  Recently I had a prob­lem when I moved my blog from blog.fantikerz.com to fantikerz.com. I had far too many links on other sites that still looked like http://blog.fantikerz.com/?p=261, and wouldn’t redi­rect to the new blog’s loca­tion. I wouldn’t even know where to start if I had to change all of those.

  Instead, I threw together a sim­ple redi­rec­tion script that I thought I’d just share in case any­one needed it. It’s noth­ing fancy at all, and stu­pid easy to set up. There are many ways of doing this, and in my opin­ion, this is the easiest.

  Designing Cloudy

  I chal­lenged myself to design a basic site in an hour or less while tak­ing a screen­shot every 10 sec­onds. At what ended up being 1 hour and 9 min­utes, I missed my mark -  but only by a lit­tle bit. Over­all, the end result is decent, but noth­ing spec­tac­u­lar. Given more time I would have prob­a­bly refined the header sec­tion a bit more and spiced up the wel­come area. Keep­ing in mind the time con­straints, the sim­plic­ity and bar­ren­ness can be over looked, in my opin­ion. Look for the full size image after the jump.

  Things that Irk Me

  Sit­ting here wait­ing for my Steam items to down­load (Mir­rors Edge and Assassin’s Creed, thanks for ask­ing), I began to pon­der the phrases, words, and actions that are my pet peeves. I now present them in a neat, alpha­bet­ized list that you may use as a ref­er­ence when com­mu­ni­cat­ing with me.*

  Just know that there’s not any par­tic­u­lar rea­son for writ­ing this, and you shouldn’t take any­thing seri­ously — unless you’re Anthony or George. There might even be some things that you agree with, but don’t be sur­prised if there isn’t. In all seri­ous­ness, this post is really self-centered and is mostly a joke.

  Google Suggestions

  Alright, so I was try­ing to see if MSN was down by Googling “is msn down”, and some some­what com­i­cal sug­ges­tions popped up when I punched in the first word. This sparked a short-lived Googling frenzy. Here are my highlights.

  I never found out if MSN was down..

  11 Catchy or Feel Good Songs

  All this post is about, is feel good , and catchy, songs. As a music junkie, I come across them quite often, and I even have a playlist of them on my iPod that’s 150-ish songs deep.

  What makes a song catchy? A nice beat, of course, with some­times clever lyrics. The same thing goes for the feel good songs, which will prob­a­bly have some more mean­ing­ful lyrics.

  I fig­ured some of you might enjoy some songs on this Sat­ur­day morn­ing. Here are some of the bet­ter ones, after the break…

  Coldplay

  I’ve finally found my new favorite band, Cold­play. I’ve liked their music for a while, just not this much until recently. With their 4th album to be released soon, it’s hard to believe they’ve made so many great songs. Their music is light hearted, deep, and all entan­gled within an awe­some beat… most of the time

  I’ve pre ordered their new album, Viva la Vida which promises to be promising.

  Of course you’d never want to take my word on some­thing, so take a lis­ten to some tracks (includ­ing their lat­est one) for your­self, after the break.

  RuneScape Gathering 2008: Aftermath

  It’s over… and appar­ently it was a suc­cess. Bil­lions (not really) of peo­ple showed up, and enjoyed them­selves… for the most part. Worlds 126 and 127 filled up com­pletely, hours before the event even started.

  I per­son­ally hung out with Regicidal1 for a while, and we went over to Clan Wars and lost mul­ti­ple times. I pwned with my Mith stuff… But hey, who cares about me?

  Videos and pic­tures after the break.
