken in the evening on weekdays. This is because of my phone sex dalliances, of course. The […]
That is the image that appeared first in a Google image search when I entered “whatever the fuck comes to mind” in the search box. Not bad. I was going to blab a little bit about how I’m reading a lot of Roman history now. I was going to do this when I talked about […]
I just went hunting in Rhythmbox for a song to yap about, because the one that I heard on my way home is a little to long for a “Song of the Day” post. That song, over 47 minutes long, is actually an entire album played live. The band is Camel, and the album is […]
Oh, that Peter Hammill! Always running about with a crazed look in his eyes and his half-beard. You see, he was born with a full mustache and beard on the right side of his face. And pointing his thumbs ever outward. No, that’s not true. This is a good song, however. It’s about how The […]
This YouTube link sounds pretty good. And I feel pretty good. I’ve got some Chef Boyardee cookin’ in the microwave, and I can eat it again without getting headaches! I also feel pretty good because I have another headache and the codeine is kicking in. Codeine is a narcotic, as some of you may know. […]
I’ve had these pics on my desktop for a couple of months… I was going to post them to the ol’ blog here to show to some artists over at Fembot Central. Well, here they are. Click on the images to see them full-size. Start mannippin’!
Firefox is a very fine browser. It’s full-featured, and it allows for the use of some excellent add-ons. It used to be the fastest browser out there for Windows. As far as Linux is concerned, Firefox is a sludgy molasses pit. Things have improved a bit since Firefox 2.0, but it’s nowhere near what it […]
I won’t be saying much tonight because my head hurts bad. The past month has been the worst for weather headaches I’ve ever had. I thought about getting a prosthetic head…. but that might not be such a good idea. Speaking of “Down for the Count”, that’s an album by some hair metal band called […]
Not my headline, but one from Christopher Dawson over at ZDNet. Seeing as how I’m under the effect of another bloody Chinook headache, and seeing as how I can’t get the neurons firing to think of a topic to blab about myself, I will just let you read that. And read this too, because it’s […]
Believe it or not, Megadeth was once good. Fuck that, they were once FUCKING BRILLIANT. Okay, actually, if were counting by albums, they were thrice brilliant. Here is my version of the Megadeth story… taken as far as I stopped giving a fuck about Dave Mustaine: Dave Mustaine, one of Metallica’s key songwriters and their […]
Please excuse the low quality of this video’s sound. The song is really excellent, trust me. The low bitrate here doesn’t do it any favours. If you have the album “Dimension HatrÁ¶ss”, pop that in your stereo/player/whatever now. I SAID NOW!!! I don’t know who that old dude is. I just Googled “Insistence” for a […]
Ah, the long weekend. I understand it’s President’s Day down in the U.S. of A. Goody for them. I had a day off today on account of “Family Day”. Looking at the Wikipedia article for Family Day, I see I could have observed Louis Riel day too. Damn. Next year. I just mangled that picture […]
