Unlikely to download the Windows 8 preview: nowhere to install it & not all that interested anyway.
Thinking that “annus bissextus” sounds vaguely naughty….
“I’m looking forward to never dealing with these people again.”
The build scheduler blows up in interesting ways when it thinks 2012 isn’t a leap year….
Daytona 500? Is that what TiVo recorded instead of House?
It figures - as soon as I tell someone that I like Pair Lite, the server hosting my site starts crashing.
Needed: a hand gesture by which riders can signal @cumtd operators, “Don’t stop, I’m waiting for the bus behind you.”
Sometimes I think the phrase “You’re making a good point” is code for “I’m ignoring you”.
Much discussion at the bus stop this morning of a dead squirrel, lying in the road not too far away.
I tell Jake that getting up every ten minutes to wander the house is no way to fall asleep. But he does not believe me.
Curating some vanilla pudding. Very tasty.
Trying to extract the last of the 2011 FSA money. I expect the plan administrators - aka chimps - will not let it go without a fight.
If I had heat vision like Superman, I’d use it to set off ceiling sprinklers everywhere I go.
The questions are tougher this year….
La guerre des livres….
With cell phones, there’s a strong correlation between ‘telco involvement in design’ and ‘suckage’.
I like the hand straps on the @cumtd hybrids. I swing from one to the next & pretend I’m Spider-Man.
Escorting civilians to the escape train. They don’t know it yet, but they’re doomed.
Struggling to get all my iMap clients to use the same Drafts / Junk / Sent / Trash folders. Mail.app, check. Thunderbird, check. iPhone…?
One more for the discard-all list: @bluehornetemail, whose ‘Position on Spam’ page struck me as just a wee bit hypocritical.
Also blocking spam from http://t.co/f1CTjB23, owned by @acxiom. So many companies out there that make money by annoying people. #grumble
Spam filter configured to discard all messages sent via @relevanttools.
Thinking I should not have to add spam filter rules to discard all the spam that has digitally-signed this-is-not-spam headers. But I do.
Transfer accomplished. Now if the 6W can only get to Springer & Country Fair before 5:30….
Attempting a somewhat tricky transfer to teach Norris Tire before they close. Bus-fu, don’t fail me now….
Unsurprised to see that University staff have no more respect for crosswalks & traffic signals than do University students.
The latest fad among the youth of Champaign: wearing enormous headphones, plugged into a tiny phone. Rather comical.
Watching Wallace & Gromit with Sam, who is providing a detailed descriptive-video service….
Today I will teach no pigs to sing.
Cleanup would be much simpler if we could persuade Sam to barf in the toilet, instead of the nearest garbage can (carpet, door, etc.).
Jake & Sam are watching a cartoon in which Sylvester the cat is chasing…a laser pointer? Sylvester never did that when I was a kid….
Purging spambots & abandoned accounts from my Twitter followers list.
“Referrer” sounds like where a shaved yak might go to get its hair back….
Wish I could send this to certain of the cow-orkers: http://t.co/hj81R6AD
AirPort Extreme disk sharing works much better when a powered USB hub is between the AE and the disk….
“The car’s on fire, and there’s no driver at wheel.”
Rather crowded on the @cumtd 9B this evening. Must be the rain.
I wanted to play Space Invaders on my iPhone, but there was nowhere to put the quarter.
Wondering how to persuade Markdown that I really do want the five characters & a m p ; to appear in my text….
Every time the OS X version of Microsoft Error Reporting crashes, I cackle a bit.
Nothing says “You are about to suffer the tortures of the damned” quite like “Starting InstallShield Wizard…”.
Was hoping for a snow day today. Alas, no.
Apparently “site license” and “volume license” are not the same thing. I stand corrected.
@r_akers There are zombies in tonight’s episode.
I never bought any Whitney Houston albums when she was alive; I don’t suppose I’ll start now.
Germs are proving quite vexatious here at Stately Rice Manor.
@r_akers Sad news….
Watching helicopters, piloted most irresponsibly…er, creatively. Sam is unimpressed & just wants to go home.
Jennifer: “Why is my @MapQuest map covered with ads?” Me: “Because you are not the customer, you are the product.”
Gave @LastPass my new online-banking password. It insists on pasting the old one into the login form. #grumble
The local bank seems bent on making their online banking service so secure that I won’t be able to use it.
Phone battery at 11%. Left the charger at home this morning. Oops.
Smells like one of the WRIfolk left his popcorn in the microwave too long.
In Javascript, ‘this’ is a predefined identifier that always points to the wrong object.
Removed @path from my iPhone. Now wondering how to remove my address book from their servers.
NFS: designed by chimps, used by masochists.
Meetings are not work.
Jennifer & I started a 550-piece jigsaw puzzle after dinner this evening - and finished it before bedtime. Maybe it was too easy….
@r_akers I listened for thirty seconds, then…*gong*. (Chuck Barris, where are you now?)
I did not yell “Free Bird!” during Jake’s concert. But I wanted to.
Next concert Jake is in, I’m going to show up the night before. It’s the only way to get a parking space in the same time zone.
The disappointing thing about professional sports is that in any given game, only one team will lose. Surely this can be rectified.
Downloading OS X 10.7.3, all 1.34GB of it.
Facebook tells me I have hidden three hundred and twenty-five apps, and one group.
@bradrubin And your files are now shiny clean!
Wandered about the Post Office for half an hour, snooping on the folks in blue. Struck me as a very last-century operation.
Looking forward to the Super Bowl. Go Cubs!
“If I include references to nonexistent files, builds fail with missing-file errors? Really?”
Yes, very foggy this morning. Oh, you meant the weather…? That, too.
Things I have never done to cows: clicked, tipped. I’m sure I could extend the list, if I tried.
Seriously annoyed just now with certain of the cow-orkers.
