After several frustrating hours spent googling, I gave up trying to figure out a direct solution, so I'm using an indirect one. I signed up for ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20091019/ping-fm-to-the-rescue I found an interesting article today explaining how the reCAPTCHA system works and how it helps in the effort to digitize books. I think now I might possibly consider all those reCAPTCHAs I come across a bit less of an annoyance. Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20091018/recaptchas-minor-annoyances-for-a-good-cause All I want is to be able to display my own Facebook status on my personal website. So I go on a Google search to try to figure out how to do it. There are several Wordpress plugins that claim to do such a thing. Alas, after testing half a ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20091011/facebook-give-us-a-freakin-status-rss As much as I hate to use the same excuse over and over... I've been busy. We moved into the new apartment the first week of September. It doesn't feel like it's been over a month already, but it has! I think we finally got the last of the boxes out ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20091010/where-have-the-months-gone For the one or two people who were still bothering to check this blog, thanks for your dedication and I'm sorry I haven't had anything new for you for a few months now. Summer's kept me pretty busy with classes, work, and planning a move. I'll try to be more ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20090803/new-theme-yay Finals. They suck. At least the semester's almost over. I would like to share with you all the prayer that is heard all around campus during finals week: "The Student's Prayer" Now I lay me down to study I pray the Lord I don't go nutty If I should fail to learn this junk I pray the ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20090424/finals-2 Check out our uber-geeky Easter egg creations: The first one. The theme exploded from here. Walter... always trying to "1-up" me! Turn an Egg Shell into a Koopa Shell in 3 easy steps. GOOMBA! It all started with Walter drawing a smiley face on an egg that had been dyed yellow. He then remarked that ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20090412/easter-super-mario-style I tweaked the style on here a little bit. It displays as a nice blue on my laptop monitor, but on Walt's monitor, as well as the monitor here at work, it looks sort of... purple. And that just won't do. Back to the (digital) drawing board. http://www.moore-reel.com/20090330/tweaked-style Okay, so I never got around to updating after Valentine's weekend... and I have some unexpected free time this morning, so I guess better late than never, right? Going to update Updated! the Valentine's post below with the cheesecake-brownie recipe (by popular request!) And with Valentine's chocolate and Valentine's cheesecake-brownies comes... the ... http://www.moore-reel.com/20090302/february-updates
