So a few days ago my mighty mouse decided to crap out. I did my best to take it apart and clean it, but we all know that once you take apart a ‘glued together’ piece of electronics things are rarely ever the same again. So, seeing as I needed a new mouse and had an extra $70 burning a hole in my pocket, I decided to dive in and get myself a new Magic Mouse.
The quest for my perfect guitar tone continues…
After a few weeks of playing with the settings, re-biasing, and changing out tubes I finally decided that I just didn’t like the power tubes, and that they were likely the source of my problems with tone. So I called up my friends at thetubestore.com and had them ship me a set of EL34B’s.
I was working on a little attendance tracking system today and I used PHP and some native CodeIgniter functions to get it to play nice with my APP. I’m using one of my favorite new scripts CalendarView to pass the dates into this function from a simple form post.
I am going to go ahead a regurgitate what everyone has been saying for years now, that IE6 is just well past its prime and its time to retire it. This has been beaten death time and time again, so I am not going to list all the reasons why we should drop it, I am just going to tell you how to make sure that users with IE6 are properly handled on your site.
KaPLOW! There goes the power tubes… so I decided to take some time and really invest in the overall sound of my Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 by retubing and rebiasing the beast. I had some great friends in the studio recording a few months ago. The guitar player Andy had a hot rodded jcm900 and I was really digging on the sound. I picked his brain and got some great insight into tubes and amp circuits, feeling brave I decided to jump head first into hot rodding my head (that doesn’t sound right).
So after Christmas I was browsing the local CVS and I saw these great Chia Pet Herb Gardens on sale for 8 bucks! So being that I really felt the need to “green” up my cube, I decided to go ahead and buy one. Wow! Let me tell you, I have NEVER seen anything grow so fast. Within days we had little sprouts, but there is a sad side to the story.
Well being that it was my birthday and I have a lot going on over the next few months, I decided that I should go get that sleeve started before I don’t have a chance to get anything done. I called upon my favorite and only tattoo artist Jamie (Jammer) at immortal ink in Flemington, NJ.
Give it up for Atlantic City NJ. The rest stop in Egg Harbor right before the AC express way has the most amazing junk food hot spot I have ever seen.
Its been a while but it looks like I was finally able to wrap up a lot of the loose ends and launch my new blog. I really like the new design, but I liked the old design too so that doesn’t say much. Although I think this design is much sleeker. I based it off of a few templates I found and stole a few ideas here and there from other blogs. Hey I’m not a designer by any means so I do what I have to, to survive.
So a friend of ours went away to amsterdam last year. We decided it would be a good idea to turn his cubicle into a pirate ship. A little paint along with some hard work and it came out awesome. Here is a step by step recount of the project.
