The great but not quite free web browser is now completely free! To celebrate 10 years as a competing alternative browser Opera is now giving away their software for free. No ads, nag screens, licensing fees, etc. I wonder if this will have any effect on Firefox as the leading alternative browser. (As a side note I am using the new version of Opera to post this.)
Four years later and it still seems like yesterday. MSNBC has posted an interactive “Moment By Moment” presentation of the events surrounding September 11th. It is interesting as you can follow the chain of events that transpired from the morning of the 11th until the 14th. You can view the presentation by following this link and clicking on the presentation on the right side.
I saw a great car show yesterday and posted some pictures of it in the gallery. There was a Shelby GT500 Mustang in immaculate condition, a Lamborghini Countach and a lot of older hot rods that showed up.
I have probably put upwards of 130 pictures in my gallery over the last few days. I am really starting to love Simple PHP Gallery. Granted it doesn’t have all the features of the normal Gallery package but it does one thing better than any other gallery package I have seen. Be simple.
They include more wedding photos, shots of the Ferrari FXX, new pictures of my rabbit and 2 shots of a dog one of my neighbors just bought. Have a look.
Intel released its response to AMD’s complaint this past thursday. I posted the PDF of the response on IntelVsAMD.com. I have not read through it yet but from what I understand the jist of it is that Intel denies most of AMD’s claims though it does admit to certain facts listed in the complaint but none that are “monopolistic”, as would be epxected. I also understand that Intel claims that AMD’s statements in their complaint are contradictory.
The new sitemap is working great. WordPress sure has made managing this site easier. I enjoy writing custom php sites but for this site I’d like to keep it easy to manage. Make sure to check out the redone videos section that is now part of this theme.
Found a cool plugin to generate sitemaps for wordpress based sites. Gonna try it out. Will post my results later.
Converted the site to word press. After an hour or two of debuging the DB conversions, playing around with magic quotes, and studying the tables of WP it finally works. Thank god.
I have redone the gallery, and videos section and removed the forum. I plan on switching the main site to WordPress shortly. I don’t have as much time to maintain this site anymore so I need easier system to work with.
Google launched its Google Talk service last night. It uses your GMail login and password. If anyone needs an invite email me and ask for one! Would be nice to finally kill off the horribly ad
filled and code bloated AIM! Google Talk is taking less than 7MB
sitting in my tray while keeping me up to date on my enormous email

Haven’t had much time to work on jx90.com lately. I bought another domain the day the google RSS went public and created a racing news site later that day. Unfortunately me and several other people have noticed quite a few problems with the RSS and Atom feeds google has supplied so I hope they update them eventually. A few minutes browsing raceslick.com and I am sure you will notice some funky characters here and there. I also revisited my old atomic clock program and made some modifications to it to make it more user friendly. You can now make it startup when the computer starts and have the software attempt to synchronize your clock when it starts. Useful for keeping the computer up to date or synchronizing a network. I will provide a link to the updated copy soon.
