Well, my headphones went out on me the other day. One of the ear pieces is falling off, I’ve had to resolder the wires several times, they are just falling apart. So I go get some new ones, and thought “wireless, that would be cool”. So I do some quick research, and decide on the Sennheiser ones. These guys are supposed to be the shit when it comes to headphones. Well, that sorta fits…

First off, they are very light. Light is usually good, but when it comes to speakers, light usually means cheap. And that’s exactly what they were. Now, I don’t mean cheap as in price, cause I paid $140 for them, but cheaply constructed.

Secondly, it’s using the 900MHz signal. I guess I never noticed how much static is on that signal, but it’s worse than listening to FM radio. Just full of static.

The speakers are really crappy sounding as well. Just cheap, like paper cones. No warmth to them at all, no base reproduction.

Lastly is the battery life. Initially you have to charge them for 24 hours. That in itself isn’t that dramatic. Each charge to full after that is 14 hours. If that isn’t bad enough, a full charge gets you a little over 4 hours of use. I couldn’t believe that when I read it in teh manual, so I had to test it out myself. I was flabbergasted…

Bottom line, these bitches are going back tonight.

Well, I have embarked on my first JavaScript endeavor. I have never really written JS before, just copied and pasted someone else’s and hacked it to make it work. Hell, one of these days I might become a real web developer…

Many of you know I am in the middle of changing hosting providers. Well, if you see this post, the domain musingsofanidiot.com has been transferred. Huzzah!

My new hosting provider (JVDS) looks to be pretty solid. They have some nice features such as a support message board not only trolled by their admins but other users of their service who are all eager to help. I love having a VPS hosting setup. It gives me so much more control than just a traditional hosting setup. I can do pretty much anything I want. Here is where I normally confess to screwing up, but I’m not gonna admit to doing any of the things I, in all actuality, probably did. Also, I <3 Fedora.

All you authors out there, your passwords have been reset to your username. If you wish to contribute and don’t remember your username, contact me and I will be glad to let ya know what it is.

Btw, this new look is MT 3.0, so I have to find out what the new cool features are. So the style, color, etc I don’t get credit for. However, I am working on a groovy new design for this blogger. I hope to have it up in a couple weeks.

I took an idea from Kevin Barnett and am making some “historical posts” as I get a chance.

My hosting provider (Bytestacker) is unfortunately closing his doors. Sad to see him go; has been a fantastic service. So I’m on the lookout for a new hosting provider.
