Free Sex Revolution Round 2 October 27, 2004 5:22 pm

Welcome back 1970s style sexual freedom!

A chemical specially designed to thwart how the AIDS virus invades during sex offers scientists a new lead in the long quest for a vaginal gel that women could apply to protect themselves when men don’t use a condom.
Wait a minute? A gel? This business gets messier by the minute! And this gel doesn’t protect against the array of other STDs out there. Oh! And the big one. It doesn’t prevent pregnancy. (I guess the other big thing is its only been tested on monkeys but you know.. give a guy enough beer and…)

Ok. So maybe this isn’t a sexual revolution but it should noted that this is a landmark development in the field of AIDs research!

The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday approved rules for transmitting broadband communications signals over electric power lines… Wahoo! If I recall right the science behind this promises 10gigabit transmissions! And your house is already wired with it in every room, the garage, the basement and the storage shed!

Speeding Clapton Loses Driver’s License

Eric Clapton won’t be driving in France for a while. Police said they clocked the rock star speeding down a highway at 134 mph and suspended his license.



Police confiscated Clapton’s British driver’s license, suspending his right to drive in France.

Clapton, 59, took the bad news well, agreeing to a photo session with police.

After paying a $922 fine, he then rolled away in his Porsche this time in the passenger seat with his secretary behind the wheel…

Well, if Clapton can take it in stride I suppose I can humble my way through this citation over the stop sign…

Wahoo! Yesterday: 0 caffiene intake!

Today: No caffiene so far. Cutting out sound too. Wearing ear plugs that reduce noise by 20db. I wish I had some airport style ear muffs to go over them. It’s interesting when you cut out the white noise because your ears ring hard for awhile. I think the ringing is always there we just don’t notice it because of the amount of noise we process.

Don’t Drink Tea and Drive October 27, 2004 8:54 am

Kava Tea will get you a DUI. Apparently kava tea acts as an antianxiety drug. I think I’ll be getting some!

“We’re cracking down on DUI drivers,” Feasel said. “Whether it’s driving under the influence of kava, or a good merlot or Advil, you’re going to be prosecuted.”
Ok. Don’t take Advil and drive in California! Point taken.

Sometimes my coding feels like I’m walking through a swamp. I just can’t type as fast I as I think and design. None-the-less, I’ve made progress on my European client today.

Time to switch gears to some brief marketing followed by work for my local client.

Seeking the NT Password October 26, 2004 9:26 am

I seem to be getting a lot of traffic from people looking for information about Austrumi.

If you are having trouble finding “nt_pass” in the GUI quit looking because its not there. As you boot, before you get to the GUI (xwindows I think), press the space bar then type “nt_pass” (without the quotes) and press enter. You may or may not see the boot prompt as you do this. After you do that you will get a menu instead of the GUI.

Here are some discussion forums for Austrumi.

Another invaluable resource is the Ultimate Boot CD ( windows version here ).

This Morning

I went to bed to hide last night and hid well until this morning. The hiding spot was warm and comfortable and I did not want to leave its security. If I had the luxury to do so, I’d have a total meltdown today.
