Dispatch from the Midwest

Wow, the closer you get to the Midwest the more retarded you become :) From Shannon:

"Yesterday I spend the morning on my Treo: work, work, work… I stopped for a minute and went to use my stylus. Hmmm, can’t find it. looked through all my bags and coat pockets. No luck.

Oh well, on to the plane to Minneapolis. Fly to Minneapolis

Off the plane and across the terminal and to the bar… work some more. Where the hell did that stylus go?!?

Then grab a cup of hot chocolate and head to where I board the plane to Grand Forks.

Go to bathroom and happen to look in the mirror: Nice. I spent 10 hours with a stylus horn yesterday. Worst unicorn ever. Feel free to make fun of me."

Why can't you turn and face me?

Probably not a real great statement on my mental health, but man this song resonates with me.

BTW, the lyrics on this page are wrong. We'll catch you = look at you.

I'm making a 1:1 scale model of myself in snow..

One piece at a time. Here is the first stage:

W.... T.... F......

Wait.... Umm.... Ok..... Seriously, WTF?

One Question

Why can't we get this to happen to civilian "Hummers"?

YouTube - Spiders On Drugs

That is some funny shit right there.

VERY useful. Allowed me to edit the phones registry to fix a soft key assignment problem I had.

Ancient latrine fuels debate at Qumran

No way. "The excrement traces were found underground — meaning the feces had been buried, as required by Essene law — a nine-minute walk uphill from the settlement."

9 minutes uphill to "drop the kids off at the pool"?

Yeah, it sucks to be us :)

Will someone please stuff a ham in Rosie's mouth.

For the love of God, STFU!!!!

DUDE! Yeah, I will now be worthless at work for the next couple days. Thanks internet!

No shit, Sherlock

Thanks, midwest!

Let's clean up our own back yard.

WTF??!!!! This place is right off the coast of Florida, and we could BUY it for like 1500 bucks. Instead of making up a bullshit war that all of us will be paying for in the decades to come, how about everybody in America who can afford it chips in 2 bucks and we end poverty in Haiti?. Hell, I'll go 20.

Great, now I'm probably going to have CIA d00dz on my porch in the morning.

I'm back

Completely recovered from my hard drive crash. I had a back up, but it was a couple weeks old and I had some new photos on it, and it didn't included my music collection (most of which is mirrored at work), so I thought I would dig into the f'ed up drive and see what I could see. THANK YOU KNOPPIX! Knoppix has now saved my ass for the second time. Throw the Knoppix CD, boot, transfer your shit to a FAT32 (ntfs goes boom) drive (or in my case, 4 32GB FAT32 drives), then boogie on back to Windows and see what you have left. VERY easy, very nice.

So... I came up with a new backup strategy. This will work until I build my own backup server or finally realize that it make more sense just to buy one of those Buffalo goddamnits.

1) 80GB USB2 external drive - Holds music backup
2) 300GB USB2 external drive - Holds backup, and big files I'm considering moving to DVD (movies and shit)
3) 120GB USB2 external drive - Holds copy of the current backup and shit I can't figure out where else to put

Incremental backups occur weekly as a scheduled task (WHERE IS MY CRON?!?!?!!).

I'm fucking tired of spending a weekend fixing shit every time I lose a Seagate drive (yes, every major crash I have had has been a Seagate drive), so I am spreading files everywhere now.

Bwhahahahahaha!!!!1

Dumbass. Sigfried and Roy should adopt.

Feeling like you're special today?

Here you go. You can thank me later.

Merry whatever

Exactly

She MUST have been a Judy

I am certain this woman is related to me. The Judy's having been fighting a losing battle against our bowels for generations.

Updates will be slow until I recover from yet ANOTHER crashed Seagate drive... Seagate... Just don't.
