PHP/SWF Charts

PHP/SWF Charts is is a pretty nifty, and pretty looking flash/php based chart/graph generator. Pass a few variables from a php array to the SWF file and it will generate these pretty charts for you, all without the need to have any fancy php_swf modules installed, because the work is all done within the swf's action scripts.

Boycott Iams pet food

09.26.04 - 01:38am
mood: disgusted
 
Apparently some people still don't know that the Iams pet food company, a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate giant Proctor & Gamble, are a bunch of assholes that abuse animals, perform painful and cruel experiment on them, and keep them in horrible living conditions.

Now I'm no expert on the subject of dog food preparation, but I fail to see why a pet food company would need to hack chunks of muscle from dogs thighs, and then merely throw the dogs back into cold concrete rooms they kept them in. Instead of, ohh I don't know, maybe putting them into post-op, or better yet NOT RIPPING CHUNKS OF FLESH AND MUSCLE from a dogs leg.

So in conclusion I encourage everyone out there to boycott Iams, slash their bags of food at the supermarket, and set fire to anything belonging to this horrible company.

At the age of 82, beloved movie visionary Russ Meyer passed away last Saturday.
We'll all fondly remember the dirty old man who brough us such classics as Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Mondo Topless.

Rest in peace Russ.

Trickle down economics of the GeForce

According to the freshly published video card review at techreport.com, the spankin' new GeForce 6600 GT, is so wicked that it will smite thee with it's white hot power.

So, here's the skinny on the card. The 6600 GT is based on the NV43 GPU, which is a slimmed down version of the NV40 GPU which powered the mighty 6800 Ultra.
The NV43 is basically the same core as the NV40 but with only half the features as it's big brother. It has 8 pixel pipelines, 3 pixel shaders, and a 128-bit memory interface. While these numbers might look quite dismal compared to the 6800 Ultra, they are in fact QUITE spectacular when you consider that this card can out-preform last years top of the line video card, the 5950 Ultra which is still retailing, at the bit out of my price range, of $568. In fact this badboy even out-preforms this years 6800 (not the Ultra, just the 6800). That's because the 6600 GT runs the GPU @ 500MHz and the memory at 1000MHz!!

Go check out the preformance stats, the screenshots and the arrousing pictures of the card, and then start drooling from the fact that it's going to retail for around $149-$199.

On to theatrical news, I hear that the Delux Edition of Taking Lives (which I reviewed when it was out in theaters), has been awsomely extended by six minutes. Miss Jolies breath taking scene of interest has been made longer! I'm swooning like a bandit.
"Six minutes of footage were re-introduced to create the Special Director's Cut - most of this extra footage is merely extended shots of corpses, some added scenes of gore and a couple of additional shots during the sex scene."

Eating a Burrito Boyz, large burrito with the works, and stuffed to the gills with sourcream. Is not a good idea after a 4hr gleam session. I just upchucked the whole damn thing. Now it's time to brush my teeth and go to sleep.

Listen old timer. Just because a particular musician doesn't get airplay at Velvet or Funhaus, doesn't mean they aren't worth shelling out for front row tickets. Not that I mean any disrespect to the Cure or whatever they are rocking the Velvet with these days.

After work today, I dropped by Alex's new bachelor pad, for the purpose of checking it out, helping move things about, and being a general nuisance. I must say it's a pretty nice place he's got there. If his landlord had another opening it would definetly be nice to move into this area, since the perks are outstanding. While waiting outside on the stoop, a nice looking girl in a baby blue bikini walked by. I wasn't sure if it was just the sheer will of my mind wanting to see a bikini, that jedi forced her out the front door and into one, or if perhaps there was just a pool nearby. Once Green and Alex got here, I was told by Green that there was indeed a pool nearby, but he laughed and said that it was most likely a bit of both : )

There was a bit of a bad moment today though. While we were moving in a heavy ass, three person couch, me and Myc were holding the same side of it. When he lost his gripping he readjusted and put his hand over my hand. I think we're now like gay married or something. It was a very unfortunate incident.

And in unrelated news, welcome aboard Spiky, now that your're a member of the club we should go out for the delicious Canadian pastry, known as Beaver Tails.
