Almost perfect theme

Just when you think you have the perfect wordpress theme, you find something completely disfunctional. I just found out that if I try and use the MORE tag it pushes all my sidebar widgets down to the bottom of the page. Normally I’d try and figure this out and correct it myself, but I am suddenly starting to see a million and one different design choices in this theme that I don’t like and have already begun looking for a new one. Now I’d like something simple that also works perfectly with widgets. Let’s see what I can find.

 

[EDIT]

Actually, I’m tired and I think I’ll keep this theme for a while.

Finally! Sync iPhone with Google Calendar — Seemlessly!

Ok, so I’ve been looking for a way to do this for a long time. I won’t spend time talking about it but rather I’ll just give you details on how to do it.

After doing this you will be able to:

  • Update Google Calendar from the Calendar app on iPhone
  • Have new events appear in your main Calendar on gCal
  • See newly added events on gCal and your iPhone
  • Get your updated Calendar WITHOUT syncing, this is all over the air

NES ROM Editing

So I did a presentation a couple years ago on NES Rom editting and I learned a lot about how to do some simple rom hacking and how old school cheat tools like game genie and game shark worked. Anyway I’ve decided to share the presentation I gave as well as all the resources I used. Everything is totally open. Everything I used to make the presentation below is included in the zip file and I even wrote up a quick little tool in .NET to translate text to dragon warrior tile entries. Anyway feel free to edit it as much as you’d like, but if you do anything cool with it I’d like to know so just shoot me an e-mail or leave some info in the comments.

RIP Phoenix Lander

Nasa says its Phoenix lander on the surface of Mars has gone silent and is almost certainly dead.

Engineers have not heard from the craft since Sunday 2 November when it made a brief communication with Earth.

Phoenix, which landed on the planet’s northern plains in May, had been struggling in the increasing cold and dark of an advancing winter.

The US space agency says it will continue to try to contact the craft but does not expect to hear from it.

RIP Phoenix Lander. Maybe you’ll rise again…
