Randomness-a-plenty! That’s what we have for you tonight at Oddball Headquarters. In fact, we’re having an Oddball Halloween party! …Actually, we’re not, but it sounded good. Thought it might bolster attendance to say that, anyway. And sure enough, it worked—the people are just flooding in here. In fact, look—here [...]

Rrrrrr! Every time I look at this site, I see something else that needs to be fixed. I’m starting to get a bit paranoid about all the changes I’m making to the core code. I’m trying to comment everything, but jeeze…if I need to upgrade my copy of WordPress, I’m gonna have [...]

Let the excitement continue!
…Or whatever. Ah, greetings, and welcome to Oddball. This evening, you undoubtedly have noticed that some things have changed around here. This may not mean much to any of you, but I’ve finally decided to throw out the old weblog system I was using, which was known as pMachine. [...]

I know it seems like I’ve been largely ignoring this site lately, but in actuality I’ve been quite busy working on it behind-the-scenes. At a fever pitch, actually—to the point where it’s probably unhealthy, but hey, I learned what the PHP implode() function does, so it was aaaalllll worth it in the end. [...]

For my second installment of Not-Quite-Retro-Gaming-Month™, I was going to reinstall and play Gothic, a medieval RPG that I thought was a major bore back in the day (but which Sparse thought was quite fun), but I really wasn’t in the mood to install and slog through an RPG just yet.
Anyway, in lieu of the [...]

Yeah, I know – March was Retro Gaming Month. Well, excuse me for not having posting privileges then.
And now it’s time to feeeeel the flaaaames!
Ahem. What I mean is, I think I’m one of the only people on Earth (along with Sparse) who didn’t like Freedom Force when it came out. I mean, yeah, the [...]

Just a little message from the management: I’m toying around with some new code on my weblog system today, so if I break something and this whole site self-destructs, fear not—it’ll be back as soon as I can restore the backup I just generated. Just so ya know.

Woo woo! Well, that didn’t take long. A few hours after I posted about the site tweaks I wanted to implement, they’re done. Except the tweaks to the stylesheet, but that’ll come later. I need to refer to some stuff on my machine at home.
Spent some time with the Xbox last [...]

There have been a few functionality tweaks I’ve wanted to give to the Oddball Update, so in the next few days you should (hopefully) be seeing these new features coming online. Yeah, it’s minor stuff, but here’s da list:
Google Query Highlighter …That was too easy.
If people get here via Google, their search terms will [...]

Not much is going on today at the office; the CEO and top V.P. are both out today, I’m actually not receiving a massive influx of new work to do, and so far things have been pretty good. Things have also been pretty boring. Plus, between noon and 1:00 in the afternoon is [...]
