Hey Jonathan, long time no see. If you're wondering - I've been busy with life, love, and the pursuit of a worthless green cloth-like substance known as currency and haven't had much of a chance to stay up-to-date on current news (haven't touched an RSS reader since December). Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I might be getting back into the whole "blogging" thing here in the next few months, just got to finish up a few side projects first.

Re: Hostgator Bites Spam

Yeah that was always one of the issues that has bothered me with HG. There's been numerous times that my server has been put on e-mail blacklists due to the spam other users send out. It's quite a mess to clean up - but at least it hasn't happened in a while.

Maybe one of these days when I get a few extra hundred bucks per month I'll just get a dedicated server and end the shared hosting torment.

Re: The Worst DMCA Response I’ve Seen

Thought I'd chime in a bit - I got almost the same response when I sent a notice to HostGator many months ago. Basically responded and asked for a higher up and it was taken care of quickly. In fact - it was nearly the same response. I wonder if the same guy worked at both places?

Re: The Mac (Un)Mighty Mouse

I agree with you totally. I also can justify the "apple tax" a bit - granted I'm currently using a hackintosh. Believe it or not the ONE feature that keeps me from using windows or linux as my main os is the way it selects text when you double click on a chunk of code or whatever. It sounds stupid - but when you program professionally and have to drag bits and pieces of code around 1,000 times a day even the slightest delay can throw off your whole rhythm. Even using the same exact IDE on windows/linux/ and os x it is different.

As far as the mouse goes - yeah it's a joke. Admittedly I'm a logitec fanboy - always loved them - always will.

I'm more of a logitec mouse fanboy. I could care less about their other products - but their mice are just awesome. They fit perfectly in my hand - work flawlessly - and i've never had a problem. Whenever I use a mouse from an inferior company it just doesn't feel right :)

Re: Dominos Fail

Personally I prefer sticking with small local pizza places. I tend to think they give better service and better food - and you're supporting the local economy and not some rich corp based out of state. Even if the places are individually owned (not sure how Dominos structures their business) they still have to pay the mothership.

Not to mention local places have great wings too usually. One of ours has some mean garlic wings... If no one was around I could eat 50 of them easy ;)

To be honest I've pretty much given up on Apple. They constantly tell developers to "follow the aqua guidelines" yet they break the rules themselves all the time. Not a good way to set an example IMO.

Plus their software is getting too bloaty. Hope the next OS X fixes that. If not I'm done with them.

Better than vista heck no - I agree - but if the next OS X is anything like Win 7 I'll be one happy geek. If not, hello Win 7.

Re: Why Boycotts Fail

Jeremy Steele — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 12:05:41 -0000

Eh, I'd rather take the energy I'd spend doing a boycott and come up with some million dollar idea instead.

Leave it to the capitalist to say something like that ;)

Re: Geocities to Shutdown; What Was Geocities, You Ask?

Jeremy Steele — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:29:02 -0000

Aw dang - first somewhat real site I had was on geocities back in the day (when I was like 9... hah). Sad to see it go.

Huh... now that is weird.

Sorry, that's all I've got.

Wait... so going around chat rooms saying "hey babe, wassup?" and asking "a/s/l" is considered creepy? Dang - there goes my chance of getting a date.
