from elfie, via slashdot, the NY times posts an article about how MS is vaguely wooing google...
my favorite part of the article:
"Netscape once threatened Microsoft with a software browser that promised to be an alternative to its overwhelmingly dominant computer operating system."
Can someone explain to me how a browser can possibly threaten an operating system? that would be like montana making threatening gestures at china...
so i LOVE it when writers make statements like this, showing exactly how much they understand the topic they're writing about. |

i think i may have found a new mobo for my box: a mini atx board but i can't be sure... also, this may not fit into the ports i have in my mini tower shown not too clearly here. but we shall see. perhaps i just need to give up on the mini system and get a whole new box, like this one? har har though that looks maybe a little too ostentatious for my tastes. maybe something like this, for a little less, but with all the stuff i'd need. |

Amazing (and scary) how much one can easily find out about someone online...especially someone with a unique last name...i.e.: Dren, 7909 a. ave was built in 1939, check it yourself...too scary, or what?

ok, i don't have nearly enough of these scam emails... if you have any, in your deleted folder or anywhere, send them to me, cause i like to reply to each new one with all of the previous ones combined. in text. inline. i figure, if nothing else, the return weight (because they -have- to download them to make sure i send my bank info) will someday be enough to irritate someone. so send 'em to me please.
oh yeah, and read nodwick on gamespy (it's gamespy.com... too lazy to link tonight)

Is it true that you can only change an institution from the inside? Or is that just the most effective way?
I think I wanna be the next Democrat to move to Fla for the sake of our national soul. It's a lock where the MD electorals are going...and I hear that the Liberaterians are trying to take NH by force of mass.
Anybody wanna join the NRA with me so we can block-vote to disband? It could work.

last night, for the first time ever, I lost a file. I make fun of people for this. I tell them they're damn liars when they say their hard drive went wonky. It's a karmic kick in the butt. It ws my biology midterm essays. I was frantic.
I'm telling you, whatever variation on the file title I could think of I searched for, it was a mess. From now on I will be sympathetic with those who have lost files. I will not call them morons. To their face.
I will appreciate the time I am granted in which to complete a take home exam and will save multiple copies in multiple places. Chuthulu, I have learned my lesson.
pray for my soul. and my diploma.

how's this for you... i was installing my webcam last night, after i got the drivers for the usb pci card. going through... install, install, restart, install, restart some more, get to the "please plug your camera into your usb port now"... so i plugged it in, and the card came loose.
then i heard a beep, and now my windows loads up into a BSOD. so i do a search on this computer (THANK YOU ALL for helping me get it networked), and lo and behold, es1371mp.sys is the driver in the registry for my sound card (at least on AMD)... so now, i have to figure out if i can just copy the file to the registry in safe mode, restart and hope that works, or what... this is a painful start to a friday working from home.

The company I work for has started hosting a FREE alcoholic gathering for local developers on the first Thursday of every month. They're calling it a "booze schmooze" but I think that sounds like some sort of liver disease. Either way it's still free beer. The next event is 11/6/03 from about 6-8pm. Directions can be found here, very little detail on the event can be found here, and the mailing list to be notified of upcoming events and to RSPV for this one can be found here. If you're curious, yes we also use it as a sneaky way to pitch our product, but still... free beer. Oh and there's edibles as well.
Not that most of the people here would be interested, but there is also an event at Orpheus, which is about 3 blocks away, on the first Thursday of every month from 9pm til 2am. |

Inspired by a link Ben sent me earlier, I got a bug report from QA today that stated "events added in the admin only show in the client on their start and end date." This is not terribly uninformative, but of note is the fact that this code was originally written by someone considered to be one of the "best" coders at a former employer of both Ben and myself. I found and fixed the issue and put in this as the resolution: "Actually it appears that some very smart person wrote Access date checking code that was quite simply... stupid. I have unstupided it." I don't know why I felt like sharing that, but I did.

I saw the national anthem played on Saturday by a band at Oktoberfest. Not one person in the three hundred person crowd (besides me and Erin) put their hand on their heart. Not one man removed his cap. The 70 or so people on the bleachers sat. There was cheering, so it wasn't intentional protest, there were plenty of American flag stickers on the cars in the parking lots and folks were happy to raise their steins of beer in salute to the band...you would've thought...
It was pretty depressing. I felt self-conscious becuase I had my hand on my heart during the anthem.

michelle's computer is now online (she's listening to a low down dirty shame right now, "what they do! smiling faces!")
i will have a webcam hooked up in a bit (hrm... something to add to here? a "what's the coder up to page"
books! books! books! javascript, vbscript, history, and more!
and look at the subject again, if you haven't.

that's the credit union i want to join, hehehehe.
so i'm starting to shop around for parts and pieces to build another box (michelle's is starting to fry, and i'm limping on a 450 with 192 megs of ram... it's time to start keeping up with my cable modem, hehehe.)... and found an ECS P4VXASD2+ motherboard at tufshop.com (through pricewatch of course) for 30 bucks... just seems a little... too good to be true, like, "yes, you get the motherboard, but the only chip that will fit it costs 3000 dollars, muhuhahahaha."
ok, maybe not that bad, but yeah, this may or may not be the first system i build completely from scratch. |

seems interesting. A new grad focus at Hopkins...so now that I'm staying in the Charm for awhile I may look into it. I would make a great soldier: I'm judgemental and focused, and suprisingly enough I'm really good at following orders. (I like orders. Orders are fun.)
Anybody know about interesting grad programs re law or govn't stuff? I'm looking through the obscure right now, so make 'em wierd. Like Legislating Belly-Button Lint as a major or something.

something odd... yesterday, independantly, render and i both got a desire to listen to pink floyd. i found a stream on shoutcast that plays pink floyd all the time (they have a rush one too), and he was glad, as was i.
i know, i know, that's not too odd... here's the coincidence... on yesterday, in history (60 something? 8?) was the first time pink floyd played out. in london, they played to 2000 people.
ok, i thought it was pretty cool... meh

Two years ago I took a required Ethics course and received a "D" because I did not turn in the final paper, a personal Code of Ethics. Tonight I turned it in, and because of that I might graduate in January. Hooray. I wish I had learned earlier in life that procrastination is poisonous. But the celebration is nice and earlier this evening we went for a drink. The waiter had green eyes. Obvious non-smoker.

i find it interesting the ways in which people from various backgrounds treat doing studies of raves. this isn't too surprising, considering i come from an anthropology background. so i break things down into cultural systems, i have my own vocabulary that i use and define things i write about with. a sociologist would, as expected, have another, and a psychologist, a philosopher, or neuroscientist still others.

it's not a good idea to read an exciting book when you want to go to sleep. i've been reading jon katz's book geeks all day, on and off (even during the interview, waiting for people to come in to the conference room)... and i seem to be a lukewarm geek. i get all the pop culture references, i am a coder, but (like ralph, et al.), people don't make me uncomfortable. people are easier, sometimes, to understand, than computers, i think. they are laid open, because they want to be.

Can anyone recommend any good data recovery software? Preferably free, but I'd be willing to pay for it if I were SURE it was going to work. I managed to empty my recycle bin at home when I really shouldn't have and Norton UnErase just doesn't do the job like it used to. I've tried demo versions of several data recovery products and most of them can find a plethora files that were deleted MONTHS ago, but for some reason each of them can only find one or two of about fifty files that I accidentally deleted on Saturday. Strangely enough, each product seems to be finding a DIFFERENT one or two files, so I certainly don't want to have to buy several products in order to get all the files back. Any recommendations? Thanks.

As Ben can testify firsthand, dealing with cancer is just utter fucking shit...

Since the last time I wrote I've learned a few things that I think I should share with you in the spirit of shared wisdom:
1) it's a house of mirrors out there in the cold world
2) sincerity is an easy disguise
3) people, most of them, are total jizzbags
I give these nuggets to you so that you can avoid learning them all on your lonesome. Marinate, cook, serve with fresh basil.

you can't get a value from a function that doesn't return any values, now can you? so when you have a function like
Function PrepareXML(string)
End Function
and you've commented out the only line of code inside the function... PrepareXML(rst("title")) isn't going to work very well, now is it?

This is great. As you may already know, this site is dead. Maybe some good posting will make EAers get their butts in gear. |

Yes, I know, playoff baseball for those of you in MD involves watching the Yankees play this year (ok, the last few years), but my beloved Cubbies are in the NLCS after punting the Braves out in Atlanta last night...wheeee
I have NLCS and WS tickets, can't wait!

from sarah: popeye's in baltimore serves new item.
render quipped quickly that he would be more concerned if it showed up in his sushi, to which i was only too happy to point out that there should exist a FievelMaki (little red cap next to the ginger)... and for those of a more fiery bent (read: Ralph), the spicy Fievel hand roll... extra wasabi!
i want my in'n'out burger and fries damnit... |
