I’m officially a Flickr Bug-Woman! It occurred to me tonight, after reading another “What the hell is this bug?” Flickr Mail, that I get them quite often, usually a “referral” from a contact (or a contact of a contact) who says, “Oh! I know who can ID this for you!” I suppose it’s the social […]

Well, the Gutsy-Hardy upgrade was a non-event, and I ended up not reinstalling all of the stuff I had because after I went through the list, there might have been half of it that I actually use, so I’ll just install that. I did manage to free up almost 20 gigs of space, though (to […]

It’s time once again to install the newest release of Ubuntu. Okay, it was time last Thursday, but I’ve been either too busy or too uninspired to back up the stuff in my /home, and I don’t want to even think about the mess on my storage drive (I should, but I can upgrade without […]

I don’t dust my computer nearly often enough. Yeah, “shoemaker’s children are the ones running barefoot”. Tonight, though, I noticed the GPU was running a little hot–just a couple of degrees–so I crawled under my desk and took a look. I may have bought the windowed case because it looked nerdy, but it comes in […]

I finally got around to beating the game. I did most of it….oh, probably a year ago, but I so rarely use XP that I never got around to finishing the last three levels. If I played, I’d just “Quick Play” one of the unlocked levels. Yesterday was so crappy outside, though, that I got […]

Forget where I saw it, don’t know who wrote it, don’t care. It’s just plain fucking funny. Didn’t you know? If we allow gays to get married, it will only embolden them, and then they will get all Mission Impossible on helpless, unsuspecting heteros. You know, a married couple will be in their bedroom, innocently […]

It’s said that Icelandic is perhaps the most difficult language to learn. That British uber-genius with the bad teeth (wait–that’s redundant) learned enough to do an interview on TV in a week, but…he’s a fucking genius. For the rest of us, Icelandic is a goddamned difficult language. Anyway, our right-wing political arseholes…Republican. Yawn, boooo-ring. Theirs […]

Is it sad that I can identify a spider as being an orb weaver from an 100×75 pixel thumbnail that is 90% background and 10% spider? Oh, yes…it’s sad. I know it’s an orb weaver because it has a chunky spider-butt and it’s in the characteristic pose of “Ball O’ Disturbed Orb Weaver”. If the […]

Granted, this is in no way scientific and comes from some website called “What They Play”, but still…. Jesus Christ…a little sexually repressed, are we? “Two men kissing” rates a point higher than a severed fucking head even though the two men would be no more real than the CGI head? So nobody really cared […]
