Sam Ebertz Fails

This is just a note telling you that Sam Ebertz fails. Not only did he end his podcast without so much as a "last episode" episode, he was on the gadget show and totally wussied out on the "BLACKBERRY!"

I recently got to interview John Gosling, someone with a decent amount of reputation/dedication than I on a recent episode of my podcast. Then Studio Guy said "big week", and I ended up on the gadget show, where Sam failed. Then John guested on the innuendo show. So go check those out.

Here's a really moronic error involving a keyboard:

Keyboard error or no keyboard present. Press F1 to continue.

Now go away, I'm too busy playing StarCraft and getting a car.

This is the most amazing call out ever that Sam Ebertz will never read.

Have fun playing StarCraft. Watch out for cars?

You can't complain about this anymore. It's perfect!

Gone Home
Gone Home is a walking simulator from about 10 years ago, as was the style at the time. You play as Katie, a young woman who just returned to her family's house in (presumably rural) Oregon. It's past 1 AM, and storming. There's a note from your sister, Sam, imploring you to not investigate where she is. Mom and dad are off on a vacation of their own. There's no one home. You're left alone to explore this sprawling mansion by yourself.
Back to the Future
I've watched Back to the Future once or twice, and I thought it was an OK movie. I didn't think there was much to it, and the whole thing would be prevented with some very obvious safeguards. Of course, it's hard to not notice that it's been a cult classic for a long time. It's the only reason that the Delorean Motor Company is known outside of niche groups. Too bad their cars weren't as popular as those movies, and went out of business years earlier.
State of the Andrew Bailey, March 2025
Wow, I've had a scrap for this post lying around for years (since May 2022?). I guess it might be time to write about what I'm running this server and how it works, particularly since I've been rather active with releases on GitHub. I've had some massive changes to which software I use, reflecting how my relationship to technology in my life has evolved. Since I don't do a podcast anymore, this might be the only proper venue to share this.
Red vs. Blue
Soon after the Master Chief Collection came to Steam, I bought it. As I played through it, I made sure to document myself becoming a Halo fan. In so doing, I decided to dig into Halo machinima. I've encountered and even watched entire series of machinima before, but I never got into Red vs. Blue, the series that made machinima a big thing. Now that I've watched it all (or most of it), Red vs. Blue is the silliest series of anything that I've ever come across.
Toilet Blog Engine, Version 10
I've been improving this blog, despite not posting about it for 5 years. I've been quite active lately. My last post was about version 8, but now Toilet is on version 10. I'm not sure where to start with this, but let me describe some features that I've added. I've also dropped a few things, but that's for good reasons.
