Re: Using Adobe Air?

honestape — Mon, 26 May 2008 21:41:16 -0000

I absolutely love Twhirl, but it's the only air app so far that I've found interesting enough to install. Well, the Finetune one is pretty damn awesome, actually. Why did I stop using that one? I don't know. In fact, I'm off to download it now.

P.S. For screencaps, the best program I've ever found is the free and excellent gadwin print screen.

Have you tried Linux? I use windows, but I've tried Linux, and it's not shit at all. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it shit.

@fenix
I know for a fact the writer uses Linux, and he's not bashing windows, other than a slam on their name. If anything, he's bashing the marketing team who came up with the name.

Did you even read this before you posted your comment? Or did you just see Linux and comment on it?

I use Windows, and I thought this was an interesting article.

Re: I’ll Sack Them

honestape — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:45:23 -0000

I know your pain. I used to manage a place and was the go-to guy for alarms. Always set off by the cleaning crew. Over and over and over again. And they had the alarm codes. They had the instructions. But they'd rotate staff and not fill the new ones in on the process. So, I'd have to go to my office in the middle of the night and wait for the police to show up (if I couldn't cancel them in time). I'd show them my ID and then get to go home. The law in Baltimore (where I lived at the time) went like this:
3 False Alarms: No Fee
4th-6th: $300 each
7th on: $500 each
And I think they did it ten times. We billed them for every dollar, of course, but c'mon! I needs mah sleeps!

My wife and I drive about 950 miles in one fell swoop to my in-laws house every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then 950 on the way home. All-in-all, it takes about 14-16 hours.

Yeah, we're fucking nuts. No need to mention it.

BTW, the feed reader showed the title of the post as "Driving home for the Christmas Sleepies". I thought, what the hell are the Christmas Sleepies?? I guess strike-through doesn't translate to feed readers.

Re: The God Delusion

honestape — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:17:50 -0000

I think his comments are well written, but they seem be a bit simplistic and glaze over several quite glaring issues; Natural Disaster, Disease, Accidents..

He states:

".....that God gave dominion of Creation to Man. If there is suffering, if there is evil in Creation, it is there because Man who has dominion over Creation and allows it through either direct action or inaction..."

This may apply to evil, but in way touches upon the horrifying things that happen every day due the causes I listed above. How many godly or innocent people died over the last couple years from Tsunami, Hurricane or Earthquakes? How many innocent children died as a result of those? What about babies with cancer? Nuns who die from the flu? Did these things happen due to the "direct action or inaction" of man? How many people who died in the Earthquake, several days later, who surely must have been praying to God for rescue? How many died while praying for the quake to stop. How many children die while their mothers pray for their terminal illness to go away?

I don't think you can explain away human suffering with something so easy as the evil that men do. If you want me to accept that free will allows man to do evil things to man, I'll accept it. But you'll need to do a lot better to make me believe that there are reasons God allows people to die in the above cases.

Re: The God Delusion

honestape — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:59:46 -0000

@nabiy
Appreciate the response and the fleshed out thought. I personally think the idea of original sin is reprehensible. The idea that God would hold all of his children responsible, from birth, for the sins of the first man, or any man in the past is a thought that makes God seem less like a loving God and more like a petty, vengeful God. Imagine you holding a child responsible for the actions of its parents. Say a man killed your dog, and you hold his newborn child responsible. Anyone who's not God who did that would be considered small and petty. But if God does so, it's canon and acceptable. I don't want to believe in a God who thinks that way, or a church who endorses it.

It should be noted that 99% of the time you are using Plurk, you're using your own page. So you won't even see another user's page. Thus, as long as it looks good to you, it's worth it.

That being said, I've seen a LOT of hideous ones. They need a better plurk css guide, in my opinion. Those of us who know CSS can work wonders, though, completely redesigning almost everything about the page. It's really a great benefit.
