Finally signed up for a Twitter account. You can find me here. No clue if I’ll use it long term or not, but it seems to be a good place to post random crap like plugin progress, etc.

WordCamp Portland

Viper007Bond — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:48:16 +0000

Apparently there’s gonna be a WordCamp here in Portland. The previous major WordCamps have always looked interesting but were much too far away for me to go. However with this one being just a short bus ride away, I no longer have any legitimate reasons not to go.

So, I guess you know where I’ll be on Saturday, September 27th. :)

My Audioscrobbler Account: Five Years Ago Today

Viper007Bond — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 07:00:35 +0000

Five years ago today, I made an account on some site called “Audioscrobbler”. It was a new fangled site that’d keep track of the music you listened to and create trends, history, etc. No one had really ever heard of it and I only did because I knew one of the developers who was also helping out with Audio-Tracker (a “Now Playing” image site).

Five years later, Audioscrobbler has merged with Last.fm and become the awesomeness that it is today. Oh how the times have changed.

A Few Random Notes

Viper007Bond — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:27:54 +0000

Rather than making a couple short posts I’ve been meaning to make, here there are crammed into one post.

Web Developers: When backing up your computer before formatting, don’t forget to backup your MySQL tables too. Don’t be an idiot like me and loose a lot of your work. Thankfully I remembered to backup all my PHP code and I don’t think there was too much of utter importance in my database, but still, what a flippin’ pain in the ass.
My New Computer: is awesome. It can play any current game on max settings, including Crysis. I love it and you can see the specs right here.
Happy New Year: Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, etc. Yeah, I’m lazy and put this off. heh

World Of Warcraft > Me

Viper007Bond — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:27:50 +0000

I’m addicted and this blog is dead now as a result, lol. If I’m not doing paid work, I’m most likely playing it.

I’ll try and set aside some time to get plugins updated, but damn that game is fun. :(

Man Do I Love Google!

Viper007Bond — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 06:57:40 +0000

Last night, I signed up for Google to handle my e-mail as well as let me sign into Google Talk with my domain name. It’s all thanks to the incredibly cool (but not really new) Google Apps for Your Domain. I only get 2 gigs of space (rather than the ever increasing space of regular GMail), but I get their awesome spam protection, GMail interface (with my own logo), threaded replies, catchall support, etc. Not to mention that I can have up to 100 e-mail addresses, so if my normal one ever actually gets full, I can just make a new one and forward everything to it.

Way cool.

Earthquake!

Viper007Bond — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 06:56:27 +0000

Heh, we just had a 2.6 earthquake here, right in downtown Portland (literally). Whole house moved up and down. :)

I Don’t Use GMail!

Viper007Bond — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 13:34:29 +0000

A lot of people think that the “Viper007Bond@GMail.com” to the right is my e-mail address and have been using it to contact me. Well let me set you all straight — I don’t and never have used GMail for my e-mail, so please stop e-mailing me via that. ;)

I did set it up to forward to my real e-mail address, but it’s still somewhat annoying when use it. Please just use my contact form that’s linked to at the top of this page. It’s there for a reason, folks. :)

Woo Hoo, 2nd Lieutenant!

Viper007Bond — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 02:58:39 +0000

I finally got the next rank in Battlefield 2. Yay! :)

Happy Birthday To Me! :D

Viper007Bond — Sat, 29 Jul 2006 02:28:01 +0000

Yep, that’s right, I was born exactly 22 years ago this minute! :)

Damn It’s Been Hot!

Viper007Bond — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 09:38:58 +0000

Yeah, so on Sunday it hit 100F (38C) here and then on Monday (yesterday), it hit 102F (39C). That’s the hottest day in June that we’ve EVER had. Ugh!

And yeah, yeah, I know, in Arizona, Texas, etc., temperatures like that are pretty common. But around here, that’s damn hot! I mean, during July and August, the average high is around 80F (27C) according to Wikipedia.

Thank goodness it’s “only” going to be 88F (31C) tomorrow, but that’s not much to look forward to as here at 2:30AM, it’s still 75F (24C). :(

April Fool’s Day

Viper007Bond — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 21:21:42 +0000

As many of you may know, I hate today (April Fool’s Day) with a passion. It’s not because I don’t find it funny sometimes, it’s because I’m just too damn gullible and always forget what day today is. Then I start thinking it’s true and it takes me forever to realize.

Anyway, here’s a couple good ones I’ve run across today. I’ll update the list as I find more and feel free to point out any good ones you’ve found via the comments of this post. ;)

WordPattern — WordPress merging with TextPattern
Google Romance — a funny new spoof from Google (and damn that chick’s hot!)

I’m Back

Viper007Bond — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 08:37:37 +0000

Got back into town this evening. Please give me a bit to catch up on e-mails, forum posts, etc. ;)

I’ll Be Outta Town

Viper007Bond — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 01:33:16 +0000

Just a head’s up — if you’re trying to get ahold of me, I’ll be outta town from Saturday until Thursday. I’ll be in Eastern Oregon vacationing with my family and won’t have access to the Internet until I get back. ;)

Haha, I feel so emo…

Viper007Bond — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 14:16:01 +0000

I finally broke down and got a MySpace account. I feel so dirty now…

For the record, I won’t actually be blogging on it. I just signed up to find some long lost friends from many years back. ;)
