All Over The Place

Ok, today I have been doing some rearranging. Moved my blog here. Changed the site to asp.net 2.0 – redid some web services I had running on here to 2.0, pretty much just changing every all over the place!

Sublime – What I Got (acappella cover)

Whew!!

I just went through my music library and tried to clean up some of the random songs. One song that was the hardest to find the answer to

What I Got (Sublime Cover)

That is all I had to go on. Listening to it, it was sung “A cappella” (acappella) . Searching the net, a lot of people said it was 311, which (lol) it is not, I am a huge 311 fan and trust me, it wasn’t 311.

In the Sublime version, they sing “I got a dalmation, I can still get high.
I can play the guitar like a mother fu*$in’ riot” but in the version I had to look up, they sing “I can play the guitar like a rubber duckin’ riot” so I searched on that, and still people thought it was 311!!

Finally found a message board where someone said it was the “The Stanford Harmonics” – good enough for me! If it isn’t them and someone knows what I am talking about please let me know!

They do start doing a medley at the end of the song, with like “No Diggity” by Blackstreet and “All Mixed Up” by 311, so that is maybe where people are getting confused.

Update:
It’s on our myspace site now!

ActiveX vs. Java

Firefox isn’t a panacea. I got spyware installed on a box surfing with firefox. A java applet installed spyware that affects internet explorer. I think it is more a vuln. in java and windows, not really firefox or ie. It really shows you that ActiveX isn’t the only thing that has issues as far as installing things on your box when surfing.

I think that you need to worry about security no matter if you use IE or FF or anything else. 🙂

Firefox 100 Million Downloads+

Pretty much every tech blog has this as an entry lately. My only question is: Do they count every upgrade as a new download? And when did they start counting?

1.0
1.0.1
1.0.2
1.0.3
1.0.4
1.0.5
1.0.6
1.0.7

Every update I have done, have they counted it? And every install on every pc I have, and everytime I reload my machine? do they count those? I probably have 200 under by belt by now.

Makes you wonder how they count the “real”, “unique” installs

Search Engine Wars

Took a look at my referrer logs tonight. Wow, MSN Search is kicking some major a$$! It seems that Google and Yahoo direct people to my archive pages, while MSN directs them right to the actual link page of the post, way better.

For something posts, MSN is the first hit, others I dont even see on the front page. For instance, search for “walmart auto service”

MSN I am #1, Google and Yahoo – no where to be found.

I have been using MSN search and I would say it is getting better. I also have been using Dogpile the last few weeks and that is pretty cool too, now that it includes MSN.

Reincarnation (Crazy Eyes!!)

I’m sure a lot of people have seen the news about the runaway bride (Jennifer Wilbanks) – those are some crazy eyes.

Well, I was thinking about back in high school, there was the big “Heavens Gate” cult – and their leader, Marshall Applewhite – he had some crazy eyes. We pulled some good pranks on teachers with the Time magazine cover and some cutting and pasting.

Well, I looked up both of their images and I made a little comparison image. Maybe Marshall Applewhite has been reincarnated as Jennifer Wilbanks? You be the judge.

Bar Wars

I’m at TGI Friday’s Bar Wars right now. Front row sears. It starts at 8. They are competing against Brooklyn Center. This is the only type of war I would support! (and Star Wars)

Update:
St. Cloud TGI Fridays won the competition, and it was a good show overall. It was like the movie “Cocktail” with Tom Cruise, some of those guys were awesome, like playing hackey sack with the bottles, and then making a drink out of it.
