			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just spent a couple of hours cleaning link spam off of the <a href="http://gimpwiki.electricmessiah.org">gimp ui wiki.</a> What a pain in the ass.  Damn online pharmacys paying for people to vandalize other peoples wiki&#8217;s.  What they need is some insulin, metrazol, electricity, hydrotherapy, occupational therapy, ping-pong and amnesia.<br />
I added a bunch of terms to the $wgSpamRegex and hopefully I won&#8217;t have as much trouble in the future.  Unfortunatly I&#8217;m sure that the enemy will copy the email spammers and start misspelling stuff to get past the filters. <img src='http://electricmessiah.org/press/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Way back last month when I  was designing the theme for this site with <a href="http://www.gimp.org">gimp</a> I ran into a bug in the <a href="http://www.xach.com/gimp/previews/ripple.html">ripple</a> plug-in.  The anti-aliasing was totaly bogus.  Unfortunatly I had to finish the design in  photoshop because of it.  A couple of days later I fixed the bug in the plug-in.  I then let it sit on my harddrive for a month. Last night I finaly sent it off to cvs.</p>
<p>Some people might accuse me of being lazy.  I prefer to think that I was letting the bug-fix marinate.  You place the code on a hard drive with a mixture of open source spices and let it sit for a white.  It soaks up the flavors and makes the software much tastier.  Then again maybe I&#8217;m just lazy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Near the begining of this years snowboarding season I bought a <a href="http://www.burton.com/gear/products.asp?productID=24">Burton Triumph (169)</a> and a pair of <a href="http://www.burton.com/gear/products.asp?productID=83">Burton Cartel bindings (lg)</a> to go with it.  So far I&#8217;ve had about 10 days out on the new setup.</p>
<p>Up till now I&#8217;ve been pretty happy with the whole setup.  Last weekend I was at <a href="http://mammothmountain.com">mammoth mountain</a> boarding the back side and just had an awesome run off <a href="http://www.surfinside.com/Pic%27s%20Link/Snow%20boarding%20and%20Skiing%20Pictures/2005/2-05/mammoth%20february/fresh-tracks-on-hemlock.jpg">hemlock ridge</a> when the toe strap snapped.  I expected burton gear to be more durable.  Otherwise I&#8217;ve been pretty happy with the bindings.</p>
<p>Observations on the cartels so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>The cap straps are <strong>extremely</strong> comfortable.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever go back to regular toe straps.</li>
<li>The ankle strap is very comfortable</li>
<li><span class="subHeading">I like being able to rotate the Hi-Back, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to make a huge difference</span></li>
<li><span class="subHeading"> Having the hi-backs lock into place saves a couple seconds when strapping in, but they seem to pop out a couple of times a day.</span></li>
<li><span class="subHeading">The hi-backs are a little tall for my tastes&#8230; maybe I should have gone for the p1 carbons.</span></li>
<li><span class="subHeading">The rachets work well, but the levers could be a little more comfortable.</span></li>
<li><span class="subHeading">Already had to take them to the shop after only 10 days riding.  A very bad sign&#8230;</span></li>
</ul>
<p>They already cost me a couple of runs on a beautiful day&#8230; If this keeps up I may have to replace them with some <a href="http://www.technine.com">technine&#8217;s</a> like the guy in the repair shop suggested.</p>

Eventually I&#8217;ll probably add a gallery using Gallery2 and wpg2.
