For tomorrow…

December 31st, 2012 · Comments Off · announcement, holiday

The staff and I (pfft!) will be taking the day off tomorrow, but we’ll rustle up something for your enjoyment in a short Slinks-like format. I feel for the poor bastards who have to work today. And for all of you who have off, don’t get started too early. Tuesday will be here before you [...]

Announcement

December 12th, 2012 · Comments Off · announcement

WordPress offered up an update today to the 3.5 version. Bragged about was the new and highly improved and faster image interface. Well… it doesn’t seem to work as stated. Also, there are some minor issues with the video embeds. Consequently, our Humpday Honey, for now, is only offering medium-sized images. My first thought was [...]

The winds took out a large branch on the tree in front of my house, taking with it the phone and cable connections. I am without Internet service for awhile. I’m presently sittng at McDonald’s sucking on their free [...]

Experiment

April 30th, 2012 · Comments Off · announcement

This week the site will be testing the effectiveness of spreading out the daily posts over time. Each of the six posts will be spaced an hour apart based on the recommendation of an avid SPT reader. Also, other minor improvements will be made as soon as I figure out how to use the HTML [...]

Trouble…

March 19th, 2012 · Comments Off · announcement

I’ve been experiencing some difficulties with videos from Vimeo. After embedding in a post, the preview shows a blank white area. Clicking in the area most times causes the video to be seen in its space, but sometimes the video won’t play. I don’t know if this is Vimeo’s problem, my browsers’ (Firefox and Safari) [...]

It’s January 18th and on this day, some major websites such as Wikipedia and Reddit have promised to go dark in protest of the proposed SOPA/PIPA legislation. SixPackTech is no where near as popular as these sites but we still feel just as strongly about this legislation as they do. We’ve heard recently that SOPA [...]

Frankly speaking

May 22nd, 2011 · Comments Off · announcement, Frankly speaking, opinion

There is trouble afoot with the Babes in the sidebar. The new pictures in the sidebar widget will not translate to the html on the server. Tonight I’ve spent over an hour trying to figure out what was wrong in the parsing of the code, but strange things have been happening during the effort. And [...]

Crap!

December 6th, 2010 · Comments Off · announcement, Quickies, video

Terrible evening at SPT headquarters this day of Sunday. Comcast went down about 8:30 until after midnight. On top of that, the posts database crashed again. Sadly, time does not permit a full load of posts and I apologize. I do have a few minutes to get us started for the week with some Quickies. [...]
