We’re looking to move our business address and CenturyLink can’t let us keep our existing number. Naturally, we’re still in the service area, so we can get a new number. If we’d rather port our number to another service — can’t image why we’d want to keep the number we’ve had for years that all [...]
Seriously, what a silly diary. And now back to the point of this rant: this is why I quit caring about Dkos. All the fucking emo “OMG he’s not doing it the why I want.” Well get yourself and 199 other progressive congresscritters elected and we can talk about that. Until then Obama is the [...]
Playing through the OC again with a cleric build. Tweaked it some as the OC maxes around level 16 or level 17. Decided on 14 STR, 10 DEX, 12 CON, 14 INT, 16 WIZ, 10 CHAR. Naturally a cleric build customized for casting is heavy on the WIZ. The purpose of 14 INT is the [...]
Finally upgrading to the latest juicer, I found my prior hack no longer worked. I decided to revisit my solution and replace it with something more effective. While I still overrode a method, I dispatched the temporary file I was using previously. Ultimately this ought to be Rack middleware. Perhaps next time. class JuicerController < [...]
It runs under GNU/Linux, so it must be pretty awesome. On my third time though Hordes of the Underdark, again as a cleric. That must be the most overpowered class in nwn. Based my third pass loosely on a cleric arcane archer build, but without the archer part. Keeping in mind HotU only takes you [...]
While I’ve never been one to write top n things posts, there are three PDF tools I use routinely that are pretty awesome. The most generally applicable is PDF Creator, which lets you print to PDF on any Windows system. It uses the magic of Open Source ™ internally, essentially ghostscript, to make it happen. [...]
Leary disseminates the usual blather. “Many experts” agree with the need to raise the retirement age and reduce benefits. Only one “expert” is quoted, a conservative hack from the American Enterprise Institute, Andrew Biggs. Clearly, Leary is lazy. Many Social Security experts agree that raising the retirement age is one of the solutions that must [...]
ExtJS’ implementation of a combo box, ComboBox, is one of the more complicated components provided in all of ExtJS. It glues together TriggerField and DataView to allow for quite a few different uses. If you’re using both a nameField and a valueField, upon setValue a call is placed to findRecord to determine if there’s a [...]
The just released Silent Hunter 5 — the long anticipated sequel to the buggy and disfunctional SH4 and SH3 titles — ships with a truly nasty copy protection sheme. Apparently, continuous authentication is required or the game disables itself, even during play. UBIsoft servers are already experiencing outages, preventing a game owner from playing his [...]
The list management itself is entirely broken. Addresses can be added both under List properties and in the address book itself, but the two are not in sync. Addresses that appear in List properties are authoritative; those in the address book itself are not. There appears to be no relationship between the two or any [...]
