let's see, trying to close on a house, video card in my desktop died, my subie got rear-ended, what else can happen this week?
vidcard is clearcut, except I have an aftermarket cooler on it that may complicate warranty replacement. =(
Car is okay, but rear bumper is a bit mushed.

Just up from a series of weird and disturbing dreams that mostly involved death and reincarnation. Several of both now that I think about it. I think I blame sythyry for this.
I haven't been posting a lot lately, sorry about that. between relocation last november, job since February, and househunt since September I've been, well, distracted. Distractions will likely continue until morale improves.

Pretty damned furious now. And of course cops protect their own, even when their own are the worst examples.

Warren Ellis issues a challenge to his Whitechapel readers to re-design superman based on just a few core concepts: He wears blue, a red S, and some required text for a comic book cover, and go from there, with total freedom as to style and character outside those basic elements.
These folks knock it out of the park.

We had a power outage on friday for about two hours. the HR23-700 was on battery backup the whole time and as far as I know did not run out of power. I sat down to watch some of friday's shows today, and found them to have not been recorded, with various reasons:
This episode was canceled because it did not match your show type settings or the program has already been recorded (13)
This episode was canceled because of a programming update (13)
This episode was canceled because the viewer changed its recording parameters (7)
Checking the Series Manager, I find that all 49 of my series had vanished, and need to be rebuilt from memory.
How could this have happened? Even if power HAD failed, it shouldn't have destroyed all my season settings. All my other settings and recordings are intact. Was there a software update that exploded?
Needless to say, I am disturbed, disappointed, and generally wishing I had never switched from my Gen II DirecTiVo.

Wow.. [Feb. 9th, 2010|09:14 am]
I've been of the opinion that Taurus has gotten a bit overboard with advertising its Judge line of revolvers(45 long colt/410 shotshell) for self-defense, .410 shotshell just isn't adequate IMO. I think they've finally jumped the shark though.
Stick a 3 foot sword blade on this thing and get a spiky hairdo and you'll be ready to SAVE THE WORLD.

best job prospect in months [Dec. 29th, 2009|02:11 pm]
and it's email marketing. I know, at least these guys are the legit kind, and are trying to stay out of trouble when a big corporate contract gets dumped in their laps, and they need to make sure they're all Best Practices and everything.
Hey it's a valid offshoot of my anti-spam skills, and I'm not working for Scott Richter or anything.

I'm continuing to be disappointed by people who still claim some major superiority of Trek in Trek vs Wars debate (Which as far as I'm concerned was ended decisively somewhere in 2002). I welcome discussion of this and other ideas below.
