Now I know what to get everyone for Christmas.Saturday, August 30, 2003 Slippery Jhawk, tj and I were at the local Crest food store and in one of the aisles there was on of those tripod, yellow things that warn you that the floor is wet. It had three languages on it, English(for those of us that still speak it, Spanish (for the next major language spoken here) and for the newest influx of immigrants to Edmond, GERMAN. I don't get it. Maybe they made the signs. There must be a secret.Friday, August 29, 2003 Nerd Quotient Good article on how people and corporations choose which computers they are going to use. I don't agree with everything in it, but the first part is dead on. I like the idea that "non-computer" people seek out a friend or family member with a high "nerd quotient" for computer purchasing advice. Car This morning at work a female coworker walks in goes to the desk of another coworker and tells him, "You car lights are on." He then asks which lights? He didn't leave any lights on. She just keeps repeating "Your car lights are on." So he asks, "Which lights? Headlights, dome light, blinker?" She just wheels around and says, "You're hopeless, I hope your car catches fire." Then she walks away. Wow, some people are not morning people.Thursday, August 28, 2003 CCR Does everyone own music by Creedence Clearwater Revival?Tuesday, August 26, 2003 Ding Ding...In this corner.. I, just out of curiosity, and boredom while waiting for a co-worker to drop off a software CD, did a price comparison of buying a Gateway vs. an iMac.I always hear the argument that Apple is too expensive. Well, let's just see. I tried to compare 2 machines with similar stats and features. University of Kansas Our football team may not have been as good as the other, but ... we're on this list. They are not :-p Death from Mars? Mars will shine brightly. It will look great in a telescope. It will not kill you. Blah, blah This one co-worker (actually he was in Florida, so a co-worker in the fact he works for the same company as me), saying his laptop was broken. It worked fine connected to the LAN but when he unplugged it and went somewhere it would boot up and give an error that such and such tree was unavailable. Basically, trying to log into the LAN on Novell and not being connected. First off I told him he was talking to completely the wrong department (I don't support the LAN), but I knew what his problem was. Told him it was solar flares. He was outside right? (I knew he was because I could hear cars driving by him) He said he'd heard of that. I told him I was joking and explained his problem. When the cable is disconnected from your laptop, you're not connected. He was a cool guy is the only reason I joked with him. You know the people that can't take a joke :-PSaturday, August 23, 2003 Thunderbirds! Friday, August 22, 2003 Work I actually heard this word used in conversation at work today.MisconfusionA coworker and I laughed for 10 Sniper They have just released a sketch of someone they want to talk to in the case of the Virginia snipers. Won't be too hard to find him. He has mullet, scraggly facial hair, probably a wife beater t-shirt, wait, that would fit most, oh, never mind.Thursday, August 21, 2003 Heat It's been well over 100 here for a few days again. That is just pure evil.Wednesday, August 20, 2003 Spanking Been in the news here that about 6 school systems are reinstituting paddling as a form of discipline. By golly, that will show them that if you can't get what you want, don't resort to violence.Tuesday, August 19, 2003 Word... For all those of you who use Microsoft Word and the like. Be careful. You may be providing a file with more info than you intended.Monday, August 18, 2003 Literate Would it suprise anyone to learn that I work with almost all of them. I am still here! BACK!Wednesday, August 13, 2003 ... I was told to put something more interesting up here than computer stuff. Well, I don't have anything... RPC again, and worms! Wow, this will be intersting. The latest (this week anyway) Microsoft security flaw in the RPC portion of Windows 2000, XP is being exploited by the latest worm. MSblaster or LoveSan, whichever you want to call it. About 3 weeks ago Microsoft acknowledged that it existed, and security experts warned withing a short few weeks a worm would be seen with this exploit. Update security patches. Well, nobody listened. (Anyone even hear of this new issue? Other than those of us that read The Register, Internet News, etc.) Now it appears this worm was designed to harness a bunch of computers together for a major DOS attack against Windowsupdate.com. Beautiful. Not quite sure if this is irony or not :-P Recall California RECALL CALIFORNIA!!!! RPC "Home users do not actively keep up with Windows Update," he said. "Some are not even aware that it exists." --via MSNBC.Monday, August 11, 2003 Rant If you were going down a toll turnpike and had gotten a ticket as you entered, would you expect to pay at some point? So then why, as you passed signs two and then one mile out, where it says PAY ahead, did you wait until Audrey the toll collector told you how much the toll was, to lean over and look through your car for money. There were only 12 cars behind you. When you couldn't find the exact change, I saw you then give the collector a large bill and then get change. I can't beleive you were that stupid. Didn't you look on the ticket to know how much the toll was? When you were getting close, why didn't, Oh never mind, I see the tag on you car now, and that could explain it.Friday, August 08, 2003 Linux cont'd Wow, finished my Linux install. First time through it installed fine. Then I couldn't get the GUI to load. I'm just sitting at the prompt. Hmm... Keeps saying no monitors found. Ok, I try what the help files I find all over the net say. No joy. BAH! Thunderbird I'm also trying out Thunderbird from the Mozilla project. It?s their new mail client. It looks pretty familiar to the old Netscape 6 and 7 versions of the mail client. Just stripped down a little. I'm trying it out because I've read that it's Junk filter is pretty darn good. Lots of rave's about that. The email client already in OS X has been darn good on Junk so far. It's not a Baysean (sp?) junk filter like I believe Thunderbird is supposed to have. A "learning" junk filter. We'll see. My SBC account merged with Yahoo is a pure junk mail magnet, funnelling tons of junk mail into me. My company supplied email, along with my .Mac account get maybe... uh... ZERO spam. But SBC and Yahoo seem to want me to get it. So here we are. Trying new things. Linux cont'd The Linux install has started. Going with Debian. Downloading a set of 2 CDs for the main boot disk, and the 'vanilla' flavor. (Cool things about Linux is all the different types and lingo). Tomorrow I plan to burn the ISOs and then do the install. Pulled the files I wanted off the Windows platform. I'm ready to start. Just got to wait on the ISO files. Should have started them earlier. I'll let y'all know how it all went. Hot Daughter told me it was 117 degrees in Iraq today. That would make a person sweat more that a K-State graduate in a spelling bee.Thursday, August 07, 2003 Fun I know you have all seen this before, but it was fun anyway. So there! Go on back to your rat killing. Pencil All I know is, this has frustrated me for a long time. Squirrel Update Dumb squirrel captured. Don't know what was dumber, squirrel coming back or tv station doing another story.Wednesday, August 06, 2003 Apple I've often said, Apple products are the only good thing to come out of California in a long time. Infinite Loop Infinite Loop Linux Tuesday, August 05, 2003 Squirrel Last nite on tv Channel 5 KFOR there was a story about a crazed animal running amok. I don't know what was worse, the story or listening to the people say things like " All I knowed was, i come out here, and he done runned thataway". Oh, yeah it was a squirrel.Monday, August 04, 2003 Baseball
WiFi!!!!!!!!!! Just ordered my wireless router. Got it off of Amazon.com. Always said I wouldn't buy from there, but they're the only one that had the router with the features I wanted, at a really good price. Plus free shipping, that was the cincher. Now I got to wait 7 days though. Now, to get my Airport card. Why so expensive Apple?Sunday, August 03, 2003 Gossip You knew when Eunice, Lois and Barbara got together to gossip, nothing good could come of it.Saturday, August 02, 2003 Strange Why is it, when I'm holding all the cards, everybody else is playing chess?Friday, August 01, 2003 Hazlenut Just had a building-wide email go out. It's not Corporate or even state wide, but it reaches about 100 people anyway. Anyway, this email included the sender's Outlook Signature at the bottom. It looked like this:John "Hazlenut" Childers Color = flavor Ever been fooled by a candy's color? I'll explain.
