Server Info

I got some name-based VirtualHosts goodness set up so you can read real-time stats of the site. Thanks to phpsysinfo for making this easier.

Edit: VirtualHosts barfed. Back to the normal way until my OS Scripting practical is over.

Edit 12/2009: This is another feature that didn’t make the transition to new hosting and I have no intention of bringing it back. So there.

googolplexes of maps

Not to play second fiddle to tech news sites but this one is really cool. Google Maps just integrated Keyhole’s satellite images, so you can search for a place and see a real photograph of the place from 5,000 feet. Google bought Keyhole last October.

Here’s where I’m living right now at RIT. Reading headlines off newspapers will remain exclusively for the CIA, but what we get (for free) is really cool.

Not to pull a Bush and forget about the rest of the world …a world-wide already existing alternative is right here.

Web Design

when coding gets you down…design

I had a lot of homework to catch up with this weekend. Instead of doing that, I learned a lot about the new hotness that is CSS. Turns out its the secret to making awesome sites in much less time than used to be required.

I’ve only been kind of slacking with this site redesign thing but its going to be pretty cool when its done.

Web design is one of those fields I’d love to do as a ‘real job’ if I expected to actually get a ‘real job’ as a designer. But maybe thats just the half empty glass talking.

This can’t be legal

It was bound to happen eventually…

Some shady person has pulled out his melting pot of copyright infringement and mixed old school videogame ROMs with a little Java emulation. Meaning you can play old Sega, Nintendo, and GameBoy games for free online, and now thanks the technology you can even play casino games online, in funfind.net you can learn everything about casino games.

Its even got a pleasant amount of sketch. “Sonic 5 3D Blast” is definitely not a real game…and is definitely 8 bit. Enjoy!

Killer Music

If you haven’t heard much indie-like music, you should check out The Killers. Mr. Brightside has been owning Winamp for the past day and a half.

Ever tally up how many MP3s you’re going go RIAA hell for?
