    Goofy adsense values

    by  • 4/13/2005 • geek • 2 Comments

    This Googlest list has got to be kidding; there are no keywords in the top ten related to cheap Canadian medications, Mary Kate Olsen, or anything else that it would appear people are searching Google for. Instead, this site suggests that the top ten high paying keyword combinations involve “yahoo” and “domain” pretty highly. I [...]

    Microsoft Sues Kid: you might be surprised who won…

    by  • 4/13/2005 • geek • 0 Comments

    For the past four months, Zamos has been fighting four high-powered attorneys. They claimed he violated trademark and copyright laws by selling two unopened pieces of software on eBay for $203.50. Cleveland lawyers Robert Chudakoff and Edward Simms, along with San Francisco lawyers Roy Bartlett and Cameron Alston, allege that the sale cost Microsoft hundreds [...]

    Root canals and job interviews

    by  • 4/13/2005 • geek, life • 0 Comments

    I didn’t try to ace an interview this morning, but somehow managed to. I showed up in jeans and a tshirt; they were both black and clean though. Wearing scuffed up Doc Martins, and carrying a coffee cup and a backup with punk patches all over it and still got the contract; in a government [...]

    Server Racks for Sale

    by  • 4/10/2005 • geek • 3 Comments

    Anyone in need of some seriously heavy-duty server racks? I have a couple super-heavy duty shelving systems that were just removed from a server room. I only have one that is a screw-mounting rack that you can screw “standard” rails and rack mountable cases to, and it’s a double-wide unit with tempered glass doors. Any [...]

    Huge Blue Wall

    by  • 4/9/2005 • art • 0 Comments

    I’m a big fan of this piece; it’s one of the biggest single pieces I’ve found here in Vancouver that was relatively accessible, but I only had enough to piece together the bottom half… there’s a ‘second storey’ to the piece that is visible in some other photos in the gallery. The big version of [...]

    Studio space potential…

    by  • 4/8/2005 • art • 0 Comments

    I have NO idea what the utilities cost would look like on a space like this, but 2000 square feet for $2000 isn’t too bad, especially with front retail space and alley loading dock. I’ll have to go take a look, see what kind of shape it’s in, maybe get an idea of utilities. Gas, [...]

    Coolest Craigslist Hack Ever.

    by  • 4/8/2005 • geek • 2 Comments

    I was under the impression that this little hack would have all the Craigslist locations included, but surprisingly, Vancouver, BC isn’t a valid choice here. Check out the integration of Google Maps and Craigslist rental ads. Sort by price, location, features, and know where the apartments you want actually appear in the city. This is [...]

    Shaw service at its best.

    by  • 4/7/2005 • geek • 0 Comments

    I have a Shaw “SOHO” account that includes a “business” cable modem connection with 50GB of transfer, includes cable TV, and includes really shitty service. I just called in to have some channels removed from my lineup, and I’m told by Wayne the customer service person that he can’t do anything for me, and that [...]
