The Ohio Linux Fest was great fun. I got some good pictures. I will be posting them later. The talks were good. It was great fun. I got to have Bit more advanture then the rest of the people there. At the end when I was helping taking things down, I sliced my finger open,[…]
I had a funny thing happen to me on the bike ride home today. While I was coming down Bayard St this young girl in a red BMW must not have liked the fact that I was on “her” road. So even though there was plenty of room to pass me while staying in the[…]
But inner geek only rates me as 55.42406% Extreme Geek :'( I wish I had gotten in the 90’s% which is Dysfunctional Geek I guess I have to try hard here. But nerd tests rated me higher in the geek area then innnergeek.
I was messing around with Google Earth. I zoomed in on the point (Point State park) and when I looked at it, there was something out of place. When I zoomed in closer there were boats on the land. And I realized that the picture that they are using for that view is from last[…]
While I was surfing around the Short wave radio bands, I keep finding that US based stations fall into 2 main categories. The first category is the nut job Radio evangelicalisms who think that they know when the rapture will be. And the second category nut job paranoid stuff. I am not saying all Short[…]
I find this new name for the next version of windows funny. Why would I say this. Well the last project I worked on at work was called VISTA and it was an acronym for “VISualization of Threats and Attacks” and I think that is almost correct for windows, windows is a threat to computers,[…]
Today I tried to call a store to find out their hours, the thing is I messed up one of the numbers of the phone number. Usually when you get a wrong number you end up with a very short time on the phone. But not this time for me, the lady on the other[…]
Today on my bike ride home from work, I was coming down a hill, at a higher rater speed then I should have been for the conditions of the road. The road was wet, as I rounded the bend I see a truck, so I figured I should slow down, the good thing was that[…]
A friend of mine posted the following on his blog While running an errand to make some copies of music, I was listening to a Pittsburgh Classic Oldies station. I heard Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”, and was shocked to discover that she’s a network protocol engineer! Towards the end of the song, there’s a break where[…]
I have a friend (WA3FKG) that reposted a joke he saw on another web site of a local Pittsburgh ham club, It is about the weather forcast in Dayton this year for the Ham fest. I have never been to the Ham fest, I would like to go some year, but just not this year.
I was wondering if I get tickets to a movie tomorrow night, and I have had the following problem with Fandango, most of the time it just times out. And the few times that it does not I get a server error, I find this fun, then when you want to check them at the[…]
Pastor Stiegemeyer, a pastor here in Pittsburgh (LCMS) found an article about Frogs exploding. Exploding frogs, I wonder if we could use that on our war on terrorism. Better yet, could we cross bread them with the frogs that excrete the hallucinogenic drug. LOOK OUT IT AN EXPLOSIVE HULLUCINOGENIC FROG!!!!! Sorry I could not resist[…]
Cartoon network has a parody of the lawyers commercial. Tonight they had one on about “if you have hurt your self and sue yourself for the money you may not be entitled too” Last night when I first saw it, I thought it was brilliant; the guy who came up with that one deserves a[…]
Yesterday when I was out on one of my “fun” quests (see yesterdays post about the printing of the poster), I found a Red Swingline Stapler. You know like the one Milton had in the movie “Office Space” and no I did not pay the $30 that you will see on websites. It was just[…]
I think that peta has lost it, they claim fish are smarter the dogs. Well I might give them that when I look into the eyes of my Bettas they do seam to have some intelligence to them. But that is just antidotal evidence and no way to form a campaign. Even if fish are[…]
