Funny sketch about the politeness and distance to wait holding a door open at the office.

I’ve been cleaning up The Sh17 today and last night. The sidebar is less cluttered, and the little grey-red bullet things are cleaned up so they don’t look so out of place. I added the striped background h2 titles to separate more of the sidebar.

I removed the adsense bar at the top, and put one at the bottom of the sidebar instead. I installed Popularity Contest to show which posts are the most popular. You can see it on the sidebar between the Archives and Meta sections. It’s at the bottom of every post too(until I take it out)

There’s also one less post showing on the front page. I’m about to create a new page showing the best articles/posts and clean up the categories and whatnot. If anybody has any suggestions, now’s the time to tell me!

Here’s some cool things you can see with google earth.

Part of the post that wordpress screwed me out of, was this software updater I saw at Google Operating System from FileHippo.

It’s kind of like `emerge -nupDv world` or `apt-get upgrade` but for windows, where there is no central repository for software. You download the 108kb exe from filehippo and it’ll automatically scan your harddrive for software you have installed, send it to filehippo and then output a page similar to below showing you what software is out-dated with links where you should download the updated version.

This is only going to work with software that FileHippo knows about and can find, but it’s still pretty useful if you like keeping your system up to date.

The next best thing I know of for windows is Google’s Google Pack,
