Chuck Norris Rewrites Drupal 4.6 Installation Instructions

Posted on March 27, 2006 by Gabriel

Chuck Norris Rewrites Drupal 4.6 Installation InstructionsOk I'm still obsessed with Chucknorrisfacts.com, (and with such quips as "Chuck Norris can divide by zero", how can one not be?), but I've also got a life, and in this life I do websites, amongst other nefarious schemes to rule the world.

As such, I've recently come to encounter Drupal, which, in a sentence, is an open source content management system, and "can support a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites". Continue reading →

Chuck Norris Uncovers SDRAM Conspiracy

Posted on March 24, 2006 by Gabriel

Chuck Norris Uncovers SDRAM ConspiracyOne of the key elements of a conspiracy theory is that since it's so far out you automatically consider it unlikely and laugh at yourself for even thinking it. You feel somewhat embarrassed for even conjuring it, even less will you discuss it openly.

But hell, as far as I can remember, I've always wondered aloud if manufacturers were keeping RAM prices so expensive. Continue reading →

Come One Come All To 1984

Posted on March 19, 2006 by Gabriel

come one come all to 1984The title is a phrase from Incubus' Talkshows on Mute, then there is of course Orsen Wells' 1984, the first Terminator story was set in 1984, and on May of that year, Australia released it's first one dollar coin, a factoid I insidiously placed there purely to round out this paragraph, which of course is quite irrelevant and uninteresting, except of course to Australians.

At any rate I'm bringing your attention to 1984 because I'm about to talk about my car, which was first sold to its original owner in 1984, and is an otherwise uninteresting car if not for that fact.

At this point you might well discern that this post is about my car, and not about my usual subjects, such as tech reviews, writing and even basketball, and you will be correct. So those uninterested in said subject may well excuse themselves at this point. Continue reading →

Nobody wants to read my basketball posts so..

Posted on March 10, 2006 by Gabriel

dsc-w50Quick post. Happy to note my article about the Sony DSC-R1 SLR was well received, and by 'well received' I mean 'noted', 'discussed' and 'critiqued', which may or may not also mean that I was told I was wrong.

Let me put it this way. Imo, if someone takes time to tell you 'dude, check out the Canon so and so model, better daw than the Sony', I consider that 'well-received', because 1. they read it, and 2. they formed an opinion based on it.
Agreeing with what I said is beside the point really. The point is to make people lend an interested ear. Continue reading →

Isiah doesn’t want me to come to new york

Posted on March 1, 2006 by Gabriel

Isiah doesn't want me to come to new yorkI have a theory about Isiah Thomas. He is, I think, possibly the most intensely competitive athlete ever in professional sports. So intense in fact, that way beyond his salad days with the Detroit Pistons, he's still determined to see his chief rivals lose in the NBA. I mean, how else do you explain what he's doing to my beloved New York Knicks?
