Eagles vs Steelers
If any wants to know the weather, they can ask Ben Roethlisberger, since he spent most of his evening on his back looking at the sky. Current Mood:  happy | | Friday, March 28th, 2008 | | 9:57 pm |
Finally Finished
***Warning Computer Geek Terminology Ahead*** Three weeks ago, my webserver that I use for michaelulrich.com and for storing files and pictures decided that the time had come to retire itself. In other words, the main hard drive, motherboard, and RAM fried, probrably due to the power supply going and sending power spikes to the components. Anyway, I went up into the attic to see what parts I had to use to build a new server and realized I had nothing that could handle the load. So I ordered new parts from newegg.com, spent 3 days assembling the parts, installing a new version of Windows Server 2003, reloading and re-configuring the webserver and the file storage. Now the server is an AMD2 64-bit processor, 2GB RAM, 2 500GB SATA Drives setup using RAID1 (mirrored), 2 250GB EIDE drives setup also RAID1, which gives me a total of 750GB of redundant storage. The old server was a Pentium 3 with 350GB of Storage, so it is a bit of an upgrade. Then, once I finished installing all the software, setting up the drives, copying over the files (luckily I did not lose any data stored), I decided to update michaelulrich.com. So I redid the photo galleries to use a more robust and flashy slideshow and picture viewer. Then I added an FAQ page and a Usage Terms page. So that basically sums up my 3-week rebuild of the webserver, so check out the new photo galleries at http://www.michaelulrich.com Michael Current Mood:  accomplished | | Sunday, February 17th, 2008 | | 11:21 pm |

Irony moment of the week
So apparently Boscov's is doing a big promotion celebrating Hershey's anniversary. They have signs up around the store about a special discount and displays with Hershey's candy, etc. And the best part is that Hershey just announced it will be closing their factory in Reading and moving all the jobs overseas. So 700 people will be losing their job due to the factory closing by Hershey and Boscov's is doing a promotion celebrating Hershey.... wonder if the laid off employees will get an extra discount.

Gotta love politicians
So here is the latest example of Do As I Say, Not As I Do: http://www.tennesseepolicy.org/main/article.php?article_id=367For those of you who do not want to read this, basically it boils down to this: Al "Mr. Stop Global Warming By Conserving Electricity" Gore uses more electricity in his mansion in one month than the average American uses in a year. That would pretty much be like driving an original Hummer around on a conserve gas campaign. God I love the hypocrisy that are politicians.

Gakked from Karen
Definitely not me: Positive Traits • Generous and warmhearted • Creative and enthusiastic • Broad-minded and expansive • Faithful and loving Negative Traits • Pompous and patronizing • Bossy and interfering • Dogmatic and intolerant Leo Likes: speculative ventures, lavish living, rich food, children, drama, pageantry and grandeur Leo Dislikes:doing anything safely, day-to-day living, small-minded people, penny-pinching and mean spiritedness A typical Leo has the attributes of irrepressible playfulness, a sunny disposition, honesty, loyalty, and also spirit of self-sacrifice. You are the master of dominant, spontaneous, creative and extroverted character. Leo, a masculine sign, is self-sufficient, confident and tends to bravado. Most of you fabulous cats have a positive attitude to love and sex, but there are those among you who suffer excruciating pangs of anxiety in relationship. Being a typical Leo, you are ambitious, courageous, and strong willed, positive, independent, and self-confident. You are a straightforward and uncomplicated individual who know very well what they want and pursue it with complete enthusiasm and a creative spirit. You are quick tempered, blunt and nasty and when affronted you are deeply hurt by malice or hostility. You are too sensitive to personal criticism and when your dominance is threatened, you can go into a sudden rage. You are stubborn and will hold onto a belief or stick to a course of action through thick or thin. You are proud with an idealistic and humane nature. Basically Leos are outgoing, happy, kind and generous, self-expressive, intelligent and broad minded. In the art of lovemaking, Leo is ardent and willing, although not necessarily particularly creative. Your sexuality is powerful. The solar fire of the Sun rules your nature, so your whole personality is dynamic and attractive to others. There is no shortage of those who long to bask in your solar warmth! So definitely not a description of the shy, introverted, boring, quiet me. Current Mood: amused | | Tuesday, February 6th, 2007 | | 11:09 am |

Fat A$$ Andy Reid Does It Again
Now, I understand it was pretty obvious the NFL brass wanted the Saints to win (look at all the calls the refs missed against the Saints; on one play I counted 3 holds that the refs did not call), but did Andy Reid have to help by punting at the end? So lets get this straight: Your defense has not been able to stop the run all night. The only stop they make is when the Saints stop themselves by fumbling a toss. So it is 4th down with 1:57 left, you have two timeouts and cannot stop the Saints' offense. So hey lets send in the punt team. You know our defense will actually make a stop this time, I mean I know they haven't stop shit all night., but this time it will different. Andy Reid is fucking moron. Plain and simple. That was the dumbest fucking call I ever seen. My 4 year old knows better. There really are times when I do not know what the fuck the Eagles are calling. Also, did anyone see the refs tonight? One of the benefits of having a DVR is being able to do your own replays. On one of the Saints big screen passes, I rewound it and saw 3 holds on one play, one right in front of the referee. Not to mention the fact that at the end of the half and the end of the game, there were two plays that were mis-spotted by the linesman, but there was no review from upstairs. So one last time Andy "I am a good coach except during the last two minutes when my brain heads to the fucking locker room" Reid blew the game for the Eagles once again. And Jim "I will never make an adjustment at half-time" Johnson's defense helped along the way. What a way to end a season, on stupidity by the coaches.

Self-Checkout Pre-test
In honor of my experience at Wal-mart last night, I have decided to put my programming skills to use to help the world by creating a simple self-checkout line pre-test. Try it out: http://www.parenfaire.net/page1.htm
(This is to help elimate all those f'n morons who cannot figure out the press here to start buttons, but get in the lines anyway)

MichaelUlrich.com Photography Revamp
I just finished revamping MichaelUlrich.com into my new photography website complete with a newly rewritten picture gallery program. I was hoping to get some critiques and comments on what everyone thinks. Thanks, Michael P.S. Yes, I know the About Me page is blank. I just really do not know what to put there. | | Monday, October 23rd, 2006 | | 8:08 am |
FWDA
I have decided to start my own NFL football broadcasts. It will be called the FWDA channel - Football Without Dumbfuck Announcers. It will feature announcers who actually watch the same game as the viewers, which will be a totally revolutionary concept on television today. We will make due with people who actually know what they are talking about and have some knowledge and do not think Donavon McNabb is the MVP of the game after throwing 3 ints, 2 of which are returned for touchdowns. - Sorry Brian "Boo-hoo the Eagles cut me" Baldinger, but Westbrook was the Eagles MVP yesterday, McNabb lost the game for the Eagles.It will be devoid of such mind-blowing statements such as "It helps the offensive line when receivers do no shift because it makes them easier to know who to block." Now, on the surface this may look like a valid statement, but do you really think the linemen are concentrating on a receiver moving around or do you think they care more about the defense and where the defensive linemen and tackles are? - This was a Joe "the drunk" Theisman nugget of wisdom.
We will also do the old-school way of football camera angles where you can actually see what is going on on the field, instead of what the game would like if you could not get 50 yard line tickets. And last but not least, we will focus on the football game. Sorry to disappoint everyone who wants to know about what Jamie Foxx thinks of Tom Cruise (pick up a National Inquirer) and how Steve McNair is doing at home (give him a call and ask him off the air), but we will actually talk about when an all-pro safety is hurt and act like we care. So come watch the non-gossipping, non-clueless, actually showing the action, football network, FWDA. This advertisement was done by Michael G Ulrich and I support these statements. |
