Search Engine with a Big Mouth and Matching Booty

MS. DEWEY http://www.MsDewey.com Meet the world’s more sarcastic bitch of a search engine. Technologically, she is a step up from Jeeves, but she is a bit more witty and insulting. This is a search engine for the thick skinned, or anyone willing to learn what searches are safe with his drama queen. Some of my […]

Reinventing the Wheel… Again

Is anyone shocked that this post is not about ceramics? I am straining my brain working on GITI v2 AND GITI SiteEngine’s permissions systems. I feel like this is a system that has been done to death in the form of NTFS, .htaccess, Passport, LDAP, etc, etc; but yet, it is essential that I write […]

Looking for a Good Domain

I am currently working on modifying my personal website (http://curtis.kularski.net) and have decided that my current domain (curtis.kularski.net) is too linked to its upper level domain (kularski.net). I want more freedom from this. Do any of my readers have any suggestions? If someone can come up with a domain that I like enough to use, […]

The Two Most Requested Images

The two most downloaded images from my blog are the following: I don’t get it. I understand the pic of the guys kissing (sort of), but whats with the freaks who are posting the pic of the baguette to their profiles? Today when I started my log excavation project (curiosity&&boredom driven), I started to get […]

Where have all the humans gone?

I was just having a merry little stroll through my HTTP server’s log files, checking up on varying websites I have. I found an interesting, but yet disturbing trend. The most recent visitors (over the past several hours) have all been robots! Not a single human among them! All of the users are either GoogleBot, […]

Illogical Barcodes

Have you ever stopped to look at a barcode and try to figure out what it is trying to tell you? I never did until recently when I started using a barcode reader at home and realizing how confusing barcodes can be. The worst example would be on books. While most of my books in […]

Mastering the Insanity of C++ Compilation

Writing code in C++ is great fun, but that fun can come to a dead halt if you realize you have no good way to compile it. So, what does one do? Well, my first attempt was to connect to a Sun Solaris system to ask it to compile for me, but for some reason […]

First Week in the Life of a Website

During the first week of my website, Clay Mentality, being online I have been monitoring its logs closely. I have watched as the expected visitors (my friends), welcome suprise visitors (search bots) and some unwelcome suprise visitors (unknown IPs, which have already started SPAMing email on the new domain). Last week when I was preparing […]

Why SSI sucks

Why does Single Sign In (Single Sign On) suck? Because its centralized and one broken link kills all! I have been trying to log in to OfficeLive for the past few minutes to work on my website, but because it uses Passport to log in, Passport, OfficeLive and the interacting APIs between them must all […]
