Lockergnome.net
You can use Typepad, Blogger, LiveJournal, or any kind of service your blogging heart desires. After years of lying dormant, we're finally doing sometihng with one of our domain names. If you'd like to be a part of Lockergnome.net, we're accepting registrations as of today. The system is running on Blogware, and Daze.net is handling [...]
Twice the Price
I noticed a small flood of Gnomedex registrations over the past couple of days, and I figured I was missing something. That seems to be the case, as we are moving the price up from $99 to $199 on April 15th (Tax Day)! It'll be $249 at the door, FWIW. If you're hungry for more [...]
Lockergnome.net Launches!
I can't believe we're finally doing our own blogs. Well, kinda.
Wrong Ass
It's 'badonkadonk,' not 'gadunkadunk.'
Lead Electric Triangle
I can't believe I just discovered the live music section of the Internet Archive today. Through their feed, I was notified of a new Glen Phillips recording. Boom! Live concerts are mere megabytes away from my media player. Even satellite radio can't touch this kind of convenience.
Debuggery
I've been helping da man debug code for the past couple of days. We're getting closer to rolling out a sitewide overhaul. With any luck, new Gnomedex information will be posted before next Monday, too. Pre-registration will most likely be going up at some point in April, so you might care to decide soon. Plenty [...]
I don’t care how you
I don’t care how you read my content; I just want you to read my content. If you want to read on the web, fine. If you want to read it through email, fine. If you want to read it through RSS, fine. It doesn't matter! I'm not here to sell a delivery vehicle; I'm [...]
Sneezing and Wheezing
The oogies were creeping into my body last night, but I seemed to have staved off the attack successfully with a non-drug I can barely pronounce. Veronica told me about Oscillococcinum a few months ago, but I didn't have the opportunity to use it. My sweetheart got the sicky-poos before I did (thanks to Mr. [...]
Boo-yah! I'm going to keep
Boo-yah! I'm going to keep nagging Jason until he applies this weekend's test code site-wide. No legacy tags, beyotch! Oh, and… “This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!” I'm not sure if I wanna play with a fixed-width or stick with the variable. Doesn't look great on anything less than 1024×768, but those folks are [...]
RIP: Lockergnome's Ugly Baby
Ready for a re-redesign? I am. A long time ago (in a galaxy quite close to ours), Stephen and I were working on a very basic shell for Lockergnome. I took that code and started tweaking it this morning. The elements are falling into place, but it's far from clean. Meryl's helping me tweak it [...]
Hate-pertext Markup Language
There are quite a few conspiracy theories flying around the Net regarding Lockergnome's most recent “White Album” redesign. Blogger reaction? Overwhelmingly negative. Gnomie reaction? Overwhelmingly positive. Bottom line? We're still working on it – as well as a billion other things. I'm not asking for slack, but jumping Jesus on a pogo stick – there [...]
Bad Habits, Good Hardware
I'm a little embarrased to admit it, but… I've been rasterbating for the past twenty-four hours. Perhaps it's the Freeze Pops talking, but I think I'm addicted. Doing so has definitely given me black balls. All seriousness aside, I'm pretty darn happy with my Samsung i700. I should've upgraded a year ago when it first [...]
Crusty Chris (27b)
I completed the entire set – sans Bonus pack card(s) like Paintball Paul – without opening a single pack. I stumbled upon this auction the other day and was the only bidder. The guy gets a thumbs up from me. $50 spent on a complete (non-bonused) set and NO duplicates. That has to be a [...]
Switching. Again.
I'm dropping Palm and going back to the Pocket PC. I miss it too much. Before I place my excellent-condition Sony Clue UX50 with a 256MB Lexar Memory Stick on eBay (and all the nifty PC software I picked up along the way), anybody care to send me a serious offer or two?
