Last week I was a little bummed that we had a little special LOST thing and not a full episode but boy was this week's worth the wait. We got a lot of confirmations and new bits of information and of course new twists. Can you change the past? maybe not in the sense we think in [linear], but apparently you can change anything that is happening (?). That'd still mean whatever happened happened but it'd blur the future/past lines. We'd think 1977 is the past and 2004... (post trimmed)

I have to tell you that I'm serious this time. I've tried to do graphics in the past a few times but never really seriously. I'll tell you it's been a heck of a week I've spent in PS, but I'm happy to report progress is being made. I am figuring things out. I am creating graphics without running to other people. It's cool to know that maybe one day I'll be good enough at Photoshop to be able to make a lot of the websites I want. Currently it... (post trimmed)

Heroes season 3 wrapped up last night with a bang. A lot happened in the episode that's kind of interesting. First off, what is up with Hiro's bleeding? It reminds me of the LOST time flashes but it seems everytime he uses his power after "baby touch and go" gave him his time control back he starts to bleed and have some kind of health problem. Surely Hiro can't lose his power! He is the best character on the show. Afterall, "Bruce Wayne only sleeps 2 hours a night... (post trimmed)

I've got so much stuff piling up on my DVR these days since I started some new projects but I finally got caught up on The Ultimate Fighter Season 9, and so far it seems more of the same as far as what's going on in house. Already have some petty games being played, played primarily by one one person on Team USA's team. It's obvious this guy is nervous or attention-starved as he's the one who always initates it. His plan is not working though, becau... (post trimmed)

Alright, let me explain the topic. When you move past the development stage and in to marketing your website then you're probably going to be spending lots of time in Google Webmaster Tools, querying all 3 engines [Google,Yahoo,MSN], and I'd encourage one to also browse around a bit one one of the better webmaster forums [ie, webmasterworld or a good SEO blog], but anyways I'm finding more and more the SERPS being cluttered with garbage, and I have no way of turning it off. I... (post trimmed)

Literally, that's the domain. Nifty huh. The free web directory is only a few days old and pretty empty. I have high hopes though. I'm attempting something a bit different than most, and if it fails then I guess that's life eh. You know, you can help the web directory out by su... (post trimmed)

I had heard through the grapevine yesterday that some activity over on d2jsp might of indicated that a Diablo 2 reset was coming, but I hadn't heard anything confirmed. If you play Diablo 2 online than you know that this is pretty much the biggest deal in the game these days, and obviously this peeks my interest due to my Diablo 2 Item Store which is pretty busy already but is majoril...

I've found that I actually have a lot of free time if I don't sleep. So while my insomnia still keeps hold of me I decided to fix some issues with my bullet lists in Firefox. I ended up doing a lot more in the process. I'm not really sure why but I enjoy messing about with this site. I think it's because I don't actually have any regular people who come here other than one or two. I suppose when your site sucks that you enjoy it more? No, that don't make sense, but...

I don't have an extreme amount of PS3 games, around 25, but many of them lack replay value. One thing I love about PS3 is the free online store (and free online in general). You can download lots of demos and such for free. I often check out the PS3 game demo section. One game I tried out around 2 months ago was Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. I remember playing Civ on the PC god knows how long ago. I'm sure some of you do too. Now, I was having a bit of nostalgia and... (post trimmed)

Just letting everyone know it's Double XP weekend on Call of Duty World at War and it couldn't of come at a better time. I just hit prestiege level 3 and I'm level 26 so maybe I can jump to 50 or something before the weekend. I hate leveling past 40 or 45 to be honest. See you on the battlefield soldiers.

If you're looking for the latest NBA scores and player stats then check out my friends website NBA Scores. It's pretty simple in it's purpose: to provide nba scores to fans in real time and without logging in to a bunch of random sites or news blogs. Perhaps some people will go visit it and all his hard work won't of been for nothing.

It's all too often code, both server, client, and markup related gets oudated. Ecspecially when said code may be 10 years old! So Monday I started re-developing another website of mine called Darktides that provides webhosting and domain registrations. This is my 6th version of the website since 2000, 4th corporate version. I'm essentially starting from scratch. New CSS, new mark... (post trimmed)

I had imagined that Strikeforce would not keep the EliteXC feel of things on Showtime/CBS and I'm glad I was right. I sure did not miss the bimbo cheerleaders. The fight card itself was pretty good. I saw Brett Rogers as well as Benji Radach on Inside MMA last week so I was interested in their fights already. It was also pretty cool to see Cyborg back in action. She's definitly IMO the top female fighter in the US right now. But on to the fights. Rogers vs Humphrey was p... (post trimmed)

Most things are functional and/or completed. There's a few things I still want to tweak a little, but it's mainly cosmetics. User stuff is working so feel free to make an account and throw some comments my way. If nothing else, it'll get you a free link to your site should you fill out your settings page.

Alright, so here's the story. The last year or so I've been taking it very easy, spending most of my time with my girl. I've been working maybe 3-5 hours a week at best, but took October till March off (nice, I know). None the less, I have been wanting to buy a new house with my girl, which obviously costs money. So I've been quite motivated to work on some new projects and stuff. After all, pretty much since 1998 I've only been involved in 3 different projects, and ... (post trimmed)

So about about 2-2 1/2 years ago or so I swapped from Charter Cable to AT&T/Yahoo DSL. I had used Charter for around 5 years and it always had reliability problems. At times it would go out every day, multiple times, and always at the worst times. Sometimes it would go out for weeks (notice I said sometimes not once in a while or rarely ). Now, don't get me wrong, when it was stable it ... (post trimmed)

Sometimes it seems that the world is against me when I try to play Call of Duty World at War online. It's not that the game isn't good or anything there's just some issues I have with the game and the Playstation 3 Online in general. First, PS3 online is free which is awesome, but it seems that this means players host the servers for games vs a real server (ie on the pc). There's so many times I try to play a game online and get "Game Lobby Closed", or better ye... (post trimmed)

Yeah, so, don't mind any of the broken links or blank pages. I put it online a bit earlier than I might normally make a website live but I had to get rid of WordPress and get this up before I hurled at the old site. Here is my probable order of completion for the site parts: 1) The top button link pages 2) User system (signup/lost pass/maybe small profile) 3) The blog (browse cats, posts, comment on them) 4) Photo Gallery Essentially I'm trying to say be patient. It's u... (post trimmed)

It took a while but I've finally been motivated to delete WordPress, which bothered me so much, and write my own site and give it some good ol TLC. So I decided one of the most obvious things to do was to create a blog and to do that I needed to create the very form I'm writing in right now so I can, hopefully, get some people to read it, or something. At the moment, the site is still in development. It has been moving along pretty fast and hopefully within the next week or two ... (post trimmed)
