This post really has no central issue but I have been doing a few things the past few days to help upgrade d3vious a little bit and make it better.
Spam Robots!
Well for starters, I always check my comments to see who is around and about my blog and commenting and one day I saw 18 comments on my first blog post. Well at first I was thinking, "WOW did everyone just read that or what am I missing here". So all excited, I went to go read them and quickly got sad. What is the reason for this you ask?!? Well besides the 2 or 3 faithful and true comments, there were about 15-16 blog robot comments! Well this pissed me off and because it has happened before but not in this much bulk (last time was like 2 or 3 comments). So what I decided to do about this was add a field to the comments form that asks the user if they are a robot or not. As long as the user inputs "no" "No" or "NO" then there comment will be posted. Anything other ...
An Obamanation? Nov 5 ♦ 1 comments
Well, as everyone knows Senator Obama is now elected president by the people of the United States. Through our electoral college system, Democract Barack Obama won 349 electoral votes, while Republican John McCain won 147 electoral votes. There have been other resounding victories similar to this in our pastime, for example Franklin Delano Roosevelt over Alf Landon in 1936, 523 to 8 votes or Woodrow Wilson over Roosevelt and William Taft in 1912, 435-96. (Source: The Associated Press) Either way, this is not something new as we have seen in our past.
Yee-Haa (Gallop!)
In the days leading up to the election there were so called "gallop" polls that stated the current election status of each candidate for example Obama 53% to McCain's 47%. These polls are clearly just a spark to give the press and American citizens something to gossip about and go by. In my opinion we could do without these polls but the press needs something to feed off of right? My reason ...
RIM Blackberry Storm...Brilliant or Bust? Oct 12 ♦ 2 comments
Well, I know the first thing that comes to mind (especially for you iPhone fanatics) is "oohh a blackberry, EWW" or as some say "crackberries". Well, I have to agree to an extent, but this is only because most are comparing it to the iPhone itself. In reality, what can step up to the plate against the iPhone... Not really any phone at all. At least so far. Anyway so lets examine the positives and negatives that I have been able to uncover so far for this new Verizon capabale touch screen. Oh, and by the way, this phone is supposedly the first ever touch screen blackberry and is expected to be released somewhere in November of this year (08). Verizon slaves lets unite and keep our fingers crossed on this one...
Specifics
Before i get started on the intricate details of this phone I want to first say I got most of my information from PhoneArena. They are up to date with the newest phone ...
COLD Blooded? Sep 6 ♦ 3 comments
It's been almost a month since I last posted anything and I have good reason! This past month has been hectic and a change to me. All summer I was either outside helping work around the house, or inside working on x3no and other various web design projects. Now that college has started back up, I've been trying to get back into the swing of things there and stay on top of my homework. So far so good.
Are you COLD?
Well to add to the change of things recently, I acquired a part time job at a Software Company called Nsite, LLC. At this company I have learned many new things and had to change my current programming habits. For the most part I do PHP/MySQL development for my projects and sites that I& ...
iPod Touch Ups and Downs Aug 12 ♦ 1 comments
Well, recently i bought an iPod Touch 16 GB off of eBay for a fairly good price even though it was refurbished. I have since then had mixed thoughts about the iPod Touch (or as it is also called the iTouch). It has its up's and down's (mostly up's). Where to begin.. We'll start with the good aspects of this genious Mp3 design.
Some Background
I'm sure everyone has seen and heard the hype about the iPhone and all that it is doing. Well I have verizon and they denied apple's iphone (which thoroughly pisses me off) so i'm stuck with getting the 2nd best thing which is the iTouch. The iTouch, like the iPhone, has pretty much the same interface but there are a few functionality differences. They should be obvious but the iTouch can't call or take pictures. There may be more but that is basically the only big differences i've noticed. Being as i dont have an i ...
