Greasemonkey vs. Website
I made a pretty normal trip to jlist (an online shop selling all manner of things Japanese) and for some reason thought: I bet I could change this store layout with Greasemonkey! With a couple of hours of fiddling, I had managed to create a script that took their HTML and mangled it to my [...]
Installing Danbooru
I noticed a couple of searches for ‘running danbooru’ in my search phrases for this site, so I decided to post a little bit more about that. I assume someone searching for this was actually searching for help with installing danbooru. Admittedly, I had some difficulty with it. For one thing, I’d never used psql [...]
Freaking Bioshock!
Gah! I finaly got my Steam-purchased copy of BioShock to work. If you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7 and use a Realtek High-Definition Audio device and Bioshock crashes at startup: update your driver to the latest version from Realtek’s site. Additionally, you may or may not need to enable the ‘stereo mix’ recording device [...]
Coming update to the Touhou Music Database
Alrighty, I finally tracked down a link to v.06 of the Touhou lossless music collection so there should be an update once I get off my lazy hind-quarters and load all the cuesheets from it into the database. (Probably the end of the month) Update: A link to the DB can be found here: http://touhoumusic.rrbits.com/
PHP: Random Password Oneliner
I am exceedingly lazy, so I made a one-liner random password generator. How it works: Creates an md5 from a random string, packs this into binary representation, base64 encodes that, strips some of the characters used by base64 (most importantly the = that are typically at the end), and then limits it to 8 characters. [...]
Touhou Music Database
I’ve created a new project, which I’ve dubbed the touhou music database. Well, it doesn’t actually contain the raw MP3 files or anything, however. I collected the track listings of over 1200 touhou music/remix albums and entered them into a database. Given the name of a song, you can find what albums it can be [...]
My absence
Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been working on a pretty large project that has eaten much of my time. Posting should be a little more regular in a couple of weeks, and I should plop in some new stuff soon.
Easily import sitewide comments – WPMU
One of my work responsibilities is the administration and development of a WordPress MU installation, Puget Sound Blogs. Someone suggested adding a feed of the most recent comments onto the front page, but obviously this isn’t terribly easy to do with WPMU, unless you have the sitewide comments plugin. http://wpmudev.org/project/Sitewide-recent-comments Now the problem with this [...]
Ubuntu 9.04 With Compiz
It seems most appropriate to post my screenshots of Ubuntu Linux 9.04 with Compiz-Fusion right now right after replacing Windows 7 Beta 7000 with it. I went through and turned on quite a few custom effects, including my windows burning up when they are minimized or restored. I suspect that it’s having all these animations [...]
phpBB 3.0.4 doesn’t install when…
In my testing to get phpBB 3.0.4 to install correctly with PHP 5.3.0RC2, I finally found the culprit causing it to abort during the requirements phase of installation!
