I don't know if it's intentional, but forum, comment, article, etc. posts don't show up aligned like they're entered.
For example, this is a new paragraph separated by a blank line. Or is it...
So is this, and all of the new paragraphs aren't indented by me, but they are! I think this could use some tweaking, what does anyone else think?
Or am I using the incorrect input format? Hmm hmm...
I don't know if it's because I'm using Portable Firefox or not, but the Favicon is the little Drupal waterdrop guy.
The Favicon works fine when I'm using normal Firefox (with a fully functional cache), at least as far as I've noticed so far.
I think you were having problems with that a while ago. Anyone else notice anything?
Oh yeah, if you're getting the same thing, the Favicon is a gray and white looking square (which is the USL logo if you look closely). Maybe if my eyes weren't so crappy I could make out all those Favicons out there a little better...
Most of you probably know

[quote]Here’s the heavenly clutter count as of December 29, 2004.
There were 9,233 objects large enough to be tracked and catalogued by the USSTRATCOM Space Surveillance Network. Of this total there were 2,927 payloads, along with 6,306 object classed as rocket bodies and debris.
Today is Groundhog day, woo, ha, wee and fun. Well, the dirty little marmot apparently saw his shadow so more crappity crap, if you're stuperstitious. I say Winter until March so it's to be expected for the season. In other news, USL is looking good. It's all... grey and white, but I have a face now! Woo!
Also, it's around 2:10 P.M. and there are round-a-bouts 6 guests... there are always guests. Don't just ogle, get registered and post some shit!!!
I was on the hunt for a better theme system for Drupal last night, and my research led me to [url=http://drupal.org/node/11810]phpTemplate[/url]. It's a flexible and straightforward system for site theme creation and customization, and I found a handy [url=http://drupal.org/project/box_grey]template set[/url] with all the Drupal visual features enabled, like user avatars (which I like), based on this engine. Now all I have to do is incorporate my old Chameleon based design into the phpTemplate engine.
I decided to move the case mod work logs from the forum to the Drupal book system. I have some ancient work logs that deserve resurrection, and it seems to be a lot easier to add them a page at a time as a book. You can [url=http://www.ultrasciencelabs.com/?q=book]browse[/url] what I have so far by clicking the "books" link in the top menu. Check back for updates if you are into the whole work blog thing.
In other news, I am on the hunt for new polls. Add suggestions if you're inclined. Also, the "geek news" could use some more content; if you have some interesting news to share, drop me a line.
Most of the people I know, when asked, would declare Des Moines to be a pretty crappy city. I completely disagree. As far as cities in Iowa go, it probably has teh most potential. True, it has a no dancing after 2am law, yes, they are spending far too much money on an Events Center that doesn't have any parking (as far as I or my friends can tell), and sure, it's in Iowa- Iowa for chrissake. I argue that it doesn't take a lot of effort to find cool shit in Des Moines, though- very little in fact; but we live in a country full of people spoon fed information from birth, so open wide, y'all...
I paid bruce a visit a week ago to poke at cases and do other assorted geeky things. I brought the MDPortal Elite machine back with me. I'd been itching to play some System Shock for many moons. So many moons, in fact, that I logged roughly eleven hours and fourty-four minutes of game-time over a span of two days. Nothing says good times like foiling SHODAN's plans to destroy the world and such.
My projects had been wallowing in neglect the past few months. The elite machine had been in desperate need of a hardware and cosmetic upgrade, and the Dragon was partially disassembled, gathering dust on a shelf. After recently overhauling my room and work area, I realized I couldn't afford to have my mods sitting around serving no useful purpose other than holding down carpet.
I started with the elite machine. The hardware upgrade included a new Super Socket 7 baby AT mobo, and this necessitated the fabrication of a new motherboard tray. I reworked the cables; even taking the time to disassemble the power supply and neatly wrap the power cables. I re-routed the rope light and now the side panel emits a nice glow once again.
What a week. The last few days were a blur of computer parts, boxes, and bins. I've been rummaging through my assorted stacks of used components. The piles were overgrowing my workspaces, and this, of course, necessitated some pruning. Thank you eBay! If any of you are looking for some older hardware, I've got a pile posted for sale; my eBay ID is bruce42_saiyaman. There's stuff from Socket3 motherboards to a couple of VooDoo3 video cards.
