Creative Abstractions (huri.net) is a tour de farce of pure
and simple insanity. Loud mouthed opinions, whacked out thoughts,
crazy comic strips, twisted stories, bizzare software and dark poetry.
Sound like something you might enjoy? Take a look inside.

Life... (2009-06-25) / the passing of time
Well, June 22nd was my off-the-net 30th birthday.
It was good not staring at a computer screen all day.
Anyway, at least I was getting another year older.
The very next day we lost
Ed McMahon,
and today he was joined by
Farrah Fawcett and
Michael Jackson. Sad losses, all of them.
Panarchism as an ideal (2009-06-02) / political braindump
Thinking recently about the Omnique Way, and some of the concepts like
Voluntary Society and
Community Standards. One of the cornerstones of the
concept is the idea that you could have a community of theodemocratic
communists mixed in the middle of a community of technocratic capitalists.
This is very similar to the concept of
Panarchism, which
I endorse as its own standalone movement outside the scope of the Omnique Way.
Anyway, this is just a brain dump, I'll expand out my thoughts later in a
proper article. Until then, be free!
Streamlined Interface Debut (2009-04-07) / site news
Due to feedback on the new interface introduced in January, I've now updated it to a new
streamlined version. The side-bars are gone. Less clutter, more what you're looking for.
The box is now centered rather than full screen, which should make things easier to read.
Since the side-bars are gone, the "random thoughts" are now only found on the main page.
There may be some missing sections, such as
screenshots, but that's
because I'm planning on integrating the screenshots page into a subsection of
scrawl.
Please let me know what you think of the streamlined theme.
Windows is the Future (2009-04-01) / linux is dead
Well, I have finally come to my senses. I am tired of all
of the quirks and issues with Linux, and am switching to Windows.
In the next few weeks, I'll be moving my websites onto a new server
running Windows Server 2008, and replacing Zimbra with Exchange.
It will be such a relief to not have to mess with command lines and
configuration files. Read the rest to find out more.
Reverse Polish Calculator in Perl 6 (2009-03-03) / From the Blogosphere
And now one for those who say Perl 6 isn't the coolest thing since sliced bread.
I've been reading the Perl blogosphere, and found a couple of posts that show off some
what happens when you convert an advanced Perl 5 program into Perl 6. The results are definitely
amazing.
principle or pragmatism (2009-02-27) / Jeroen Vermeulen answers
I was recently reading an
interview
on a blog, and came across this answer to the question:
"What's more important? Principle or pragmatism?"
Check out the article, as the answer given by Jeroen Vermeulen is brilliant!
Virii vs the real world (2009-02-12) / pedantics vs the real world
Geesh, the comments on
this article, make me
realize how pedantic (and pathetic) sounding a lot of my fellow geeks are.
Sorry to tell you this, but for the large majority of the non-geek world,
a virus is any form of malware that infects computers,
regardless of its fundamental nature. The average Joe would look at your
comments and say, "Worm? Trojan? Malware? I don't know what those are, but
stop sending me viruses in my e-mail!"
Sharon Harris Rocks (2009-02-10) / libertarianism in the real world
Sharon Harris speaks the truth. I couldn't have said it better myself.
New Theme for a New Year (2009-02-04) / site news
Well, for the first time in over 5 years, huri.net has a new look and feel. This time it's not just the main articles that have been themed, but jargon, shade and scrawl have been updated to use the new theme as well.
Poems and Comics, Updated! (2009-01-17) / status update
Yes, it's true,
Shade and
jargon
have been updated! It's amazing. In the case of
Shade,
I have now finished Volume I.
It didn't end quite the way I thought it would, but that's okay.
In the case of
jargon, well, it's working on the path to 500 strips!
On September 15th of this year,
jargon will celebrate it's 10th
anniversary. I'm hoping that some time before that, it will celebrate it's
500th comic strip :-) Anyway, more updates coming soon.
