Here’s a great little piece of software – it’s a PHP Todo list. Super-easy to use and install. I use it all the time. Visit the script’s homepage.

My fearsome Jade Empire name
After reading this post at Joystiq, I figured I’d give the Jade Empire Name Generator a try (even though I don’t even own the game). Some of the examples given are “Sagacious Zu, Radiant Jen Zi, and Lu the Prodigy”. What would my name be? Surely something to strike fear into the hearts of men, right? I put in my name and here’s what I get back:
Gracious Brian Pu
Are you scared? I didn’t think so.

Laptop virus definitions 76 months old
Remember the old laptop I mentioned that I was getting? Well, I got it. The bad news is that it has no PS/2 port so I can’t use it in my MP3 jukebox like I wanted to – the keyboard hack I have done is only for a PS/2 keyboard. Oh well.
Here’s something funny though….when I boot it up it says the virus definitions are 76 months old. GEEZ! I wonder if that is a record for the most out-of-date virus scanner?

Mastering the Xbox Controller
I’m proud of my daughter for many things. She’s smart, polite, kind, loving, and she plays well with others (just to name a few). Here’s one more thing that makes me proud.
The other day she wanted to play a game on the Xbox while I was on the computer so I threw in the Wallace and Gromit game and tried to get something done real quick before she got stuck and needed help. She really hadn’t figured out the controller yet – it takes a lot of coordination to use an Xbox controller when you’re four.
After a few minutes I realized she hadn’t asked for help yet so I turned around in my seat (the TV is behind me when I’m sitting at the computer), and lo and behold, she had figured out the controller. Just like that. I watched her run Gromit up to a platform and easily jump right up. I kept watching and it was blatantly obvious she had finally gotten the hang of it.
I am so proud.
