Watch this guy make dinner tonight! Far Side Photoshops This one is for you steer. BLAM The Royals got the Hey! SHARK WEEK is back!Wednesday, July 30, 2003 G5
Lame Want to know how lame it is where I live? This was the reader's poll of the local newspaper.Tuesday, July 29, 2003 File sharing There has been lots of articles and comments about ways to protect yourself against the RIAA and your file sharing lifestyle. Like, not sharing your folder of downloads, etc. Pffftt!! Get MORPHEUS! It's got privacy features that make sense built into it. connect through proxy servers, and blacklist snooping IPs (probably the RIAA looking at you). No Mac version yet, so I haven't tried it, but someone should and let me know if it's any good. Stop! Stop! Banana theif! Idiots With the amount of stupid people I encounter on a daily basis, I've often wondered how many of them manage not to get themselves killed before 9am. We've legislated enough that we have a safety warning on just about everything. I'm sure the labels have kept at least more than one person from trying to save some time in the morning and deciding against blow drying their hair in the shower. RIAA Are you a target of the RIAA? Look here and search to see if you're already on the hit list.Sunday, July 27, 2003 Flies and Telescopes There is this fly in here. He's driving us crazy. Everytime we get Oldy times You ever wonder what you would have been doing had you been born in like the 1800's? Would you be out on the frontier? Working as a sailor on a ship headed to Europe? I'd probably have been an accountant. That makes the daydreaming about it pretty dull. Ducks and numbers Speaking of accountants, we're thinking of hiring this duck as our accountant.Saturday, July 26, 2003 Meow? I got your meow... The insane reality of it all is that I know what that cat said was pure idiocy, but it made so much damn sense. Later that same day... Often in fits of boredom are spurred creative ideas and thoughts, and sometimes it's stuff like this: :-P I asked the IS guys today if I could have a Mac at my desk instead, and they mumbled something like "job security" or something. Cyclops Has there ever been a time that you're at work and so bored, that poking yourself in the eye with your finger seems like a fun and interesting thing to do? Opera vs Dell Opera users again finding a major site giving them the finger. Trying to get support from Dell on their website and using Opera as your browser will get you nowhere.Thursday, July 24, 2003 Smack! Tell me you don't want to smack these people? Laptop We have a laptop we use for testing running windows XP. It was running Bank Don't write your bank robbery note on your old resume.Tuesday, July 22, 2003 Crazy Those crazy French, they'll do anything to coverup for the fact they tried to take out Lance in the Tour. Smack! I'm going to start carrying a 12 inch metal ruler with me around work. Whenever I hear someone say something stupid, they'll get a rap on the knuckles. Things that were explicitly covered in the meeting yesterday that I know you were in, should mean I won't hear you telling someone incorrect information. Unless you're just an idiot, which will warrant 2 raps on the knuckles. News Flash Eiffel Tower is on fire. News just breaking. Go here to see the webcam for the tower. iPhoto Can read up on iPhoto here. Do it!Monday, July 21, 2003 @@@@@@@@@@@@ I've been accumulating a large amount of various manuals on my desk lately. I don't know to what half of them even belong. For some reason now, I know more acronyms than I'll ever need. Same. Again? Email sent to entire department with pertinent information. 10 minutes later that same email is forwarded to the entire department by manager with heading FYI. Nobody says a thing about it.Saturday, July 19, 2003 Computers Here is what you can do with your old Compaq computers.Friday, July 18, 2003 Game Heading to the Royals game tonight. They beat up on Seattle last night, and I'm hoping for a repeat this evening. Go Royals Thursday, July 17, 2003 Bambi Well Martha, after I get my teeth, comb my mullet, chain my dog and close up my trailer, I'm off to Vegas to hunt. If you need gear you can get it here. Watch it buddy!
What? Very few times a day do I not hear someone use the term, "I'll tell you what." Neo says, "Believe in Morpheus not me!" The RIAA continues to show how much it fails to understand technology and it's ability to adapt and quickly find ways overcome roadblocks. The RIAA wants to find out who all you file sharing people are, sue your socks off, and claim victory through legislation over technology. So technology keeps changing and the RIAA is staying one step behind. Morpheus has released new software with functionality to help mask your file sharing activities. Go get it. Help! Help! "You've got to help me, I can't get this crazy squirrel off my shoulder," the unidentified caller told a police dispatcher.Wednesday, July 16, 2003 Sad Grandpa? I don't know where he went. I think he went down to the farmer's market. I wish For the life of me I can't find the words to describe why I feel this way, but I want to live close enough to Kaufman Stadium to go to lots of Royals games. I wish I was at one right now. Oh, to become a bleacher bum, and spend my evenings taking in a game. Yes, baseball. Always been a bigger basketball fanatic than I have been baseball, but something about it lures me recently. Cliffhanger Is this the end of Netscape? Will Mozilla continue on unfettered? Tune in next week. Same bat-time, same bat-channel.Tuesday, July 15, 2003 Sad Isn't it sad that Victor Borge is dead and Kasey Kasem is still alive. If you would like to check on others see here. Royals Been a while since I posted about the KC Royals, but they're back in first place and have a sizable lead of 7 games over the Chicago White Sox. The All Star break is here, and that means their in good shape after half the season has gone by. It's amazing that a team that was one of the worst in baseball last year is in first place this year. We can only hope this continues through to the post season. Thumb happenings If you have visited here frequently you'll know of the Arcata, CA police logs. The guy writes reports them with a certain flair. Well, I went to read a few as I hadn't been there in quite a while. Then I found something interesting. The town has a statue in their Plaza area of President McKinley. It was vandalized sometime in May. Someone stole his thumb. Yes, the thumb. As you can read here, it caused quite a stir.Monday, July 14, 2003 Dumb Just heard on KFOR. If you are going to steal clothing by taking off the security tags, do not, and I repeat, do not, put the security tags in your pocket and then try and walk out of the store. Doh! Math time Friday, July 11, 2003 Answer me! Oh wait, there was one thing. I was on a conference call this morning for the final run down before going live next Monday for a market of ours for a new service. The call was to find out if there was any issues that would keep us from being able to go live on Monday. Nobody said anything. So it was determined to go live on Monday. Then I get a call 35 min later wanting to know why the service was having a problem. Uh....you should have maybe mentioned this in the conference call. Luckily we got it fixed pretty quick, but it would have been nice to know a little earlier. Like, uh...when we asked. Darn I wish I had a nice 'I work with idiots' story to relate to you. I think I'm becoming desensitized to it now. It continues to happen, but I just don't have cognitive notice of it anymore. That makes it a lot less interesting around here :-P Ack... Another round of coughing and burning eyes for everyone!Thursday, July 10, 2003 Eat your heart out TSG
Woe is me :-) The feeling that the whole thing could collapse at any moment, spiralling it into a horrible abyss of failure. But, maybe I'm taking cooking porkchops a little too serious. It's witchcraft... The Harry Potter books have created quite a stir. Besides selling millions of these books (I assume millions have been sold, research just ain't my thing man), people are worried it promotes witchcraft to kids. I think it's more dangerous to promote it to the dumbasses in the world. Cold? At least the roads in Iraq will be salted in case of snow and ice.Wednesday, July 09, 2003 Weird The absolute weirdest belief when it comes to war I've ever heard. Wearing womens clothing will help protect you. Thinning The Herd In Palmdale Ca. a motorist was killed in a head-on collision just moments after exchanging obscene gestures with a motorist he was trying to pass. -Gazette-Tuesday, July 08, 2003 Imperial troops have entered the base... Live in New England? A Stormtrooper? Here's the group you are looking for but didn't know you were looking for it. The New England Garrison: 501st Legion of Stormtroopers. These guys have an impressive amount of Imperial costumes. From Stormtroopers to those weird red Imperial Guards that were in Return of the Jedi for like 30 seconds. Of course, they have like 3 or 4 Boba Fets. What if one sprains an ankle or something, there's another right there to take his place. Costumes are dead on though. Much detail involved. Expert Ok, so when did I become the "expert" in the all knowing, all seeing dept?At work all the guys now ask me to find out if something they were e-mailed is true or not. I made the mistake of correcting some people when they puported something they had received as true. I also told them where to look, since they also have access to the same sites I do. But, no, they now ask me. Oh, well the price of fame. Or are they making fun? !!!!!!! Dear sender of the mass email to the entire department you just sent. Your use of large 26pt blue font is amazing. Was it intended to be in bold? I hope it was as it was a good choice. The parts that you also included with bright blinking blue background made it especially easy to read. I also enjoyed your use of a piece of Microsoft included clip art you added. This gave it the extra touch of professionalism needed for me to give your email it's needed weight. I hope to receive many more emails from you in the future.Monday, July 07, 2003 Cool Are the times a'changing? Apple has gained the rights to sell "The League of Extraodinary Gentlemen" soundtrack. There are no physical CDs being made. It's only offered for download from Apple's iTunes store. Of course, much cheaper than you could have bought it pre-burned on CD for you, $9.99. Money to Burn From Dave Barry's blog.We are spending the weekend at a beach hotel on the west coast of Florida, where last night we witnessed an interesting incident. We went out to dinner, during which it rained really, really hard for about an hour. When we got back to the hotel, we saw, parked out front, a Bentley convertible sitting in the rain with the top down. We pointed this out to a bellman, who said the hotel staff had told the car owner -- who was (surprise!) in the bar -- several times that his car was turning into a Jacuzzi, and the owner had stated that he had three other Bentleys at home and did not care.
