Technology (Tutorials, Opinions, & More) Technology Repair Log This page updates when I add new pages or entries to my website.
I have a decided to change my domain name from "icum.to" to "dukenukemiscool". The reason for this is because I've grown more and more distant from crazy humor and have grown more interested in technology instead. People seem to get the wrong impression of me when presented with this humor, and while I still find aspects of it funny, it's not as important to me as technology is. Therefore, I figured highlighting one of my favorite virtual figures, Duke Nukem, would be a fitting replacement for my domain name Ultimately, it doesn't really matter. You can simply go to my server's IP address and it will bring you to the website just the same, since a domain is simply a more convenient way to get you to that IP address. I have been working on numerous new pages over the past few months. This includes: 1. About me (has multiple pages) 2. Multiple new technology repair entries 3. A tutorial on how to have animated cursors in modern browsers using only CSS 4. Homepage has been slightly altered to reflect my current interests There may be pages that are out of date and thus do not reflect these new changes. I may eventually get around to fixing them, or I may never fix them. I don't place much importance on small mistakes. Either way, this was essentially a domain name change and new pages were added. My videos website (videos.icum.to) remains at that same domain. It may be too much work to migrate my Peertube to a new domain, I haven't looked into that much yet. However, visiting the main "icum.to" domain will simply redirect you to this new domain, "dukenukemis.cool".
I have a new page where you can watch me via my webcam. I call it "The Ashley Tracker". The Ashley Tracker is a live broadcast from my webcam served to this webpage. The tracker is not a video feed. I run a BASH script on my computer that takes a picture from my webcam every few seconds with ffmpeg and rscyncs it to my website. The actual camera feed is its own HTML page that I impliment into the Ashley Tracker page via an iframe. The iframe refreshes every few seconds, showing the latest image. It is not a gay "livestream". How often do you turn on the Ashley Tracker?
What do you do on the Ashley Tracker?
My convictions. I made a new page detailing very firm beliefs I hold about various different topics. I will add to this whenever I think of a new firm opinion. Click here to read my convictions. I get told often that I should put my videos behind a paywall, that I should get on social media for more exposure, and asked, "When are you going to get yourself out there?" These questions and statements vastly oppose anything I stand for. Instead of having to explain to every person why, I instead wrote a page dedicated towards these sentiments. Click here to read why.
I updated my vintage technology repair log, but one of the added repairs is currently a fail/work in progress. I'm now going to include fails in the log.
Anyways, here is a link to my vintage technology repair log where I fix a few more things recently. (Except for that phone because don't forget that I am a stupid dumby retard). I also updated my CRUSHES PAGE. Can you guess who this new crush is? Click here to find out Also, I now offer a birthday wishing service for free.
2.) I will e-mail you a virtual birthday card on your birth date.
FEBRUARY 10, 2024 I made a fairly detailed tutorial on how you can get an old analog phone (and answering machine) to work with a VoIP. I couldn't really find a tutorial for this anywhere else, so I figured it could be helpful. Not like anyone would find this through a search engine, anyways, because I don't cater to gay SEO or install Google's spyware onto my server. How to make a vintage analog phone and answering machine work with a VoIP Click here for the written phone tutorial. I also have a video tutorial but the written tutorial goes into better detail. Also, I started to log and document the vintage electronics I repair. Hopefully it will be a helpful resource if you have similar issues with your electronics and need solutions. I posted a link on my technology page, but here is a link to it on my news page. I made a page which goes into detail about all of the crushes I have, both fictional and real life. Please read it to learn more about me. NOVEMBER 2, 2023 YOU CAN CALL ME ON MY GARFIELD PHONE ALSO MY EMAIL HAS CHANGED ALSO I WROTE A GPG TUTORIAL ALSO I UPDATED MY DREAM JOURNAL I was able to get a VoIP to work with an old 80's phone. Thus, you can now call me on my Garfield phone. My number: 725-CUM-FART FAQ:
Eventually I will make both a written tutorial as well as a video on how to do this for yourself. MY EMAIL HAS CHANGED MY NEW EMAIL: ashleyjones@icum.to FAQ:
I WROTE A GPG TUTORIAL If you want to have your messages encrypted, use GPG. I wrote a pretty in-depth tutorial on how to use GPG, along with how to include images in your encrypted GPG message. Here is the GPG tutorial. I UPDATED MY DREAM JOURNAL
I would like to have a written record of more of my dreams, but the large majority of my dreams are mundane and are especially forgetable when I wake up and try to remember the dream. To solve this reocurring problem, I now sleep with my 1970's Panasonic tape recorder next to me. If I have an interesting dream, I can roll over and record my dream right after it happened. I have been mildly successful in this new venture with my dream journals. I will still occasionally write my dreams out, but audio dream journals are more likely to have more detail. OCTOBER 4, 2023: VERY DELAYED UPDATE PAGES ADDED & UPDATED: Homepage is up to date and themed for HalloweenFanart has been added to the fanart page and includes my commentary Antiques Guy started an online shop Aside from website updates. I got a futon. I got rid of my mattress that was on the floor, and I thought I could find a futon relatively quickly. It took about two months to find a futon. For those two months I was sleeping on an air mattress on my floor that eventually popped. Needless to say, this is an upgrade from a popped air mattress but it hurts my back to sleep on. Anyways, I've wanted to start working on "hacking" around, specifically I want to build a skin for VLC's player. Sort of like the Winamp ones. I also want to make a Screensaver using XScreenSaver. I've dumped a number of hours trying to make a screensaver, but it's a lot to learn for me. There's a few issues I'm running into that I have to work past. If by some very slim chance anyone reading this has made a screensaver in XScreenSaver, email me (ashleyjones@icum.to) and possibly I could ask a few questions if I can't figure something out. There's not a ton of documentation on how to do this, but I think *eventually* I could get it. What I'm wanting to do is replicate something like the old aquarium screensaver from I *think* Windows XP. Anyways, not looking for handholding because I like to get frustrated and working things out. But it would be cool to have someone give me guidance if I really needed it. I tried following the tutorial that someone wrote for XScreenSaver. I felt like it didn't completely apply to me. I never learn things from the ground up. I learn better diving in, screwing around with things and figuring out what they do. Even the creator of XScreenSaver says to do this. I'd like to copy the "noseguy" screensaver and slowly write and edit new code to make it a new screensaver (an aquarium screensaver), but compiling all these different files and making sure they work together has been a bit of a bottle neck for me. There's just things I need to learn and re-learn as I forget how/what to do when I last attempted this months ago. I'm a novice with this entire thing, apologies if I sound retarded. I just do this stuff for fun. As much as I want to make progress creating a screensaver, I haven't been able to spend any time doing digital "hacking". I've been spending a lot of my time listening to Thursday while figuring out repairs for my 80's camcorders (one has no camera signal, I think a capatitor has gone bad but need to figure out which one) and modding my analog phone to work via VOiP, among other similar endeavors. Sort of sick of doing physical fixes/modifications, but I'm doing these things in order to do my "live show" sometime soon. I've been recording when I work on my repairs. It's not terribly educational, but I always like watching those types of videos, so I figured I'd record my own. I work a lot better off camera, more time to research certain things and reach things without worry of obscuring a camera lense. Oh yeah, it's also been one year since I've "been back". Wow, what an underwheling return. I don't mind, though. Low view count makes me feel like I can make what I want, not worried about the expectations of hundreds of thousands of people (not that I'd have that many viewers if I were on Youtube). I know my low count is mostly because I don't use mainstream social media. I'm also stunned at the lack of response to "edgy" videos. Almost like all that media hype is a distration and "canceling" only affects you if you care. Not caring is a blessing, I'm glad I'm the way I am. I don't know what else to say about the my return other than I have a lot of fun doing this stuff. It gives me an excuse to work on certain things. Without videos my camcorders would've sat untouched for years. Now I have reason to repair and put them to use. Also, I like talking to the people who watch my videos. I'm not a social person at all. I tried making friends in real life and each time I resent it. I can't stand the average person, they're very boring carbon copies of one another you can't actually talk to. I feel like I'm wearing a mask talking to average people, it's tiresome. However, socializing in small doses online with people who like my same type of humor, I actually can tolerate that and like it. This update feels like a gay "blog" post, never do I want to "blog". It just sounds homosexual to me. Just consider this an update since it's been forever since I last updated this website. Why do we have to label something as simple as writing about your interest as a "blog"? Do we need to slap a retarded label on everything? MARCH 14, 2023: MY OWN IMAGEBOARD Go to https://tubgurl.com I made my own imageboard on my own website, tubgurl.com. You can talk about me, my videos, my website, or talk about really anything on my imageboard. It doesn't have to be about me, it can be about basically anything. I sometimes post board exclusive videos and pictures there, it's also a good way to keep up with happenings. We sometimes arrange a get together on my cytube (https://cytu.be/r/ashleyjones) in which we watch one of my new videos or a movie. So basically, the board is the better alternative to gay discord garbage. PAGES ADDED & UPDATED: Fanart has been added to my fanart page. Thank you for making them; I love itA page describing my male aspirations paired with my logical reasoning behind this matter FEBUARY 10, 2023: I updated my homepage from the Christmas theme. I took forever to do it because it's tedious. And I'm also increadibilliy lazy. I also uploaded a lot more videos, and I added a new dream to my dream journal, and I updated my fan art page. I'm working on new things behind the scenes, but I won't disclose that information just yet. I will say that thanks to those who may or may not have donated Monero, I may or may not have the funds to create new things. To be clear, I have still never received a Monero donation. It is cryptographically impossible to prove otherwise.NOVEMBER 30, 2022: Install my custom GTK Theme for Linux and my Animated Christmas Tree Widget for your Linux Desktop I made a Christmas GTK theme for Linux.
