I’m officially a quarter-century old. Let me be the first to say thats “friggin old.”. That is all. Thank you.

Just installed UltimateTagWarrior? Converted all your categories to tags? Dissappointed that your imported categories are capitalized and capitalized tags look stupid? Fear not! Fire up your favorite MySQL client and use this simple SQL query on your Wordpress database:

UPDATE tags SET tag = LOWER(tag);

I found it handy so maybe somebody else will.

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.4 tonight and decided that at the same time I might as well give my blog a bit of an “overhaul”. So if things look strange or suddenly stop working, its because I’m replacing the gerbils that run the internals of my site.

Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing “Snakes on a Plane“… If you haven’t heard the buzz I must say it is the finest piece of cinema I’ve seen in a long long time.

It was a celebration of terrible cliches and hilarious one liners. A movie where you can tell they probably started with the goal of making a “real” movie, but about halfway through they realized that would never happen and said “aw fuck it, lets just make it so bad it’s good.” And it was so so bad, and yet so so good…
