Reading is Fundamental, yo.

So I just finished Treason's Harbor, the 9th of the 21 Master and Commander books by Patrick O'Brian. Great as usual. I didn't have a copy of the 10th book on hand, so I picked up Snow Crash since I am so far behind the times in reading it. It's quite the page turner. I started it after dinner yesterday and I'm already 160 pages in. It doesn't have quite the detail of Cryptonomicon (but it's half as long), but it pains a picture of this alternate reality so vividly. Good stuff.

What are you all reading?

I made a commit today that i want some feedback on.

http://beautifulpixel.com/assets/yellow-20090616-153720.png

Basically, I have had a hard time reading the majority of replies in threads. The "newness" of replies used to fade from white (new) to gray (old). The trouble is that it only fades that last 10 posts so most of the replies in most threads are hard to read being low contrast against the dark background.

So instead of white -> gray, I am now fading from yellow -> white, so all replies should always be quite visible.

My first try was based on the shack, but the shack doesn't have to care about being browsed outside on a bright afternoon.

You guys dig it?

People who look at animated GIFs:

A single GIF frame contains a "duration", in ms, that it should be shown for. If all frames have a duration of 100 ms, for example, you have a GIF playing at 10 FPS.

Firefox differs from all other browsers on how to interpret these durations. For every other browser, durations <= 50 ms are set to 100 ms. For Firefox, it's durations <= 10 ms. For this reason, some GIFs play much faster in Firefox than all other browsers.

There is an open question about whether Firefox should match everyone else, or whether everyone else should match Firefox. What I want to know is, what is your experience with these? I have posted some informative commentary in the Mozilla and WebKit bug trackers, at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440882 and https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26455 respectively. If you have useful comments, or sites severely impacted by this difference, feel free to share there.

Note: There are completely separate bugs on "Safari 3/Chrome 1 display animated GIFs slower than everyone else" (fixed in Safari 4/Chrome 2) and "Safari bogs down and eats CPU showing animated GIFs" (still a problem in Safari 4, does not affect Chrome). Don't get confused with those.

Shacker Dungeons & Dragons 4E

According to legend, when the gods made war against the primordials at the dawn of time, the battles raged across the cosmos for uncounted centuries. The gods slowly gained the upper hand, successfully imprisoning or banishing many of the primordials. However, this war threatened the very existence of the world, as the primordials who brought it forth from the Elemental Chaos clashed with the gods who sought to fix the form of the world in permanence. In the last days of the war, a new force made itself known in the cosmos: the spiritual expression of the world itself. These primal spirits declared an end to the conflict, asserting that the world would no longer be a battleground for the two opposing forces.

Just got back from Bonnaroo. The awesome hippie vibe from back in the day is practically nonexistent now. They should rename the festival Bonnaruined (see what I did there?). That being said, the music was quite awesome this year.

Phish was amazing on Friday Night
Springsteen was amazing on Saturday Night
Phish + Springsteen was SO FREAKIN' AWESOME on Sunday Night.

Definitely the best headlining set they've ever had. But even though the headliners were so great, gotta say, Ani Di Franco won the festival. Her set was just fantastic. Man, she's rad.

Snoop was pretty cool, too. :) He didn't play much of his newer garbage. Performed a lot of his good stuff from the early 90s.

I reckon this was the last time I attend. Maybe I'll hit up Rothbury in a couple weeks.

So, we have been having some bad storms as of late. Yesterday evening, there were MASSIVE storms all over our humble state. And tonight was no different. As I was driving home with Stalewood and little Rosewood 1 & 2, there were quite the impressive clouds brewing. I, of course, stopped and took some pictures. After I got back in the car, however, I got to thinking (always a dangerous pastime, I know). As I was thinking about all the clouds, and all the amazing things that mother nature does, I had and epiphany. I came to the strong and true conclusion that I Love The Cock.

ATTENTION: Minecraft players

Since I don't believe the Shack has its own Minecraft server, I am taking it upon myself to start a dedicated server. If anyone wants to check it out, it's running right now and can be reached via this URL:

http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=4289ec183477c92570c0fc63259a1283

It is not publicly listed (to minimize griefers).
If this sticks, I'll look into making this a full time thing (along with some other dedicated stuff in the future, but that's still WIP).
