Categories: Uncategorized

Image via Wikipedia After re-reading gregg’s , it reminded me of something else “dp” related. When I went to license my first car (that I had purchased, with my own money, etc), I went to the BMV, and they asked me if I wanted any special license plate. I asked for a plate stating “DP”, [...]

In an attempt to better understand our readers (like we have any) and the accessibility of our content (via Google and the like), we’ll do a keyword analysis for this blog about once a month. I must admit that the report generated for this past month makes me laugh…a lot. So you’re all aware, the [...]

The Musings of an Intoxicated Asshole

Bell’s Oberon is a great fucking beer. Budweiser products are for sister-fucking rednecks. Dick jokes are hilarious. Jehova’s witnesses aren’t so funny…especially when they ring your fucking doorbell at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning when you’re trying to sleep off a hangover. Dogs are the shit. Cats are for target practice and for testing [...]

This post is just a list of ideas for a Death Envelope. For some reason yesterday, my head was fully engulfed with generating a death envelope, how to keep it secure, and methods of verifying the authenticity of the person requesting said envelope when necessary.

Why is it that people get frustrated when something small goes “nearly” wrong but happy and joyous when something huge goes “nearly” wrong? For example: when a piece of paper nearly falls in your soup, you get angry because of what could have happened; but when on an airplane that nearly has a bad landing, [...]

Recently, I needed to find all of the data in a table that was being used for HTML output, that had non-printable characters. The following SQL statement should do that for you: select id, name from table_name where name not regexp ‘^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ,&;\/<>(²):%*#?$|!+.\"\'-]+$; This code is MySQL specific, but should be applicable anywhere, really.

I’ve been working on getting all of the sites on which I have public profiles compiled together into a list. Currently, the fruits of that effort can be seen in the sidebar of this site. All of those urls should have a rel=”me” attribute on them, so that the social graph is correct, and all [...]

I’ve been on a mission lately to change all of my passwords on all of the sites that I use. To make it easier on me, I’m using KeePassX to generate them, and to store them. When creating these passwords, I’ve been using Upper+Lower+Numbers+Special Characters+Minus+Underline, and a length of 26 characters. I figure this is [...]
