2010 Slow Bob Results

Holy crap Jason threw a whole round less than I did!

2010 Slow Bob Results

So there you have it. 893 throws in 5 days! It was a great trip. Really a good time finding and playing a boat load of new courses. Next year we are thinking Orlando area, and a C-Tier. As nice as it is to play in A-Tier tourney's, we all concluded the competition just amongst ourselves is a lot more fun.

Finally a judge that gets it right on Rights!

"Walker called the results of the vote on Proposition 8 "irrelevant" because (he quoted from a ruling in a 1943 case) "fundamental rights may not be submitted to a vote." As he explained: Moral disapproval of a group or class of citizens does not suffice, he said, "no matter how large the majority that shares that view. The evidence demonstrated beyond serious reckoning that Proposition 8 finds support only in such disapproval. As such, Proposition 8 is beyond the constitutional reach of the voters or their representatives." Walker also shredded the argument that marriage should remain between a man and a woman because of the need to procreate."

Dynamic DNS + BIND + DD-WRT

The problem is that if your DNS is on BIND, there is no option in DD-WRT to update it. The following workaround works nicely.

1. sign up on dyndns.com

2. select a hostname on dyndns, lets say we set up example.doesntexist.org

3. set up DD-WRT DDNS service to update this dyndns hostname. Enter your dyndns credentials into DD-WRT and configure your dynamic hostname to update.

4. in your zone file in BIND, create a CNAME entry pointing to your dyndns hostname.
; Dynamic DNS
example        IN      CNAME   example.doesntexist.org.

Viola!

Enjoy your easier to remember dynds hostname.

[cboyer@cboyer zones]> nslookup example.cboyer.net
Server:         xxx.xxx.25.25
Address:        xxx.xxx.25.25#53

example.cboyer.net     canonical name = example.doesntexist.org.
Name:   example.doesntexist.org
Address: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx

How to remove Thompson's Water Seal off car windows

I managed (for the second time) to get thompson's water seal sprayed on my car (the Elantra I just traded in). Obviously if you wish to avoid this, move your car. But if you are like me and forget, again, the following will get those specs off your windshield. Thompson's website is useless for this, and apparently most people are smart enough to move their cars because I found very little on the subject via google. So the following comes from some trial and error.

Windex with ammonia. Regular Windex does not work. You will need a bit of elbow grease here.

Acetone. This works much faster, but be very careful. It could screw up paint or the rubber stripping around the window. Use windex to remove the glaze it leaves.

Gasoline. Again works nice but can harm unintended parts. Use a degreaser window cleaner after to remove the glaze the gasoline leaves behind.

Does this make me a soccer dad?

Today went looking for a used minivan. Ended up with a new Dodge Grand Caravan. It's the basic model and very few frills, but should serve our purpose for years to come. Complements the Wrangler nicely! My camera was acting up. Think the lens got touched.

Picnic Table

This was the 4th of July weekend here in the US. I spent the weekend at my parents cabin in Pocahontas County. On Saturday I mentioned how nice it would be to have a picnic table. A few hours later and a 2 hour trip to Marlinton to buy materials we got one built and usable. We used the plans for a simple table from http://members.shaw.ca/bomr/ptabl.htm The table turned out really nice. With no cross members we are a bit leary on how the stability will hold up over time, but for now it is solid. Here's a crappy pic I took with my phone from the car when I was leaving.
