Where I have been

Yeah. I know. I’m one of the worst bloggers around. I go way too long between posts. It’s because of work, mostly. I’m just so burned out by the time I get home. If speech recognition software was better, I could definitely say my thoughts faster than trying to guide them to my fingers.

Anyways.. I’m on vacation this week. I’m working on an IRC bot for a channel that I participate in. I’ve also been trying out different software. I figured I’d share my thoughts with everyone else. So, to keep them from getting buried in my junk pile of a blog, I’ve created another one strictly for “serious” entries regarding software and technology. It’s Babbling Bytes.

If you want to keep up with either of my blogs, you can subscribe to the RSS feeds. Also, you can follow me on Twitter. My blog updates automatically get Twittered out, and ocassionally I Twitter random stuff.

My South Park character

I found this through sulz’s blog and thought I’d give it a go. This is as close as I could get it to being me.

I wear a polo shirt and khakis to work. None of the khaki colors looked right, so I just went with blue. Overall, it’s close enough.

If you want to generate your own character, you can do so here.

I feel sick now

God almighty! Some people are completely insane! This guy is a raving lunatic.

From Wikipedia:

El Caminito del Rey (The King’s pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to El Camino del Rey.

In 1901 it was obvious that the workers of the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide transport of materials, vigilance and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway lasted four years. It was finished in 1905.

In 1921 the king Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name.

The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter in width over a 700-meter fall, and over time it has lost its handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.

Local government (Junta de Andalucía) has a restoration plan estimated at €7 million.

This is f’ing hilarious! I love it! It’s better than the original. I present to you the death metal version of “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.
