  • Monty Haul Campaign – Gates @ The Forefront

    Old, I know, but I just died laughing. He’d hate playing if I were DM.

  • FListBox: getSelectedIndex Hack

    If you remove all items from an FListBox after selecting an item, it will still report that you have the 0 index selected. Obviously, this bs. After a post on the list, I found some code from a dude with a similiar problem, but no go. So, here’s the best way I know to “reset” the FListBox to go, “Oh yeah, I need to actually look at myself and see if anything is selected before returning bs information.” No, I didn’t look under the hood to find out why… it’s Friday, mofo’s.

    Issuing:
    <pre><code>this.list_lb.setSelectedIndex(null);</code></pre>
    Will effectively refresh it, so to speak, and give you the correct index of “undefined” if nothing is selected.

  • PNG Petition

    Just doing my part to spread the word. I used to get made fun of by my friends because on my first interview with this company, I asked if they used PNG’s. After their response of no, what are they, I proceeded to detail why they were so cool.

    Anyway, please sign up, even if it’s a bogus email. I don’t know the credit of the actual petition, but something is better than nothing. PNGs RULE!

  • Van Side Service

    This is the second time I’ve been asked if I’d like an entertainment system by a shady couple of young guys in a white van while living in Atlanta. I heard a story once where some dudes stole it, and the guy caught ’em, furiously banging on their van, at a gas station. Hence, I politely declined. The parting comment was I looked like I was about to kill somebody. My friends make fun of the face and attitude I wear in the car while driving… maybe they are right in that I look all “I’m too cool for you.”

    If I look like a stuck up murderer, then why are these guys asking if I want to buy an entertainment system out of their van?

    I’ve watched enough A-Team in my youth to be wary of unmarked moving vans anyway, so I’m sure that didn’t help my composure to appear open and welcoming to the casual fence looking to hawk his wares.
