I was reading a blog entry about Firefox 2 RC2 being released, and one commenter said that having "Find" work inside textareas now was the most important thing in the release to him.
That made me very excited since I was the one who fixed that (and it wasn't an easy fix, it probably took me a solid month to figure out), so I tracked down his email address and sent him a thank you note.
Then after I sent it I thought, "hmm, this guy is probably wondering why in the hell I'm writing him..."
Anyone else ever done anything arguably creepy (but unintentionally so)?

Here's some of mine:
1. Rob D - Clubbed to Death (the remix from the Matrix)
2. Fatboy Slim - You're Not from Brighton
3. Spacehog - In the Meantime
4. Gorillaz - 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)
5. Collective Soul - Simple
Obviously I'm mining for other possible suggestions here, and I think we can all benefit. I want a new mix for my 4 mile run tonight.
I also make no apologies for my workout music selection. I know that a lot of the stuff I listen to in the gym is garbage (hello Primer 55 and Puddle of Mudd), but it's chosen because it has a good pace and driving beat.

Well... you could theoretically do one push-up fast enough to create a sonic boom, though you'd probably need mechanical assistance to move upwards at 600+ MPH.
Unfortunately, if the stress of being violently accellerated to super-sonic speeds didn't kill you (it would), you would also have to survive the several-hundred foot fall that would accompany pushing off the ground with such force.
*my apologies for not being capable of giving credit to the writer(can't find or remember who wrote this, but if someone knows, you know what to do)

Our target tonight is the NORTH-EAST (NE) corner of Nichols Mall ( http://redrum.soul-fantasy.net/map.php?menu=goto&coord=59|53 ). Intel reports there are only 30 defenders, which makes it very likely we can establish a beachead tonight. If we clear the square, everybody should finish with 0 AP in the northeast square. As long as we have one standing zombie in the ransacked square, they can't put barricades up again... which means less AP wasted on barricades, and more spent on brains.
We need to take the barricades down as quickly as possible and get everybody inside ASAP. So be sure to constantly monitor the status of the barricades -- if the doors are open, GET INSIDE. If you have Infectious Bite, concentrate on clearing the square first; after it's secure, infect as many people in the other squares as possible. Just be sure you end up reinforcing us in the NE corner once you're at 0 AP.

I shoulda bumped the Anti-Aliasing a bit more though for the screenshots. In game the current level is enough since everything's in motion.
The game caps to uncompressed TGA (which is really cool of them) so they're like 6MB a piece. D:

What is even better is when your two dogs are now aggressive and when you put them in a submissive they try to take it out on you and each other. I've never had my two dogs forget that I am the pack leader until tonight. Good fucking christ that can be scary. Two lean and mean German Shepards jumping and snapping at you at the same time ain't no fun.

Converting my old PC into an HTPC and I bought the HP Media Center Remote Control online, mainly because its sleek and nicer looking than the Microsoft version. However, when I received it in the mail today, it didn't come with an IR receiver... sooo I called HP and asked what the deal was. To the surprise of the guy on the phone, it doesnt come with one (lol), so he refunded me for the whole thing and I got to keep it free of charge.
Now I need to figure out an IR Receiver I can use with it. my ATI TheaterPro 550 came with a crap remote and IR receiver.. can I use the receiver with the HP remote? If not, can I get an internal IR receiver and can someone recommend one that works with MCE remotes? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :O

OK, so who were the morons who were last week saying Kate's not hot and even fat (or was it too skinny?) and shit?
Well, I'm looking at her for a second time this episode and she's hot as fuck and you're still morons.
