Love the Random Text Exchanges that Never End
Keith, you sir are the man. This isn’t our first time we have been on a never ending text message exchange. The previous one involved variations of the surname O’Kane.
If you don’t know where that’s from, you haven’t lived.
PS – I love being able to take screenshots of my phone. You need the Android SDK though, it’s kind of a bitch to set up.
Hey, At Least I Can Make Fun of Myself
They say that you need to make fun of yourself sometimes:
Seriously though. It’s just about as good as an iPhone 4’s antenna.
Android App of the Week: Mangler
It’s Thursday, which means I forgot to write Wednesday’s Android App of the week post. Well, here it is. This week’s featured App: Mangler.
Mangler is an open source Ventrilo Client. If you don’t know what Ventrilo is, then it’s pretty useless to you, but Ventrilo is a push to talk voice server usually used by gamers. You usually push a hotkey to transmit and talk to people you’re playing games with. And now I can pop in to see if anyone is connected on the go!
Ventrilo is tricky, because it is closed source and development is very secretive. Someone was making a client for Linux and then this dude decided to port the code to Android. Amazing!
Mangler is in alpha right now and much more features are going to be added later. The fact that it connects, transmits and receives audio – all on 3G or wi-fi just amazes me. Sweet!
What’s missing: Key transmit binding (assign a button on your phone to transmit) and an icon in the notification pane (letting you know that you’re connected to a server). Very minor. The fact that it works is killer.
One catch – it’s not registered in the Android market, so if you want to install it, you’ll have to go to settings–>Applications and check “Unknown sources” to allow the install of non-Market applications. To download it, head over here or scan the following barcode:
Scan this to Download Mangler 1.0-alpha3. You'll have to install it manually
Edit: It’s available on the market now. Search Mangler
The Yankee Bullpen Can Suck It

Except for Mo, because he’s a legend. Fuck Joba.Way to come in and spoil Burnett’s shutout through 6 2/3. I mean the guy finally got over his problems and threw a gem and can’t even get the win because some over-hyped drunk driving Indian from Nebraska was good for two weeks then started pitching like a shithead. Joba has been shit lately. Then you get Robertson who’s good for a run or two. And most importantly, fuck Chan Ho Park. He has diarrhea and can’t get a man out. Comes in, walks the bases loaded, strikes a guy out like a tease, then gives up a double. Seriously – every day the Yankees bullpen just throws games away.
Oh and FUCK the entire offense who can’t score runs off of shit teams like the Mariners and Blue Jays.
Thanks for wasting my afternoon. I was going to go bike riding, but held of to watch these fucking assholes lose in 11 innings. I’m still going biking. But now I’m pissed.
