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.

  • Random Album Cover – the Creative Commons Way

    i’ve been waiting for someone to tag me on that 25 things meme, mostly because it’s come across a couple of the blogs i read, but i guess i either have no friends or everyone knows everything there is to know about me.  either way poor, poor, pitiful me.  anyway, i’m getting my revenge by…

  • ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

    so i’m working on this site which is for a Dom who crafts floggers and whips and cuffs.  and you know, part of the reason i bid on this project was because i had actually bought my first flogger from someone who was doing the same thing he was and had an online store, probably…

  • i know it’s all in the name of technology, but…

    i’m all for google street view.  i laugh at the claims of invasion of privacy when people file lawsuits against google street view when they find themselves on google maps.  i am amused by humorous street view photos like the one with the guy in front of the camera or the one where they ran…

  • how windows 7 (inadvertently) helped me find a virus

    so the other day, i got a notification in my systray that msdt.exe was corrupt, and possibly i should do a chkdsk to repair the problem. after seeing this crop up several times, i decided to take the message’s advice.  i stopped paying attention at some point, when i realized the chkdsk was gonna take…

  • windows 7 beta review

    so, i’ve been running win 7 beta on my main machine for a little while now and thought i should share my thoughts, since, you know, that’s kind of the whole point of this beta thing… boot time bootup time is significantly faster than vista and xp.  i’m actually pretty surprised at how quickly it’s…

  • server intestinal implosion

    so the server is having issues. i’m getting a lot of slow loading pages and error 500s on the wordpress sites i’m running.  when i contacted 1and1 to report the issue, i got this fantabulous response: me: > Hi– > > I have multiple sites running on my shared hosting > package, and I noticed…

  • Puppy!!!

  • and the award for dumbest news of the week goes to…

    the state department, after a “reply-all” storm caused their servers to crash.  apparently, not only were people pissed at being included on the reply-all lists, and sent angry replies, but the problem was further compunded by more traffic caused by email recalls.   i’m left speechless.  read the post and scathing replies on /.
