It never ceases to amuse me how people try to argue loopholes they find in the rules.

I got this well-written gem today in my PM box:
Quote:
O com on I found a way around it I didn't write 16 Characters I wrote 15 character which over 16 characters and it doesn't say 16 characters so i don't see the problem.
This is the sort of crap users waste my time with on a regular basis. This was from an idiot upset about his 3 point infraction (you don't get probation until 4 points)....

My wrist feels naked!

Posted 08-14-2009 at 05:35 PM by depp (Depp's Blog of Doom)

Back in high school I used to always wear rubber bands around my wrist. I liked always being ready to shoot someone and fiddled with the things constantly to defeat my school induced boredom. A couple years back I used to wear an elastic black "LiveWrong" bracelet but was never a big fan of these style of things and stopped shortly after I started.

I feel silly wearing rubber bands now in college and have not done it in a long time. Any suggestions on something cool besides a...

Damn you Google Chrome!

Posted 07-28-2009 at 12:30 PM by depp (Depp's Blog of Doom)

I'm developing some new sites and have been having a hell of a time with Google Chrome. I expect trouble from IE, but Chrome?

Every major browser now supports @font-face. Not Chrome. Interestingly Safari, a browser based on the same engine, has done this for quite a while now. Even IE has supported @font-face since IE6! It's been supported in the Chrome betas since January but after 6-7 months it is still nowhere to be seen.

I've also run into a Chrome bug that randomly...

Slight change to Slave/Master script

Posted 07-17-2009 at 11:34 AM by depp (Depp's Blog of Doom)

I've been posting too many feature threads so I thought I might blog this one.

From now on the icon of threads in the Slave/Master section will be the sex of the poster. This should hopefully make browsing a little bit easier and pretty. As new threads are posted the section should start getting filled and look a lot nicer.

I would have never got the idea if I had not added all those spiffy icons

getDare Albums!

Posted 07-07-2009 at 08:52 PM by depp (Depp's Blog of Doom)

The coolest part of the upgrade to me has been the addition of picture albums to user profiles. I love surfing profiles and seeing the pics people post. It's always fun to see what people come up with.

Make yourself more interesting and upload some pretty pictures! Plus, I get sad when I see the picture moderation queue empty.

You can create albums by selecting the "albums and pictures" link in your User CP or by clicking here!

Cockroach in my food at CPK (California Pizza Kitchen)

Posted 06-28-2009 at 01:55 AM by depp (Depp's Blog of Doom)

I've already had a very bad CPK experience in the past but this latest problem takes the cake. I got the Wild Mushroom Pizza along with their Classic Caesar salad. I ate two pieces of the pizza and then dug into my salad. As I was eating it I tasted something strange and looked down into the bowl. Staring back up at me was a dead cockroach.

This is the second time I have had a terrible food experience at CPK. In my first bad experience I got rancid nuts (how is this even possible) on my...

Introducing... The Gender Guesser!

Posted 05-13-2009 at 08:39 PM by depp (Depp's Blog of Doom)
Updated 05-13-2009 at 08:44 PM by depp

This website has a cool algorithm that was the result of a university research project whose goal was to evaluate the gender of an author. It's not 100% accurate but with larger amounts of text it gets scary close most of the time.

Quote:
In 2003, a team of researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology and Bar-Ilan University in Israel (Shlomo Argamon, Moshe Koppel, Jonathan Fine, and Anat Rachel Shimoni) developed a method to estimate gender from word usage. Their paper described a Bayesian
