Sorry that there's been no new posts as of late. There wasn't any real good reason other than I've been really busy with a bunch of different things, and got out of the habit of posting every day.
Well, things are back to normal now. There will be the usual three to five posts a day from now on. At least until December when I head out to Vegas again. I promise to have some posts during that time, and some Vegas updates.
Also, I'll be upgrading the site pretty soon, so there might be some new features popping up. Unless the upgrade goes really bad. Wish me luck.
Alright, now back to your usual entertainment.
PS – The picture of the cheerleader was added for no special reason.

Vicepost is a little messed up at the moment.
If you hit it the other day, you might have found just a blank page. That was found to be an issue with the cache program I was using, but I've found it's worse than just that.
The page is at least up, but for some reason it's adding a bunch of junk to the permalink titles, so if you click on a post, you get a 400 error. That's not good, as it's messing with a lot of things around the site.
I've made a couple of posts for today to see if they pop up ok, and I'll be working on the other error to see if I can't get it fixed. I might jsut do a whole upgrade this weekend to a lter version of Wordpress, but that might just kill everything, which would be bad.
Hopefully I'll have this all cleared up soon.
UPDATE: I seem to have the 400 error for the posts fixed, so I'll just have to keep an eye on things.

I'm currently in Phoenix at the moment, and will be here for the weekend. Then I'm off to Las Vegas for three days.
On the upside, I'll be on Las Vegas. The downside is that posts might be a little light, depending on time.
I do promise to try and post some things from Vegas, either through the site, or on the Twitter account HERE. I plan on hitting at least four daily poker tournaments while I'm there, and I hope to at least get into the money in one of them.
I also have the hope that I can get into one of the WSOP satellites for this year's first No-Limit Hold'em tournament. It's a small one, with the entry fee being $1000, so there's a good chance that any satellites they have might be around $50, and I can give it a few shots.
I'll try to keep the normal post schedule, but as you could see from today (with traveling and all) that I didn't get anything up until now. I promise to do my best though, and hopefully I'll keep the Twitter account hopping with updates while in Vegas, and have it also post all of that here.
Wish me luck.

Can't say that I have use for this what so ever, but it is seriously cool. Details:
Precision-built performance, ground breaking engineering, and a revolutionary concept… Introducing the new TAC 15™ Crossbow by PSE. Forget everything you thought you knew about crossbows, the TAC 15™ sets new standards for accuracy, performance and shootability.
A marvel of innovation and engineering, only PSE could bring you the new TAC 15™. Designed to fit on any AR-15 lower receiver, the TAC 15™ is packed with innovative features that will have to be experienced to be believed. It all starts by incorporating the incredibly strong X Tech™ limbs into an extremely compact platform. The ultra-high performance twin-cam design shoots an amazing 412 fps and is capable of unprecedented accuracy. Plus, the TAC 15™ converts any AR-15 quickly and easily from a gun to a crossbow!
You can check it out HERE.

Just thought I would wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day.
I recommend that you have a green beer or two, and then start on the Irish whiskey.
Hope you all have a good time.

I'll admit that I slack from time to time and don't get as many posts up as I like. The other problem is that I tend to make it a point to only post certain things, and it does take some time to track all that down. What I've decided to do is open up my criteria a little bit, and start posting a lot more. While it might not all be high quality, I hope to at least make it interesting enough that you can stop by once or twice a day, and find a few things to read. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the changes.

I had my OS on a very old drive, and it was causing some issues. I did an upgrade tonight to a new drive, and while I did get everything to work (finally) it did take a lot longer than I intended it too.
There was also some major slacking in there somewhere by me, as I ended up playing way too much Call Of Duty: World At War.
Anyway, I didn't get to write any posts for this wonderful Monday, other than this one, but look for a few things to pop up in the afternoon. I'll be back on schedule Tuesday.
Also just a reminder, if you see anything cool that you think might be Vicepost worthy, you can send the info to posts.vicepost@gmail.com.

The Holidays are that wonderful time of year when everything goes nuts.
I'd love to be able to get some posts up over the next few days, but I just don't think it's going to happen. There's just way too much craziness going on. I won't bore you with the details, but I have more things to do right now than I have time to do them.
I promise to be back sometime shortly after Christmas with new posts. Until then, posting has been suspended until things are a little more under control around here.
I'd also like to wish everyone a happy holiday season, whatever that holiday might be for you. I also hope you get some great loot, and if you do, drop me a note about it in the comment section for this post.
Until I'm back (it'll be just a few days, I promise), just keep checking back here for all the new material.

If you hit the site anytime yesterday afternoon, you probably got a page stating that my web hosting company suspended Vicepost. I, however, didn't see the email until I logged in tonight to write some posts.
I then call said Web Hosting company.
Call #1 – They tell me something is happening with my site, and it's jacking up the CPU usage on the server I'm on. Something with SQl and my databases. I look through everything, can't find a damn thing that would be causing it in an hour of looking. I call back.
Call #2 – They tell me it's my site. Can't turn it back on. Something in there is wrong, and it's causing problems. I explain that I can't find anything, nothing in the last month (other than new posts) has changed about my site. Nope, the guy says it's my site, and then actually starts to go into a sales pitch about "Maybe you've outgrown shared hosting, we have several…" and that's as far as he gets before I hang up. I once worked at a help desk, and normally I try to be as nice as possible to the tech on the phone. Though when you've nuked my site and I'm scrambling to try and figure out why, a sales pitch to get more money from me makes all the nice go away.
I spend another half an hour looking through stuff, even deleting two test sites that I have, just in case. Nothing makes sense. It should be fine. I call back.
Call #3 – I explain everything I went through. I explain that my sites not that big. It didn't get crushed with traffic (though that would have at least been a nice problem). I ran though the database info. All of that.
I get put on hold. For a good little bit. The tech then comes back and explains that they ran a bunch of tests and scripts for my site and found…it wasn't Vicepost causing the problem. It was most likely some other site.
Oops, their mistake. They take my site down for a good 13+ hours, have me chasing ghosts for a total of about two hours, and it had nothing to do with my site at all.
I am VERY unhappy right now.
In light of all the great fun I've had this evening, there probably won't be any new posts until probably tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I wanted to wish everyone a happy one.
I also wanted to let everyone know that I won't be posting this Thursday or Friday because of the holiday, and since I normally don't post over the weekend, there won't be anything new until Monday December 1st.
Talk to you all then.
