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…

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 [...]

All of todays videos were embedded using the new plugin on the site. The vids should all be viewable on mobile devices. Please let me know if there are any problems viewing, either on the desktop or on your device. Thanks. – FCG

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!

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. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

SixPackTech will be taking the day off for obvious reasons. Good food and a house full of offspring are just down the pike. We’ll be back shite and briny for Friday and pick up right where we left off. But I know that some of you are like me and can’t keep away from the [...]

Happy Anniversary, Presurfer

The Presurfer weblog is celebrating its 10th anniversary today. The Presurfer International Headquarters is closed for today. I’m having a party right now! It’s not a big party because there’s just me. But I’m wearing a funny little hat and there are meatballs. Because today marks the 10th anniversary of The Presurfer. I can suggest [...]

My humblest apologies. Most of the left sidebar has been wiped out due to some HTML experiment on my part and perhaps some misunderstanding between me and the workings of WP-Super Cache. WordPress had a lot to do with it as well, I’m sure. I assure you that beer and alcohol was never a part [...]

Google’s YouTube service has been spotty all morning. Many of the files I was hoping to show today will have to wait for another time. I had to jockey around the prob and still come up with some relatively interesting stuff. In the meantime, I’m sure you’ll find some click-worthy posts below.

Big weekend
July 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off · announcement, holiday
Three glorious days of freedom celebrating our country’s freedom. Isn’t that great? For this homebody, it will be attending a wondrous wedding reception. (Who gets married on the 3rd of July? Rhet…) Saturday night, I’ll be in a motel room, nicely sedated from the evening’s festivities. I have challenged myself, though. It will be to [...]
