Generate python code from Glade XML files

Why can’t I find a code generator that works? Tepache is a code sketcher for python that uses pygtk and glade, but it is broken and it looks like it hasn’t been updated since July 2005 anyway. Gladex was broken out of the box. Autocode does not like my glade and the documentation is limited.

Stupid Month-Day-Year Age Verification on Websites

I hate age the Month, Day, Year age verification on websites. Some kid is going to see that and enter their real age? Seriously? That’s more of an IQ check. And for you guys collecting the stats on how many people you turn away, you might want to think about how many people may have accidentally mistyped the year. Congratulations, you just turned away another customer.

Windows Live Hotmail is Garbage

I have a hotmail account. I’ve had it since 1996, so there’s some nostalgia there, but it’s garbage. Sure it looks smoother than it did in 1996, but it’s still the same old weak sauce with the same basic features it had a decade ago.

Apple ipad is nothing more than mobile itunes

Give me a real netbook any day of the week. Touch screen is nice, but I just can’t get on the Apple band wagon. I’ve tried, believe me I’ve tried. The sad part is, we’re conditioned to Apple’s dictatorship. There’s no expectation of an Apple device to allow you to do what you want with it. We’ve never known freedom with any apple device, so why should we expect it now?

Steams Modern Warfare 2 update fixes squat

Care package runners are still too fast, and by care package I really mean any of those package grenades that allow you to run as if you’re speed hacking. Model 1887′s still have too much range, although they did make somewhat of an improvement. I still feel cheap using them, so i’ll continue to skip them in favor of the previous shotgun. But the big problem I have is with the various texture and XP hacks. I think their fixes lasted on the order of minutes or hours rather than days.

Modern Warfare 2 hackers desperate for multiplayer kills not skills

After seeing the aimbot and wall hacks proliferate throughout the Modern Warfare 2 servers, I decided to find out just how easy is it to get these hacks and what kind of people actually buy these things. Check this guy out, he seems desperate! If his skill at FPS games is anything like his ability to spell and punctuate, maybe I could sell him auto grammar assist, what do you think?

Bono the digital suppressor

It’s easy to see which side you’re on Bono-the-digital-suppressor. Why you even bothered to mention America in that statement, I have no idea. You should get together with Metallica and start a clan.
