Igor’s first poem

Hear the howls of the wolves my brethren,
Calling out on all hallows night.
Come let’s sup with them my brethren,
So we might join them for a bite.

Nosferatu the movie online!

Download the original Dracula movie! Well, the director had to make a couple of very minimal changes from the original story because the studio couldn’t get the rights, but the story is oh-so-close to the book - Jonathan Harker is still called Jonathan Harker and Stoker’s wife sued the studio into oblivian. Now we get [...]

JP Goth Nuke functional

This site now runs with PostNuke, a content management system using a MySQL database. Sounds great huh? Well, it’s not half bad, but there’s work to do and this area is where I’ll post updates up to and beyond February 1st. A lot of work has gone into getting it looking a bit like the [...]

Anyways, the page is sort of getting together. I’m in love with the PostNuke system ‘coz it’s the closest [...]

JP Goth 2 set to relaunch on February 1

Hey kids, JP’s got Igor strapped to the desk and ordered a new site before the month is out. Why? Because the program used to spit pages for the current JP Goth got fried. Well the computer got fried, and the disk was cracked so could not be re-installed for the recovery, if I have [...]

Cooking the code for JP Goth 2

Well with a dead CD and not much money in the kitty, Igor’s pretty committed to finding a no-cost alternative. Thank the Gods for open source. Unfortunately, having little experience with the new thingamejigs means a lot of trial and error.
Take today for example. A little bit of templating turned into the burnt chicken dinner [...]

Murder :: She’s a saucy sort

Happy new year honey!
A seventy-something was arrested on January 1st after taking to her husband’s head with several sauce bottles. Several condiment containers were found at the scene of the crime. Check the article on Mainichi.

California hunting energy vampires

At first I thought it was some kind of psy-powered undead roaming the US landscape, but it turned out to be just a bunch of consumer electronics. From one article in the San Francisco Examiner:
Phone rechargers, TVs, CD players, VCRs, and all those other appliances you plug into the wall and forget were called “energy [...]

RIP JP Goth :: Hail JP Goth 2

My neat little db disc now rests in pieces, waiting to reach it’s final destination in the garbage pile downstairs. This means that everything except the blog and the board are in a stage of stasis. C’est la vie.
Well, that’s pushed me into quickly rolling out JP Goth version 2 using PostNuke or some similar [...]
