Live Blogging the Election, On Twitter

I will be live Blogging my reactions, feelings and just overall being a smart mouth on twitter.

You can follow me, by going to my twitter page, by going here.

I will also post things of interest here, throughout the evening.

Ooops!

Your Host earlier
your host earlier

You might have noticed that the Blog went away for a little bit earlier.

No, Liberals did not hack into the Blog.

Yours truly attempted to download and install a beta version of WordPress. The install went fine. it was when I opened my Blog in a browser, I got the dreaded 500 error, which is an internal server error! Yikes! 😮 😯

I think it had something to do with a file in my host directory being not writable or something.

Luckily for me, I did a FULL system back up of my current install. Whew! I didn’t lose anything, at all, this time.

Anyhow, I think I’ll do what everyone else does, wait till the damn general release comes out, THEN I’ll play with it! 🙄

Anyone got a dunce cap, that I can barrow? Anyone?

Update: Oy, I even tried a second time. I dunno what the hell is wrong. I tried asking over in the Wp-Testers and best they could do is suggest commenting out some code in the new version. So, I said, “Fuck it!” and ended up doing a reinstall from Fantasico and upgraded back to 2.6.3. Needless, to say, I don’t agree well with Beta versions. Arrrgh! It’s enough to make me want to Punch a damn hippie! 😡 Needless to say, no more filly fartin’ around with the blog! Back to blogging! 😀

My video to Scribefire tech support

Before someone else finds it and I become the next new big thing…

It’s a video of me, trying to explain to Scribefire Tech Support, that their program is not working properly. As you can see, I’m not the greatest video director in the world. The video was shot on a Kodak EasyShare C613

Hey, it’s not Pajama’s Media, but it’s a start. I think. Tongue 

Cool new program

It’s not everyday that I try stuff that other people recommend. But in this case. I made an exception.

Captain Ed over at Hotair.com reported that there is a nice RSS reader out called RSSOwl. Now, most RSS readers that I have tried, I’ve ended up tossing, usually because the idiot that designed it, usually did not have people like me in mind. Well, it seems someone out there had bloggers like me in mind. (for a change!)

The reason I grabbed it. Is because iGoogle recently turned into a big smelly bucket of SUCK! In English, that means that they redesigned it, and I hated it.Sick (Hee hee)

Anyhow, so, if you’re a RSS reading maniac like me. Give RSSOwl a whirl.

Now, because I’m honest. I’ll give you the stuff that I don’t like about it. It has no installer. You pick where you want to run it and it goes there. Some people need installers. I don’t, but some do.

Other than that. It’s a great program. Big Grin

I can guess that you know what I’m up to here for a little while. moving RSS feeds from iGoogle to this RSS reader. It’s not hard, just time consuming! Waiting

iGoogle Changes Design and your host is NOT happy about it.

Why do people have to dink around with stuff that works fine the way that it is? I dont know

I happen to be a very big user and fan of iGoogle which is basically a place where you can drag in RSS feeds from all over the place and put them in one spot and categorize them.

I happened to click over on it today and they changed the design of iGoogle.

…..and I HATE it! Angry

As in, when I first saw it, I seriously thought my damn browser was messed up!

As in, that I hate this damn redesign with the hottest fires in the Devil’s HELL kind of hating it! AngryDevilAt wits end

Sure enough, I was over looking at the official Google Blog and sure enough, they’ve been messing around with it.

The tab on the left, Awful! now, when you click on a story in that tab, you get a full display of that feed, it looks like Google reader, and I HATE GOOGLE READER! This is why I don’t use it!

So, the message to the guys at iGoogle is this; Gents, your design looks like SHIT! Please, either revert to the old design and come up with something better or something, please! This new SHIT SUCKS DONKEYBALLS! Move the damn tabs BACK TO THE TOP! Make where you can have multi-layers of tabs, Sheesh! How the fuck hard is that?!?!?!

Another Drop the fucking Google reader look, the old look was SO MUCH BETTER!

That is all! ARRGH! AngryAt wits end I hate when people mess up stuff in the name of PROGRESS! Angry

Yes, I know about the Sarah Palin e-mail scandal

Yes, I know about the email story. No, I’m not quoting it or putting any of those pictures here. As it might cross into legal issues, and quite frankly, jail sucks.

There’s a little funny story behind my finding out about it.

As a Blogged about earlier, I had to attend a memorial service for my Dad’s Sister, who died on Sept 10.

Well, that few hours, turned into about a 5 hour event and seeing I was living on about 4 hours sleep, from like the previous evening. I was dog tired.  Hell, if someone would have told me that the Russians were firing nukes at the United States, I would have most likely have told them, that as long as they didn’t land in my bedroom, I didn’t honestly give two flips, as I was tired and going to sleep. Needless to say, my bed was looking mighty fine by the time I made it back home.

Anyhow, I finally awoke from my slumber around 7:30, Hell, I slept through a Pizza delivery. I never sleep through a pizza delivery, ever.

So, anyhow, I woke up, put my glasses on, and got my pizza slices out of the microwave, and I took a bite and opened my news source and this story was the headliner. I nearly choked on my pizza! 😯 😮

Now I said all that to say all this. My reaction to this story is….. Well, basically, Yawn and if you’re a big time Government person like Palin, Why the hell would you use a web e-mail service like yahoo anyhow? That just doesn’t strike me as very smart at all.

I mean, The Republicans are trying to run this narrative that they’re so much better than the Democrats. Needless to say, this is not helping further that narrative at all.

You can follow the story and see the opinions at Memeornadum and TechMeMe. Me? I’m going back to bed. I need more sleep. 😛

Powerful Video

I do wonder if the Obama campaign has seen this or not.

(H/T to Blogwonks)

…..However, I will be fair enough to point out the mistakes.

The Bush Administration admitted that the intelligence that the Bush Administration had, in the leading up to the war, was flat out wrong. Not to mention the “Cherry picking” and stifling of evidence and contrary opinion that surfaced during the lead up the war. Which, in the opinion of this writer, is nothing more than abject fascism.

While I am smart enough to know that this video was not made by the McCain campaign. It does ring at the certain heart string of the American people. However, factually this video falls on it’s face. I agree that the men and women who died in this war, did so believing that they were doing the right thing. However, it does not excuse the fact that mistakes were made. Further more, this video comes across as using our United States Military as some sort of political prop. Which I feel is absolutely sickening.

While this video may be powerful in image and in message. I believe it is a brazen attempt to smear Obama as unpatriotic and inferring that Obama hates our Military persons. That, I am afraid is a bogus lie. I assure you, that if Obama was as nearly as uncaring of our Military personnel as this video infers, he would not even be in the race at all. Because middle America would have never elected him the early primary, if he would have come off as uncaring towards our Military in the primary.

I just do not believe that people are going to buy the subtle message being inferred in this ad, at all. Perhaps in 2004, or even in 2000. But not this time. The country has shifted too much to the left. This because of the many scandals, missteps, and outright blunders by the Government in the last 8 years.
