The sleeves came in and they work like a charm! They’re a much better fit than the basic standard sized sleeves over a regular Japanese sized sleeve with much less movement. 🙂

Let’s hope not! Not a fan of politics in my science news. They should probably have a separate publication dealing with politics and science so that those of us who don’t want to deal with it can just get our science fix. Or the other way around. Will probably still resubscribe as it’s the best way to get science news with the downfall of RSS. It’s a real pain to manually check each site and see what you missed, especially when some of them put the articles in popularity order instead of by date. The future of news consumption is pretty bleak if the community doesn’t add older features back in. 🙁

User feedback is now about ten to fifteen pages in and they cut the cartoons while adding a section where people can describe their own professions at the end, sort of a slice of life section. The political editorials are usually in the first few pages but they have published research articles with a political slant a few times. I generally skip those as they’re pretty biased and the end results are largely based on the data set.

Been getting some good content work done. Saving the other site stuff until I’ve recovered more but recovery is going well. Still have a minor lingering headache but it’s just about gone now so I suspect I’ll have fully recovered by the weekend 🙂

Yeah, I’ll go in if this sort of thing happens again. I did talk to my dad and he did say that it runs in his family so it sounds like it may be genetic. In the meantime, I’m calling it a glitch in reality 🙂

Copying this here so it doesn’t get lost (even if it is on the second page 😛 )

Had a quick but fruitless trawl for “playable” TCG WP plugins, the most attractive looking one is the octgndev at wordpress.com, but of course we’re at least 12 years late, and things have changed considerably since then. Is there any chance at all with the Pokémon TCG SDK?
As for databases, wpdatatables is sure to do the job, though rather big, Energy Search will want a brush up, MTG Tooltips possesses certain charms. 🙂

Added a (very) short blurb on card grading

Everything’s working on this end in Chrome. Could be some code deviation between the two browsers or just a random hiccup?

They’ve been having quite a few hardware issues in the Atlanta, Georgia data center as of late so I may opt to transfer us to one of Linode’s other branches with fewer hardware issues at some point. Lori had similar issues with Atlanta a decade ago, which is interesting. I wonder if the infrastructure is more frail in general? Could be something with the utility grid, I suppose.

Grandmother’s House was pretty good. It relies mostly on story telling with little violence, language, or sex which made it a nice breath of fresh air. The star attraction? It features Uncle Leo! 😀

Ugh! Even Nature is getting political now 🙁

Just renewed the domain. Dynadot made a boo-boo in our favor. The renewal was supposed to increase to 12 USD but they charged us the bulk domain price of 10.19 USD. Going to need to send them a note at some point. Only did one year this go around in part due to the other expenses the last few months.

I’ve updated the first post with a list of official card databases for the big three TCGs 🙂

No worries! With one thing and another, I haven’t had much time to get going on stuff myself. Still need to do some research on a few things that are bugging me, too. Will get there!

Downtown does have a few thrift stores that weren’t on the map. Going to need to check them out when I get more opportunity. Always did enjoy the second hand stores 🙂

Recovering from a bad migraine from last night. Feeling better but I did black out after my shower this morning so I’m taking it easy until I fully recover. In the meantime, I’m reading Calvin and Hobbes again. It never gets old 🙂

Some notes on double sleeving: I’ve been using Japanese size sleeves from Dragon Shield enclosed by Dragon Shield standard size clear matte sleeves but the fit isn’t tight enough so the inner sleeve damages the outer sleeve when it jostles around. Sadly, my LGS doesn’t carry Japanese size outer sleeves so I’ll need to order those, more than likely. Really makes me sad as I do try to give them the business when possible and feel bad when I have to purchase from elsewhere 🙁

Decided to talk to the shop before ordering and they were more than happy to place an order. The lesson? Doesn’t hurt to ask! 🙂

Mansion of the Doomed wasn’t bad, if a tad repetitive. Eventually, they go into a montage of kidnapping and harvesting but I feel as though they overdid it a tad. Would have been much better if it focused more on the actual transplant research, like The Island of Dr Moreau, than the constant stream of victims.

Old, banged up satellite dish acquired. Let the hunt begin!

Really dislike Summer. The heat and humidity really make it difficult to sleep and do things during the day. Even at 0500, it’s still close to 80°F outside. 🙁

[Spastic Hamburger]

Ugh. Yeah, definitely sounds like more UPS issues. Not much fun when everything decides to go belly up all at the same time 🙁

[Spastic Hamburger]

Rewatched Killer Klowns the other day. It pretty much speaks for itself. It’s a blast! 😀

[Spastic Hamburger]

Lovely. I wish we could get to the bottom of that bug. It’s pretty annoying 🙁

Energy Search does look intriguing. Quite like the embed options 🙂 An option to have card info hover over the card name when you hover the mouse pointer over it may be a nice addition if some plugins have that feature.

You had mentioned you were having trouble finding current plugins?

If you want to look at plugin creation, it looks like you’ll want to use a different system as VS isn’t set up for PHP. Personally, I just use a text-editor (been using Geany for several years as it’s lightweight and has good code searching capabilities) for coding (C++, C, markup languages, etc) as it works best for me but here’s an extensive, but incomplete, list of IDEs. Notably, it’s missing GNOME Builder. You could also check out Visual Studio Code, which is sort of a more modular and lightweight version of VS

Edit:

Links got mangled. Sorry, can’t fix them 🙁

In the future, I may skip the firmware upgrades if they’re going to be that much hassle 😛

You can most likely skip the monitor’s HDR settings. It’s different from the old style HDR, which I’ll call software HDR. The new HDR is monitor based and the programs that take advantage of it are few and far between. Older programs, say five years or older, use software HDR which modifies the lighting in the software instead of using the hardware lighting. Hopefully that makes sense 🙂

HW Monitor will be able to provide a lot of extra details. It’ll also let you monitor certain stats like voltage and temperatures in real-time. It may be useful for the other system that’s experiencing some power issues. May help tell you if it’s getting enough juice 🙂
