Happy 30th birthday Pac-man
And in honor of that you can now play Pac-man on Google’s front page. Today and tomorrow anyway.
Maybe they’ll do the same for Street Fighter’s 20th birthday. ;)

The A-Team, there is no plan B
A remake of the 80′s tv hit series, without the original cast, this just HAD to suck.
But surprisingly, if the trailer is anything to go by, it doesn’t. I’m now actually looking forward to seeing this in the theater. I do hope the old guys make a cameo somewhere in the movie.

SQL to change your WordPress links
A simple quickie in case I ever forget, and you might like it too.
Say you have static content, like a folder of pictures, you want to move or rename. But all your posts link to the old folder.
Here’s a quick way to update all your posts in sql, for example using phpMyAdmin:
update wp_posts set post_content = replace(post_content, '\/anime\/pics', '\/anime2\/pics');
In my case this replaces all the links containing ‘/anime/pics’ with ‘/anime2/pics’ as that’s what I renamed the anime folder to.
Note the \/ in the sql statement, you need to escape all your / slashes in the statement by putting a \ before it, or your get errors.

The iPad killer app
Well, maybe not, but close enough for me. This video shows Super Mario World being run on a jailbroken iPad and played with a WiiMote. If there ever was the perfect excuse to get an iPad, this is it.

Threaded comments
Something I’ve been meaning to add for quite some time, threaded comments. It makes it a lot easier to reply to certain comments and maintain the context. Give it a try and say hi. :)

Imploding site
[dropcap2]I[/dropcap2]t’s been a while, roughly 2 years if I’m not mistaken, but it’s finally time for a new theme. And I actually bought one. So far so good, I’m moving over content that was previously on other parts of the site (like the gallery) to here and discovering this theme offers a lot, but also a lot less than my previous layout. Not surprising of course as I’d been customizing the crap out of that one. I’ll do the same with this one but for now I’m just happy that it works. Mostly.
The general idea is now to concentrate everything into one WordPress installation, using it as my main CMS, instead of the previous construction with separate blogs, gallery and forum scripts. And do it in such a way that we can move forward for the next several years.
Comments are welcome of course, but keep in mind it’s still work in progress for quite some time to come.
