I hate you, you stupid fake-disabled POS, but even more, I HATE THE GODDAMNED WHITE TRASH THAT HANGS AROUND YOUR HOUSE. You, with your scraggly old arse parked on a chesterfield (!!) on the front porch, sleeping like some old drunken bum, I can stand. I can walk away and forget I ever saw you, […]

Well, that was sort of disappointing. I have grumbled, growled, complained about and harboured passionate hatred for Samba since the Mandrake days, and I fully expected to have to fight with it every step of the way when I decided to configure it this morning so that my desktop, laptop and P’s desktop can all […]

Cute little half-sized laptop–the Asus “3ePC”! Unveiled at Intel’s Computex keynote yesterday. Rumour has it that the earliest it’s likely to be available is December, but if it is available then, I’m going to have one. It’ll retail for $189 (so they say), and although it’ll run Win (so they say), it comes with a […]

I hate that fuckin’ asshole next door. The old bastard got a power chair (for which I have no doubt the taxpayers had to foot the bill) and now they’ve erected an enormous ramp on the front of the house. Well, whatever. Today, I discovered that I have a new baby robin, and he’s young […]

I have a shitload of stuff that I’m supposed to be doing (right now), but what am I actually doing? Trying to decide whether to go with the pink or the orange. I usually do that when I’m bored, or sometimes when I’m trying to put off something that I don’t want to do….like everything […]

I have been with P for almost eight years. He is amused by “Hair is an entity”, but he’s a typical guy in that he has never once asked me a hair question (hey–that wasn’t a hair question!) I guessed he probably knew I have hair, but beyond that, I couldn’t have guessed. Nearly eight […]

WTF did they do to Flickr? It was down for a few hours several days ago, and ever since, it’s worked like the server is a $3.99/month shared host from some second-rate provider. It’s fucking FLICKR, facrissake; Yahoo! knows they host images and their bandwidth requirements are high, so why is it that they’ve slowed […]

Headline: Studies: Music industry overstating threat of P2P piracy In other news, bear shit in woods. Who pirates music? – Those too young or too broke to have a credit card or some other way to pay for music online. Nobody with more than ten bucks to his name is going to bitch about a […]
