mmm hmmmm LOL


Is bioengineering this far advanced?

In 2003 Human DNA was successfully combined with rabbit (and
other animals), to create successful Chimera Hybrids. Read
National Geographic for more information


Be sure to watch FullMetal Alchemist before purchase. ;)  Alchemist’s Stone included with purchase of two or more pets when you mention this wordpress blog

I’ll wait for genetically engineered kittens:  never age, always cute, always clumsy.  When they learn too much?  Inject InstanCute ™.

who will backup backup my blog?

is hocking a service for noobs to easily create daily block backups.  Read their TOS; its very entertaining.  You agree to pay them in advance and that backupmyblog doesn’t actually have to provide relaible backups, doesn’t actually have to perform backups, isn’t responsible for losing all backups, and will not compensate you in any way for any kind of failure.

Wow… that’s about as useful as not backing up a all… maybe slightly more useful.. possibly, but then maybe not.

This is not for flavor hosted blogs.  This is for flavors you’ve installed on your own host.  Now, this is where the true frivolity sets in.  If you’re hosting it yourself you can just as easily CRON DB backups yourself FOR FREE, either locally or offsite… or even to your office/house FTP.

And my blogger account already has similar functionality built in (absent from wordpress.com):

I already regularly backup SagaciousHimself and Himself this way

firefox and the new hotmail

Filed under: Beta, Geeky goodness, Software Review, Webmail — Sagacious Himself @ 9:47 am

Yes, the new hotmail interface plays nicely with firefox.  And with a few tweaks it has zero ads!  Yet another reason to not-use gmail.

be SURE to enable ’save sent messages’ to reap the IMAPesque new features

the new yahoo webmail beats gmail

Filed under: Beta, Geeky goodness, Webmail — Sagacious Himself @ 1:27 am

yahoo beta BEATS gmail: same storage better interface.  To join the beta change your content location to the UK, accept TOS, reload inbox, click join beta button on splash, optionally change location back!  After ‘qualifying’ yourself for the beta it is easy to toggle between beta and old-interface
