Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
It was only a matter of time before the intrusion-style advertisers figured out a way to circumvent Firefox’s pop-up blocker. I noticed pop-up ads showing up on Drudge a while back, after not seeing a single pop-up in the two years I’ve been using Firefox. Apparently Drudge and other websites have been exploiting a feature … Read more
My alma mater has had great influence in the world of high-powered computers. I love news stories that open with paragraphs such as this: Big orange and white cabinets that will form one of the world’s fastest supercomputers for open science research are arriving at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The high-performance units are part … Read more
I just finished upgrading to WordPress 1.5 and it works beautifully (as far as I can tell…). If you have any problems, let me know—I’ve already been banned from the comment section once. All in all, the upgrades look very helpful. I’m anxious to poke around more and see all its expanded capabilities. The upgrade … Read more
Heh heh heh: I’m not going to be able to post anything for the next 4 1/2 hours, so in the meantime, read this.
…but it is just so frustrating. Comment spammers—especially porn-comment spammers—should all be sentenced to life of bondage watching their friends play Texas hold’em on a webcam. I arrived back from out of town to find my blog hit with 1600 pieces of porn comment spam. WordPress’s moderation system got 99% of them, but that still … Read more

Things certainly have been busy, and it’s not likely to slow down until the new … Read more
My brother and I have been trying out Grouper, the new private file-sharing service. We’ve both been impressed. Grouper allows you to share files (much like Kazaa) over a private network with up to 30 members. Right now, we’ve got his computer, my home computer, and my work computer linked in a Grouper network. It’s … Read more
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! We’ll be spending the holiday here in Louisville this year due to some “limited mobility” issues (more news on that later, to be sure…). I’m thankful this year more than ever that Christ is my king and that he guards my steps. I’m thankful for all my family, … Read more
Welcome to version 3.0 of TruePravda! After staring at the three-column layout for eight months or so, I’ve decided to go back to two columns. I think the simplified layout is easier to read, less cluttered, and better looking. I’ll probably do a few touch-up enhancements, but overall I’m pretty satisfied. I’ve extended the layout … Read more
…stuff, that is. If you’re not a subscriber, now’s the time to check out The Wall Street Journal Online Edition, which is free all this week. Also, the Firefox browser turns 1.0 today. As I’ve said before, if you’re not browsing the web with Firefox, you’re missing out. Of course, seeing as how slow their … Read more
