Better than You! http://www.wezzul.com No Iggy and the Stooges, but Madonna? Rock and Roll? Come again? What a load of horse shit. Until The Stooges (and the MC5, for that matter) are inducted into this, it\'s not even real. The Stooges and Fun House are two of the greatest records of all time. And I mean, come on, they put the fucking Sex Pistols in there, and the Stooges are at least as important as they are in the grand scheme of things... Meh. I don\'t get it.Tue, 11 Mar 2008 09:27:56 -0500http://wezzul.com/Music/815/The-Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame-is-BullshitSo I\'m sitting here watching Snoop Dogg\'s Fatherhood (I don\'t know why I started watching it, and it\'s pretty apparently scripted, but Snoop is funny, so it\'s worthwhile), and every other commercial is for a movie called \"How She Move\", which I guess is a movie about \"stepping\". I\'ve gotta wonder how stupid a person has to be to lap up this mindless drivel? This is the most formulaic of movies. Take an underprivileged lower class inner city youth that has aspirations of dancing/cheerleading/drumming/singing, and tell their story about their rise from the streets of Los Angeles/New York to gain acceptance through doing their activity at a high level. It is in this youth\'s struggle and success that the audience gains a warm feeling inside, no matter how cheap, and cliched it is. Chance are, the people that are going to see this movie have also seen all the other movies that follow this exact same story arc. They are the stupidest sons of bitches on the planet. They are the same ones that buy \"album by cute boys in a band\" and \"album by pretty young girl\". There is a reason that the record companies and movie companies put out the same shit over and over again. It\'s because there are so many goddamn idiots that will buy the shit with their parents expendable income. This movie is going to be all the rage on Michigan State\'s campus in the very near future. This would not be \"grinding my gears\" if it wasn\'t for the fact that the commercial is on so goddamn much during one of the five shows I actually like. It is no wonder that this is an MTV film. They have been suckering stupid kids into watching awful rubbish for 20 years. On a more happy note, I have a laptop now. Thinkpad Z61t. It\'s great. I\'m really digging it. Edit: Seems there is another movie called \"Step Up 2\" coming out soon also. I can\'t even begin to describe how stupid this up (start with the \'2\')Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:11:35 -0600http://wezzul.com/General/814/Awful-Movie-FormulaI figured I would post this since I only found one place that ever talked about it. I was doing includes in PHP with query string on them. This necessitates including the file with the full URL (http://domain.tld/script.php?foo=foo1 and bar=bar1). However, when including something with the full URL, sessions in the included file do not work anymore. This gave me fits for about two days before I found this out. I got around it by passing the variables into the included file another way (due to the way I am doing my templating), but you could probably just include the file after setting the variables, as the included file will read those variables from the including file.Wed, 26 Dec 2007 15:15:19 -0600http://wezzul.com/Tech/813/PHP-Full-URL-Includes-with-SessionsOk, I finally worked out my top ten for the year. 1 (tie).

Just fantastic. I\'m not even really a Letterman fan, but fuck, is this good shit. Sat, 29 Sep 2007 23:53:27 -0500http://wezzul.com/General/811/David-Letterman-vs.-Paris-HiltonToday is my last day at my current job. On one hand, I\'m excited to be leaving, and for my new job. It\'s going to be a good challenge, and it should be enjoyable. On the other hand, there are a lot of good people here that I\'m going to miss working with. My boss was easily the best boss I\'ve ever had, and I\'ve become friends with him. I will absolutely keep in touch with him and will still go to Camp Losey as often as I can. I wrote a letter to the staff today thanking them for the opportunity to work here, and got a lot of nice responses from them. I\'m pretty happy that I am valued by this place, and hope that at my new job, I am equally as valued. Some lyrics: \"So now I try to keep up, I\'ve been exchanging my currency While a million objects pass through my periphery Now I\'m rubbing my eyes, cause they\'re starting to bother me I\'ve been staring too long at the screen But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility? It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery To love and to be loved Let\'s just hope that is enough\"Fri, 21 Sep 2007 14:51:02 -0500http://wezzul.com/General/810/The-End-of-ThingsSo I started posting some of my tech related crap over at Chainsaw Hands . It\'s a site a couple of buddies of mine started and asked me to put some stuff on. Check it out, it should get a fair amount of diversified information.Fri, 07 Sep 2007 13:28:01 -0500http://wezzul.com/Tech/809/Chainsaw-HandsSo I finally broke down and wrote something that will accept images sent from a phone, put them in the gallery, and display a random one on the sidebar. Cool I guess...Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:05:25 -0500http://wezzul.com/O2-News/808/Mobile-ImagesReally Dell? No IDE controller? No PS/2 ports? Sheesh, really skimping these days.
