Nuff said.
Funny stuff Iddo!
Bummer. I've been using google reader for several years. I'll probably use the Drupal aggregator module to reproduce the functionality but I'm still a little disappointed.
So I didn't really care for the webDAV module for Drupal 6, but it turns out that my hosting company (dreamhost) had a pretty nice and easy to use set up to run webDAV directly from their webserver. Nice of them.
I'm hoping that by installing the WebDAV module for Drupal here it will give me a free Dropbox style way to sync things between my idevices and my computers. We'll see.
One more test. This one will get front paged. Will it make it to the rss feed.
I am so done with the NCAA. Yes, the suspension of Ohio State players looks like it was done with the money to be made from bowl games in mind (otherwise, why not suspend for that game too or instead?), but that is not what sent me over the edge.
Why, oh why do relatively big bowl games involving top tier teams need to be broadcast (if you could use that word--I'd go with narrowcast instead) on ESPN? I'm thinking specifically of the Outback bowl, Capital One bowl, the Sugar bowl, and (for g-d's sake) the Rose Bowl (soon, no doubt, to be renamed the Staples bowl or something equally stupid). I have no doubt that an enormous amount of money is involved, none of which comes from me.
Of course, the main reason this bugs me is that I don't have ESPN. I enjoy sports, just not enough to justify paying for ESPN. But this also bugs the bleeding heart in me: yes, if I wanted to, I could get ESPN. I even toyed the idea of calling my provider on January 1 to change my channel line up. But, what about people who don't actually have cable or satellite TV? It very much reminds me of when I stopped giving a shit about the Cleveland Indians: when they moved from broadcasting on the airwaves to a cable channel (I don't know what they do now, because I stopped caring). I know old poor people who enjoy watching baseball games who had their access to those games shut off. Where the Indians then and the NCAA now within their rights to do what they did? Of course. But damned if I'm going to support them in anyway for doing it.
No, I don't write much, and it's usually work related, but I saw these two clips within an hour of each other, and they certainly seem to be related. First the Carlin clip (with a fair amount of not safe for work words):
And then "retiring" congressman from Florida (he lost his reelection bid):
That is not to say that I think that the fine folks at Fox are the only ones; people who make a lot of money really want to keep doing that, even if it is at the expense of the economy and everyone else in the country.
Now the house is on ForSaleByOwner.com; go take a look, it's a nice one!
I finally came to the realization that I need to make a virtual machine that has "all" of the gmod software installed and ready to use on the cloud (aws). Fun new project.
