Wow it’s been a long time since I last posted anything. I’m still breathing, just been a little busy lately. I hope to be posting regularly soon. I’m also wondering if this site couldn’t use an overhaul. Who knows, we’ll see. In the meanwhile,

Things that rock:

Steve Irwin

Rest in peace mate.

WAMP Server

Install PHP 5, Apache 2 and MySQL 5 on your WinXP (Home!) box

Akismet

Stop comment spam and trackback spam.

YUI

Some of the best conceived front-end code I’ve come across in a long time.

FireBug

Indespensable tool for any serious front-end developer/designer

Untitled

Sweet original music for Noah Kalina’s “everyday“.

Dream Projections JavaScript syntax highlighter

Best syntax highlighter I’ve seen thus far.

JSDoc

Document your code! Use JSDoc to do it.

Mac vs. PC (Gaming)

Switch!

Eternal life

Things that suck:

The clicking in my throat

Who knows what the heck it is, dislocated trachea? All I know is, it clicks and it’s a royal pain in the neck. (sigh, I couldn’t help it.) Doctor says it’s bone rubbing on bone. That doesn’t seem too normal to me. *shrug*

YouTube tech support.

I don’t know what the heck’s going on over there. I asked them a simple question and in return I received the same copy/paste response of their FAQ page without a shred of personalization or even a signature. I received the same exact response regardless of what I said or asked. Either they don’t have any tech support and there’s just a batch script that tries to send you relevant information on your question, or there are some pretty incompetent tech support folks at YouTube.

Mortality
