Crazy items in Minecraft.

Minecraft Ultimate Tool Set

Requires creative mode or operator power on a multiplayer server. On a single player game (survival or hardcore), you will need "cheats" enabled to move into creative mode. Don't forget to leave creative mode when done.

These items might be stupid. Be prepared to repair the country-side.

Comcast and Netflix now have a direct adjacency

Comcast and Netflix now have a direct adjacency

Looked at the host serving my Netflix streams today and noticed something new.

No clue if money is changing hands or not, and the return path is what actually matters, but it appears that Comcast and Netflix have reached some sort of agreement regarding direct interconnection.

58 bytes of css to look great nearly everywhere

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}
