Rant sent to L. this AM…oughta make his day. 😆 Now, for some industrial-strength bitching (heh): Our ISP is Charter Communications, a huge corporation that serves all of the midwest, and several areas over the whole country. We’ve had Charter since 2001, and that’s basically because it’s the only broadband option except for crappy 1.5 […]

I love Linux. If you don’t like what comes with your distro, you’ve got actual options. I don’t like KDE and Xfce doesn’t quite do it for me. I’m a Gnome gal, so I use Ubuntu rather than Kubuntu or Xubuntu. That said, I’m not all that happy with Nautilus. It’s better since they ditched […]
Why? Why do you even bother remaining a member? The only times you log in are to say you’ve got a new fish, you have a sick fish and ask for help after you’ve already administered at least two incorrect medications and the poor thing is half-dead, or to tell us that one of your […]
Muahahaha! Geek Girl rides again! I had a file that I wanted to be an MP3, but it was in that stupid (and entirely unnecessary, since there is no advantage to it) Monkey’s Audio APE format. Linux has no problem exporting a sane (and standard) format like FLAC to MP3, but does not support APE […]

Alles Oder Nicht If my poor, rusty German serves (not that it ever was really good), the title means “All Or Nothing”. Very bouncy and happy. Otherwise, all I can understand is a word here and there, but Herr Frank is “pop-y Eurodance”, and combined with a bright, sunny almost-spring day and warm temperatures (it’s […]
Oh fachrissake! If English is your first language and you are more than eight years old with an IQ above average room temperature, you have no excuse whatsoever for not learning its vocabulary. I refer to the idiotic email you forwarded, titled, “Dumb animals? I think not!” “Dumb” as in the phrase “dumb animals” has […]
Heh. The only thing better than someone who really, really knows his stuff is someone who’s so nerdy about it that a compliment or two will have him spilling information like Niagara Falls. You can spot them a mile away–they’re guys, and they always sign message board posts with their full names, usually including middle […]
