Seriously trivial thoughts
When G4 took over the TechTV network it was a terrible blow to the fans of shows like the Screensavers. Well, some ex-TechTV ppl have started Revision3.com with cool webcasts very much like the old TechTV shows. I've only watched the first 3 episodes of Kevin Rose's thebroken, but found the production quality pretty high. …
Looks like my move to AMD will be a one-time deal–I bought a Compaq V2000Z laptop with a pretty speed AMD CPU as my main machine. Anyway, my aging PIII-750 server has been disconnecting under loads so I tried swapping the NIC only to find that it conflicted with the SATA controller card. Too many …
Just wondering why people rely on email accounts like yahoo, hotmail, work or even cable co/dsl email accounts for personal email. What if those companies get acquired, change their name, you quit, etc. It would be like changing your phone number and not telling anyone Now in the old days, yahoo/hotmail was cool cuz it …
I accidentally pushed the wrong floor and started wondering why they don’t make elevator floor buttons on and off. I guess the manufacturers feel that you must stick with your decision after you make it…but I resent that attitude. Well, unless of course it’s a friggin emergency. Yeah, “if you are gonna bother the building …
Just got thru watching Firewall with Harrison Ford and started wondering why in movies, money is always transferred dollar by dollar. It’s like a countdown-slot machine. Whenever I’ve done a transfer, I enter the entire amount and..click…it’s gone. I suppose that most viewers suspend the absurdity of the time lag. I can see when you …
While I thought it was a good idea and (probably) still do, it’s ended up being a lot more work than I anticipated. Lots of settings and customization of things that I pretty much just figger out by trial and error. Now I gotta worry about backing up too. I get much for power over …
Just cuz I’m bored and wanted to see if I could even do it, I’ve started a Podcast. Initially, I tried it in the Blog area, but it wasn’t segregated enough so I put it in the Forums. Did have any great brainstorms for new material so for now I’m gonna post some old comedy …
Well, I made it 1/3 of the way through. I’m handling the discomfort much better now. Not that it feels any better; I’m just ignoring it…at least trying. I’m finding that moving around and now always having it elevated actually helps me forget. A couple times at work I forgot the cast was on until …
Well, I’ve been laying down pretty much for a week and I’m still not adapting to the leg cast very well. Last night I had a severe anxiety attack and was close to cutting the damn thing off myself. Today, I’m a little calmer, but still find it nearly unbearable. It is obviously psychological and …
Taking a shower is a *** if you have a cast on. So I googled around and stumbled onto the Xerosox. It claimed that you could swim in a cast with this on and not get the cast wet. C’mon! But, I figured if it was half this good, surely I could take a shower …
