Beating the Red Wings on Home Ice

…is such a great feeling! It was a 6-3 win for the Predators in regulation for their last game of the regular season, and it was an absolute blast! I think I screamed louder, harder, and longer at that game than I did even during the playoffs last season! But, since I [...]

Why I can’t get my head around tableless CSS

…and why Web 2.0 design really irritates me.
I’ve been trying for the better part of the past two months to get my head wrapped around this whole tableless CSS Web 2.0-design craze. I’m a left-brained kinda guy. I want structure. I’m good at structure. I am the “table god” as I [...]

New Favorite Picture(s)

I’ve uploaded the pictures from this weekend earlier today. There’s a handful from the early Easter party at Sparky’s and quite a few from the Predators vs. Blackhawks game (that’s a whole other disappointing rant).
One of the shots from the game is just awesome, in my opinion. It’s just the puck standing on [...]

FrankenRAID

Taken from my post on ChattaLAN:
I know I’ve talked to a few of you about this, so I figured I’d post my progress…100%. I got the computer that Pie built and was going to build it into some extra storage for Overkill. Well, it’s up and running. I found a 128MB stick [...]

Shuttles Crashing: An Update

So, as it turns out, the reason my Intel Shuttle is overheating is because the main exhaust fan is dead. So, the thing is running with the case open and just some heat pipes connected to a radiator keeping it cool. Who woulda thought that a 3GHz Intel proc could run on passive [...]

Spring Cleaning ‘06

So, I’ve decided it’s time for some much needed spring cleaning. For the most part, things are cleaned up just the way I like them. There are just a few places that could use a little bit of re-organization. One of them is the dry sink that is a collective dump for [...]

Shuttles Crashing

Over the past couple of months, both of my Shuttle computers started randomly crashing. The AMD Shuttle started to go first. However, when it crashed, there was a little red light glowing from the interior. Red = heat? Sure enough, after further diagnosis, it was overheating when it required any amount [...]

The Big Game

Tomorrow is the big game. Not for the Predators (although 2 points would help a lot), but for me and ChattaLAN. ChattaLAN.com will be up on the jumbotron for 16,000+ people to see! There are 27 of us going in the group under the ChattaLAN name. However, due to a few [...]

Female mushing: Really cool or breaking the laws of nature?

So, my roomate has made a friend through his Star Trek MUSH. First of all, that’s geeky in and of itself. He spends a few hours each day playing the thing. He’s probably put just as much time into it this year as some of you have put in to World of [...]
