COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

Passionate about (X)HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL. I am a wannabe evangelist for these technologies. I also love spending time with my family and listening to music.
RT @josh412: Does anyone have any WordPress development or content writing they need done? I’m trying to gather funds for WC ATL trip.
That's a new one for me. Just saw a teenage boy wearing skinny jeans that seriously needed to be pulled up.
I seem to see that a lot around here (not as a sartorial choice, but because the pants just don't fit correctly.) - Jennifer Dittrich
what I don't get - and i do see it around here - is how you could get on a bus or into a truck or even walk up stairs with skinny jeans with the crotch half way down your thighs? - Christina Pikas
This is a pretty awesome little aside about a couple I went to college with. They met David Tennant at some fan meet & greet over the weekend, and his FB fan page called them out. https://www.facebook.com/davidte...
I am seriously jealous - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Won't it be quite a moral twist if it turns out that #PorchDick is the abused, not the abuser? #TheWalkingDead

And, here is the Salisbury Steak on my plate with need potatoes and green beans. #foodhat https://instagram.com/p...
I wish this recipe made more gravy than it does. Might need to double the amount of broth I use next time. It was very tasty, though. It's an America's Test Kitchen recipe. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Making homemade Salisbury Steak again tonight. Hoping it turns out even better than last time. #foodhat https://instagram.com/p...
Sitting in a movie theatre for the first time in many years in order to check out #Cinderella with the family.
Getting ready for kidlet's last indoor game of the season. We're the 2nd game, and the field is already running 20 minutes behind schedule
RT @dimensionmedia: If you remember Sierra (makers of Kings Quest & Space Quest) and wonder what happened to them: http://www.nodontdie.com/al-lowe...
RT @emrgencykittens: A cat can work out mathematically the exact spot to sit to cause the most inconvenience. -Pam Brown http://t.co/kseM7W4aGp
Just finishing up the first episode of #AmericanCrime. Looks like it will be very interesting. I do so love Timothy Hutton. #Leverage
I thought it was impressively edgy for a broadcast network. Hope it keeps being good. - Starmama
Also, if you haven't checked out #Kongos yet, you really need to; especially if you're a fan of #ArcticMonkeys (somewhat similar vibe)
New @celldweller album dropped today! Yes, it's available in the #XboxMusic marketplace. Checking it out now (& know I'll love it).
Missed the boat on watching a movie with the kidlet tonight, but hopefully we still have time to play a short board game.
So excited to see how far frenf.it has come already. This could really, actually be a refuge for us now that FF is going away.
Seems, when using #Logitech 5.1 speakers on 2-channel, the rear speakers play both channels; only front speakers are separate left/right
Strange. Got a new set of #Logitech speakers for my computer. The right-front, right-rear & left-rear are all playing same channel.
It's a set of 5.1 speakers with the option to do 2-channel (basically the same as the 5-year-old Creative Audio speaker set I'm replacing). My computer only has a headphone-out, so I have to do the 2-channel. When I adjust the balance to mute one channel, sound still comes out of all but one speaker. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Just did some more testing. It seems, when using 2-channel, only the front speakers are left/right; the rear speakers are on both channels. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Just tried to login to client #WordPress site; got "Database needs to be upgraded"; got crashed table; now all content is set to "post" type
Looks like most recent backup I have of the site is from December 2014. I've told the client they should contact their host to see if they can restore a DB backup more recent than that. This sucks; and this is exactly the type of thing that happens when clients insist on staying with cheap, terrible hosting where no one has the kind of access they need in order to do things properly. :( - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Inspired by Stephan Planken (https://friendfeed.com/stplank...), here is my "Useless Apple Crap" folder from my iPad.
Never heard of Photo Booth, is that iPad only? Edit: is that included with the iPad only? - Stephan Planken
Appears to be, yeah. Ive never used it, though, so I can't tell you exactly what it does. I will say, though, if there was a way to change the default browser and Mail apps, I'd relegate them to that folder, too. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
That would be a nice option, yes. - Stephan Planken
I can't remember exactly how I ended up joining FriendFeed. I think I'd heard my old buddy Allen Stern (may he rest in peace) mention it a few times, but I don't think I actually signed up until I virtually met Holden Page, back when he and Alex Wilhelm were blogging together. How did you end up on FriendFeed?
My friend Cass told me about it. She's still got an account, and for a while there she was the only person I was really connected to on FF. We lost touch soon after I moved to NorCal. - Corinne L
I just remembered it wasn't Robert Scoble. I ended up on here and Twitter, Aug. 2nd, 2008 after a discussion at Triiibes.ning, which was a group of about 1000 people who pre-ordered Seth Godin's Triiibes. There was a discussion over people's Twitter handles, and some people also offered up Friendfeed. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy
I had seen it mentioned a few times on science blogs as an alternative to Twitter, so I decided to try out FF and Twitter at the same time (along with a few other social media services). I initially was more active on Twitter but gravitated to this place over time. - John (bird whisperer)
I heard about it from a friend in 2008 so I joined. At the time, I wasn't on any other social media sites. - Tamara J. B.
Trying to clean malware off Thing 1's laptop. Pro-tip: vulnerabilities don't go away on their own & AV does no good if you never update
I think about 25% of the software on her computer was some form of adware/malware. Her AV software hadn't been updated in over a year. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Just tried to send a message saying I'd pick up soda on the way home. My swipe keyboard decided I meant "drugs". #dyac
There is a very delicate balance in design between making something look too busy & making it seem like items are floating in nothingness
Making a page design responsive doesn't help much if you're loading 15 megs worth of images onto it. #RWD
RT @ericstoller: What the "infamous" college chat app Yik Yak looks like at the University of Oklahoma right now http://www.washingtonpost.com/news...
RT @lowfierce: Can anybody assist me with how to capture HDMI footage from a PS3 to an AverMedia Live Gamer Portable? #FGC
Checking out a new album called "Codename X" from a group called Excision. So far, this is pretty great. Somewhat like The Prodigy
When filing taxes, what do you normally do if you haven't received a 1099 that you know you're going to get? What do you do once you get it?
I'm reporting the income on my taxes, but TurboTax won't let me eFile without those EINs. I'm planning to just file the taxes through the mail, but I'm not sure if I will still need to amend my return after I get the 1099s (even though I've included the income from them in my return already) or not. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Just got a response from one guy that said "If I don't have to send you one, I won't, but I'm not meeting with my accountant until March 30." Ugh. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
RT @erunyon: @cgrymala Because then even more people than now would try to touch my screen which means the number of broken fingers would increase.
Why do MacBooks still not have touch screens? Seems like a trivial feature that would add a lot of utility.
