How Not To Ride an ATV : December 28, 2004 : Note 3

My sister’s boyfriend is letting us borrow his Sportrax Honda 400EX since we have family over until after New Year’s.  He’s wanting me to buy it from him since he’s also making payments on his crotch rocket and truck.  He can’t keep up with all of them. …

Merry Christmas! : December 25, 2004 : Note 0

We had a lot of gifts under the tree this year since my sister and her family joined us for Christmas.  I had a horrible Christmas Eve though.  I don’t know what it was, but something I ate disagreed with me and…

The First Snow of the Season : December 22, 2004 : Note 0

I woke up this morning to discover that the season’s first snow had decided to show up.  It’s been snowing non-stop since.  Sometimes it’s the pretty, heavy snowfall.  Other times it’s the nasty mixed sleet/snowfall.  I’m not sure, but I’ve heard that it should be like this through Christmas. It’s…

One Bad Mower! : December 17, 2004 : Note 9

I recently found an excellent little (and free) utility to make backups of my home directory.  It’s called iPodBackup. It’s the combination of a custom shell script and a simple GUI interface.  It references a set of rules to know what to backup and what to leave alone. …

World of Warcraft Gallery : December 14, 2004 : Note 0

I decided I’d start a World of Warcraft Screenshot Gallery since I’ve taken so many screenshots from the game.  It seems like there’s a great screenshot just about anywhere in the game.  Plus this gives me an opportunity to try out the new ExpressionEngine…

The Great Playlist Meme of ‘04 : December 09, 2004 : Note 10

Robert at bump.net posted about this, so I figured I’d post mine. The instructions go like this: Open up the music player on your computer. Set it to play your entire music collection. Hit the “shuffle” command. Tell us the title of the next ten songs that…

World of Warcraft : December 05, 2004 : Note 7

I broke down and decided to buy World of Warcraft on Friday night.  I had seen the excellent reviews from many different sites.  I’d read what some others who have played the game for a while had to say about it.  I hadn’t read hardly anything…

ExpressionEngine Template Contest : December 01, 2004 : Note 0

The ExpressionEngine Template Contest is now open for voting.  Only registered pMachine members can vote. Submissions are broken into two categories: Blog and Pro.  You’re only allowed one vote per category. It took me all of one minute to find which one I liked best in…
