masodo's musings

Pardon our dust as we grow to serve you better

We are back! I have finally completed the server migration for the complete family of DeBurger Photo Image & Design's website destinations.
Of course BlogDogit.com was priority-one, since that is the source of all my ad revenue, so to speak <*wink*> but once it was going again (a story in itself) it was Oaklandon calling for my attention. 

Both BlogDogIt and Oaklandon are running in the latest version of GeekLog [2.2.2] and just so you know, that version is not compatible with PHP 8.2.28 without some programmatic tweaking ;) <= it had to be said.</span>

We have lost our media gallery plug-in feature but hopefully that can be restored since it contained some really good resources for Oaklandon fans.

The biggest problem I've seen has been the occasional missing post - triggering "404" errors. If you come across a missing resource I would appreciate a heads-up. All resources have been backed-up so it is likely a case of misplaced fileage.

For now I have disabled the ability to register/join this online community website. However, if you wish to sign up for creative access please email/pm me through provided channels.

ORI.NET - Your Local Internet Partner Since 1996The process of migrating to another server has involved moving several websites and is a far-cry from over as I work through related issues as they pop up. I suppose the challenges involved are the reason I even run these joints to begin with ;)  Check out DeBurger.com for the many on-line destinations now hosted, from right here in the neighborhood, via the premium services of On Ramp Indiana. We are so happy to be back home again in Indiana - Oaklandon in particular.

°±²Û OBJECTIVE / STORYLINE

Pilot your home-made airborne caveman aircraft to pick others up and drop
them to their desired destinations.  Very fun game!


°±²Û COMMENTS / OPINION

Ugh.  You probably won't believe it, but this game is really cool!  It's only
approx. 150k zipped up, and is only around 430k decompressed.  But it's a hell
of a game - quite addictive.  It's also very fun with the Gravis Gamepad just
piloting the airborne elevator around.  <Heh> The graphics anything special -
they're pretty cute actually.

The story is that you, the cave(gentle)man, wants a cool chick.  In order to
get the chick to like you, you need money.  I guess by being an elevator man
or more a taxi driver, you can earn money.  Basically, you go around picking
cave dudes and bring them to their desired destinations.  But of course it's
not as easy as it sounds.  If you fly too fast, you might crash into the stony
platforms and kill yourself.  'Don't land on your customers, or you'd have to
pick them up from the water (or jus let them drown! <evil smile>)  Pick up the
stone and drop it on the tree to earn yourself more time.  If the rhinos are
in your way, or if the birds are annoying you, drop a stone on them and
disable them (for a few secs).  On various levels, there'll be rain, sometimes
there'll two birds, and sometimes, no trees!  So be careful and use your time
wisely. Patience is the major key to this game.  Well, great game overall!

Have fun!

     Well, this was quite a fun game.  It may get frustrating at times,
so you need quite a lot of patience for this game.  Here are the pass codes
'just in case you can't get pass a certain level.  There are 69 levels in
all.  Some of these passwords are really long and weird.  Beats me how the
author came up with these, heh.  Well, have fun!

Regular vs E-85 Price Equivulator

masodo's musings

85 percent EthanolFor several years now I have been driving a "Flex Fuel" vehicle - which means it can run on different blends of gasoline and ethanol. In my area I have a choice to use either Regular Unleaded or E-85 (85% ethanol fuel and 15% gasoline by volume.) The E-85 is typically priced substantially lower than Regular gas but there is a trade-off in that E-85 does not deliver the same mileage as Regular.

When fuel prices climb higher, the lower price of E-85 looks all the more attractive. However, it is hard to decide at the pump whether the lower cost is worth it, vis-à-vis the reduced fuel economy. In order to make an intelligent decision as to which would be more cost effective, I dusted off my limited javascript skills to devise this gizmo that painlessly compares the two options in terms of cost per mile.

Of course, it is up to you to discover your relative miles-per-gallon for each type of fuel. Once you are armed with that information you can enter those into the form below (my values are automatically inserted but you can change them to your own), along with the price of one or the other type fuel. Click the "EQUATE" button to learn the break-even price for the other.

The New Dig Icon"Eujinks woz ere" was a simple message left on the InfinitelyRemote.com GOPHER site GuestBook. Of course in this game, that is very much like a "BEEP" on the metal detector.

This time we dug up some pure gold... Enjoy!

In The Spotlight
SundialToo much time has passed since we last shined (shone?) the BlogDogIt spotlight on a worthy internet destination but, as luck would have it, someone from the mysterious world of the fringe internet has seen fit to mention our sister site, InfinitelyRemote.com, as a prime example of the treasure trove of internet goodness that may be had when touring the obscure realm  of gopherspace [end run-on sentence here]

Below is a republishing of a thoughtfully written article about the simpler, side of internet life. This guy might really be on-to something here...

I think I did something good last week,in a way that's expanded my optimism about alternative ways of using the internet!

[Forgive me if I make any technical errors in the below; I’m passionate about computers and the old internet, but I’m far from an expert. If you are an expert on archaic networking terminology, please accept my outpouring of sincere love for the fruits of your personal interest as apologies for my ineptitude!!!]

So I’ve been messing around with a vintage 2001 iMac G3 for a while now (yes…computers released in the early 2000s are “vintage” now… the_future_is_now_old_man.jpg). I bought it a month or two ago, and had a lot of fun simply exploring Mac OS 9 and loading images onto its beautiful CRT screen. Unfortunately, I was clueless about how to actually mount disk images, a required step in order to install most of the abandonware available for free download online; special thanks to Macintosh Repository and Macintosh Garden! I finally made a breakthrough when I located MR’s FAQ section and figured out how to do it, but that’s not what this post is about.

Now that I was using the iMac more regularly, I also spent more time in Classilla, the most recently-updated (to my knowledge) web browser for classic Mac OS. It actually received its final official update just last year. While exploring Floodgap’s website (they host the servers for Classilla’s front page, and may have been involved in its development? I can’t remember, sorry), I found a door to a whole “new” realm of the internet: Gopher.

Reality of Mathematical Patterns

Mandelbrot fractals provide a very compelling glimpse into the wonder of plotting mathematical formulae.
Play with zooming-in to a selected point of the plot (and zooming-out by clicking the outer margins) and free your mind to reveal the mysteries of the universe. This utility will zoom-in to the extent of your computer's ability to resolve. Keep in mind the original shape will grow to be larger than the known universe as you dive deeper into the abyss.
