BULLS!

Tue, February 24th 2009

Okay, although almost nobody seems to like the trades the bulls have done last week, I personally love them. I’m happy to have Brad Miller back and it would seem we got John Salmons thrown if for free? Now that’s a deal. I was glad to see Larry go… and Thabo for a 1st round pick? It’s a beautiful thing. Good job Pax.

Playoffs!!!!

Microsoft Revenge!

Mon, February 23rd 2009

ieblows.jpgWhile reading this post that includes an email written by Bill Gates, ranting about the suckiness of Windows, I was torn. On one hand, I thought REVENGE!!!!!; on the other I thought “Bill knows how bad his crap is and releases it anyway”.


“Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.”

On a similar note, since I was just building a new website, I will once again beg y’all to STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER. Please? Pretty please? Sugar… top? Use ANYTHING else. Chrome, Firefox or Safari would make fine choices and all are MUCH better than IE.

If only I could bill M$ for the time required to code around their buggy, crappy products.

(This is the) Squirrel Hunters – Inaugural Bluegrass Ball

Wed, January 21st 2009

The boys (and Lorie) celebrated our new President by playing an Inaugural Bluegrass Ball at the Roxbury Tavern. The place was PACKED with folks toasting in a new era. A fantastic time was had by all.

Worst Ever…

Bulls…

Wed, January 14th 2009

Okay. Okay… okay… I’ll say it. I don’t want to say it but I feel like I have to. I mean, I would make you say it if things were reversed. They deserve it and I’m going to say it. Now. Right now… here.

The Bulls totally suck ass this year.

There. I said it. Happy?

Where To Get Vegemite In The States

Fri, December 19th 2008

vegemite.jpgWhile in Australia last year, discovered, and soon became addicted to, Vegemite. This is neither here nor there except that when I ripped through the small amount I brought back with me, I needed a place to score some more!

Although it’s made by Kraft, it never caught on in the US and thus, is hard to find. I find this odd, especially here in Wisconsin, where the fact that it is a byproduct of the beer making process would ensure it’s popularity. Not so. Cheese curds yes. Yeast extract no.

Anyway, I was able to get some online but it’s expensive and the shipping is murder! I tried calling all the gorcery stores in town… no go (though some do cary Marmite (Vegemite’s sweeter cousin)). Then lo and behold… my friend Gina produced two 150g jars of the delicous brown ooze… from World Market no less. As the folks from OZ would say: “Good on ya’ World Market”!

Addiction pacified.

Regular Expression Examples

Mon, November 10th 2008

I regularly find myself in need of regular expressions. Google is of course helpful for these but since Slashdot has a nice article throwing them out there for me, I figure I’ll grab some here for quick access:

IP Address:
/^((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[0-9])\.){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[0-9])$/

Mac Address:

/^[0-9a-fA-F]{2}:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}$/
