Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • app review: skimmer

    application: skimmer result: undecided with so many great twitter and social networking apps out there, there’s a lot to choose from, and some stiff competition. and with so many social networks and a lot of crossover between them, you’d need to work hard to build something to suit everybody. this is a review for a…

  • The Kitchen Sink is your friend

    Today I’m going to talk about the Kitchen Sink. No, this isn’t a post about plumbing (thankfully — I hate plumbing). This is about the Kitchen Sink in WordPress. I can see your double-take already.

  • Fixing bullet points (list items) in WordPress

    As I was working today, I got a request to fix an issue in which bullet points and numbers for ordered lists were not displaying at all.  The list would display, but the bullets would not, and this was especially frustrating when using an ordered (numbered) list. The problem To understand the problem, first you…

    teh anti-4th(of july) s3quence

    i always make these playlists for various holidays that are the opposite of the norm.  so, like alien sex fiend’s “stuff the turkey” or the ramones’ “merry christmas (i don’t want to fight tonight” for christmas.  in that spirit, and in the spirit that dissent is patriotic (even though, for the first time in a…

  • another sad event in history…sarah palin resigns

    i will throw my two cents in. today is a sad day in history.  sadder, even, than G-Dub’s last day in the white house.  why?  because no longer will we be able to look forward to such gems as this from sarah palin’s resignation: “We know we can effect positive change outside government at this…

  • teh (metal) s3quence, version 5

    teh (metal) s3quence, version 5

    i was listening to a mix cd i made of stuff i listened to in high school and junior high and the beginnings of it is all this old 90’s era metal that i was just discovering through friends and mtv, and it made me nostalgic.  nostalgic and singing along to “hangar 18” at top…

  • MOOSE!!!

    d00d. we just saw a m’f’ing MOOSE in the park that is one block away from us. that might not be much when you live in the middle of nowhere, but this is downtown salt lake city (okay, not quite downtown, but close). that moose-shaped object in the picture is, in fact, a moose.

  • disnts…isn’t

    this will be my last disnts post.  why? because they’re boring.  i’m boring myself talking about it.  the lives of my sims just aren’t interesting enough to warrant a blog about them.  maybe i’m too involved, but it seemed to me like when i left free will to do most of the work, they just…

  • disnts: downtime

    charlene and jimmy challenge each other to a game of chess. the winner? jimmy, actually, despite the fact that his sister has the genius trait. the next day, she practices chess after school before she needs to go to work. jimmy, too, practices chess at the park nearby after he finishes his homework. while there,…

  • sims 3: the disnts

    i’ve been playing sims 3 a bit after being inspired by alice and kev. for those who haven’t seen or heard about them, alice and kev are two homeless sims in sims 3. the way alice and kev’s player portrays them, it seemed like there was quite a lot of serious ai advances and the story…
