I am sure you have seen the massive wave of spamming on my website. This is good and bad. The only good reason is that it means that my website is worth while to spam, the bad reasons are pretty obvious. But I threatened and they didn't listen, so I wrote some code to help block some of it. It will take a little bit, but you will slowly start to see a decline in the amount of spam posts here. If I block you and feel this is wrong, use the contact button on the left to get a hold of me and we will try to work things out. If you spam me there, then you will be blocked via all communications. Simple as that.

Open Office is currently in version 2.4 with version 3.0, from what I have gathered, in the last quarter of this year. So what will the new version have in it that is different? There will be native support for importing PDF documents (you can only export currently). There will also be support for the new Microsoft Office 2007 Open XML file format (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx). Another new feature is the ability to publish directly to MediaWiki which is used for Wikipedia and many other wiki-like sites. There are many other new features due out such as notes in the margin. All these along with performance improvements, Open Office is coming closer and closer to being a direct competitor to MS Office. If Open Office would improve their user interface, they probably could get even more people to switch; lets face it, Microsoft's UI for Office is pretty slick.

I personally use Open Office and was bored at about 12:30 A.M. so I decided to change the splash screen that appears when you open Open Office. I know it's dorky, but if you are reading this web site, I am sure that you are a little dorky yourself. So if you are a Open Office user, and like the Zelda series, check out the below image (I am looking into how to try and replace the Office splash screen, if you know how, please contact me). To use this as your spash screen, save it to your computer, navigate to the Open Office program directory (default location is C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org X.x\program, replace X.x with your version) and replace the intro.bmp with this image.

Hulu.com is perfect for any of you who can't afford cable TV, but have an Internet connection, or if you missed one of you favorite shows and do not want to wait until the re-run comes on. The may not have every show under the sun, but they do allow you to watch TV shows and movies, 100% legally, with just a couple commercials that are 30 seconds in length.

Thanks to my father who pointed me to this website, below is a sample of what you get at Hulu.com, the latest episode of The Office. At Hulu's website, you can watch the videos in full screen.
