http://crazed.switzerlan.org Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:04:21 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Ok, seriously, the premise of this show is possibly the worst thing since the Geico Cavemen show. It's so stupid and biased. You can just see it from the crappy little TV spot they had today. Apparently teachers in America are conservative numbskulls and all the youth are bigoted brainwashed ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2007/09/30/aliens-in-america-sucks/ Okay, this time I seriously am going to start doing a "10 things" list every week. This one is what I would do if I were to rule the world. Create a device to move Earth a little bit more away from the sun. This is because I hate summer. I'd ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2007/04/13/10-things-i-would-do/ For those of you that still don't know (which is doubtful, since I've been told by more than one person I've been "blathering" about it), I was on vacation in the Outer Banks for the past week or so. The Outer Banks is a long, but narrow, island about a ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/11/14/vacation-followup/ For those unaware, I've been on vacation ("holiday" for Europeans) for the past week. Fortunately, I have internet access so I'll give a little summary about what I'm doing. I'm in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Pretty cold (and raining) at the moment, but we didn't go down here to ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/11/08/vacation/ I have determined that summer (by that I mean anything not winter) is the worst season ever and should be eliminated from the pantheon of the year. Living in moderately temperate Pennsylvania, which experiences extremes of heat and cold, I cannot imagine how someone in Florida or something can cope ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/10/04/10-reasons-why-summer-sucks/ Since I designed the site, there have been two seperate databases; one for admins on the site, and one for all the other users on the forums. I always intended to merge the two databases (and I don't know why I didn't do it on day 1), and today I ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/09/28/login-backend-switchover/ I've replaced the somewhat-crappy phpBB visual confirmation with a more advanced one from Freecap. It's a lot harder to read, so it should go double for spambots. If it doesn't solve the problem, I'll have to find some better mods. I would make one myself, but I don't have much ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/09/25/freecap-visual-upgrade/ The host's notified us that the router upgrades are complete and they appear to be a complete success. Everything should be working again, but it'll be a tad longer until I get a full "everything's ok" sign. Hang in there and I'll keep you posted. http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/09/14/router-upgrades-complete/ Dreamhost's upgrades Monday night did nothing - initially, the results were promising, but they unfortunately did not last in the long run. Cisco could not even determine the problem, so Dreamhost has ordered brand new routers that boast about 8x the power of their current ones. Dreamhost sums it up ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/09/13/more-server-issues/ I had to repair 3 computers yesterday. Yes, and one of them was my own. Regardless, I swear, the next person who asks me to do some work on their computer is going to get a dirty bomb UPSed to their house. However, the dirty bomb will not be nuclear ... http://crazed.switzerlan.org/2006/09/12/computers-computers-computers/
