How to Play the Hammer
July 29, 2005 – 1:50 pm
I’ve never met Grubby, never talked to him, and never chatted with him, but I think he’d be proud of the way I played the hammer in the following hand…
Wireless Mouse on the Fritz
July 28, 2005 – 10:02 pm
Almost every night lately my wireless mouse goes nuts. The optical light or whatever you call it starts blinking non-stop, which makes the cursor jump across the screen whenever I try to do something. It’s as if it’s getting a constant signal from something else in the area. Anyone have any ideas?
nofollow is BAD for the Internet
July 27, 2005 – 1:11 pm
If you run a WordPress site, I highly suggest installing the Dofollow plugin. If you don’t, you’re hurting the legimate commenters on your site.
Keep Me Signed In Damnit!
July 27, 2005 – 12:02 pm
I wouldn’t expect something like this from eBay, but their checkbox doesn’t work worth a shit. I’m prompted to enter my username and password at both eBay and Half more times than I care to count.
Google Adsense Flickering Fix
July 26, 2005 – 6:36 pm
I don’t know how long I’ve been bothered by the Firefox problem with Google Adsense ad blocks. I’m sure you know what I’m referring to. While a web page is loading all you can see are Google ads flickering across the page. Or you’re on a site and when you move the mouse over a [...]
Gmail and IE Disagree
July 26, 2005 – 12:45 pm
Accessing Gmail with IE has been pretty slow lately. It appears as if Google hates Internet Exploder just as much as the rest of us.
Review: Million Dollar Baby
July 26, 2005 – 12:41 pm
One of the best movies I’ve seen in quite some time. Million Dollar Baby deserves every award it won last year. Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hilary Swank put on one hell of a performance for this one.
The movie teaches a great lesson about life…even when it appears as if we’ve lost, sometimes we’ve achieved [...]
Review: Deception Point
July 26, 2005 – 12:20 pm
Dan Brown wrote another great book with Deception Point. I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading it and ended up finished all 550+ pages in a few days. That’s pretty good for me. I’d have to say that this is my second favorite (to The Da Vinci Code) book by Brown.
I’m not [...]
The Real Meaning of Windows Vista
July 24, 2005 – 11:30 pm
The real meaning of Windows VISTA? Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans, Adware.
Moved
July 24, 2005 – 5:42 pm
It looks like the server move is complete. MDV, 2HC, and PCT are all hosted at DreamHost now. Please let me know if you notice anything behaving badly. I’m extremely happy with DreamHost so far. I’ll post more about my experience later. 2HC has a new design, which I whipped up this morning. Updates to [...]
A Few Site Updates
July 24, 2005 – 5:29 pm
It appears as if the server move is done. Let me know if you notice anything out of place or not working correctly.
The logo contest at Poker Chip Tricks has ended. I’ll be working on a new design for that site. Hopefully sooner than later. The winner, Daragh Wallace, also created a new logo set [...]
7 Times
July 24, 2005 – 12:23 pm
I just finished watching Lance Armstrong win his 7th Tour de France in a row. In my opinion, the TdF is the most difficult sporting competition in the world and Armstrong is the greatest athlete of our time. Winning this race seven times in a row was unthinkable. Lance did it after surviving cancer, which [...]

July 23, 2005 – 12:39 pm
I’m moving the site over to DreamHost. Watch out for falling HTML and PHP.

Cheap Web Hosting
July 22, 2005 – 5:22 pm
Get web hosting from DreamHost for less than $10 for the first year. Simply use promotion code 777 when you order. I’ve been told that the promotion is over, so I’ve setup a new code. Use promotion code MDV2 and receive discounts on any hosting package through DreamHost.
This applies to their “Crazy Domain Insane” package [...]
