New buzz browser just came out.
Flock
Built ontop of firefox/mozilla, but designed to be more a social browser, tagging, blogging, etc.
It looks clean and fast, but i like my firefox plugins.

R.I.P OKRUT.
Lives long afterall. I had a typo in the url :( silly google, apparently its a very common mistake.
as far as i can tell, its gone, and has been for a while.
Now all thats left is myspace, friendster and that MSN one.
Though friendster got a complete overhall it seems.
Actually friendster looks REALLY good.

Apparently there is confusion all over, so here’s an email from the mailing list:
Okay, i thought i got all references to the extra files in the docs, but
i didn’t, and its a little late for me to try and rewrite the docs tonight.
Installation is just:
plugins/MTLJPost/MTLJPost.pl
Everything else is linked from the main interface using the new 3.x
plugin interface.
If you goto a specific blog, you can set that one up.
I removed all the extra files to make installation simpler, little did i
know everything was opposite ;)
PS, my archiving script broke, so there was a bad version of the files
up there up until about 5 minutes ago, so i suggest everyone redownload.

I still am working on my MT Plugins, but i’m in the middle of preparing for a move and switching jobs (yay for getting back to computer jobs). MTLJPost 1.9.2 is almost ready, i’m just trying to figure out the best way of doing the resyncing all entries thing.
Also alot of work has been done on Hi Sci Fi‘s website, including upgrading to MT 3.2 which i think i wanna do on here once i finish 1.9.2 of MTLJPost.
Keep an eye out for me on CJSF as i’m going to be on smile like a donut a lot more after the new job starts next week.

I’ve been searching around alot with google video. Its amazing all the videos out there.
For Example:
the old LARPers now with special effects
Young lightsaber duelests who did this well coreographed video (although the wordage sucks)
Eveything from trailers, to home videos, to even full blown tv shows seem to be on here. Even looking up Mike’s Slurrey shows up alot of stuff, including a few of my party videos.

Such a lovely neighbourhood I live in.
How long has it been since i started to notice this stuff?
Tonight there was at least 1, probably 2 hookers out near the gas station, plus on the way home, in a dark corner near my building, two, probably hookers, were doing some sort of drug, i’d suspect coke or something as i didn’t notice the usual potsmell from that location. They had alot of perfume, were obviously sorta out of it, specially by the tone of voice one used to ask me for the time, and the “thanks love” and such, all tends to make me think hookers again.
On the way in, one living here, probably not a hooker, but had skimpy but not sexy underwear sticking out the back of her low cut pants. shirt open showing as much cleavage as possible, and not to sound more stuck up, pretty dumb.. Couldn’t figure out she had the wrong key for the front door (was using an apt key for the building door).
I donno, just seems like an overly dirty neighbourhood tonight, maybe i was just more alert, or too tired to block things from the subconcious.

I had alot of fun, but apparently i was tricked into this channel on efnet called #bearcave. I randomly chatted for a bit, and then got booted out by paranoid bots. Got a message from someone a few minutes later.
<Hadal> Sorry about that. I would have liked you to stay.
<halkeye> heh
<halkeye> no worries man
<Hadal> Honestly. You seem fairly keen.
<halkeye> heh, just bored
<halkeye> this weird fella said i should go there
<halkeye> so i did
<Hadal> Not a prank, I hope?
<halkeye> him, or me
<halkeye> CrazyPale is pretty weird
<Hadal> Did you know what the channel’s purpose was before entering?
<halkeye> not a clue
<Hadal> Hmm.
<Hadal> So you’re not gay, then? :)
<halkeye> me, no, sorry man
<halkeye> but thats what i figured the channel was
* Hadal nods
<halkeye> i’m not sure why the paranoid security is though
<Hadal> A prank after all. I’m doubly sorry for the trouble.
<Hadal> Oh, apparently it’s a common joke to tell people to go to this channel, without an explanation.
<halkeye> heh
<halkeye> oh really? thats seem silly
<halkeye> why goto places with good conversations?
<halkeye> i mean a little quiet
<halkeye> but decent enough
<Hadal> You’re supposed to freak out when you realise you’re in a channel full of homos.
<halkeye> oh no, was i? i’ll get right on that
<Hadal> That’s the way it usually works, anyway.
<halkeye> right after the witch burning
<halkeye> and stoning
<Hadal> If you hurry, you won’t be late for the crucifixtion.
<halkeye> sweet
<halkeye> but don’t want to forget the witches
<halkeye> they might feel left out
<Hadal> Yes; and their supple, pale flesh burns ever so nicely.
<halkeye> and the old latex hats
<halkeye> the smell, god the hell
<Hadal> The resultant bonemeal is excellent for vigorous roses, however.

I can’t belive I had to install spam protection, so many spammers talking about hurricane katrina, or google.
Just as a side note, MTLJPost is ready for the next release, I just havn’t gotten around to packing it up, with this job, thinking about school, applying for other jobs, and my other projects, I have been quite busy. I hope to get it out there for this long weekend though.

I mean what self respecting geek doesn’t have thoughts about building a real lightsaber one day? But man, why in the middle of the night? Okay I figured out some stuff a while back, I think at work, and just getting around to posting now.
A while back, must have been early june I guess, just after I got my think geek lightsaber (man paid too much for that), I started to look into how to make prop lightsabers for fun, so you could do those mock battles and such. During that search, I came across some sort of ‘professional’ scientist’s take on lightsabers. Couple of really interesting points, mostly that it could be done, but you’d really have to look out for mirrored or shiny surfaces as it would reflect the cutting beam, as well as the fact you couldn’t get the blades to clash at all.
Now, there’s alot of different cutting tech at work, and I guess that got me thinking. I know CRTs and stuff use magnets to bend light and radation to get the effects on screen. Now.. couldn’t you use magnetic fields to contain the light, still able to cut (lets say constantly shifting … eww, polarity so it doesn’t prevent you from getting near metal objects), then you would actually be able to clash lightsabers, yet still cut with the beams of light. Though I guess even then you’d have to somewhat worry about reflective surfaces.
Okay, it sounded alot more feasable in my head, now it seems just as infesable as the original article said.
