The star ratings have worked out well, even though there are no stars in a graphic. Yet. We’ll repeat it again this week to see if it has legs. As you can see, we have more folks voting on the Weekly Babes than we ever did through Polldaddy. Improvements are needed, but it’s working. Now [...]

Man, oh man. The star ratings fiasco was just that, a fiasco. The Polldaddy guys were knowledgable about their stuff, but didn’t ask once to look at the code on the site and couldn’t steer me in any direction. Another problem with the whole situation was that their email replies were very early in the [...]

No definitive word so far on the issue with the star ratings for the Weekly Babes. We may have to go another week with this shit. Man, I hate this minor glitch. It means a lot to me. Not only because it’s something that you guys expect, but also because it gives me valuable feedback [...]

Allow me give you a few tips on how to make your visit a little more pleasurable when you visit the Slinks on Sunday. Many of the links to videos shown are from YouTube. Google makes its money from ads and they are rife in the videos on YT. I can’t do anything about that. [...]

Summer is just about here. What’s to complain about? I have a new garage door freshly installed and the automatic door opener is sitting on the floor waiting for mounting. The new door is quiet, insulated, easy to lift by hand and has a metal backing with the usual dense styrofoam product inside. Also sitting [...]

My apologies to anyone who was looking forward to the Brew Review this weekend. I was part of a three-man family crew who removed and replaced the 16-foot overhead door on the Manly Garage today. I was, for the most part, the inactive crew member, making suggestions and handing off nuts, bolts and parts to [...]

Being a little overwhelmed by the previous brew review, I had thoughts of skipping the Frankly post this week in favor of calling it quits and heading to bed. But I have a few things that have popped into my head. I feel that the Pinup Babes of the week are getting a bum deal, [...]

The rains are over. Many places in the midwest are still pumping out or cleaning up. My home is situated on a high spot and we remained dry throughout the wet onslaught although some small roof leaks did occur. I’m glad it’s over. It brings to mind the time that I modified the roof over [...]

My apologies. There was no Brew Review due to family issues. One son and his family just returned from a week’s vacation at Disney World. They stopped in to visit and tell us their stories and show us their pictures. Other sons and their babes started showing up. Next thing you knew, we were a [...]

Saturday, April 13th marks 5 years that SixPackTech has been online. I was new to everything Internet back in ’08 including WordPress, HTML and beer. I was so green back then. Even my beer reviews reflected it. Eventually, the post contents started attracting viewers and a following was built. I learned a lot over the [...]

I’ve finally pulled the trigger on the subdomain for the nice images and it goes live with the first Slink on Sunday. Pics.SixPackTech.com is a reality. There are some minor changes to be made such as the position of the “continue reading” tag and the italicized captions, but I can place images that run the [...]

We have a winner! Last week’s B&W Babe of the Week lasted the entire seven days sporting a 5-star rating. Her Name is Regina Deutinger (Google image search link) and was Playboy’s Miss April of 2008. Congratulations to all the raters and our quest for the perfect woman. Now off to some less interesting stuff. [...]
