BlogAn exciting new development in the investigation into Myrone the Gnome's disapperance! Using the
JWEC4000 computer, I was able to interpolate between the 12:05pm and 12:10pm images from the day of the kidnapping. What I found was astonishing! What has been estimated as 12:07pm, we can clearly see
NukieTM from the movie "
Nukie!©TM" stealing Myrone during his regular escapes from stock footage NASA engineers. I can only assume the failure of his movie, and subsequent lack of action figures made him jealous of the Gnome mega star, and the kidnapping was simply a crime of passion. I have enlisted the help of
Tiko and Toki along with the
talking monkey to track down Nukie
TM before his river of snot suffocates Myrone.
While looking at my
webbot report, I noticed the "Netcraft Web Server Survey" webbot. Curious, I searched on google and
found them. Unlike most bots that search content, this bot searches for what serves the content. This allows them to create a sampling
graph representative of market share for various server platforms. They apparently catalog this information since they have my
software history for this server on file. A neat tool to discover what a particular site is (and has) been running on.
The fraternity of my two web gnomes was shattered today at 12:10pm. Myrone the Gnome is now missing in action. Butt the Gnome has been bolted to the handrail ever since he was kidnapped and then returned, having been violated. Myrone, however, had no such protection. His vulnerability was exploited, and his whereabouts are unknown. Having been a kidnapping victim himself, Butt is leading the investigation into his disappearance. If you have any information leading to the apprehension of this perpetrator, please forward it to
buttthegnome@nuclearfusion.org. Below is the evidence accumulated thus far.

I've completed installing a
new photo album engine, and finally got my photos added and organized. I considered creating my own album program, but this one does everything I need (and more) and is written in ASP.net, which I've been wanting to play around with for awhile now. The application is called
nGallery and the author released it as open source, which means I can (and have) tweaked the code. If you spend any time looking at this you'll notice it's sssllloooowwww. My first goal is to optimize the thumbnail creation/caching procedure, then add MySQL support (currently only works with XML and MS SQL). The nice thing about open source is that there are most likely already a dozen or so people working on these changes.
Melissa decorated the
wine rack with some grape lights we got from Costco. At first, we weren't sure where to put them, but this combination is pure genius. The addition of the lights make my previously mundane wine rack, an
extreme wine rack.
Brad: "Why do they keep playing that 'Minds Eye' video?"
Duane: "They play that, then the funniest home video bloopers"
Brad: "Is that all they play?"
Duane: "Yeah, they loop it."
Brad: "Why do they do that?"
Duane: "I don't know, it's what the people want."
Another ridiculous IM conversation involving myrone spawned this photoshop jewel. My
Cougar is now stored in my garage, awaiting spring and until then I have no forced induction to look forward to in the morning. Oh well, I can still beat up my S-10.
Tonight we went to see the
Rogerbox show at I-Rock night club in Detroit. Melissa discoverd the wonders of the backroom, I got to dance in a cage with Duane, and Keith kicked my butt at pool. There was also some guy from New York visiting, I think his name was Ben. Despite the lack of a big crowd, it was definately an entertaining night. The'll be playing again the night before Thanksgiving, and I plan to be there with bells on.
After voicing my recent fascination with first generation Ford Probe GT's, and my potential plan to buy one, we somehow got on the topic of southerners.

Today at work, while I was being a happy coder, I looked outside the window and saw
this awesome sight. The depressing gray clouds had cleared enough to let the last light of the sunset in, creating a surreal world. The entire day was cloudy and gray, but this 5 minute display was worth the wait. I just wish every winter day would end like this.
