Isn’t that a feature that the world might like? Why do you have to install picasa to download a friend’s web album?

Google, you’re the worst company ever. You’re the queens of doing 85% of something.

EDIT: Thanks to Scabdates, I now am able to use http://picasadl.appspot.com/ to do the job! I still hate Google.

I was thinking it might be nice to have some good knowledge base software implemented for myself, but I’ve played with a few of them that I found (via Google) and they’re terrible!

Can someone write a not horrible, free KB tool that isn’t based on CodeIgniter?! I hate web stuff for this reason.

I considered using Drupal too, I hear that’s got lots of nifty features, but I thought implementing a KB would have little to no learning curve.

This is why I hate working on web stuff.

I figured that was a problem. Turns out one of my users (who’s account I deleted without hesitation) was running a PHP proxy from his ~ directory. Looks like the stupid thing allowed some idiot to download some obnoxious looking perl scripts into the /tmp directory, and execute them repeatedly, while making periodic connections to an IRC server hosted at theplanet’s shitty facilities (which I hope have the chance to explode… again).

Anyway, somebody who I take very seriously told me, very seriously, that I should consider mod_security. So I did. It’s awesome. I’ll never look back.

I know i’ve been super lazy about it, but I’m actually working on code for it right now. The trouble is this: I can’t design !

Anyone who feels like helping out on a new design for imgfixr.com please let me know, and I’d be more than happy to put your name on every page of the site if you like.

Visit the project page if you want to check out the status of things.

Finally something that makes sense. I still can’t figure out how to make the categories not be annoying. But I guess we’ll take things one step at a time ?

Yet another thing to do in my spare time…

I’m running out of that faster and faster it seems.

This wordpress theme will do me just fine for now.
