SteveCast #6 - New Orleans is Sinking
I rant a little bit about the anarchy that's going on in New Orleans and some about Big Brother 6. Check out this guy's LiveJournal blog. He's a sysadmin the crisis manager for DirectNIC, and he's been holed up in their offices on the 10th floor of an offi...
Podcast mailing list
Due to a few requests, I have set up a mailing list so that people can be notified via email when a new Spine.cx Podcast comes out. I'm not sure why they just don't subscribe via RSS, but to each their own. If you would prefer this method of announcement f...
Podcasting on location
For the first time, Jeannine and I have been requested to make a personal appearance :) We will be podcasting at the opening of Bethana Briffett's new clothing store, Banana Berry Clothing. We will be at the store on Thursday, September 8th, 2005, at least f...
Plane Crashes
Is it just me or have there been a lot of plane crashes in the media lately? Toronto's Air France crash, Greece's Cypriot airliner crash, Venezuela's charter jet crash, and now one in Switzerland. Everyone always says that flying is statistically safer tha...
SteveCast #5 - Charger test drive and Dave Doolittle's
Steve & I went to test drive a Dodge Charger and ate at Dave Doolittle's. Post in the comments here if you want to go on a Alexander Keith's brewery tour or a Harbour Hopper ride tomorrow (Saturday). Listen to this one in headphones if you can ;) Original...
SteveCast #4 - The Redwood Grill
I didn't really get a chance to do some of the great suggestions I got, because I didn't go downtown today. I did, however, get to go out to the Redwood Grill for supper. In the SteveCast, you'll find my review, as well as some talk about the suggested activ...
SteveCast #3 - Batting Cages and the Vines
I take a suggestion from Ryan Belbin and hit the batting cages at Atlantic Playland. Afterwards, I drive around a bit and hit the Vines Pasta Grill for supper. All in all, not a completely boring day. Keep the text messages coming! Email me if you must. ...
SteveCast #2 - On vacation and bored
I'm on vacation and bored out of my mind. Send my phone a text message with what the hell I should do today. I'll try and record it for the next SteveCast. Edit: Today's music was brought to you today by Punk-O-Rama 10. Originally posted on Wednesday, 2...
Obvious: Bell ExpressVu has lousy customer service
No real surprise here, I just wanted to link to a real horror story that this guy has had about his attempt to buy a second receiver from Bell. The commenter at the bottom is certainly correct about the cellphone and cable companies having the same bad servic...
SteveCast #1
The first of probably many "SteveCasts" (Not to be confused with the Spine.cx Podcast). I talk a bit about how RSS works and how it fits in with podcasting. Then I go into an explanation of some of the new features on the website. You can probably look fo...
Spine.cx's 4th birthday
Yay! It's been 4 years since Spine.cx was brought up in this format of articles and comments and such. How many of you remember when spine.cx looked like this? For a short time, it looked like this. But most of you probably remember spine.cx when it was ...
Podcasting for everybody!
In an effort to make life easier for me, I accidentally added a feature to the website. When you go to post a new blog entry now, if you're paying attention, you'll notice a new text field just above the OK button: "Enclosure URL". If you stick a URL in thi...
Popularizing the Spine.cx Podcast
Among the many other things I think about during any given day, one of them usually is, "How can I make the Spine.cx Podcast more popular to more people?" Hmmm...that certain is one to wax philosophical about, isn't it? One certain way is to vote for the Sp...
At least Scientologists don't ring your doorbell and wake you up
I fucking hate Jehova's Witnesses!!! Why do they come to my fucking house? They woke me up today. I know it was 10:30, and I probably should have been up anyway, but that's not even close to the point. I don't want their fucking "Watchtower" magazine. I...
What is up with Club 5171?
I do not understand what the owners of Club 5171 (formerly Merrill's) are doing with that once-great bar. It all started when they closed the place for three weeks for renovations... ..And then opened again as the exact same fucking place. Since then, it ...
The new machine is live!
The afore-mentioned new machine is live. Hopefully the only difference you'll all notice is that it's faster. But please let me know if it isn't. Giddyup. Originally posted on Tuesday, 2005-07-05 at 21:31:05.
NSGEU wants you to boycott private liquor stores
Fuck that. I'm not even going to get started on what I think of unions, but I know that I absolutely love the private liquor stores. Knowing that they're not unionized just makes me love them even more. This summer, I shall endevour to shop exclusively ...
A new spine.cx
Spine.cx is about to get transplanted into a new body. Currently, spine.cx is running on an AMD K6/2 400 MHz chip with 384MB of RAM. A new machine has been set up with an AMD Athlon 1800+ chip and 500MB of RAM. In addition, I have two 40 gig mirrored drives...
Cheap audio equipment
I'm looking at buying some new equipment for recording the podcast. Specifically a new mixer. The one I have only supports two microphones, and to get the guest in for the last two, I've had to pass that mic through my laptop as a preamp and it doesn't sound...
It's about fucking time
I really don't understand why it took so fucking long to pass the gay marriage bill. Doesn't this shit just make sense to people? This idea behind bill C-38 is one of the most obvious I have ever contemplated. I really do not "get" the people that disagree ...
