I don’t see it, do you?

January 23rd, 2008 by gambit32

When I first joined up on Paltalk, between people joking about my freakish hair, I was constantly being compared to Michael Imperioli. I never saw it. Not then, not now. It finally died off, I figured it was a fluke.

I got my first haircut today since probably September or August, and I got the SAME thing tonight from a completely different person; someone who WASN’T around for the antics 14 months ago.

I just don’t see it

I do not see it, at all. I won’t argue. But I don’t see it.

Yes, I know I’ve barely touched this place in a while.  THinigs have been really weird and hectic.  I’ll get back to updating regularly soon

January 16th, 2008 by gambit32

List went up this week.  I try to mix things up a bit each year, and I think I replaced about 25% of my list this year.  Ive got a couple of longshots in there, which I hope I’m wrong about… But I’ve got a bad feeling

Don’t run your WHOIS queries through NetSol

January 9th, 2008 by gambit32

Don’t run your WHOIS queries through Network Solutions servers, unless you plan on using them as your registrar. As I’ve known for ages, and the rest of the world finally picked up on, NetSol has been watching domains searched, then INSTANTLY registerring them.

They say this is to allow NetSol customers the ability to purchase them first. The domains stay reserved for 5-10 days then go back into the pool.

C|Net has the full story.  Slashdot and Domain Name News picked it up too.

So if you plan on buying a domain, be ready to drop the money down as soon as you determine its available.

2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

January 8th, 2008 by gambit32

I’ve been trying to avoid doing stupid quizzes since I moved over to the new website, but since I’m seeing this on so many other people’s, I decided it was time to take it myself.  I’m not posting it because I want everyone to see what my results ARE, I’m posting so people can see how my results FALL.

Anyone who knows me will laugh when they see this. In political tests, I always come up as “centrist” with 5% in either direction. As you can see below… I’m coming up centrist, within 5% in either direction, and a sprinkling of both major parties.

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I saw this spread, because it never fails.

54% Ron Paul
53% Mike Gravel
53% Bill Richardson
52% Chris Dodd
51% Joe Biden
51% Mitt Romney
50% Hillary Clinton
50% John Edwards
50% Tom Tancredo
49% John McCain
49% Barack Obama
49% Rudy Giuliani
48% Fred Thompson
47% Mike Huckabee
46% Dennis Kucinich

Transfer Totals for 2007

January 8th, 2008 by gambit32

I finally got around to checking my stats for 2007. I think its safe to say that this is the most I’ve every transferred in a 12 months span.

I don’t know what happened in November to drive usage up to a half terabyte. Most of my media came from other sources, not from transfers at home. I seem to be keeping things this month close to matching Decembers totals, since I’m watching things at about the same rate as they come in. I probably should invest in some more storage.

Slingbox Update #2 from CES

January 7th, 2008 by gambit32

Engadget and Gizmodo both start today off strong with 3 articles each on more upcoming products. Download Squad also has a GREAT article about the new Slingplayer 2.0. I’m so excited over this SlingCatcher, I’m just not happy with the pricing of $249.99 MSRP.
