Things that might be decidedly odd....
So first things first… The good news is that I finished my article and uploaded it around 10:30am this morning and I didn’t even have to stay up all night (went to be at 3, then got up at 8 for the home stretch). The bad news is that it doesn’t contain the results [...]
So, last week my domain name expired and the ISP forgot to renew it (even though I had paid to do so already). That caused the site to redirect to some error page. Even after they fixed things, that address was cached in the DNS servers of my cable ISP, which meant [...]
Arg. I keep getting these weird spam trackback comments containing hexadecimal strings. Even though I turned off trackbacks earlier, that appears to be how they’re infiltrating my blog. Anyhow, I’ve totally disabled that script. Annoying for sure. Who writes these things anyways?

Arg. It’s 7:20am and I’m still awake. I spent the better part of the night trying to texture these spheres for my COMP 259 homework. Just as I was almost done, insanity set in: the spheres were rendering with their textures inside out. After much googling, I found some post from [...]
