Do any other people using Firefox 1.0.7 have any problems with the newest Adblock Extension (0.5 d2 build 39) and the newest Flash Player (8.0.22.0 from 9/12)?
When Adblock is on, ALL flash on the internet disappears whether it’s blocked or not. If I disable blocking ads, then flash things work just fine. Seems like adblock needs to be updated to account for that problem.
check out my fancy new xbox live gamer profile.
i also stuck my mini gamercard over on the right.

Hell yeah!
Mike told me about this yesterday and the press release went up today - Stephen King is working with Marvel Comics to create an original comic book based on the Dark Tower.
There’s some sample art up at www.marvel.com/king which looks pretty god damn awesome.
The first issue comes out in April, and the first 6 will be collected into a hardcover book for the Holidays next year.
oops, forgot to set this to “published”
sorry i’ve been silent as of late. i’m kinda busy what with the xbox 360 going on sale in 26 days.
i was gonna just go to bed, but my ears are ringing to the point where sleeping is a bit difficult, so i thought i’d say hello.
i just went to the Foo Fighters / Weezer concert. First off, when a concert ticket says 7:30, that isn’t when the show should start, that’s when the doors should open. Though i didn’t really care, the guys I went with were annoyed that they missed Hot Hot Heat beacuse we got there at 8:00 since we had seats and didn’t think we had to show up when the doors opened, which we thought was 7:30.
Weezer was good, i liked them more than i thought i would. mark alex and eli were there to see Weezer. I’ve always liked the songs they get on the radio, but the ones I didn’t know were still enjoyable. Even though Weezer is basically geeky pop, the do know how to rock out, which i was pleased with. For the encore, Rivers walked out to the far end of the floor (it was at the Key Arena, basketball) to a small stage set up and played Island in the Sun, which was neat. After that, they picked a guy out of the crowd who played Undone-The Sweater Song with them, which made his day. probably the coolest thing to happen to him all year.
The Foo Fighters were who I went to see, and they were really good. loud guitar heavy rock, the way i like it. despite owning only one foo fighter’s album, the new one i knew most all the songs they played except 2. dave grohl likes to scream really loud too. i think he scared off two of the indie rock loving people i came with, mark and eli left around 10:40. alex headed out at 11:00 cause it was getting late and he had to sleep, which may have been smart on his part since the show didn’t end until 11:45. it was a good time all in all, i’d see either band again. kind of a strange mix of music, geek rock with loud guitar rock, but i had fun.
got a few more concerts coming up - this saturday i’m going to freak night 9 at quest field, a big electronic music thing, paul oakenfold and the crystal method are going to be playing or DJing or whatever. Anna’s dragging me to they might be giants in a few weeks, who i’m pretty sure i won’t love. i’ve got citizen cope next friday which will be really good, he was excellent at Bumbershoot. and liz phair sometime in mid november, i think.
well, the ringing is beginning to subside, i guess i’ll try to sleep through it. i need to get rest anyway, i’ll probably be at work until 11:00 pm tomorrow night. damn you people who want things to “work correctly” and “not crash.”
that’s all.
ryan cabrera looks like an idiot.
Remember Jack Thompson? The crazy lawyer who hates video games and thinks they are the spawn of Satan?
Well, the National Institute on Media and the Family just wrote him an open letter, copies of which were sent to Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, and Doug Lowenstein telling Jack Thompson to stop saying that he has some link to the NIMF as they feel that his ranting and raving and attention grabbing tactics are a negative influence on their organization as a credible scientific research facility.
Also Gabe (mike krahulik) of Penny Arcade sent Thompson an email telling him that the Child’s Play Charity had raised over half a mililon dollars for children’s hospitals in the last 2 years. Thompson yelled at him for 2 minutes and hung up.
Seriously Jack, you’re fucked in the head, just stop it.
well, i just upgraded to MovableType 3.2.
was relatively painless, mostly an overwrite of all the old stuff. the upgrading of the existing content took about 10 seconds and as far as i can tell works just fine.
i’ll mess around with it some more later. it’s supposed to have some anti-spam stuff built in that is pretty good. mt-blacklist was having some issues and i was getting 10+ spam comments a day, so i figured i’d see how the upgrade was. so far so good…
Update: in the 5 hours since i upgraded the built in MT spam filter has already caught 18 spam comments
