MacBros Hats! Get Your MacBros Hats Here!

Friday Jul 18, 2008

Thanks to teeni’s comment, everybody that is registered with the site will receive their very own MacBros Hat!

This is in the spirit of the infamous “Such Kind Words From Hotlinker” post.

I’ll be keeping these hatted avatars for the next week or so and I’ll put everything back to normal when the dust settles.

If you comment and see that you have no hat, just give me some time because I will see it anyway and I’ll upload the right image. It’s just that I don’t know who has what avatar anymore and  I just did the most common ones.

Speaking of common!

I don’t know if you all have noticed, but if you take a look at the left sidebar you’ll notice a Top Commenters Widget there. This displays the top 5 commenters on this site over a 30 day period. This means that day by day, you’re rank could drop or go up any time. It doesn’t refresh after 30 days, it refreshes every day over a 30 day period. So if you want to keep your website link up on the front page for as long as possible, you need to add comments.

With that said, don’t spew out random words to just increase your comment ranking. You’ll just ruin it for the rest of us.

Just thought I would point that out in case you havent seen the FREE linkage widget. If you comment, you get rewarded.

If you were here just before I made the changes, you’ll need to Hit F5 in order to refresh your cache.



Temporary Setbacks

Thursday Jul 3, 2008

You won’t be seeing any video, graphics or anything at least that is colorful in any way.

Why?

My Phillips Monitor decided to die on me. So now I’m stuck using this old CRT monitor who’s color is gone.

I’ll have to ship it off to get repaired. Thankfully it’s only on year 2 of it’s 4 year warranty.

I went to read my e-mail and stuff and couldn’t because the monitor kept turning on and off, over and over, like a flashing light.

I wonder if Other Mac has a spare monitor that’s better than this POS?



Happy Canada Day!

Tuesday Jul 1, 2008

Happy Canada Day Canada! And to all the men and women overseas protecting us so that we all can live our lives in peace here in this great country, thank you and have a great Canada Day too.

I just hope the weather breaks so it can be enjoyed. There’s a lot of thing that are supposed to take place, and the fireworks display is supposed to be one of the best yet.

Frequently referred to as “Canada’s birthday,” particularly in the popular press, the occasion marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. However, though it is regarded that Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date, the British Parliament at first kept limited rights of political control over the new country, which were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were ended in 1982, when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution. Canada Day, thus, differs from Independence Day celebrations in other countries, in that it does not commemorate a clear-cut date of complete independence.

The name Canada most likely comes from a St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata, meaning “village” or “settlement”. In 1535, inhabitants of the present-day Quebec City region used the word to direct explorer Jacques Cartier toward the village of Stadacona. Cartier used the word ‘Canada’ to refer to not only that village, but the entire area subject to Donnacona, Chief at Stadacona. By 1545, European books and maps began referring to this region as Canada.

The French colony of Canada referred to the part of New France along the Saint Lawrence River and the northern shores of the Great Lakes. Later, it was split into two British colonies, called Upper Canada and Lower Canada until their union as the British Province of Canada in 1841. Upon Confederation in 1867, the name Canada was adopted for the entire country, and Dominion was conferred as the country’s title. It was frequently referred to as the Dominion of Canada until the 1950s. As Canada asserted its political autonomy from Britain, the federal government increasingly used Canada on legal state documents and treaties. The Canada Act 1982 refers only to “Canada” and, as such, it is currently the only legal (and bilingual) name. This was reflected in 1982 with the renaming of the national holiday from Dominion Day to Canada Day.

Remember to have beer and drink fun. Plus we need to make good Mojo for perfect weather.

I’ve Got Ideas!

Wednesday Jun 18, 2008

I’ve been trying to decide what to do with my extra free time that I’m so lucky to have now since leaving the other hell hole and I’ve been running quite a few ideas through  my head and I’m having trouble decideing what to do first.

One of them is going to involve a sweet re-launch tune/animation, so get your fingers ready. No ETA on that yet though.

Another one will have to do with you using your guessing cap. It’ll be a welcome return of the series, I’m just not sure of what days to use.

Some may have an idea what I’m talking about, but I don’t want to give away details at the moment.

I just wanted to say how great it is to be able to have this extra time now. I just need to stop wasting it by aimlessly surfing the web not really looking for anything. LOL
