Welcome!

Welcome to my site. I usually write about technology, such as satellite television descrambling, comparing Linux and Windows, and I also talk about other things when they fit my fancy. I currently have two past articles in 2600, regarding Internet Archeology, as well as Blackhat SEO. I also am interested in collecting SURGE merchandise, and enjoy all things Power Rangers and Super Sentai (see the downloads section!).

KDE3 and QT3 Fixes for Firefox Using gtk-qt-engine
Monday, 11 January 2010
Well, gtk-qt-engine isn't supporting KDE3 in new versions, and most people have forgotten KDE3 and moved on to the piece of crap KDE4. I use KDE3/QT3, and like gtk-qt-engine. I had a few issues with the look of firefox under it, though.

1. The biggest was that radio buttons and checkboxes got whited out whenever I'd click them and they'd be active.
2. The scrollbar's leftmost line didn't render properly, and only drew down the length of the slider..
3. The bottom statusbar was sectionized and thus ugly.

I've written a userscript/userstyle that fixes all of these. I suggest using the firefox extension stylish to use my userscript, but it should work just fine with greasemonkey as well.

Let me know how it works for you!
 
Keep Our Web Free: Stop Rick Boucher's Attack On Internet Ads
Monday, 30 November 2009
Without ads, this site, as well as others like Digg, Facebook, Google, various blogs, and the ever popular cheezburger sites like LOLCats would die.

The bill Rick Boucher is attempting to pass would make it nearly impossible to advertise on websites by making people agree to an agreement before they are advertised to. They don't have to do this with radio, print, or television ads, so why should we have to do it online?

Hindering this would kill the internet as we know it. Please read up on the issue, and sign the petition.

Recent Goings On - Magazine Articles, Linux, SEO, and School
Wednesday, 11 November 2009
     Well, I was unkowingly featured in "Linux Format" issue 124 in a way, as they mentioned my apt-fast script in the article "Make Linux Faster, Lighter, and More Powerful" (linked to page 6 of the article where apt-fast is mentioned). I love the fact that my involvement in the Linux community has been chronicled yet again, as it was back when I was maintaining deb packages for the Ubuntu version of the Zen Kernel.
