This sprawling complex of the 314 room Albuquerque Radisson hotel, is at 9% occupancy. They are building an indoor waterpark, located in the building marked with an arrow. It was supposed to be opened Spring 2008 with a budget of $14 mil.
That is all.

Beret and I followed Marco’s advice (minus the [vignetted] polaroid frame) and created this meaningful masterpiece.
For reference, the original image looks like this.

“Like new - in shrinkwrap” means “dinged up digipak, covered with stickers we added ourselves and then wrapped in shrink-wrap just so we can say so.”
Now half the track-listing is unreadable since there are huge, essentially unremovable, labels running across the front & back. Yay.
Satan Is My Motor by CAKE on Prolonging The Magic (1998)
This song is over 10 years old; and it’s still fun to play around my religious friends.

Its a glitch. If you check your tumblarity page it will probably rank you as one of the top bloggers in the world. Its happening to everyone.
LA LA LA, I’M A FAGGOT LOOK AT MY FAGGOTRY.
In other news, internet is not popularity contest.
I link to this list every year because it’s what blogrolls and tumblelogs should aspire to: a list of links that explains why the links on it are worth your time, and which puts the links into context. Blogrolls are (almost) useless because they simply ask you to take the fact that the links are worthwhile on authority, and too many link blogs/tumblelogs are simply disconnected lists of links that don’t give you any reason to click on them. This is what a good list post looks like: it contextualizes, every item is there for a reason, and the list tells you those reasons. Also, it doesn’t hurt that the author has good taste.
Ok, so according to this list, I should aspire to be 4chan.
This will be fun.
Of the 44 predator strikes carried out by US drones in the tribal areas of Pakistan over the past 12 months, only five were able to hit their actual targets, killing five key Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders, but at the cost of over 700 innocent civilians.
I guess it’s time to retire the Crisis09 tag.
Crisis10 will probably be introduced & utilized within the week.

Due to seismic advancements in development strategies leveraging crowdsourced software development, open source software has made great strides over the past year. By harnessing the dedication of the free software community, hardware support is now better than ever before and this trend shows no sign of stopping. Paired with the rise of end-user oriented distributions such as Ubuntu and Mint it’s now ever more reasonable for consumers to make the switch.
2010 truly is the year of the Linux desktop.
YOU SHOULD GUESS.
IT IS WARM-FUZZY-DOG-SNUGGLE TIME.
Seriously Target.
SPONGEBOB IS NOT INDIE.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HOURS AGO BECAUSE THE DARNED QUEUE IS BROKEN.

A PROMINENT NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE EVENT FIRST APPEARED ON THE MILLIBLOGGING SERVICE’S MAIN PAGE AT 7 PM YESTERDAY. WORRIED USERS OF TUMBLR ARE ALREADY WRINGING THEIR HANDS IN ANTICIPATION OF A ‘BRIEF’ FREEZE ON POSTING ACTIVITY LATER THIS MORNING AT 10 AM.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS FALLS ON A TRADITIONALLY HIGH ACTIVITY DAY FOR TUMBLR USERS CALLED ‘GRATUITOUS PICTURE OF YOURSELF WEDNESDAY’ OR GPOYW. THIS TRAGIC COINCIDENCE MAY CRITICALLY AFFECT THE SELF ESTEEM OF MANY YOUNG PEOPLE IN TUMBLR’S YOUTHFUL USERBASE.
ONE FREQUENT USER OF TUMBLR WAS QUOTED AS SAYING:
LOLL!!!1!!1! I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ILL DO IF I HAVE TO TAKE A 5 MINUTE BREAK FROM REBLOGGING POSTS WITH QUOTE PYRAMIDS THE SIZE OF JUPITER; IF MY TUMBLARITY STOPS UPDATING I MIGHT JUST KILL MYSELF.
PROMINENT TWITTERSPHERE & WEB 2.0 TREND FORECASTER RICHARD SCOBLE SAID HE EXPECTED A FLOOD OF ‘EVEN MORE GODDAMN HIPSTERS AND TEENAGERS’ DESCENDING UPON TWITTER AND RELATED SERVICES TO TWEET ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES. HE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT RELATED SERVICES SUCH AS TWITPIC ADD EXTRA CAPACITY TO HANDLE A PROJECTED SURGE OF PICTURES WITH WORDS ON THEM AND SCREEN-CAPS FROM 80’S TV SHOWS.
THE DENIZENS OF THE #TUMBLRS IRC CHANNEL ARE EXPECTED TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION CLOSELY AND MOCK ALL WHO COMPLAIN. THEY HAVE ALSO STATED THAT THEY FORESEE AN INFLUX OF NEW VISITORS AND ARE PREPARING A WELCOMING COMMITTEE TO MAKE THE DISPLACED PEOPLE FEEL AT EASE. ASSORTED REFRESHMENTS SUCH AS PLATES OF DICKS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED FOR THE GUESTS.
TUMBLR STAFF HAVE ONLY DESCRIBED THE PARTIAL DOWNTIME AS NECESSARY FOR ‘HARDWARE UPGRADES.’ MARCO ARMENT, LEAD DEVELOPER OF TUMBLR, REFUSED TO COMMENT ON THE UPROAR, SAYING HE WAS ‘INDIFFERENT ABOUT THE MATTER.’ NO FURTHER DETAILS HAVE BEEN RELEASED AT THIS TIME.
Today’s project: using my router’s LED to notify me about unread messages in my chat client (Pidgin).
This plugin writes a 0 or 1 to an arbitrary file to signal new messages. So I wrote a script which toggles the LED according to the file, and remembers the LED’s status to prevent redundant commands.
Prerequesites:
A router running Tomato firmware
your local SSH keys should be loaded onto the router to allow paswordless login
the script assumes a router IP of 192.168.1.1, adjust if needed
Pidgin IM with the Led-notification plugin enabled
in the plugin settings, set /tmp/pidginled as the control file
Notes:
This doesn’t poll the file; though it could be added with loop & some variables.
You should probably use cron to run it every minute.
The command used should be: pidginled.sh $(cat /tmp/pidginled)
The text of the signaling file (0 or 1) is the only argument to the script.
This has only been tested on a WRT54G series router running Tomato; it’ll probably work on diffrent hardware or firmware if you adjust the command.
