Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
After the Ducks got beaten up by Boise State last night, Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount decided to sucker punch a Boise State player. While Blount apologized, it doesn’t matter — Blount is a punk, always has been, and new coach Chip Kelly needs to send a message that this kind of crap won’t be tolerated. Kick the guy off the team.
Update: He’s done. Good.
In today’s Time Killer(s), you can play the old school Excitebike online, or you can play Cyclomaniacs, which is a great side-scroller bike race game that reminds me a lot of that classic.
I’m finally getting around to moving this site up to Movable Type 4. I’ve been sitting on a Movable Type 3 install for a couple years, and there’s a lot of great plugins and features in Movable Type 4 that I’d like to incorporate on this site and its templates. But I can’t do anything until I get that base code in place.
I have a lot off code-level hacks done to my MT 3 install that I’ll need to make sure aren’t going to break when I upgrade. Hopefully it won’t. Unlike Jeff, I don’t have Anil helping me out — I’m going to try to wing it myself (but if you’re reading this, Anil, you’ve seen me on ProNet — I might need your help if I break something).
So tonight I’m hoping to upgrade to MT 4. If this site goes wonky and commenting doesn’t work, you’ll know why (but since MT is awesome and builds static pages, the pages will still be available). I’ll update this post accordingly when things work again.
Update at 10PM: Just in time for Top Chef, it appears the upgrade has gone through OK. Feel little oddball issues here and there, but it appears I’ve fixed 99% of them. If you notice anything weird, comment below or email utterlyboring [at] gmail [dot] com.
I missed this article when it first came out, but here’s a great comparison between the two, what works, what doesn’t as well as the differences and similarities between the UIs.
Well folks have always said men can’t multitask, the truth is, neither can women, and really, nobody should.
After 26 years, Reading Rainbow is off the air. I grew up watching and loving the show that LaVar Burton created and hosted all these years. On LeVar’s Twitter account, he asked people to share their favorite episodes, and people came out. LaVar thanked folks the best way he could:
Thanks to all who shared their favorite episode of RR today! When one door closes. another opens..But you don’t have to take MY word for it!
Where’s Waldo? Find the drunken fool and take him out.
