Seeking extra hardware

Does anyone in Knoxville have a spare DSL modem (preferrably westel) lying around? I know someone that needs to run a test to confirm that their modem is bad. If their modem is bad and you want to sell yours they will probably be willing to buy it. Just let me know in comment or email. Thanks.

Task Completion

A computer hath been repaired! The symptoms on this one: It would boot to the user login prompt for Windows XP, wait 20 seconds, then reboot. The cure: virus cleaning, adware/malware removal, operating system updates, driver updates, software conflict removal, outdated software removal and live linux boot cds to be able to apply the fixes.

He’ll never hear the end of this!

We as guys make mistakes. Sometimes they are big and we hear about them from our wives far longer than we feel we deserve. However sorry I feel for Hulk Hogan, I think he will take this one (WARNING! NWS! Privates shown.) to his grave! If I’m not mistaken though, despite her dark roots Mrs. Hulkster is a natural blonde!

I can hear her now. "You want it? Go look at the picture because that’s the only time you’ll ever see it again!"

As for the rest of us, we guys wish to thank Mr. Hogan for making our errors in judgement so insignificant in comparison.

Hurricane Trackers

I remember when I lived in Kenner, Lousiana (4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grades) that we had charts and would track the hurricanes. The feeling that a hurricane was coming was not one of fear but of joy that school would be cancelled but sadness that for every inch of water I had in my street a friend of mine had an inch in their house. The rains would come and they would stack their furniture on bricks. Neighbors would chain off roads or sit on porches with shotguns to remind people not to create wakes while driving past their houses.

Well now that everyone has become hurricane watchers, The Severe Weather Information Center is a website that should be part of your weather bookmarks.
