Slow Loris

by nemof on Jun.24, 2009, under News

The slow lorises are three species of loris and are classified as the genus Nycticebus. These slow moving strepsirrhine primates range from Borneo and the southern Philippines in Southeast Asia, through Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, India (North Eastern India, Bengal), southern China (Yunnan area) and Thailand. They are classified as vulnerable or endangered species, and are hunted for their large eyes which are prized for local traditional medicine. The Indonesian name, malu malu, can be translated as “shy one”. They are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Website update

by nemof on Jun.20, 2009, under News, Personal, Site

Well I’ve decided to start using my website again. It seems kind of pointless to have this place and not do anything with it. Unfortunately I had to leave my old host as they were terrible, this is a note for you hostcolor, uptime is a necessity not a luxury.

My sister Jessa has a professional photography website journalling her excellent work. It’s important for her to be able to access her work and email when and how she needs. Hostcolor had frequent outages that resulted in her having to call me, and me feeling very embaressed.

Now I have switched to a company uniquely name A Small Orange. Their prices are reasonable and so far I’ve had no problems with their service. Time will tell.

In my experience trying find reliable hosting is like trying to find an honest quack, it’s complete pot-luck. It’s hard to trust any reviews site because they are all circle-jerks of webhost companies scratching each others backs. One place I found it easier to get an honest opinion was ask.metafilter.com. An excellent community of people ready to answer your questions. There is a one time fee for joining metafilter, but in my experience it’s well worth it.

The Pain

Currently I am suffering from abomnible pain in my right calf muscle. Sciatica is a bitch, and even though my back is better, my leg hurts like someone has stuck a fucking needle in it. Ugh! Does anyone know a way to work this pain out of my muscle, because it’s not something I want to have to deal with the rest of my life.

Digg Top Ten Normalizer, an excellent Digg Greasemonkey script

by nemof on Jun.20, 2009, under Software

Here is a great greasemonkey script called Digg Top Ten Normalizer. It rewrites the digg sidebar to link the stories directly to their respective websites, rather than the comments section – that however is still available below each link.

If you don’t have greasemonkey already get it now, it will change how you surf.  The Firefox addon describes itself thus:

Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.

Along with Userscripts, a repository of GM scripts, it gives any Firefox user the tools they need to make their favourite website that bit more functional.
