I swear not a day goes by that I find some drawback on any given system. I switch back and forth between linux and windows these days mostly. Linux for all the servers, XP SP2 for most of the workstations, linux again on my laptop. And then of course macs, which I […]

We’re again accepting signups for people who want to test MetaForum on our freely hosted servers.
http://www.blursoft.com/metaForum/
There’s a caveat this time, namely being that you need to provide an actual reason for wanting one. Before we just let anyone and their brother sign up, and 98% of the signups were asdf’s, and 99% went unused. […]

So after putting up a notice a couple weeks ago that we were going to start charging a $4.95 “setup fee” for new forums, signup requests all but disappeared. We still had a few people request it anyway without paying, and we had one single person actually send us the $5 (thanks dude!). It […]

Today was a momentous day here at blursoft. Our Google AdSense account has hit $101.84. So sometime in the next 4 to 6 weeks, Google will be cutting us a check.
Only took what, 11 months of devoting all of our free time to hacking? Not too bad. Sure I could have […]

I had this post saved as a draft for quite awhile. Python’s reliance on indentions made finding a code formatting plugin mandatory. This isn’t the fastest Python prime number generator, but it’s pretty good. I saw one somewhere else that was twice as fast, but it was a bit obtuse. This […]

Despite the fact that I read Digg all day, there are several glaring things that are just plain retarded, and am very confused as to why they haven’t been fixed.
0. It does NOT keep me logged in. Why? I visit digg several times a day, everyday. Why can’t it keep me […]

Weekends are programming killers, I swear. Friday I got pretty deep into rewriting the methodology to display threads dynamically that reside above your current threshold. Now monday rolls around and I’m trying to get back into it, and I’ll be damned if I don’t even remember where I was. What was I […]

I’m not quite sure why we never did this before … likely for the same reason that I’m still not holding my breath for it to work. Either way, if for some really strange reason you’d like to help us buy ramen while we’re living in our darkened squalor, hacking mercelessly and living on […]

I’ve spent the last 3 hours debugging the most inane little bug. Its driving me crazy. I have a series of divs in the normal flow and for some reason there’s this unexplainable block of blank space between them. There’s nothing in the CSS that is setting any kind of top or […]

Several times throughout the code, I want to print out a list of items, seperated correctly by a comma. Example:
Users browsing this thread: briantech, spinlock, bobjones, jamesgreer, nancyreagan
It would be painfully easy to just iterate through your array, printing out the array value followed by a comma. The problem with that though, is […]
