I rarely blog about sports, ok I rarely blog period, I know. Tonight I watched the Affliction: Banned MMA fight with Fedor Vs. Tim Sylvia. I’m a big MMA fan, you wouldn’t know it by reading my blog though.
If there was any doubt by anyone in the world that Fedor is not the greatest MMA [...]

After the passing of Spot back in May, my girlfriend Emily and I decided it was time for a new companion. Today we picked up our 12 week old Bengal Cat Max (I nicked named him McLovin when Emily is not around!).
For those who don’t know what a Bengal Cat is, it’s a cross breed [...]

New Themes

June 1st, 2008 No Comments

I finally upgraded Wordpress to the latest version, and unfortunately my old theme no longer worked with the new Wordpress version. I had that theme since the Wordpress 1.x days, so its been many years and probably time for an update. I’ll be experimenting with various themes. So if you are viewing my site and [...]

For those that don’t know, Spot passed away this morning at 4am after having surgery the day before. She had liver disease.
RIP Spot. You were a great cat, and my best friend.

I’ve been neglecting gilfether.com for a while now. I’ve been focusing on my other website ventures and haven’t had time to do anything with my personal website. If any of my friends, or even strangers have any ideas on some kind of common theme I should use for this site, let me know. I’d like [...]

For a few months now I have been frustrated by Mandriva 2008 and getting ndiswrapper to start at boot up. For some reason Mandriva insisted on loading the BCM43xx module even though I explicity set up ndiswrapper as the driver for my broadcom wireless card. I had tried everything from modifying /etc/modprobe.conf to using the [...]

Shared Birthdays

September 15th, 2007 No Comments

Here is the list of the most noteable, at least to me:
15 BC [...]

We’re back!

August 6th, 2007 No Comments

You may have noticed that the site has been down for a few days. Gilfether.com moved to a new server. In the past I had been hosting Gilfether.com on an old desktop out of the office of my daytime employer. However, as some of you may or may not know, I have resigned my position [...]

I need to rant for a second, something is bothering me …
Interest rates have risen again! This is the highest they have been in well over a year. I’m going to auction in a week for another investment property, and now I’m forced into having to finance with a crappy interest rate, my only saving [...]
