Wordpress 2.5 has been released

Eric Mesa | March 29, 2008

It’s really funny because my brother just asked me to create a blog for him on my server and I was thinking, “Man, if Wordpress 2.5 is coming out soon. I’d hate for him to learn the 2.3 interface and then have 2.5 come out right away.” But I set him up with [...]

When Random isn’t so Random

Eric Mesa | March 18, 2008

I’ve noticed for some time now (yet, despite what I thought, have not blogged about) that when I listen to all my music on random, it doesn’t appear to really be random. It’s mostly random, but not random enough as I noticed some songs coming up more often than they should. At first [...]

Eric Mesa | March 10, 2008

Today I was reading an article about protecting kids from seeing bad things on the Internet. The author pointed out that there’s bad enough stuff on Conservative Fox News and pointed to this link.

Airlines Getting Desperate for Cash?

Eric Mesa | March 5, 2008

On a recent business flight I took, I noticed that my tray table had become an advertisement for cough drops

Also, a plane ticket, which I, regrettably, did not photograph, had an advertisement for Papa Johns Pizza. Has it come to this? Are the airlines so desperate for cash that they have resorted to selling [...]

Mario gets a small upgrade

Eric Mesa | March 4, 2008

When I first started playing with Linux I had a very crappy old computer; I think it was a 286. It was painful to try and do anything in Gnome or KDE, but it ended up making a pretty good server as it was the server that ran this site until late 2005 or [...]

More Flickr Hacking

Eric Mesa | March 2, 2008

Over the last two days, between playing Portal and Age of Empires III (both of which are…awesome!), I’ve been doing a little more flickr hacking. This is very closely related to my previous Flickr program where I checked if my pictures were ready to be moved into the next views groups.
This time I wanted [...]
