Simpsons movie!

2:29 am — Geek, usmc

So, I realized that the Simpsons movie comes out the 27th — which, regardless of what I told my civilian boss, I will not be in another state for.

You’re god damned right I’m going to see it.

Javascript tomfoolery; go bye-bye soon

4:18 pm — Code, Geek, usmc

I wrote a few Javascript functions to streamline loading stuff in the sidebar (basically the same way the tagboard does it, but less bloated), then realized there’s nothing really to load, except for Google ads, which don’t seem to appreciate loading that way (I haven’t looked at it, but I assume it doesn’t want to get loaded without a referrer or via createXMLHttpRequest() or something).

D’oh!

Anyway, starting within the next week, I’m more or less unplugged for a month of annual training. (One of the more fun parts of being a Marine: getting paid to blow stuff up.) I may still have access to a phone, or I may be busy for 28 straight days. I dunno. I’ll probably update once or twice more before I head out.

(Edit: Yes, it’s supposed to be two weeks. I volunteered for extra duty because of my billet(s) — and because I have a lot more fun being a Marine than a civilian.)

Spent antitank missile found on front lawn

1:49 pm — The Funny, wtf

I saw this CNN story and immediately thought of Vissago.

Edit: You can reload AT4 shells. It’s not recommended because they tend to blow up.
