MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Possessing marijuana, cocaine and even heroin will no longer be a crime in Mexico if the drugs are carried in small amounts for personal use, under legislation passed by the Mexican Congress.
I know where I’LL be vacationing if I get the chance!
Hawaii, that’s where.
Currently we’re paying $1000 bucks a month (which I think is too much). We just got a notice that rent is being increased a MERE 23% at lease renew time (september 1st) to $1300 a month. When we moved in the guy was cool and asked that we have a 10 month lease instead of a 12 month lease so that if we decided to move out it would be in september and he would be able to rent it out to university students, so I said yes. Of course, at the time I wasn’t thinking that I was screwing myself because now they’re thinking “lah-dee-dah I can raise the rent like mad and if they decide to leave then we’ll get university students to move in”. I shouldn’t have agreed to the 10 month lease, they wouldn’t raise the rent because then they wouldn’t be able to find anyone to move in at this retarded price after peak apartment hunting season has already finished.
So now we’re house hunting. No more renting bullshit.. Build equity rather than throw money away… and all that.
The site’s been moved off penderwood.servehttp.com/penderwood onto penderwood.dreamhosters.com. You probably went to your normal site and got here by conventional means, but that ain’t good enough anymore!! It probably looks like http://penderwood.dreamhosters.com/penderwood in your bar but you no longer need the /penderwood at the end there.
The new server is neat. The installation was fairly smooth. I’m currently in the process of uploaded all the pictures and videos and stuff to the server, will probably take a few hours.
THANKS jody for letting me use the new server! We can now turn off the 3rd puter at night and maybe save a few pennies in electricity. Hurray!
The only thing I’ve noticed with the upgrades is that there’s this ugly white bar in the top right corner. It’s smelly and I’ll likely have nightmares about it tonight.
The upgrade from 1.2 -> 1.5 really sucked.. 1.5 introduced “themes” and broke the crap out of the way the site looked (it turned uglier.. hard to believe, but it’s true). It took a couple of hours to fix it all back up, mostly due to the fact that I just totally forgot just how much customizing I did.
Crap, I just noticed the text on the right sidebar is now all lowercase.. Something else to fix tomorrow.
The upgrade from 1.5 -> 2.0.2 was ridiculously easy. Too easy. Probably half the site’s broke and I don’t even know it!
I’ve also installed some spam blocker that everyone seems to be using, I’m sure it’s just marvy. Hopefully that’ll help prevent the devil from creepin’ onto the site every day or two.
I’ll probably be moving the site from my 3rd puter onto a real server over the weekend, courtesy of mr. j0dy (of this site’s comments fame… and possibly, to a lesser extent, Steel White Table). You’ll know it’s happend when this site ain’t here anymore and is replaced with a “THIS DOMAIN HAS MOVED, UPDATE YOUR 16 BOOKMARKS WITH THE NEW SITE, YOU MAY BE REDIRECTED AT SOME POINT, WHENEVER I GET AROUND TO IT, MAYBE.” site.
Welp, another google invention that I think is just marvy is the Google Calendar. One day before it came out I had actually done a search for online calendars and found either crappy free ones, or for pay ones. Coincidence? I think not. They got hard to work and built it for me and I must say, thanks Mr. Google, it’s wonderful!
The calendar sharing stuff is cool. You can overlay your calendar with a buddy’s calendar and compare who has the bigger calendar, with more friends and more things to do, proving your worth as a socialite. The only bug I’ve seen so far is when someone else comments on your calendar, it shows your own name as the commenter. Please get busy and fix that, Mr. Google. Thanks.
They also have event notifications like a popup, email, or even a cell phone message. You can also import from other calendar formats, iCal or CSV (MS outlook) formats, which is neat if you have a previous (inferior) calendar utility you can quickly move over.
I’m planning to use this thing daily. Maybe with notes and comments it will replace my little notebook tingy that I use at work for writing down how to fix problems and stuff that happen on particular days. I’ll write it into my calendar, making use of Google’s search results (which is a might bit faster than me skimming through pages of my book, by inaccurate approximation of 15-18 nano-seconds time savings).
The possibilities aren’t endless!!! but who cares.
I just found out that Shadowbane went free. It was a pay-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, cost $10 to buy and $12.95 monthly fee USD. Apparently they’re relocating their staff, so it’s not really certain if this game will be out there for a while, but you could probably get a good month or three out of it, free. From everything I read and heard, it’s a pretty decent game. Wasn’t enough to get me into it, but if you’re bored of pirating games then getting bored of said games rather quickly, you could check it out, legally.
A buddy and the boss at work have been working on a rubik cube for about a month. Yesterday my buddy finishes it and puts it on the boss’s desk, who exclaims “how the hell did you do that?”. The cube was still a mess as of yesterday afternoon. Well as it turns out he cheated via this website:
Solve your scrambled rubik cube
You enter where your colours are and it tells you how to move the cube to solve it. Now you too can wow your friends into pathetic submission with your masterful rubik cube.. uh.. mastery.
