I just saw a juicy little item over on eff.org that is going to rate about 9.5 on the dumber-than-crap-o-meter. They are saying that If a computer has popups and viruses, that this means that [...]

RIAA Hires Artists, Then Calls Cops

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
In another case of anti-piracy gone too far, I just saw a times article about a case where apparently the RIAA hired some people to make “mixtapes” and then sent in the swat team to bust ‘em under the RICO act.
I wonder, when did it become ok to be a hypocrite [...]

The most popular item on the list is “Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora [...]

MPAA in Violation of a Copyright?

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
I ran across something on slashdot that struck pretty high on the irony meter. The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), has got some more egg on it’s face. Not only that, but there’s some “’splainin to do Lucy.”
I followed the story to a post on TorrentFreak to get [...]

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
D-Wave Systems Inc., a company in Canada has claimed to achive a working quantum computer but scientists (and a lot of other folks) are beginning to have some serious doubts. It seems that when D-Wave did their demonstration, it was only by remote video. The machine itself was not [...]

Water on Mars?

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
I just saw an AP story that caught my attention. The headline was “More Evidence Found for Water on Mars“. It seems that NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken pictures showing alternating layers of light and dark toned rock. In those layers of rock they see a series [...]

Hold The Phone!

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
They’re starting to call it "Mobile Television" but it’s really nothing of the sort. It’s actually digital television on your phone or similar wireless device. You know, one of the many little gadgets people carry (and use) nearly everywhere. Some bright genius has decided that since these things [...]

One down, ?? to go

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
Well, by using a combination of a table and careful adjustments to the stylesheet, the calendar is now looking a lot more like I want it to. It may be a small thing, but I think it’s cool that I got the thing working and looking the way I wanted [...]

.css success

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
… well, some anyway. I got the calendar sorta fixed by moving the code up to a new div at the top of the sidebar template… before the beginning of the sidebar div. That fixed the crazy wide column widths for days that had entries. Next up is to [...]

some progress…

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
Ok, I made a little progress, I found reference to “php get_calendar()” in the docs and added it to the sidebar template. It’s gotten the calendar function to show up, but I can tell by looking at it that something needs tweaking, probably in the stylesheet someplace. (Any [...]
