Trapz and stuff June 25th, 2009

Couple updates..

We’ve had to escalate the fox battle a bit, there are 6 leg hold traps out on the property. Try not to get caught!

We picked up a matching pair of t500s to replace our aged out r40s. This has been the easiest linux compatibility install in a while. Kubuntu for epe, and Gentoo for me.

We’ve been seeing a great deal of wildlife in the field areas we cleared two years ago. It’s been nice to see the field grasses/clover fill in, and even nicer to see the animals seems to like it. Some (Godzilla cam) videos up on TY.

We just had a tank-less water heater installed as well. We’ll let folks know how that works out.

Happy Zombie Jesus Day! April 12th, 2009

You tell me…

Recession Gardens April 6th, 2009

If anyone feels wants/needs a garden to help out and doesn’t have room for whatever reason ( renting/no room/hallucination/we really don’t care what the reason is ) feel free to get in touch with me or epe and we’ll see what we can do for you =). We have several idle acres near the house/barn that have water and storage available, and if you’re completely insane we can always set you up in the western field :).

(No you can’t grow weed ;P)

Don’t forget February 13th, 2009

Friday the 13th for those of you who believe in that kind of thing.

AND!

1234567890 day for those of us that live in UNIX :). Probably the last great timestamp until the world comes to a crashing halt in 2038 or so. 32bit numbers are more then enough for anybody :).

Welcome to 2009 January 1st, 2009

Happy new year folks.

Get well soon Nick December 18th, 2008

You’ve taken all the fun out of my Dick Cheney jokes…

You know what day it is!

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr

I cancelled my pre-order for Spore May 7th, 2008

News came out this week that EA intends to release spore for the PC with DRM that needs to checkin with the mothership every 10 or so days in order to stay operational. (it will work again once you re-connect no matter how long it’s been). This isn’t the kind of setup I can get behind. There are numerous problems that can creep up with this type of setup not the least of which is what happens to the game in a few years when the “magic servers” go away? Didn’t we just go through this mess with the MSN DRM music fiasco?

Anyway, shame on you EA. Someday you’ll realize that this type DRM only fucks the people doing the right thing in the first place =/. I’ve canceled our two pre-orders from amazon. If they decide to stop doing dumb things we’ll consider picking them up again. If not then we’ll uh.. do something else :).
