Google Adsense Summary 1.0.3

April 21st, 2010

Fixed a few bugs and changed a temp file location. Updating is highly recommend. The prior versions were making a ton of temp files in your temp directory that weren’t getting deleted out. Please search your web hosting server for files that begin like “adsense_” and delete them all.

Temp files are now created in the google adsense summary plugin directory for easier troubleshooting should the event arise that we might not want to delete the cookie so we can troubleshoot the problem at hand.

Dislocated my shoulder during free-fall today.

April 10th, 2010

Myself, Brandon, Carrie and another guy who’s name I can’t remember went to do a four way star today. When we left the plan we were a bit unstable, it wasn’t too bad and it felt like we were going to correct it. I was trying to help by pushing Carrie away from me so she could get more belly down but she ended up whipping in the opposite direction. Because I was holding her grippers extra tight trying to push her away, when she twisted it dislocated my right shoulder instantly.

At this point I was pretty much in a lot of pain. I tried to pull my main but I couldn’t get my arm to grab the hacky so I pulled my reserve around 7k-6k feet. Under canopy now, I really had to push away the pain so I could steer towards the landing zone.

3 out 4 beer batches were still good!

April 8th, 2010

So last October 20th I brewed 4 5Gal beer batches in a row. I really didn’t even finish in the same day. Anyways, I got busier and busier with work and kept putting it off to keg them. It then go really cold and I didn’t want to freeze outside while trying to clean kegs and figured that it’d be cold enough that it would suspend the yeast so that the beer wouldn’t get ruined over the winter. Well, today a friend of mine and myself kegged all four batches. We tasted them all too.

Pilsner, Hefe, and the IPA were all great. Flat, but still good. They tasted how they should without carbination and didn’t give off any funny flavors. The stout on the other hand was.. well.. rancid. It first smelled like rotten millk, to me at least my friend didn’t smell it like that. We each took a mouth full, swished it around and swallowed.

XKCD Rules!

April 6th, 2010

One of the email lists I am apart of started bitching about how XKCD sucks. Two predominate people stood out, one against XKCD and the other Pro XKCD. It was such a worthless argument, almost as worthless as this post. I did spend some time making fun of them though using a XKCD comic!

Enjoy! Referenced Comic

Songbird drops Linux support. Did they just lose all their helpful user base?

April 3rd, 2010

Yesterday the Songbird Dev’s announced that they will no longer be developing Songbird for Linux. Not being heavy on music being played from my dusty iPod, I’ve never really explored Songbird much. I did know that it was very popular as the go to software as an iTunes replacement in the Linux world. You can also tell that from most of the comments in their blog posting most others felt the same way.

I think we’re all wondering, “Why did they stop developing for Linux but Kept Mac support?”. Why continue to develop a iTunes replacement on the two operating systems that run iTunes natively?

My guess is that if you are going to buy a Mac, you’re going to use iTunes and nothing else. You just spent a couple extra thousand more for that Genius bar support, so why would you throw that way for Songbird? Granted this doesn’t apply to all, but I would guess most.

Windows, windows, windows.

HTML5 + Quake2 = AWESOME!

April 2nd, 2010

HTML5 is still a work in progress and some browsers can’t do what others can at the moment. List for geeks: Comparison_of_layout_engines: HTML5. An example for the not so geeky: Chrome and Safari allows HTML5 video streaming on Youtube while Firefox does not. While this will all change in good time, a great show of HTML5′s potential has been shown. A port of a classic game, Quake II, has been made available to play via your web browser! Freaking awesome!!

It’s all still very beta. Depending on which browser you try(ATM only Chrome and Safari) and it’s version you may experience slow FPS, no sound and screen flickering.

To help minimize fail, before you start to follow the instructions on installing quake2-gwt-port make sure you have the following installed before hand.

vorbis-tools
lame
jdk

Installing JKD before trying to run “./build-dedicated-server” is important. I thought I had it still installed on my system, and when that failed to build I went, “DUH” and installed it.

Apache+suEXEC+FastCGI+PHP-FPM+APC - Part 2

April 1st, 2010

Click here: PART 1, if you’ve came to this directly from a Google search or you need to compile the FastASS-CGI combo.

Alright, you should have a working FastASS-CGI Configuration! Yes, I’ve dubbed it FastASS-CGI (Fast, Apache, suexec, suhosin, Fastcgi+PHP-FPM and APC) Those last three all go to gether which is why I just dubbed it CGI at the end. If you have a problem with it, well… fsck you. :P Hahahaha, joking aside lets get into the deep and dirty portion of this configuration.

This whole part looks relatively easy but took me the longest of all to figure out. I plan on explaining how exactly everything works in detail, so for those that already know or those just looking for the answer, sorry you’re going to have to push through this and deal with it.
