Houses are glorious <<-insert will farrell voice here

Houses are glorious

Today marks a day to go down in Chris & Jennie Fay history – we officially closed on our new house! It was a long and marginally painful process, but in the end we landed a great house in a great area, and I couldn’t be more excited to ditch apartment living. We were so excited that we decided to blow a heap of gas [...]

Fix odd characters in Wordpress posts

Fix odd characters in Wordpress posts

I noticed recently that my Wordpress data had some funky characters in almost every post:
Examples:
’
…
After browsing through the posts it looks like those characters represent things like quotations, dashes and double periods. I read through various forums that said this is caused due to the encoding and collation, however after following the recommendations of sites like http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/0…to-version-22/ I was still unable to get rid of [...]

Return of the Floaters

Return of the Floaters

As you are now reading this blog it is apparent that yes, I survived the perils of the Buffalo River. Our minds, bodies, and spirits were brutally tested by the forces of evil, ultimately succeeding fruitfully on the wings of wholesome Jerky Boy’s humor and jerky beef tumors. (what)   
I was not however, spared from a frigid dip in said river. We had come so [...]

Floaters

Floaters

Laughter, dirty river water, canoes, cheesy one liner’s, beef jerky, cold weather, spandex, pink fanny packs, beer, and ticks. 
All of these magical components bundle together in order to serve one higher purpose – canoe trippage. That’s right – I’m embarking on a mystical journey with three other primates into the nefarious jungle in order to heed the man yell grumbling deep within us all. Or, [...]

Token annual post

Token annual post

Well, it’s been a considerably long time since I graced this blog with my presence and felt it necessary to do so today for no reason at all. One year ago, or one year and 2 months to be exact, marks the last posting. I am ashamed, albeit modestly, for such an absence and I plan to make grandiose exclamations of my future attempts to [...]

flubberbubbles

An abysmal combination of neurotoxin feather tear gasses and flabbergasted plum based flack seed oil has unexpectedly resulted in an ever so slight upward fluxation of white supremacistic cannibalism. Trust me, you don’t want that.
On a lighter note, it seems my prospective education has finally come together. Officiality can be stamped upon posting to my first class, but with financial aid approved and all classes [...]

Opteron 165 Dual Core mad Overclocked

Opteron 165 Dual Core mad Overclocked

I recently picked up a new AMD Opteron 165 Dual Core 1.8ghz processor off NewEgg.com to replace my Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2ghz. I was amazed at the cost which ended up aprx $30 less than the 3500 was six months ago, for a dual core no less! These things are traveling at lightening fast replacement cycles! This is a bummer though considering my 939 board [...]
