Why Can’t We Get Past Race and Gender
We all pretend to be politically correct. We’re not. We all pretend to have blinders to race and religion. We don’t. All I here on the radio and the news is the fact of what minority group is voting this way. What majority group is voting that way. Really i hate demographics of any kind since it just shows how we must have ways to separate people into divisions. We have democrats who never dare say they are anti-abortion - this would disenfranchise too many of their core constituents. We can’t have Republicans say that they are pro-choice - the complaints from the bible belt would be heard by aborigines in the Australian outback...... Read More
My Great Internet Data Clean-Up
You know how every once in awhile you need to just sit back and look at all of you that’s out there on the Internet. Granted I’m definitely the wrong person to be discussing or pondering about how much of you exists on the wide open Internet. I use a ton of sites, well a few tons if you count all the hardware to run all the sites I do use. What I am running into is site fatigue. I sign up for every new and shiny service and play with it for a week to. If I can’t figure out how to synchronize it with my blog in some fashion, RSS or other, or if it doesn’t provide a function I can get else where that site just succumbs to digital rot...... Read More
The GFQ5 Story About Creeva
To give the history on this - GF stood for Groovefest - this was an in game festival run by a play named Keltrien in the video game Star Wars Galaxies (SWG). The festival was on it’s fifth iteration and in celebration their was going to be this elaborate quest written by a player named Niix. I was featured as part of this and somewhere out there is a video with my avatar in it. This story was written by Niix as being in the quest creator. This is the part that did feature me or rather my character Creeva. If Niix has any issue with this please let me know and I am not taking credit nor robbing hte original creator of any copyright he owns over this work...... Read More
Virtualizing Your Training Environment For Quick Restoration With VMware
This was a persuasion piece I wrote for work on how to quicker deployments and restores in the training lab. It seems we had employees several times a week had hours of their time taken up by reloading PC’s in the training rooms or in the testing labs. I wrote up this piece which is unfortunately light on detail (if you have questions post them here I’ll answer) for management to look at what we could do to script this solution out. Because of work security requirements I did make some modification to the information listed here, I kept the changes to a minimum though. I actually will be doing a follow up ot this article which will contain the reload scripts and technical nitty gritty. My idea has been at least going so far as to be tested (I have VMware workstation on my work PC now). ..... Read More
Feedwordpress - De-Duplication Possible?
I had my hopes up up that feedwordpress had updated their plugin to handle duplicate posts. At one point a couple months ago I thought feedwordpress was going to be my life caching savior. The goal of feedwordpress is to pull in RSS feed items immediately and post them into your wordpress blog. After a couple weeks of testing it I saw massive duplication from RSS feed items. It took me hours to clean up duplicate posts and I’m sure all my twitters just loved being spammed to high heaven...... Read More
