Solar Light Suggestions Needed

I have been wanting to get some solar-powered lights for a while now. The ones I find online have reviews that range from them being cheap-looking, to poor quality, to poor receivers of solar power, to just plain bad. Does anyone have any experience with solar lights? Anyone who can lend a recommendation or suggestion.

To get the conversation started, I was looking at these Westinghouse stainless steel lights on Amazon (link).

Uwe Boll Video

in Videos

There is an online petition trying to stop Uwe Boll from making movies. He said if it gets 1 million signatures he will. Now he put out a video that is pretty funny. He curses, calls Michael Bay names, and says Postal will be unlike any movie made in the last 10 years. Check out the video. The guy knows how to market himself and build up free advertising.

Disgusting Sight of the Day

The other day I saw something truly disgusting, and forgot to write about it. I was stopped at a traffic light and the van behind me had a boy at least in his late teens in the passenger seat. He was using his cellphone to pick his ear. I’m sorry, but that is not the correct use of CDMA.

Wordpress MU on GoDaddy Hosting: Help Needed

in Dev

Does anyone know how to get Wordpress MU working on GoDaddy’s Deluxe hosting service? I even have a virtual dedicated ip if that is necessary.

I have looked all over online and not found anything helpful. And GoDaddy didn’t help when I contacted them. They told me I needed to do something to the wp-users file, yet I find nothing about that anywhere and have no idea what that means.

I need to be able to create wordpress blogs quickly on subdomains of a domain. Hence the need for Wordpress MU, and then being able to manage all blogs from one central location. If anyone knows how to do this your help would be greatly appreciated.

Facebook Boombox App Taken Down by Developer

in Web

It appears that the Boombox application on Facebook has been removed by its developer. This was an application that let you select songs to display on your Facebook profile. They played in a small Flash area, loading mp3s found on the internet. I’m guessing it was a legal issue. I did noticed two days ago that the Flash part wasn’t loading and the application wasn’t working right.

This facebook listing for The Boombox app’s owner Adam Mosseri (link) now returns no results, showing that the person deleted their Facebook account. Very fishy.

I am now looking for a new application to load on my profile that does the same thing. Unfortunately I do not remember which songs I had listed.

Here are a few alternatives:

Amazon Trying to Shut Down the Little Guy

Amazon is scaring Kindle news sites that have the term “Kindle” in their domains into handing over control of the domains to Amazon. They are threatening to cancel Amazon Associate accounts and withhold Q1 2008 affiliate revenue. They have already scared a few sites into handing over the domain, but I refuse to let them do this to my Kindle Report news site.

You can read my article on their attempts to strong-arm me here.
