Amazon.com listed four sets of D’Addario EPS520 ProSteels Super Light Electric Guitar Strings for $3.85 per set, plus $4.04 for shipping for a total of $19.44. Compared to $46.61 retail ($10.79 ea plus 8% tax). I’m thinking it’s a good deal. Having ordered all four, I now see the same items listed for $4.99 each [...]

Category: The Militia | Comments Off
“Contrary to what is claimed by many, the need for a militia continues to exist even in a world of hyper-lethal armies, and especially when engaged in asymetric warfare.” That’s a snippet. Read it all at The Volokh Conspiracy.

Healthcare: A Bill that Cannot be Repealed or Modified?
Category: Homefront, Politics, The Militia | 2 Comments
Is the Healthcare legislation a Bill? Or is it an Amendment? I refer to a clause in Harry Reid’s closed-door Healthcare bill that precludes changes unless a super-majority votes for ratification. [citation to follow]. Methinks the Senate Democrats have now crossed a bright line and landed squarely on Unconstitutional Avenue with their latest gambit in [...]

That Was Interesting
Category: Admin Notes | Comments Off
1) MySQL upgrade: Back-up old database; setup new database; import from backup. Check. 2) Edit WordPress config file with new database name. Check. 3) Guess the new DB_HOST name? Difficulty Level 7. Check. 4) Update to WordPress 2.9. Done. Step 3 was a little weird, but it looks like it worked!

(The “nut” is the piece at the top of the guitar neck that the strings are channeled over). So, today I packed it up and headed for the local Guitar [...]
