I know why people host WordPress on their own websites

While I’m grateful for the free wordpress account, I think people want more flexibility (i.e. add-ins) than they can get with the hosted (free or paid) sites.  For now, FUBI will continue to be hosted here, but in the future, I may consider moving it to a different URL.  Keep that in mind (both of you readers

Olive Garden Birthday Song Revealed

Well, it took a couple of days, but I finally found out that the music behind the Olive Garden birthday song (Buona Festa) is actually called “Feniculi, Fenicula” and it comes from a musical written in Italy during the late 1800’s.  Apparently, you can find it on YouTube with a performance by Pavarotti.  My son can now stop calling it the “Kriketskibar” song and bug cleanup in the house will take on a more mundane sense.  Oh, the shame of it all

Video On Demand links

Okay, I was talking with Rob in the office today and I realized, I haven’t included a lot of links since I just expect people to go out and get their own links.  At the risk of being redundant, I use the following two links for video-on-demand:

• http://www.hulu.com (actually you can use www.openhulu.com to avoid needing a membership, but the content is more limited and I encourage everyone to use the system.)
• http://www.joost.com - This is a separate application that you use to view flash video.  We used this one to watch a Star Trek episode called “A Piece of the Action” when our kids were going to do a 1920’s-era murder mystery.  My wife was also happy to watch the pilot episode of MacGuyver, too.
• http://movies.aol.com - Okay, this one isn’t really video-on-demand in the same way, but they did have some cool videos (include the aforementioned MacGuyver video and some old Bugs Bunny video)

Enjoy,
Fred

Thinking about the Wii Fit

Here’s the link:

It seems intriguing….

It turns out you *can* open eMessage6 and campaign 6 in Firefox

I added a Firefox extension called “IE Tabs” and it works pretty well.  I really prefer Firefox to IE, and I guess that the IE proxies inside the tab.  Tres chic!

Having problems with eMessage6 and AREA tags

I don’t know if anyone else is having these kinds of problems, but I wanted to insert an offer into an AREA tag and it doesn’t work like it does in eMessage 3.7.1.  Previously, we could simply replace the href with the emessage tags; however, now that they have completely replaced the anchor tags with new tags, I don’t think I can simply replace the HREF with the content in the custom tags.  Inquiring minds want to know….

Hey a new theme!

I needed to change themes in order to add the sidebar. I’m not sure if I’ll stick with this theme, but it’s a start.

I need to figure out…

I need to figure out a way for all of my feeds to show up at my WordPress. Things like Twitter, Delicious(?). Anything else needs to be able to be on my WordPress page. I’ve sent a tag a lot(?) from Life Hacker(?) articles as well. I’d like those to show up as well. listen

Linux on Windows

Going to try this one on my PC at work:
http://lifehacker.com/358208/seamlessly-run-linux-apps-on-your-windows-desktop

Allows me to “seamlessly” (or Shamelessly) share apps b/n linux and Windows.  I don’t know if it’s going to be better than using Synergy between my WinPC and LinPC, but it’s worth a try.  Productivity FTW.
