no, I don’t know where i get these links… they just seem to appear
SoulXchange. Sell your soul online! I think I should let this one speak for itself.
i have a love/hate relationship with perl
Perl being a programming language, of course. I love writing my own perl script from scratch. I hate maintaining this other perl code that’s become so twisted, there are more names for the same variables than a Russian Novel.
when the water filter reservoir is empty…
… fill a mug with ice from the ice machine (which is also filtered) and set it on top of a coaster on top of your monitor. Monitors generate a lot of heat, and the coaster is so that you don’t fry your monitor with the condensation.

Eat lunch Buy CD-Rs Nine days after I mentioned that I’ve got just over 9000 hits, I’ve now got over 9500. Wow. I can’t imagine why you’d want to read this. Maybe it’s because I occasionally post crazy links like this.
more things you realize when you manage a mailing list
Some people have really, really poorly configured mail transfer agents. Pray for them. This weekend was great. Saw Shrek (pretty good, non-motion captured characters really don’t move very naturally though) and Tomb Raider (I thought it was alright, if a little slow at times. Am I the only one?). Went out and watched drunk people […]
the work of a sysadmin is never done

I am going to bed early tonight or I’ll have to sleep all day. Reading: Thomas More’s Utopia. I think I actually understand renaissance […]
and how would you like those 1300 e-mails delivered, sir?
Witness the phoenix-like rebirts of NewtonTalk: NewtonTalk.net How come every time I watch George W Bush say something on TV, I hear the unmistakable sound of the palm of my hand striking my own forehead? I wonder… There were other witty things to write here, I know I had them. Hrm. Oh. I moved desks […]
Too many errors on one line (make fewer)
I never knew writing programs with Apple’s MPW C compiler could be so much fun. chuma is over 9000 hits on the front page. Fortune for the Newton should be released imminently… tonight I should take the time to fix and maybe find some testers for RotateBook. And find Sandy an eMate 🙂
reasons I’m glad I don’t live in the US of A
Dumb school officials Well, okay, I only have one right now, but it seems like I see a link to a story like this every week now. I’ve come to the general conclusion that (high) schools are designed to oppress, not teach. A number of things have pointed me towards, including: Hearing about Sandy’s brother […]
