Digg Removes Rank Completely!

mushroomking — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 04:14:51 +0000

Digg has just removed the rank from users’ profiles. This means that it is now impossible to see a user’s rank, and third-party Top Users lists will no longer work. Is Kevin Rose making a huge mistake?

NMSU uses Podcasts to Educate Troops

mushroomking — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 22:44:14 +0000

The idea is simple: Provide airmen at Holloman an entire course, minus the mid-term and final exam, on an iPod. The digital media devices are bought by NMSU specifically for this project. Upon returning from deployment, the troops turn in their iPod, and then take the mid-term and final.

EBWS: Spread the word!

mushroomking — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:21:22 +0000

In case you guys don’t know, eBaumsWorld sucks, so Abi “LegalCondom” made a site to spread the word to the world at eBaumsWorldSucks.com.

If you haven’t already, thank him. The effort he put in for this site is tremendous.
You can see it all around the site. I personally like the complaints section of the site, although I do like the flash animation just as much.

If you would like to spread the word across, EBWS has made some buttons you can place on your site. You can get them at http://ebaumsworldsucks.com/archives/8-EBWS-icon.html.

Go ahead. Spread the word.

Here is the User Bar I created for EBWS.

If you want the original PSD, leave me a line.

New Copyright Law drives the CloneCD sheep away

mushroomking — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 08:43:19 +0000

The Swiss based software company, Elby, has stopped the sales of CloneCD due to the new legal situation. (For those who aren’t familiar with CloneCD, it was one of the best 1:1 disk copiers on the market today.)

Microsoft Antispyware: over 4GB of diskspace used

mushroomking — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 21:49:37 +0000

I was scanning through my computer looking for bloated programs and I came across Microsoft Antispyware. I went to check it’s disk usage and guess what is was:

4,324,919,915 (4,325,470,208 on disk) bytes.

I was a bit starled at this number. The source of the p roblem was the log. Yes, it was a txt file. It was a 4GB txt file.

I was wondering why this was. It ended up it was the beta version of the program and just an abnormal bug. I just uninstalled AntiSpyware all together, because it’s use has been expired since July, 31 2005.

So, if you still have the old beta installed, GET RID OF IT OR SUFFER MASSIVE DISK USAGE.

Greetings

Hello, I am Mushroom King.

I have created a Weblog from WordPress.com, which was made available to me through a very special group invite sent automatically through the WordPress.com server(ok, so not that special). I saw it in my inbox and said, “I must make a blog! Wow, I must feel special, like Mecca.” So I quickly typed in all the form information and have spawned a weblog.

Now as I type this post I think what content I shall post to all the web subsribers of the world! I think I will not merely type, but post pictures as well. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but as a JPEG it is worth about one: Ducky.

Now to post a picture…

Here:

Well, thank you for reading and remember to syndicate to my blog!
