http://kaaosa.com Kaaosa's blog en-us Blog David Kaigler http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:18:04 -0500 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 03:10:08 -0400 15 http://kaaosa.com/read/25/ What? An update? Strange, I know. I've been busy behind the scenes, working on Kaaosa.com: Version 9. A few features this new version will have are as follows:

• Complete linking of all kaaosa.com subsites


• Ability to save your GSPID to your profile to allow for shorter image links.


• Ability to send messages to other users via the site


• Greater customization to both the Metroid and Animal Crossing images

This is just a small taste of the things I have planned for the site. I'd also like to hear suggestions from all of you as to what you would like to see in Version 9. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/25/ Kaaosa.com Tue, 31 Jul 2007 03:10:08 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/24/ You know how if you read a news post on the Turnip market or the MP:H stats page, to make or read comments you have to come back here? Well, I'm thinking I want to make it so that you can view/make comments from those pages. At least until Kaaosa.com version 9 makes its debut (enjoy the Goombas while you can). dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/24/ Kaaosa.com Sat, 03 Feb 2007 22:28:25 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/23/ Since I started the Turnip Market, several users have suggested that I add a messaging feature to it. Well, I can't say I'm very prompt with the updates, but I have begun working on something. I won't give any sort of timetable or deadline, since I'll never meet it, but it might just be done before February is over. Maybe. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) ACWW http://kaaosa.com/read/23/ Kaaosa.com Sat, 03 Feb 2007 22:18:58 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/22/ So I got around to fixing the Metroid stats today. It took me about 5 minutes. I don't know how it got broken but it was easy to fix. Now that I"m in the mood to do some work with my sites, maybe I'll actually get some of those updates I promised done.

Only time will tell~ dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Metroid http://kaaosa.com/read/22/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 01 Feb 2007 01:20:25 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/21/ So I haven't even looked at the code for the Metroid images yet. I just had to come clean. You see, I bought Guitar Hero 1 and 2 two days ago, and now all my free time is devoted to playing it. I've even taken a break from World of Warcraft.

I'm thinking that once I beat hard on both of them, that might break my addiction somewhat, so I'll get back to fixing the images after that. I hope. However, GANNONSMASH has informed me that it may be Nintendo's fault, so I might not even have to do anything. Awesome. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Metroid http://kaaosa.com/read/21/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 25 Jan 2007 03:15:07 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/20/ Yes, I've noticed that the Metroid profile images aren't working. I am working on fixing them, but I'm not quite sure what the problem is yet. As soon as I figure out what it is that caused them to stop working, I should be able to fix them quickly. Thank you to everyone who alerted me to the problem, and I apologize for the downtime. I'll keep you posted. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Metroid http://kaaosa.com/read/20/ Kaaosa.com Fri, 19 Jan 2007 20:59:56 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/19/ If anyone noticed, Kaaosa.com and all the subsites of it were down for a little while this morning. I forgot to pay for another year with the kaaosa.com domain so everything died for a little bit. I did pay though, so now, as you can see, everything is back! I'll try to remember to pay before it expires next year. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/19/ Kaaosa.com Sat, 30 Dec 2006 00:29:41 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/18/ You know, I have to wonder, if the computers at Google that index my site for these context-based ads were to put Kaaosa.com into a definitive category, what would it be? Thanks to the shoutbox and lack of content, I've seen everything from ads for gay sex to ads for military gear. More than once, they've been side by side. I hope the other four people who come here regularly are getting as much of a kick out of it as I am. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/18/ Kaaosa.com Mon, 04 Dec 2006 23:02:39 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/16/ I'm playing my Wii! I'm so happy with existance right now. I am a boxing MASTER.

Actually, my Wii is updating right now, so that's why I'm posting this. If my Wii was playable, I'd be playing it.

Let's all chop up some Yakuza, alright? For Jesus. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Gaming http://kaaosa.com/read/16/ Kaaosa.com Sun, 19 Nov 2006 09:56:26 -0500 http://kaaosa.com/read/15/ Yeah, I finally joined the rest of the internet and added some Google ads to the site. Why? I'm not entirely sure. I'm not so foolish to think that my little experiments are getting so much traffic that this will give me any sort of income, but I decided what the hell, I'll do it. Thus far, I've made a whopping ten cents. Too bad I won't see any of it until I earn $100, as that's when Google sends out the checks.

Well, I hope nobody is disappointed in me for selling out or anything like that, but if you are, I'll get over it. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/15/ Kaaosa.com Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:43:15 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/14/ Just as I did with the Metroid Prime: Hunters Image Profiles, I've begun linking the ACWW Turnip Market with Kaaosa.com. Relevant updates from Kaaosa.com will be visible on the Turnip Market site and user accounts from there will be usable across the network for any future endeavors Kaaosa.com should take on.

Also, a number of users have emailed me to let me know that the ACWW profile images are not displaying names. I am actively working to fix this bug, but I cannot say when it will be fixed, because I hadn't changed anything when it began (and so I have no real idea what might be causing the problem), and nothing I've tried chaning thus far has worked. I'll keep you all updated.

EDIT: Ha! Fixed it. Profile images are once again functioning as they should. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) ACWW http://kaaosa.com/read/14/ Kaaosa.com Fri, 27 Oct 2006 20:52:58 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/13/ I tried setting up the MP:H image profiles to add entries to the spy page on Kaaosa.com, but the page had to update so fast that it kept breaking. So, I removed that and I'll get around to it later. I definitely want to get it working. It was pretty cool each time I checked it, to see how fast things were moving.. until it broke each time. Oh well. I'll make it happen sometime. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Metroid http://kaaosa.com/read/13/ Kaaosa.com Fri, 27 Oct 2006 20:29:22 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/12/ So I'm getting back in tot he swing of things with these images, and I'm wondering what I should update next. I've taken a look through my old code, and it's a bit embarassing. The first thing I might do is rewrite the whole thing. If I do that, when it's finished I want to try developing an interface to allow users to customize all aspects of their image profiles, from positioning of individual elements to colors to size. That's going to be a pretty big undertaking, but I think I can do it. I think it's something that's been due for a while as well. If any of you out there who are using the images have any suggestions, let me know; I am building these for you guys, after all! dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Metroid http://kaaosa.com/read/12/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 26 Oct 2006 06:03:00 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/11/ So I decided to make Kaaosa.com a centralized hub sort of thing for all the sites I run. To start that process, I made it so that the news at http://metroid.kaaosa.com is the same as the news in the metroid category here. I'm going to do that for http://turnips.kaaosa.com as well. Then I'm gonna do a bunch of stuff to make running them easier for me. You people won't see that stuff though. That stuff is just for me. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/11/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 26 Oct 2006 05:00:00 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/10/ Hmm. My enthusiasm seems to have fizzled out. I'll think of something to do around here. Just give it some time.

Hmmm.. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/10/ Kaaosa.com Wed, 21 Jun 2006 09:45:43 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/9/ The RSS feed is up. Point your aggregator to http://kaaosa.com/rss/. What a useful addition. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/9/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 04 May 2006 20:03:02 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/8/ So I think my next task, aside from the always daunting task of creating content for this site, is going to be to make a RSS generator for this site. No, it's not so immensely popular or informative that people are going to want to have the latest tripe from kaaosa.com at their fingertips, but I've got nothing better to do with this site. It'll give me something to do in between working on The ACWW Turnip Market and those Metroid Prime: Hunters images.

Oh, and nice try to those of you who tried sneaking around and guessing subdomains, but I'm sorry to inform you that mariokart.kaaosa.com doesn't exist, and probably never will. Same goes for tetris.kaaosa.com. Keep searching though; you might just find something. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/8/ Kaaosa.com Mon, 01 May 2006 17:24:05 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/7/
Remember Nintendo's console code-named the "Ultra"? That name was so cool! Now they changed it to the "64" I can't believe what Nintendo has regressed to. And look at that controller! I DON'T HAVE THREE HANDS. How am I supposed to play that thing!? What will my parents think when I ask them, "can I have a 64?" "Sixty-four what?" This console will never work. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Gaming http://kaaosa.com/read/7/ Kaaosa.com Fri, 28 Apr 2006 17:04:09 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/6/ Added a Spy page (similar to Digg Spy). It's not useful in any way, but it's kind of neat. At least, I think it is, and I get to make all the decisions. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/6/ Kaaosa.com Fri, 14 Apr 2006 03:16:40 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/5/ Messing around with the scriptaculous library. Using it make make the transition between showing and hiding comments a little smoother. Also, for no reason, I made it so you can sort the menu list. It doesn't save between page loads, so it's pretty much useless, and I'll most likely disable that later. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/5/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 13 Apr 2006 21:00:35 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/4/ The Oblivion Construction Set is great to play with. I built a couple spells and recorded some videos of them here. One of them does 1,000,000 fire damage per second for an hour, and one of them does 1,000,000 fire damage to everyone within a 1,000,000 foot radius. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Gaming http://kaaosa.com/read/4/ Kaaosa.com Sun, 09 Apr 2006 20:59:17 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/3/ The new color scheme is done. Blue is a lot better than grey anyway. Hopefully it won't look like crap when I check it on campus tomorrow. Now the only important thing that's left to do is the shoutbox (which will go under the menu). Cool.

I wonder what I'll write about when the site building is done.. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/3/ Kaaosa.com Fri, 07 Apr 2006 04:00:08 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/2/ I just checked the site on one of the computers here on campus, and the background comes out as this gross, greyish-green. Did it look like that for anyone reading this? It looked like a regular grey on my computer. Oh well. I decided that I'd think of another color scheme some time today so that I don't vomit every time I come to the site on a computer in the Computer Science lab (which is where I do all my coding away from home). Whee.

I really don't want to go to Calculus right now..

iAi dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/2/ Kaaosa.com Thu, 06 Apr 2006 17:40:15 -0400 http://kaaosa.com/read/1/ Well, after a fair amount of planning/putting things off, I've picked up the redesign of Kaaosa.com again. Seeing as this isn't going to be a Taste the Infinity-style site, building it should take too long. That is, of course, true only so long as I don't get lazy again. dave.nospamplz@nospam.kaaosa.com (David Kaigler) Kaaosa.com http://kaaosa.com/read/1/ Kaaosa.com Wed, 05 Apr 2006 23:57:03 -0400
