kitty pics

I manged to snap the picture below after cleaning out raplhie's cage. His tubes and wheel were still wet so he was all alone in there. No worries though Nibbler and Gizmo wanted to make sure he wasn't lonely :)

Then the next day I ran across this pic:

And I just thought this one was cute:

hurt so bad

Generally, I try to avoid get self righteous about my mom's death, but sometimes I just can't help but get offended.
Some asshole posted a list of reasons why you neglect your mother, and for some reason it just struck a nerve in me. It's not that I believe I am above reproach, or better than everyone else. I think it's more because I do feel like I didn't do enough for her. I mean I have enough problems dealing with my guilt, and I don't need some anonymous person online telling me I was never good to her. I put a copy of it down below, if you click on "read more" you'll see what I'm talking about. Basically I told the guy he could shove it up his ass. - Want to see dennisjudd.com get attacked my mars? How about nuke's?
- Credit card theft with a happy ending is a rare thing indeed.
- I am a Japanese school teacher. Very interesting read!
- Zip decode. Enter a zipcode and it will narrow down the location after each number you typed. Very interesting.
- Caught on camera: Truck veers out of control. Nobody killed, thats the amazing part.
- Batterylife Activator. Basically it's a sticker you put on a battery that's supposed to make it work longer, better, and faster. It generates the same results if you put it on your naughty bits as well.....which is nothing. About as useful as those bullshit radiation absorbing cell phone stickers.

San Andreas Radio

Done with GTA: SA? Think there's nothing left to do after getting 100%? Find killing hookers and blowing the heads off people with a shotgun passe? San Andreas Radio is your answer. "This program allows you to create your own CD playlists from songs, commercials, station idents, and small audio clips of DJ chatter. You can create a playlist as if it were taken from the game, including randomized songs, chatter, commercials etc. Or you can create your own customized playlists, for instance party mix CDs of songs from various radio stations." Seriously...it's pretty cool :)

don't think twice

So I beat Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas last night, but the weirdest thing was a strange bug I tripped across. Apparently if you turn off the radio in the car when driving to Smoke's Crack Palace when the game goes to the cut scene to start the mission it just hangs there....nothing but black. So, no big deal, I restart and play through, then comes the part where sweet grabs onto the firetruck (fuckin' moron...thanks sweet that's really f'ing helpful, stupid mother....) and while chasing it I turned off the radio and guess what...next cutscene (which was...the end of the freakin' game) it just sit's there and hangs again..... Today I present you with a link to a movie:
Generally speaking, when you say the following "I have to go to the fucking hospital. There are fucking scissors, sticking out of my fucking arm" good things are not happening. I hate to say it, but I've watched it like 10 times and it still makes me laugh. Lesson learned, don't mess with fatty!

Picked up one of these adapters at Radioshack today for $11 bucks. Awesome solution for nintendo emulation on the PC! Seriously, don't go out and buy another controller for more when the console one's are built so well. I bought one at walmart and it was for crap.....if only I had known then what I know now. I can't believe I played FFVII on the PC using some POS when I could have used a real playstation controller all along...ARGHHHH!!! (grrr.....)

How to make a Black and Tan

also seen on our beer review website... This is a quick and dirty poor man's guide to making a black and tan using Guinness and Bass Pale Ale. There are of course official ways to do it, that include this fine pouring spoon from Guinness themselves. While I'm sure it works brilliantly, a normal household spoon or equivilent will do just as well. So basically you just gather everything together shown below:
First open the Bass (or whatever...you can use just about anything including Harp). Simply open the bottle and fill your beer glass to the 1/2 point (generally this uses 3/4 of the bottle....good excuse to polish it off).

Now this is where the only trick is at. All you do is hold the spoon upside down and pour over the curved back of it. If you click on the picture below you'll actually see an animted gif of what this looks like:

As the gif shows make sure you use caution as the pouring of Guinness attracts natural preditors :)
Just remember to take your time when pouring, don't go to fast, and you'll end up having your self one impressive looking drink.

I love everyone...except you, you I hate.

Yesterday was a long day, but something pretty cool happened. I picked up a bomber of 3 Floyd's Dreadnaught IPA at Binny's. That stuff is the #1 rated beer on ratebeer.com in IL, and I've been looking for it for a while. Expensive as all hell but I figured I was worth it just for once. Weird thing, my linksys AP stopped responding to the web GUI interface, so I reset it and upgraded to 2.08 from 2.07 and now the diag light is on solid red all the time....weird. Still works, and I"m waiting from a response from Linksys tech support still. I thought this pic was funny....nick i'm sure you'll appreciate that yours was the post that made it all possible:

Welcome Fark viewers. The Ass Penny skit can be found here. Please make sure to wash your hands after viewing. Links:
- When being pulled by a car, on a skateboard, it's important to grasp the concept of when to let go.
- Very interesting article on tracking botnets using honeypots. Computer geeky stuff that most of you won't care about....but very fascinating actually.
- Poor gas station owners are being forced to buy more #2's for their signs. If there was only something we could do to help...poor little guys just can't buy them fast enough.
- Apple suing 19 year old journalist for writing about their upcoming products. The real kick comes in the fact that a Judge ruled that online blogging is not considered journalism and is not protected by free speech shield laws that allow confidentiality of sources.
- Do not install a remote start on a stickshift. I've installed a few of these things in the past on automatics...didn't even think anyone would try to install one on a manual...
- Want to use your original NES or SNES controller on your PC emulator? There are kit's here to do exactly that via USB. Pretty cool actually, and the results seem to be much more concrete that using the printer port (which I've tried...and couldn't get working).

discounts are good

There is an amazing lego movie out about Batman:

Batman: New Times The coolest thing is it has Adam West as the voice of batman once again. Pretty cool actually, since we all know he's man who loves his taffy :) That reminds me, there's a Lego based Star Wars game coming out that looks really fun to play. Considering how horrible the recent films have been I haven't been able to stomache them, so this might be a good way to get exposure to the plot without vomiting on the guy in front of me. Two links here submitted by Stacey. Gizzoogle....which is a search engine that returns your results in snoop-anise, and Sick of Smoking...which is like a retarded great white north rip off, eh. Finally, here we have two permission slips from Jen:
Boy's night out permission slip
Girl's night out permission slip
Jen has promised me that as long as I fill mine out faithfully, she will fill her's out as well.

How to make your website display what your listening to in winamp

Ok, so yesterday I got a bug up my ass to see if I could make winamp display what I'm listening to on my website. My search to do this led me to a post in the winamp support forum by Elissaios who figured it out for his anime music station. After following his directions and getting the dosomething plugin to automatically update a file on my server every time the song changed with the ID3 information I set about figuring out how I could pull it into my site. SSI's aren't supported, and using MT's template to link to the file would only update every time I recompiled the database. So thankfully I was already using php, so I used a php include statement originally that GeekNJ found for me in the MT support forum:
<?php require("yourfile.txt"); ?>
But the problem with that (and the MT plugin idea) was that it didn't allow for formatting. I mean sure I could link the style sheet (css) but that doesn't do a lot of good if it's all dumped out on one line in a row. It looked bad...like this: Single Music Instructor Supersonic That wouldn't do. So thankfully Elissaios had answered my email asking how he got his formatting so nice and sent me the following code:
<?
$get = array(); // Specify the text file in the server eg: "np.inc"
$pointer = fopen ("np.inc", "r");
while (!feof ($pointer)) {
$record = fgets($pointer, 4096);
array_push($get,$record);
} // Assign lines from the TEXT file to variables for later use // The first line always starts from 0.
$txt_line_1 = $get[0];
$txt_line_2 = $get[1];
$txt_line_3 = $get[2]; // Here lets output the lines from the TEXT file
// Output the first line, eg the Artist
$txt_line_1; // Output the first line, eg the Title
$txt_line_2; // Output the first line, eg the Album
$txt_line_3;
?>
Following his directions I threw it in a *.php file on my server, and then pasted this code into my MT index template:
<div class="sidetitle">
Listening to:
</div>
<? include("playlist.php"); ?>
<font color="CC9933">Album:</font> <? echo $txt_line_1; ?><br>
<font color="CC9933">Artist:</font> <? echo $txt_line_2; ?><br>
<font color="CC9933">Song:</font> <? echo $txt_line_3; ?><br>
And as you can see the right, that's all there is to it. When winamp is off it usually says "broadcast stopped!". Next I plan on having something automaticallyy update every time I flush my toilet ;)

I don' t know anybody in canada...

I hate it when we run out of milk and I have to drink my coffee black :( I've been going over my logs lately of who visits the site. Sometimes it's the only thing that makes me keep this stupid thing open. I mean...I don't make any money off this site, and it's a huge pain the in ass to update with new content....bah! Anyways, it always blows my mind to see where people visit from....Kuwait? Phillipines? Canada...wtf? I don't know anyone in Canada.... I find it funny that my boring life is interesting to others. Then again hell they made a show called friends....right? Speaking of meaningless things for my website. I added a Listening section. See quite often when I'm working from home I listen to music as I work, so I added a listening to sections that is automatically updated via a winamp plugin called "dosomething" Props to the original poster here:

hungry man meals are bad for you :(

But they taste so damn good....to bad they're mostly evil. Every now and then I allow myself to consume a Boneless Chicken dinner. The sad thing is that I enjoy it so much, but I know it's so made up of crap that would probably make me puke if I knew what was in it. Kinda like hot dogs...ya know. The kicker is that every time I eat one, I get sick the next day because my body just isn't ready for that much grease and fat. I guess Jen really does spoil me with healthy food. So I was able to get to the eye doc's yesterday, and my insurance doesn't cover new frames for another 6 months for me :( :(
So instead of paying $300 bucks for new frames, I'm having my old ones redone and I'll just wear them until november then I can get newer lighter frames that won't fall off my fat head when I bend over :( After talking to the employees and even the owner I've decided against getting transistion lenses (ones that turn dark in the sun...so you don't need sunglasses). Apparently, they suck in general but more specifically they react to UV light ....and guess what most windows are (especially car ones)...that's right UV shielded. So really, they wouldn't work when i need them most. So hopefully my new lenses come in this week so I can stop wearing this old prescription. Well, i'm not so blind that I can't put up some links at least: - Legend of Zelda for the Phillips CD-I platform. Oh my god...it's soooooooo bad :0 It kind of reminds me of the original Heavy Metal type animation...but on crack...and drawn by retarded monkeys.
- Durex condoms put to the ultimate test by the owner of the company. If your a guy, cross your legs now.
- The Cutie Bunch Friendly Pal Pack.
- Gene Kelly sings "Popping in the rain". Pretty cool stuff actually. If your interested in it more, here's a website with some more background info on the commercial.

son of a b****

I broke my glasses last night :( i was just cleaning them like normal, and the metal just completly fatigued and bent like a cheap paper clip. The eye doctor won't be able to see me until Monday, and even then it will take days to get new ones..... dammit....this sucks. oh well at least i was meaning to get them checked up, and it's a good excuse for new frames. maybe i'll get some of those cool ones that automatically turn to sunglasses when they hit UV rays.

You scored 80% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 87% Advanced, and 77% Expert! On an unrelated note: I was taking a this morning and finally remembered where I've seen the guy from Medium from before. His name is Jake Weber and he was in Night of the Living Dead. Weird how most revelations come to you while in a bathroom isn't it? That being said, I have to say both Jen and I have really enjoyed the show so far. The pre reviews weren't all that great, but it's really working for us. Speaking of working, we bought a weight bench recently so we can start working out again at home. I also hope to get my punching bag hung up sometime soon after we assemble the damn thing.
I mean it's crazy how small the box was that it came in. I mean the think is not huge but sizeable:

The funny thing is how heavy it is. i mean you expect it to be heavy, but damn....who thought 106lbs would be so heavy. At least the weight set came seperatly in different boxes...remind me never to kill somebody without help cause I don't think i could move the body. I need a minion....

- Time for the yearly rush to get their hands in our pockets. Calif considers a state milage tax. Cause I'm sure a GPS for every car would be cheap and all...
- Awesome site for remix video game soundtracks. As a matter of fact I'm listening to the stream right now.

damn you GTA

Ugh....I just finished like the hardest mission in GTA:SA so far, Zero's Supply Lines...mission. That freakin red baron little plan handled like crap, and then they give you like the same amount of fuel you could fit in a thimble. :( :( :( Took like 20 tries...so much so I could here the reverb of the engine's little high pitched whine in my head after I stopped playing! It's always the same, kill the first 3, then burn all your fuel trying to get the other two, and lord knows it's not the game spawns them in the same spot. I swear there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's like the space time continuum has explosive diarrhea. Anyways I found an FAQ that gave me to real good tips, here ya go: Alternate Strategy by Deadly Samurai: The way I beat this mission with fuel to spare is to take off, cut left, and just shoot the van until the driver gets out. Don't kill him yet! Next, go left again to shoot the biker to make him get off the bike. Don't kill him either! Both of these guys will chase after you, so go west now and blow up the van. I find getting right up in front of him works best. Now wait. You do not burn fuel while idle, so position the plane on the street accordingly and just wait. The first two guys will come after you, and shoot them down as they appear on the street. You should still have a 95% full fuel tank at this point simply by being patient. This should be more than enough to go north after the last two guys and get back to Zero's roof. I got back with about a quarter tank of fuel left. You still need to position yourself correctly to kill the last two guys, but if you follow this strategy the pressure is off, and you won't be as frustrated even if you fail because one of the couriers kills you because this strategy is nearly foolproof.
