So, did anyone catch the free show on the web cam last night?

I suppose if a man can sue Home Depot for getting his butt glued to the toilet then a man can also sue his ex-girlfriend for gluing his genitals to his abdomen and his butt cheeks together.

Oh man! I was going to pull an all nighter last night but I went to sleep and missed out on a bag of crap.

The Compaq Proliant DL590/64 server (pdf) (monster) has left my house! I failed to install Windows 2003 Server on it. Couldn’t even format the 18gb scsi hard drives. I made some good efforts but am happy to see it in someone else’s hands.

There is _one_ thing that I want to do today and I pretty sure it won’t get done for some time. There are 3 things I’m ranking pretty highly and maybe 2 of those will get done. There are 2 things that definitely need attention and I’m pretty sure one of those will get done. And there is 1 thing that must get completed in the wee hours of the night and it may run over to tomorrow but will be finished before nightfall Saturday. Then I have a couple of self-serving things on the backburner.

Student: Destiny?
Master: You decide.

Student: I am just the shell of the man I once was.
Master: So did you keep the good part or bad?

Student: Beat up again.
Master: Better than beat down.

Once upon a time (in the Allaire days) I was heading up the effort to create a CFUG in Knoxville but that’s another story. MacroMedia now owns ColdFusion until Adobe finishes the buyout or merger or has that fallen through or already happened? Anyone, using the wonderful world of Google Maps you can now visually find a MacroMedia Users Group. Nice!

Always, always! Check the seat before sitting down.

BOULDER, Colo. – Home Depot was sued by a shopper who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.

The Hardest Riddle On The Internet sucked me in. I got to level 4 of 138 before I had the will power to pull away. Warning! This is fun!

If you have no tolerance for these kinds of things, apparently this is a walk-thru but I haven’t looked to confirm.

There is no reason that she could not find a husband..I mean, it is a really nice house.

Collective synchronisation:

Collective synchronisation occurs in nature when crickets start chirping in unison. In some parts of the world, fireflies blink on and off in perfect synchrony like a Christmas tree. The monthly cycles of women living together have also been known to synchronize.

I worked at an office staffed mostly by women and there was a particular time each month that simply behooved having a ready supply of chocolate. When Sarah gets a little older the boys and I are going to have to have a monthly camping trip. But anyhow, the article is about bridges.

Two constants in the world of programming: "Two weeks" and "Close of business"

From the client’s perspective both of these mean "I have a commitment and I will take great pleasure in demeaning you when you miss them. I will dangle your check above you and belittle you."
From the programmer’s perspective it means "shutup. I’m trying to work."

Of course I’m not being serious. When I say two weeks or cob I mean it.
