Congratulations to Heritage Marina Hotel in San Francisco, California for being selected as America’s dirtiest hotel. I’m sure there are nastier hotels for crack addicts on Sixth Street but you get national recognition for your achievements. Great job! Check out these disgusting reviews here and here and look at the even more disgusting pictures if you dare.

As you can see, this blog has a brand new look. The layout more or less matches the old one but this one uses a light theme instead of the dark theme. Those who prefer the dark theme can still use it by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking the desired theme. This ‘on the fly’ theme switching is accomplished with a plug in called Theme Switcher Reloaded. It accomplishes this by writing a session cookie to set the theme choice. This presented a problem as this session cookie breaks the Atahualpa theme’s option link. I had to clear the cookies to get the link to return. This is not really a problem for viewers but blog author’s should be aware of this limitation. Another problem with switching themes is widgets are designed for one theme so switching themes overwrites the previous selections. Additionally, the widget for theme switching can only be placed on one theme. That’s why I had to code the theme switch options manually at the bottom of the page for one of the themes.

I’m a die-hard Firefox user due to its extensibility and ad blocking. It’s a memory hog and can be a bit sluggish on slower computers. I recently decided to give Google Chrome a try and it’s among the snappiest browsers on the market. Granted, I have no extensions installed so it’s running pretty lean. The first thing I noticed was the dreaded return of ads. Ad Block Plus is one of the most popular Firefox add ons. It’s unknown if Google will permit ad blocking on a large scale with Chrome since Google is one of the world’s largest ad servers. At the moment, there is no Ad Block Plus for Google Chrome but you can block ads with Adsweep in a few simple steps. To enable Adsweep, you have to run the development version of Chrome which enables extensions so this may not be for everyone. When you’re done, close your browser, reopen it and access adsweep.org, you should see a red notification in the upper-right corner of the page (only displayed on adsweep.org), saying AdSweep is installed.

I run a triple boot of Ubuntu, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. I am a long time Windows user and decided to give Ubuntu a try. It’s been one pain in the ass after another. This last episode is the last straw. After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), it failed to update my multiboot screen so ended up running part of one version over another. The sound stopped working again and the touchpad died. I finally figured out I was running an older kernel and updated my GRUB menu which promptly killed my boot option for Windows XP and Vista. Now with the new version running, my touchpad was back and the sound worked but it sounded awful. Then it killed my Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 wireless usb adapter. After some searching, I finally found a temporary fix here under post #19. What a pain. I done with this experiment. I don’t have time to search for hours to get sound working every time I update the OS. Linux will never be a challenge to Windows or OSX. Goodbye Ubuntu. I won’t be missing you.

In my opinion, this year’s deals on external hard drives are just OK. Not worth making a trip for and definitely not worth standing in line for unless you are going for something else. There may be the same or better deals on Cyber Monday. The best deals on a cost per gigabyte basis is the Western Digital Elements 1TB Desktop Hard Drive at Target for $60. This comes out to six cents per gigabyte. After that, it’s the 1.5TB Seagate Seagate 1.5TB External USB Hard Drive from Office Depot for $100. If you are looking for a small 2.5″ drive, consider the Iomega Prestige 320GB Portable Hard Drive from Radio Shack for $50. You might be able to remove this drive and put it in a laptop. Of course, this will void your warranty. Continue reading 2009 Black Friday External Hard Drive Deals Sphere: Related Content
So many Model Mayhem members are well aware that the site has experienced downtime last week due to a distributed denial of service attack. Lots of paying VIP and premium members were up in arms about the downtime and screaming for some kind of remedy in the form of a credit or refund. Let me first say that I am not a paying member so I don’t really care what they do for the paying members. Even if I was a paying member, I couldn’t care less about a credit for the few hours of down time and the week of spotty performance. A monthly VIP membership is $10 so a week is just $2.50. You can’t even buy an average drink in Starbucks for that amount. But people want some kind of appeasement so Model Mayhem had to pacify them. Continue reading How to issue a refund without actually issuing a refund Sphere: Related Content
