R.I.P. George Carlin

I’m too devastated for words. Yesterday, on June 22nd, George Carlin had a heart attack that ended his life. I can hardly believe it. This has been one of the more influential people in my life, and he will be greatly missed by me. And many people around the world, I can assure you that. [...]

Download Firefox…now!

Today, a new brand-spanking version of Firefox is out. They are trying to set a world record by having the most downloads in one day. It has been dubbed “Download Day”. Not too creative, but that doesn’t matter. If you use Firefox (and everyone should), all you need to do is [...]

Lots O’ Updates! And Aikido

All righty. So, a lot has actually happened since I’ve last posted. Both on this website and in my life. I’ll try to keep this post as short as possible, though. We’ll start with the website first. Take a look around. Everything is organized now! I feel extremely [...]

Stage 6 Is Coming Back!

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, don’t bother reading what I’m about to say. But for those of you felt the profound sadness at the loss of Stage 6, feel sad no more! It’s coming back! No, I’m not yanking your chain, it really is.
However, the service is now [...]

Congratulations Russia + Eurovision Musings

Today was the Eurovision finals. “Tonight” if you happen to live in Europe. It was more or less how I predicted it to be. Russia, was going to win, but I thought Serbia would place a little higher. However, 6th place is still pretty good. Especially considering that Serbia has [...]

Dell Cusomer Service – Holy Crap

It’s now close to 3am, and I should be in bed. I usually don’t stay up this late unless I have something I need to do, or if I was in the middle of something that needed wrapping up. This entire afternoon I have been up restoring my laptop back to the way [...]

Getting Ventrilo To Work In WINE

Let me start off by saying that if you want to support Linux, then use TeamSpeak. But if you’re like me and for some reason you must use Ventrilo, then you’ve come to the right place. Ventrilo can work under Linux using WINE. Quite easily too. That is, if you follow [...]

Clothar the Frank

Finally sat down and decided to review one of my favourite books of all time. The greatest thing about it is that it’s historically plausible. It could have happened. No, this is exactly how it happened. The story is told in a first-person perspective from a character in history we all [...]

The Book of Joby

It’s time for another book review! I actually finished this one about a month back, so this review is a little late. However, putting the tardiness aside, I still remember this book because it was just that good. Even though this was Ferrari’s first book, I wouldn’t have been able to tell. [...]

Canada’s First All-Black School

If you are anything like me, then you did a double take after reading the title of this post. I, myself, still can’t believe it. It seems that Canada is going to get it’s first “all black” school. Now, I’m no racist, but does anyone else see the obvious problems with this?
Canada [...]
