Apparently, pandora doesn't do too well at album covers. I wasn't aware that kedollarsign-HA was an actress on the icarly tv show, so cool!

Academia further mystified #4

My class where I had an insane amount of homework, and a near impossible takehome exam, which I know for a fact I did less than 50% of the homework and had under 80% on the exam, both got perfect scores, just like everyone else in the class. Its 1/3rd my grade.

Anti botnet wordpress security practices

So, you got hit by the wordpress attack yesterday. I did, you did. We all did.

Freaked out yet? It was a huge botnet trying to crack your password

Anyone who doesn't know, a botnet is a large number (usually over 100,000) of computers all infected by some form of an attack, that can be remote controlled. The botnet yesterday was around 100,000.

Things you can do to protect yourself against it.

Academia Further Mystified #3

You may have noticed I haven't blogged as much as my usual OMG SO MANY POSTS amount this week.

I've been overwhelmed with school, along with my job. It's not that school is hard (well it is, but that's not the issue). It's that my teachers really are bad with scheduling.

New shop!

So, you may have been wondering why there is a shop button on my site now. It links to http://shop.techderp.net

Why Twitter et al. will continue to fall to Google+

I know this post is not being posted to Twitter, but I couldn't fit it in Twitter's character limits.
STRIIIIKE ONE!

Now that thats out of the way, here is my official reasoning on why Google+  is the master race of all social networks and all that related blasphemy.

Warning labels on a humidifier

Sometimes the warning labels on things necessary horrify me. Do not pour any water into outlet. Lol what? Do we live in a society where someone thinks this is a good idea? This concept flat out terrifies me. Please make it stop waaaah. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Incase you're wondering, I got a new vicks 1 gallon pretty snazzy germ killing humidifier

It makes an interesting whirling noise.

These are my thoughts on CSS.
For those who don't know, CSS on Wikipedia, or W3 Schools

Making Wordpress Fast, Quickly

So, you decided to take the plunge and made a Wordpress site, then you loaded it up, and were like... holy crap this thing is slow! Y u no wordpress fast? MAKE IT FASTER RIGHT NOW!

Gun deaths caused by tangerines

I often argue with people on the internet (*gasp*, who would have guessed)

For example, lets look at the gun death statistical evidence, in many states, gun violence increases with gun ownership, while in other states, gun violence decreases with gun ownership.

Windows 8 isn't bad, you're just using it wrong.

Cthulhu Public Service Announcement

Are you aware of the dangers of elder gods on the internet? It's a real threat.

One out of 97 young girls have nearly been abducted by an elder god. They may come back alive, but they do not come back sane. It's a life long damaging problem that we need to increase awareness of. Talk to your children. Every child told about the problem can be saved from the problem. To properly train against these situations, please consult Realm Of The Mad God

The only way to cure eldergod insanity involves a tri flux capacitor and some very suspicious people in a mall parking lot.
The best method to deal with an elder god is to avoid the elder god in the first place. Think of the children please, just think of the children.

Things I discovered #2

I just discovered, steam has a game called "drop that beat like an ugly baby" and another one called "drunken robot pornography"

This is quite odd to me, but it's kinda cool

Network from hell

This post might be a bit technical, so if you're boring, don't bother reading it.

Disney Princess Derps

This falls completely under the derp category. Seriously, hardcore.

I'm really sick of disney princessification btw. You know mulan? TOTALLY NOT A PRINCESS

Will not compute

Oh internet I love you

I didn't know stack exchange had comedians.

What made it even better was this comment below

Virus??

Anyone else have this experience? I've never seen someone complain that they have a virus, while having an actual virus.

More often than not, their "virus" is a broken windows install, or having 5 antivirus programs installed simultaneously.

What is the most common cause of "viruses" for you guys?

Man vs Pizza

I'd recommend keeping your fingerprints despite legal advantages of having none. I hate you pizza pan. I love you frozen green beans.

I discovered what a horrible idea it is for you to keep your pizza tray, in the oven for storage.

Turned the oven on.

Waited for it to heat up.

Realized pizza tray was in oven. Took it out with oven mitts.

Took mitts off, grabbed foil

Carefully added foil... slipped up a bit

OMG MY FINGER IS ON FIRE OMG OMG OMG OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING AND IT'S NOT EVEN 3:17 AM

Yeah, don't do that.

Slightly less than epic fan reviews

So, I ordered some fans.

I'll give a quick synopsis of my fans and then explain why nearly all fan data is irrelevant.

Academia further mystified #2

So I have a data structures using c++ at my local university. The teacher is pretty flexible with things, and he's pretty helpful.

Thing is, he doesn't use any form of cloud storage, our grades aren't listed on the school website, to get files from him, we have to physically bring a flash drive to class, and copy it off his computer.
Nearly every teacher at this school uses blackboard.

He also requires us to print out all of our assignments, on physical paper.

I thought this was a programming class, not an ancient script!

WATER YOU DOING SCHOOL!?!?

Atleast his projects are reasonable.
