Some Pics of the yard

April 25, 2009 By Robert Owen

I was cleaning the kitchen... got cut by a piece of glass. So, I decided I should take a break from that and went outside to take a few pictures while the bleeding stopped...  Of course then I went back inside, started cleaning again... got cut again... Took a few more pics. Cleaning shouldn't be painful! At any rate here's a couple of shots that I thought turned out pretty well. Here are a couple of shots of the Dogwood blooms in my yard: Here are some shots of a Dandelion trying … [Read more...]

This week's Friday Funny was once again something I got in my e-mail... My friends have lots of time on their hands. Keep em coming Guys!

Pretty URLS for WordPress on IIS

April 23, 2009 By Robert Owen

I've been playing around with my site again. Trying to work out the beauty of my urls. I thought they looked pretty good... Well, similar to what I'm used to from BlogCFC anyway. The urls were like this: www.owenwebs.com/index.php/xxxx/xxx/xxx etc.. Which is not too bad... Better than the default: owenwebs.com/?p=13 or something silly like that. But, I've seen them better around the web. And made it a goal to get mine to work that way also. After a bunch of Google-ing I found several … [Read more...]

The Pirate Bay is Going to the PO-PO!

April 17, 2009 By Robert Owen

Just saw over at  Ars Technica that the Sweedish Distric Court trial about the Pirate bay has ended. And, it appears it has ended BADLY for the Pirate Bay. Here's a clip from their article: The Pirate Bay "spectrial" has ended in a guilty verdict, prison sentences for the defendants, and a shared 30 million kronor ($3.5 million) fine. According to the Swedish district court, the operators of the site were guilty of assisting copyright infringement, even though The Pirate Bay hosted none of the … [Read more...]
