Re: Music Monday – Wait and Bleed by Slipknot

That is a bit funny since this album came out in the late 90's. I'm not hugely invested in the history of the band though, so I don't know the story behind the masks. i always thought of them as adding to the gimmick of the band - such as Kiss, Devo, Insane Clown Posse - etc. Something that helps a band stand out from similar sounding bands around them.

It's modern (ok 90's modern) metal - which worked easily amongst my haunted house working friends. Just fast angry music that can get you pumped up. I'm not a huge metal music guy- but I do love Slipknot's first album.

The unix time I had was 180 seconds apart AND I had multiple songs with the same time stamp. All the songs have to have been played within 14 days (hence why I had to use the same timestamp multiple times).

after -user it should be your username. That might be it. Also make sure you have python installed. The real problem is that I wrote up the blog article the night I got it to work, and I haven't ever done it again.

I don't remember the fun house - but I was quite depressed the year that the Pirate Ride was removed.

So they removed in preparation for the Iron Dragon and then started construction post 1986 pre 1987 season?

Sort of like Disaster Transport last year?

Re: The HTML is Easy Myth

creeva — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 16:43:51 -0000

When I mentioned prefer CSS (and this post is 5 years old) - I have dealt with many sites back then and since - that did not use CSS - pure .html files only. Up until the last few months the company I work for used straight HTML instead of a CMS.

I understand and I'm comfortable with the basics - I just don't believe the majority of people these days will ever need to even know those. I remember back in the late 90's that they stated everyone will know html - those days have unfortunately passed and that belief never made it to fruition thanks to CMS systems.

I'm guessing you don't have kids. So my son goes to bed at 8:00 which means you get started at your own stuff at nine. Which means the stores is closed or you are waiting 24 hours to attempt it again.

So...

It is what it is.

If only apple can hold onto that time....of course in the ideal world we need to remove the governments right to use any patent without license also.

Well the patents would be expired - so maybe all of Star Trek evolves because of apple..... j/k

Re: Vermilion Passes Drug Testing For Students – How To Pass A Drug Test

creeva — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:48:53 -0000

I strictly look at this as a privacy matter. Unfortunately that makes me look like a pot smoker, which I'm not. I do admit the how to pass a drug test part of the title is link-baitish though.

I have two siblings still in high school, but they don't really pay attention to my blog. So the audience that would use the test information doesn't get exposed to this. It is more parents that are exposed if anything.

I have mixed emotions on the fast pass system. The first is like you posted, but I know that Cedar Point has been struggling the last few years. The fast pass gives them an easy way to enhance their bottom line. As long as they are profitable the park will stay open and keep expanding. Compare this to Geauga Lake.

The second part is that for the most part very few people seem to actually purchase the Fast Pass. The only ride where I saw it significantly make the line longer was Dodgem. Other rides I didn't see it causing a 45 minutes delay anywhere.

Well your chart shows that we are all changing, slowly - but changing.

Re: The Chick-Fil-A Debacle

creeva — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:53:19 -0000

Before someone calls me on it - I just assumed a company the size of Chick-Fil-A was publicly traded. I was wrong it is still a private company. This doesn't change everything in the post - words still have consequences - they just won't ever face a lawsuit from shareholders.

No matter what we do - someone is always feeling persecuted

In the conversation I witnessed they already brought up the treaty, but he went further into detail by say he referenced that because of the dominance of the religion within our country.

I'm aware of the Henson thing, I just wanted to point out more that words have consequences.

Ahh - Unix time. It's a pain in the ass. So for some examples.

On July 4, 2012 at 12:00PM the unix time was 1341403200 so if you wanted the time on July 4, 2012 at 11:58AM you would subtract 120 - so unix time would be 1341403080.

This is the point where you take todays time at noon July, 24 2012 - 1343131200 and subtract 30 (if you think it will take 30 second songs) and work backwards as many times as you need. Each time you subtract one from that number you are one second earlier from noon today.

I don't have a good method for generating the number lists, that's why I bothered a friend. Anyone with a basic level of programming knowledge should be able to generate the list (I am not a programmer unfortunately).

I was trying to figure out how to do this for 2-3 years. Once I finally cracked it for myself it wouldn't be fair to keep it to myself.

First off - make sure you insert the blank columns I have listed in the article otherwise it won't work. I'm not typing the exact information - but you can do lookups on the musicbrainz database - http://musicbrainz.org/doc/... and pasting the lookup into the Musicbrainz database should tell you what it is. It's possible they updated the script I used and it might be the added the Musicbrainz album ID. You have two choices. You can either just delete the column. You search the musicbrainz director to make sure your other columns are in the correct order and try to narrow down if it is a musicbrainz ID by throwing the number into every possible search parameter they have.

When you renamed it and then imported it to your spreadsheet program - did you select tab delimited as the format?

So what are you doing - i.e. which search terms are you trying for. I have a few terms that are number one (for 4 years I held the number one spot for "greatest accomplishment of mankind", my answer - online pizza ordering).

It is just the only time I can think we got you angry enough to start yelling. It's just one of those life moments that come to the mind and it was so long ago, I thought I would share the anecdote.

You have worked hard and deserve this success. So many people give up on their dreams, especially those that deal with the arts. You are living it. Always be proud of yourself and keep moving forward.

Quick update - they found out he was non-religious in November. The t-shirt incident was also a few weeks ago. Just to set all the facts straight.

I should try to get a job re-architecting their site. I'll leave the design work to someone else, but there is soo much they can do with that site that they are not.

If I ever leave and unexpectedly come back I will throw a fit - otherwise I can get my hand stamped. It's an annoyance, not a deal breaker.
