Hillary is taking things gracefully…sort of
It appears as if Hillary Clinton has taken her loss (yes, it's a loss) like a champ...or so she says...
Yeah, whateva's. Loser.

Hyundai Tiburon O2 sensor, problems at 28,000 miles
Last Thursday, May 22nd, I was on my way to work when my check engine light (CEL) came on. Now, being that this is a fairly new car (at least by my family's standards) I was immediately worried.
I turned the stereo off, rolled down the windows, and drove like a granny until I rolled into work. My first thought was the gas cap, as I had just filled up. Nope, on tight.
So, I left early to head over to AutoZone. They are able to plug in their OBD-II scanner and read what codes my car's ECU was throwing.
P0130: O2 sensor, Bank 1 -- whatever the hell that meant. So, I'm thinking, is the sensor itself bad, or is it simply reading out of bounds of its settings?
Off to the dealership we go, yay 60K bumper-to-bumper warranty!

Autozone employees give great customer service
I had a headlight go out on my way to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure yesterday. Dang, I hate driving with a headlight out, it looks so trashy.
So, today I figured I would pick up a new one. I decided on the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's, and I got a twin pack. Figured it's just as well to replace both at the same time, right?

Earthquake in the Midwest, and people acting silly
Apparently, there was a bit of an earthquake last night in the midwest. Turns out it's not too far from where I live: Indianapolis, IN. And people are acting a bit silly, I think.Nausea induced by exams in school
After taking a recent calculus exam, I had a feeling of nausea. Which was strange, seeing as how I did actually get sick at home before I left for class.

Downloadable flyers complete
Okay, the downloadable documents are complete. I decided to offer them both in MS Word format and PDF format. I don’t figure there are too many people who wouldn’t have access to either one. Now to the form updates.
Initial tasks at hand
So, the client has a finite number of tasks they wish to be performed. Okay, well here we go, this time for real…
24 hours of code, where do we start?
Okay, so here are the current client requirements....
24 hours of code, let’s go!
Today I'm starting a complete rewrite of a previous site. It's a great charity, so much of this is completely free; however, the site was created long ago, and needs a thorough refactoring of code.Monday, February 04, 2008
Adobe abandons Stock Photos
Well, we may have seen this one coming, but here it is: Adobe is abandoning its Stock Photo service. Well, this actually makes sense, at least to me, because the photos were quite pricey.

Mac developers: your automation and convenience is killing me
Hey, don't get me wrong here. I'm all about automating repetitive tasks. That said, there are a few things that I don't want automated. For example, software updates, to name just one thorn in my side.
I got a little note via Pownce from Leo Laporte a few minutes ago. It read:
Why did I say "email me???" I should have just said, "download Merlin's Mannerisms," instead. Sheesh! Now my inbox is filled with requests. And the Leopard Mail autoresponder is useless.
I'm thinking, hey, im a Leopard Mail user, maybe I can help Leo here. So I go to fire up Mail. Oops, Safari won't let me, because it's still trying to open a pdf in the browser, and is "requesting" my attention first. Okay, lets take care of that.

Scoble gives an honest critique, and I actually agree with him, mostly
The infamous Robert Scoble gave a thorough brow-beating to Apple a little bit ago, and I completely missed it. And by "thorough brow-beating," what I really mean is an honest critique that should be considered.
Oh, crap, I know, I'm supposed to be a big Apple fan, and jump all over him like the trained puppy that many fanbois have become. Well, that's not gonna happen. I may be an Apple fan, but fan != fanboi, got it?
I'm doing the whole "I'm an Apple fan" disclaimer stuff now so that the people who are already getting irate with me will just pipe down for a minute, take an Ambien or something, chill out, and clear their minds.
Now, onto the critique. There are a few really great points, and the entire premise of the article is absolutely true. Apple has done what few others have managed to do with regards to brand positioning and customer loyalty. It really is amazing. Nevertheless, having countless devoted fans does not correlate to perfection. In fact, far from it in Apple's case.

Fun with Wordpress running on a univeristy Veritas server
Ah, Wordpress, you slippery devil, you got the best of me this time. Back in May, I was asked to install WordPress on a university server. Seems like no problem, after all, WordPress is famous for the "5 minute install," right? That's what I thought.
Until I was informed that this particular Veritas environment runs PHP from CGI.
