About

This site is embarrassingly in need of attention...the design hasn't been finished, the blog is barely used and my portfolio is 90% empty.

Oh, and I'm in love with Denver, CO.

Stupid Facebook Ads #003

I don’t know who has Googled me… Who's Googling me? Not them. But I can definitely tell who you who hasn’t. Continue Reading

Stupid Facebook Ads #002

Facebook didn’t disappoint. I’ve already got a second stupid ad. Dads are cavemen? I’m baffled yet again as to why this picture was deemed appropriate for ANY ad, let alone one targeting dads in need of scholarships.  They definitely got my attention, but it certainly wasn’t a positive result t ...

Stupid Facebook Ad #001

In what I hope becomes a regularly recurring post series here, I present a stupid ad from Facebook. Stupid Facebook Ad #001 Seriously. What the hell is this? Why is some creepy dude with a wicked unibrow the image used for trying to sell me on financial aid?  The only aid I want after seeing this picture is that which ... Continue Reading

Goodnight, sweet prince. You were before your time ...

I won’t pretend as though I loved Tonight with Conan O’Brien. I didn’t.  And I didn’t watch it much.  I watched a few nights when it first started and after that, I just ended up having better/different things to do at 10:35 PM every night. After the recent shenanigans started, however, I bega ... Continue Reading

UPDATED: It’s bad enough I’m a chronic ...

But all the weird issues I've been having with Ableton Live since upgrading to 8.0.9 a few months ago have only furthered my extreme skills in putting-off everything besides mindlessly surfing the internet for hours and whoring achievements on Xbox 360. Continue Reading

As if the Progressive lady wasn’t already sc ...

Now this ad on Facebook makes her look possessed.  She not only going to insure your car while talking incessantly and being all-around annoying, but she’s going to feast on your soul after taking your money. Clown-faced and over-chipper, but not TOO scary... But then the ad continues its animation: Jesus. Progr ... Continue Reading

Sometimes change isn’t better

I’ve been using Aptana Studio with the RadRails plugin for my Rails development on Windows.  It’s a pretty nice IDE with lots of features, built-in support for Rails (obviously) and, more importantly, is the only way to connect to their Cloud hosting service (which is, quite frankly, awesome). The upgrade ... Continue Reading

Paperclip not working? Might be a simple fix

As work continues on my super-secret (but really not all that secret) web application built in Rails, I’ve run into a number of problems…none of which have kept from my progressing (except for getting Thinking Sphinx working.  That…that I have no idea about but I’m using SearchLogic instead ...

Finally figured out Git on Windows!

Or rather, I remember what was working earlier when I was doing Rails stuff using Git repositories on Windows without msysgit installed. On a *nix based system with Git installed, simply running the following command in your Rails app directory would install the desired plugin: ruby script/plugin install git://github.c ...

I’m a *nix user now

Linux on PS3 So I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my Playstation 3 earlier to great success and fanfare. People from all around the world came by to congratulate me and wish me well. It was quite an awe-inspiring event. Anyway, everything went INCREDIBLY smoothly. There were no problems/errors/hiccups/setbacks or anything at ... Continue Reading
