Cabin fever got me out of the house right around noon, and the goal was to try to stay out of the house at least until 5:00 PM. And dammit, I pulled it off. The original idea was to hit my favorite Persian grill in all North Virginia, then walk across the parking lot to [...]

Alec Esoterica was right: there’s too much hand-held camera usage in this movie. It gets worse when you watch the movie from the second row of a mini-plex that can seat maybe 25 people: not only are you dizzy from the stupid hand-helds, but your frickin neck hurts too. That aside, the movie is awesome. [...]

I am all for using the trackpad, but sometimes you just get sick and god damn tired of control clicking. At home I share a cheap piece of crap Microsoft Optical wheel mouse (< $20) with Ivette since we only use it for games, and we are rarely playing at the same time. At work [...]

First we got a $700 cell phone by Motorola, and now EE Times is crying wolf because the cell phone is sucking in more and more functionality, which means electronics providers have to pump more resources into making these cell phones more versatile. The problem: they are not making money. Why? Because most cell phones [...]

At my previous job we used to have this hypothetical discussion about who should run the CIO (Chief Information Officer, the top IT dog in the house from the “I” side) and CTO (Chief Technology Officer, the top IT dog from the “T” side) spots and how much each job would span. We had all [...]

(lots of miscellaneous ramblings follow) The day came and went in a haze, and for the second afternoon in a row I walked into the house and passed out for over two hours. Obviously my body is telling me I need a little bit more sleep than whatever I am getting. I am also getting [...]

No, I did not stop writing. No, I am not losing interest in blogging. Let’s say that a combination of sleep deprivation and an overwhelming interest in teaching myself PHP 5 (which is turning into a full-blast obsession) is taking a toll on my writing and I just don’t have as much time left to [...]

The Register sets its aim on the new Motorola V3 mobile: Motorola launched its sleekest clamshell phone yet yesterday, pitching the aluminium-clad V3 at the PowerBook crowd and other “lifestyle” users who “want something different and are prepared to pay for it”, the company said. The V3 is certainly impressive to look at. It’s brushed [...]

Mylobean just pulled a fast one on me. He ordered a text ad thru Market Banker, and I approved it without checking it first. Now see what the smartass spent $5 on: “pvera” is one of my IRC nicknames. “Uncle Juarez” is a secret: if you don’t know then you should not ask. For real.

I know that this is available elsewhere, but as an exercise I decided to try to see if I could figure it out on my own. The result is this: 1: <? 2: /* 3: *Function to generate WP Links with a category count 4: *How to use: call pvp_generate_category_links() instead of wp_list_cats() 5: *whenever [...]
