All of my domains are currently suffering from a slight case of temporal jet lag and are floating around in domain limbo…
Fun times indeed.
So I’ve just finished moving 976MB of MySQL data from one server to another, that sucked royally. Apparntly 1&1 only allows you to upload SQL files that are less than 8,192kb, which [...]

Thinking About a Scooter

As unexciting as it sounds, I’m thinking about purchasing a scooter. Mainly for my girlfriend to use, as currently she just steals my car all the time. I figure it’d be a decent investment considering a basic scooter gets 3x the MPG of my car, and the yearly operating costs would be significantly less than [...]

Fixing Portal Crashes

For those of you who are getting the following error when trying to launch Portal, there is hope! Unless you’re running it under Boot Camp on a MacBook, if that’s the case you’re screwed.
