Lucan Says: Eat!

Some months ago, I decided to get a paid FilePlanet subscription. Anyone can sign-up for FilePlanet, but only those who pay their quarterly fee of at least $15 can have access to faster servers for downloading and higher-end content and events. I did it to get access to the World of Warcraft beta for myself

Teh WinnarsOMG!!11!!1

We arrived. We answered. We won. The Blogging Liberals of Atlanta (or Atlanta-Based Liberals Who Happen to Blog) rung in our reign of eventual local domination by placing first at tonight’s Team Trivia at Central City Tavern in Buckhead. The going was rough, some answers were missed, but we overcame all obstacles through an unexpected

New Gallery Too

I grow weary of my Gallery. The engine is too cumbersome for all I’m asking, maintenance is a bother and this past weekend’s upgrade has all of my albums in a looping cycle of inaccessibility, so I’m switching over to something simpler: Simple PHP Gallery. And for the sake of space, I’m hosting them on

It’s Upgrading Time

The final version of WordPress 1.5 is out. All of the hair-pulling bugs are supposedly exterminated, so I’m going to attempt their celebrated “5-minute” upgrade. If all goes as planned, nobody should notice a thing. If not, well … Well. We’re done, though 5 minutes is a bit of an underestimate. If any of my

No More News

I’ve cancelled my GigaNews account. GigaNews is a provider of deep content newsgroups, renowned for the longer than usual retention. I’ve been a GigaNews user since March of 2002. I’ve downloaded everything from movies to games to music to … well … mostly music. To be honest, I made GigaNews my primary source of media

When Addictions Collide

It is kind of like a comic-book crossover across time. Or something. Or not. Regardless, the news is still cool. Now, I’m still not sure if he’s going to be a really convincing homeless fellow, but … well … I’ll let Mr Wheaton take it from here. “Congratulations, Wil,” he said. “I’ll talk to you

Whether

I’ve added a local weather report to the sidebar. Why? Because I can. And hey, if you ever think to yourself, “I wonder how the weather is down there?” — well, now you’ll wonder no longer. Also, I’ve turned the archives and the categories into drop-downs. I think the UI design I’m doing at work

Rusty Was Right

For weeks now, the Dread Pirate Rusty has been hot on the trail of a pseudo-reporter named Jeff Gannon. I was beginning to think the poor gent was delusionally obsessive, like Ahab when he chased the whale. But sometimes, obsession pays off. Gannon claimed special op status in the White House press corp, calling himself

But For The Grace of Google

Through the magic of Google-caching, I was able to restore a lot of my original look without too much effort. Everything ought to be back to damn near normal. Speaking of Google, you might be interested to learn that they’ve introduced yet another new feature: Google Local. While not as out-right informative as CitySearch, the

H4ck3d!!!!1!11

I don’t know you, Rowdy, but I think you suck. So yeah. Got hacked. Or rather, my host got hacked. What you’re readingjust above this line is the incredibly poignant and philosophical statement left by our brilliant intruder. Jerk. Update: Well, we’re back. Partly. I’ve used Eris Free’s template generator Binary Bonsai’s Kubrick template to
