As I look at the HTML/CSS that makes up the blogger layout it amuses me how complex this markup has become. When I first started playing around online one of the first things I picked up was HTML. At the time WYSIWYG editors were crap, and there was some pride in writing out the basic HTML in notepad and later with VI. Now it seems so complex and new. Maybe the difference is how little I care to learn about it. Last time I made a webpage I used tables for layout with nested tables in those tables, it was a mess.

TL;DR: Get off my lawn.

I am taking advantage of the new designer to make my blog into the ugliest thing I can. Every time I try to change the font to Comic Sans firefox hangs, stupid hipster browser would rather lock up than be uncool.

Word to the wise:

If you are running rsync in deamon mode and your transfers are failing and you know space isn't an issue, change the timeout setting in rsyncd.conf to some stupidly large number.

Rsync for me kept failing with a protocol error on files over 100GB on a gigabit LAN until I changed the timeout from default to a crazy high number now it mirrors like mirroring is going out of style.

Dear Adult Swim,

Please stop.

Delocated, Childrens Hostpital are not funny. Please stop. I hate them, please stop.

While Childrens Hostpital is far more funny than Delocated it is still awful.

Yours,
Me.

P.S.

Stop playing King of the Hill, it has always sucked.

I'm happy. How funny is that?

(10:54:32 AM) Zombie: I need to write a program that when launched pings a host, if that host is up it will launch a program, and keep pinging the host, if the host becomes unpingable it should kill the launched program and quit
(10:54:46 AM) Garth: why for
(10:55:08 AM) Zombie: i have 4 IP-KVMs that use VNC to show the desktops
(10:55:38 AM) Zombie: but when the PC attached to the KVM shuts down the VNC program just sits there with whatever last update it has
(10:55:44 AM) Zombie: VNC doesn't close
(10:55:57 AM) Garth: wait i don't understand what all that means
(10:56:03 AM) Garth: what's a vnc
(10:56:13 AM) Garth: virtual something
(10:56:17 AM) Garth: very nice chimpanzee?
(11:04:39 AM) Zombie: virtual network computing
(11:05:21 AM) Zombie: you install a VNC server on a computer, and from any other computer you run a VNC viewer and you can use the computer remotely
(11:05:28 AM) Zombie: either on a LAN or over the internet
(11:05:38 AM) Zombie: its like RDP, or ICA
(11:06:29 AM) Zombie: but I have a piece of hardware that you plug the keyboard mouse and video into from a PC and then it automatically makes a VNC server
(11:09:18 AM) Garth: ok i believe i understand
(11:09:24 AM) Garth: so the chimp is in another room
