Comment SPAM!

February 2nd, 2008 at 12:38 pm by stevestuff in Blogging

SPAM! I was wondering if it would get worse, and today I go to post a new blog just to see I have 55 comments to moderate. All of which are spam. Why do these guys wish waste their time and my time? Do they actually get their span posted to blogs that allow this? Guess they use a software program, but still - just how productive can this actually be?

I was about to post their e-mail addresses, but why give them more publicity? At least I moderate all comments, so they don’t end up ruining my blog. Now, back to publishing a new post.

VISTA SUCKS!

January 12th, 2008 at 12:29 pm by stevestuff in Computors, Kings of the Internet, Vista

Can anyone relate?

I have finally become totally frustrated with Microsoft’s new operating system, Vista, and am about to UPGRADE to Windows XP Professional.

So, why am I upset with Vista?

1) Today I needed to make an animated gif file for a client and my Adobe Illustrator wouldn’t load the required files. So i say, OK; I can find a program on the internet that I can use. WRONG!! After downloading several freeware and shareware programs, I could not get any of them to work. They were NOT COMPATIBLE!

2) I also purchased a student copy of Microsoft® Office Ultimate 2007 from theultimatesteal.com. What a buy - only $59.95!! Oh gee, guess what? The program wouldn’t install. Heck, it wouldn’t even open! I went to Microsoft Help, got a half-way fluent technician to resolve this problem, and that failed also.

3) Over 1/4 of a million websites agree: Personalized Results 1 - 20 of about 278,000 for VISTA SUCKS.

4) See these YouTube videos:
VISTA SUCKS,
When will Vista Die?
Video with lyrics changed, “Start Me Up”

Can you relate?

IE8 Passes Acid2 Test, Web Standards Project Dies of Shock

January 4th, 2008 at 08:25 pm by stevestuff in Kings of the Internet

The first browser to support the Acid2 test was Safari 2.0.2, back in November 2005.

Since then, iCab and Konqueror have announced their own support. The current beta of Firefox 3 comes close, but isn’t there just yet. With this announcement, it looks like Internet Explorer may actually beat it to the punch!

Back to blogging

December 18th, 2007 at 05:15 pm by stevestuff in Blogging

Back to Blogging

Been a few months -

… since I’ve added content here. So either I’ve been too busy or I’ve lost interest; which is it? Mostly too busy, but yes, I have lost some interest.

Makes me wonder: with all the blogs out there, most of them focusing on one topic, just what is it that makes some get read, and others to be ignored. And why do these ignored bloggers keep writing? Maybe they are interested in web logging (the definition of a blog).

~ I think for a blog to be popular, most of the better writings are intended for self satisfaction, with the author combining wit with words. The more popular blogs are also about current events, politics, and leadingly (new word), about female models. But yes, many are also about webmastering.

Yea, lately I’ve been quite consumed by this future career I’m provoking … trying to brew up a bit of web design business while still deficient in full knowledge, especially dynamic content. I’ve also been discovering that to learn this programming stuff for making dynamic page content is not all that easy to come by, even at the college I attend. Seems that a programmer can earn at least double that of a programmer teacher. But now, Bates Tech has finally found Judith Graham.

NOT A GEEK - NEED TO LEARN PROGRAMMING

Judith is about to revise the C# classes so there won’t be so many drops and incompletes. The 1st thing she realized was the high-tech text book that was leading only the already competent students. That will be replaced as well as previous instructor’s monotone lectures. IE: there is still hope for me.

So basically, my recent exploitation into web design has rendered me feeling incompetent, confused, and disabled. Fortunately, I publish another blog, my humor blog, that does not promote disregard. I have lots of interest there and time willing, I add posts.

What am I trying to say here - what am I trying to prove?

I have so many interests, I am so diversified, that I have difficulty focusing on everything I am involved with. I could go on and display all my interests - that would take several posts. Basically, I enjoy searching for what’s new, what’s different, and what’s strange. I enjoy composing design, arranging composition, and enhancing graphics. I feel inspired when I can elaborate on ecstatic, notable, exciteful, and inspiring content. If I would ever have to deal with a project that didn’t command my creative mind, I would truly be at not.
