A New WordPress Cult

Frosty — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:46:28 +0000

I know it sounds funny, but I have launched a new web site called “WPCult“. As of right now I am the only author and moderator of the site. Maybe as time goes by and the site takes off I would gladly receive some help from others.

It is just another WordPress tutorial site with Theme and Plugin reviews. I will also showcase some WP sites out there that I enjoy, and further down the line allow site submissions.

I guess the site would be in Beta testing right now, so yes, the site is live, just not complete.

Check it out for your self. http://wpcult.com

DirecTV Update

Frosty — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 03:55:07 +0000

So the fine tech’s at DirecTV finaly did something right, and my HD DVR finally started working right. Plus there are even some new features that are amazing! Well I’m just going to tell you about the one I LIKE BEST.

Ok, so I have a plasma tv, and everything gets burned into the screen! I am always tuning to XM radio via the satellite, and it always leaves the bright yellow XM in the corner and colorful people doing some charlie dance! When the screen saver finally comes on, I hear a good song and don’t know who it is, so I have to click info… well you see when I am going with this.

Any way, the new update now shows the artist, album and title in the screen saver!! Sweet!

Six Feet Under

OOOH, found it, got to go!!

Taking Apart MyBook World

Frosty — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 01:59:35 +0000

Today I had enough! My NAS or MyBook World by Western Digital had a network failure and stopped connecting with my, well.. network!

Thought I will admit there warranty service was good, and had a brand new one shipped out the next day! Problem was that the hard drive was fine and I would have liked to pull the info off the drive and put it onto the new NAS Drive.

I tried using the USB in the back and attaching it to the the old drive, but it would not show up!? For some reason the MyBook Worlds will bot USB connect with each other?! And I know this because I tried it with a separate external Hard Drive I have, and that showed up in the web panel for MyBook.

After many, many attempts and trips to Radioshack for the correct USB cable and trips to PC Mall, for the real correct USB-A Male to Male connector… nothing.

So.. I have knowledge of internal computer parts, and I have built my own computer before, and, so…

I went to work disassembled the new and old MyBook and swapped out the Hard Drives! Presto! My info is safe and available again!

I took a few photos, so check them below..

Stressed

Today was a stressed out day.

Good times in Silverlake

Frosty — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:03:42 +0000

Last night I went to Spaceland in Sliverlake, CA. I had a pretty good time considering I was still taking cold and sinus medicine, which made being at “spaceland” appropriate, lol. But I went to see my friends band Night Horse, I got there as they were already playing, and seemed to be good performance. It was the first time I saw them live, and other than being to loud in the club, I think they did a good job.

But the band that closed the night really caught my attention. Graveyard, all the way from Sweden! And no they were not a heavy death metal band like their name sounds, and most bands from Sweden. I would highly recommended checking them out if your into Rock, 70’s, Indie or Melodic Rifts!!

Wii Midnight Bowling

Frosty — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:36:28 +0000

I just downloaded the Midnight Blowing game on the Wii Console. I was a huge fan of the Wii Sports bowling game.

I must say that it is fun, but not as cool the way you interact with the Sports bowling version. Your “through” on Midnight Bowling depends on the ball and the character you choose. In the Wii Sports version your bowl is on how you swing your arm and how you hold and tilt the Wii control.

Anyway, fun, but not as cool.

I’ve got Wii Arm

Frosty — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:38:21 +0000

I started playing my Wii again, after a 8 month break. And I think I got into the tennis tournament too hard, my arm is soar!
