Since spring of last year, I've been using a Samsung T619 as my cell phone. This was my first contract (as in a post-paid, sign your life away to T-Mobile, and sell your mother's soul to the devil) phone in many years. My previous phones (a Nokia 6030 and a Nokia 3595 were prepaid). It has given much good service, and I enjoyed my first 'flip' phone. But it has its limits, and I wanted something that I could put .mp3s on from my computer (and use them as my ringtone, which I cannot do with my current phone). Earlier this year, my boss acquired a surplus phone from one of his relatives, and offered it to me. And I took it. So my new(?) phone is a Motorola Motorizr Z3. Compared to the old phone, it has a memory card slot, so I can dump a whole load of .mp3s on it (and I can now use the Lumberjack Song for my ringtone without having to buy it from T-zones. Stick it to the Man!), the camera has a flash (a darn good one too. Brighter than my flashlight), and I can use the gmail application without having to open my phone's browser (a must, since I almost use my gmail address exclusively...)

So, what did you do today?
Today was my day off. My one day off this week. My one say to sleep in and do absolutely nothing. And, what did I do? Got up even earlier than normal. And then I headed out. My boss's cousin was having computer problems, and so I was asked to fix it. Multiple virus infections, a couple of trojan horses, and a 'hot version' of windows that spat put annoying pop-ups every five minutes (thanks to The Anti-Christ). It took me three hours to bring it under control (most of that was spent downloading an acceptable AV and lecturing Billie on the virtues of Shiny Side Out, and practicing safe hex). After running an av scan (and tell him that his supposed AV program in an of itself was malware), I got his system locked down.
Then off to his sister's house. There, I secured the Wi-Fi (so they won't be providing free internet access to their neighbors). then added another computer to their home network. In the past two weeks, I've 'Wi-Fi'ed three houses, deloused two computers, and nuked one computer from orbit. And I still need to finish upgrading one computer's hardware.
When you call for tech support, your call is usually routed to India. When an Indian has computer problems, he comes to me........
So, what did you do on your day off?
What's on the Boob Tube?
I really don't have time to watch TV. Between work and commuting to and from work, I really don't follow TV anymore (with the possible exceptions of Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs and Monday Night Football). However, as a fovar to those of you who do watch TV, here's the list of shows that got canceled, and the list of shows that made it.

Do Not Panic
Ok. so you're sitting down to your computer, and you turn it on and nothing happens. What do you do? Aside from cursing at The Anti-Christ, and or installing Linux, here's 10 steps you can take. I myself am partial to the recovery console option (in fact I have it installed as a boot option). It's easy to put the recovery console on your hard drive. Just put your windows xp cd in the drive (I'm assuming your cd drive is 'd:'). Then go to 'start', 'run' and type 'd:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons'. Then the next time you boot your computer, you'll have the option of either booting into windows or into the recovery console.

On the way home from work,
I'm on the bus going home from work. Generally, I keep to myself and ignore world around me. So this man sits near me and asks of not to snitch on him he he opens his bottle. I don't say anything, I just get up and go to another seat. I don't know what he had in his bottle, but judging by how the bus driver told him he can't have an open container on the bus and ordered him off, one can probably assume that it wasn't diet coke he was drinking.... (yes, Pierce Transit is dry).
Had he not asked me not to snitch, he probably could've gotten away with it. This is one of those areas where I could really care less what you're doing, but asking me to cover-up is crossing the line.

It's the first really hot day this year.
And I have to work on it. At least the boss fixed the air conditioning.
Edit: And I just happened to notice that the next forecast cloudy day will also be my next day off. I must have all the luck.
Breaking news
The birth spasm has occurred. My cousin had a baby girl (named Aryanna) at 1:49 this morning. Now, who's next?
The only other question I have is that I know her husband is a Pastafarian, and so where's the Full Pirate Regalia? The Noodly Master has smiled upon them, and surely would smile more if The Chosen Attire was worn.....

And I thought I owed the IRS a lot....
For the second year in a row, I had to pay when I filed my tax return. Something I learned from my father (more importantly, his run-ins with the IRS) is to always square away your dealings with the IRS quickly. It's never easy, but in the long run, it's the wisest move to toe the line when it comes to taxes.....
Having said that, Al Sharpton owes about $1.5 million...... I may have gotten into trouble in past with debt, but not that deep.

How rude!
Since I'm going to be working on Mother's Day, I called my mom today. And she hung up on me! I wat doing my duty as a son and I got hung up on. Well, at least I remembered this year. And she did thank me. But still, I got hung up on....
Anyway, happy Mother's Day to all your mothers.

Griffey.....
From somewhere in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division): apparently Ken Griffey, Jr. wants to come back to Seattle. Having been around to remember when he first left Seattle, I just want to say: 'Eat my shorts!" Safeco Field was built pretty much just for you, and you still wanted to leave. Better yet, let's take Griffey back. And put him center field. In a pillory. Then supply all the fans with various and sundry rotting vegetation and let them on to the field.....

A new way to manage tabs
In firefox, I have been using the tab mix plus extension to manage my tabbed browsing (an extension like this is essential when viewing sites like Fark). Before, I was using the tabbrowser extension, but it was never updated for Firefox 2 when it was released, so I had to switch. Today, I went to the tabbroswer extension web-site and a new version has been published. Not only is TBE now compatible with FIrefox 2, but it looks like it'll work with 3 as well. The main change in this release is that instead of one extension, it is now four different extensions: Informational Tab, Multiple Tab Handler, Source Viewer Tab, and Tree Style Tab. It actually makes sense to have this split into four extensions, given all that TBE was trying to originally do, and the complications that sometimes resulted (even the TBE website itself recommended that you do not use it (it was, and still is, created only for the author's personal convenience). I myself used it in the past, and I will use it now, since I like the features and the power it has, but if you're looking for a tab manager, go with tab mix plus first. It won't cause you nearly as much grief if you're a simple user. If you're a glutton for punishment, and you've done a recent full system back-up, go ahead and try it...
EDIT: This extension also works with Tab Mix Plus.....
Texting/SMS Dictionary
I've previously asked if I was the last person to use proper grammar/spelling whenever I text or sms/mms people (actually, a good chunk of the posts on this blog now originate from my cell phone). Anyway, if you've ever wondered what people are saying when they're testing you, here's a handy dictionary.
A wee bit faster......
I've noticed of late that whenever I used Firefox (yes, it's my spreadfirefox link), it's always seemed slow. Slow to load up, and then half the web hung up in some form or another. To the point that I started dabbling with Safari, Opera, and (Gasp!) Intranet Exploder. So today, I decided to do something about it. When I started up Firefox today, I went through my extensions. All 59 of them. And uninstalled a third of them (I never used them anyway, and many of them were out-dated). Then I went through and got rid of all my themes (I don't know why I got them to begin with, since I just use the default theme, anyway). And firefox is a faster now. When I fix friends' computers, the most common cause of problems is the '3 stooges syndrome' at start-up. And firefox can get that issue as well, apparently......

A bit of wisdom regarding music.
If people don't like your music, then you're not playing it loud enough...
Yet another pointless bit of wisdom.
- Gambling is the quickest.
- Women are the most fun (generally speaking).
- Windows is the surest. The Anti-Christ should be pleased.

Don't Drink the Water
In the next couple of months or so:
- My sister will have a girl.
- My cousin will have a girl.
- My boss's cousin will have a boy.
- My other cousin (actually I have more than two cousins, but for the purpose of this posts, my other cousins are irrelevant) will have a boy.
- One of my former co-workers has also announced that she will be experiencing the birth spasm soon, but she hasn't said what she will be having. I'm assuming that she will be giving birth to a fully developed Midget in Pirate Regalia. Ramen.
At least five blessed events in the very near future. Must be something in the water. Don't drink the water.

RIP Edward Lorenz
The father of chaos theory has passed away at the age of ninety. Meteorology will never be the same. His main contribution was to prove that small events (like a butterfly flapping its wings) can set off enormous events (like a tornado in Texas).
Personally, I don't need his theories to predict the weather. I just take a look at my schedule at work. If I'm off, it's going to rain. If I have to work, it'll be sunny.....

Way to go, Craig

For those who haven't seen the Britney Spears monologue:
Childrearing......
Now, everyone knows that children don't come instruction manuals. Some of it's common sense, some of it's intuition. It's not easy, but it is possible to teach a child right from wrong. However there are some things that should be so obvious. Like this couple who were arguing about which gang the child should join. Personally, I think all known gang members should be sterilized.

Foreigner's latest tour......
Is being sponsored by the AARP? I wouldn't say they're old but:
- Instead of groupies backstage, it's just a registered nurse with a bran muffin..
- Mick Jones will be playing the guitar one-handed so he can hold his walker.
- Their costumes are being resewn to help conceal the fact that they wear depends.
- All performances will be over bt 3:00 pm.
- The tour bus will going only 5 miles an hour with the left turn light on all the way.
Everybody needs this message
Especially me:
If one would always look for the bright side, then life won't be so dull and dreary.
This just about sums up life
Life in general, and especially me right now. But don't we all need a little bit of insanity in our lives?
Or do we need to just see Brian May in a tuxedo? (Before anyone says anything, I am straight....)

Google buys the U.S. Government!
Google is set to buy the U.S. Government. Oh, and here are infoworld's other April Fool's pranks.
Sometimes, it's just the little things....
This past week or so has been a bit too stressful for my liking. I'm not going into details (possibly later, but for now I'm not posting such thing to the internet). Then I get an email from my cousin out of the blue. And my week is made. Sometimes, it just the little things in life that will brighten your life.
Opening Day...
It was yesterday for The New World Order (Mind-Control Division). I had a fresh roll of Aluminum foil ready for my hat so I could watch the Mariners cut off and hand the Texas Rangers their balls. But a co-worker was sick, and other co-worker who was called in to replace her was sick. And so I get called in. And I missed the game. Don't get me wrong. The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) is still an evil organization, but there activities can be observed, provided the proper safeguards are observed.

Here we go again
I'm in the middle of a three day off in a row stretch. I've got 240 gigs of hard drive space available. It's about time for me to wipe and rebuild my system (I do it on a regular basis to clear out bugs, virii, and spyware). I think I'll try to dual-boot with Windows ME and WIndows XP. Again (I used to do it all the time).
Beauregard T. Shagnasty, it's time to change your shorts again. Seriously. I saw one of The Underpants Gnomes passed out on your front lawn....

Nothing to see here, just move along....
At long last, I can now post to the blog with Safari for windows. I tried it before with the previous version, but I could never actually write an entry. While it is something that may come in useful in the future ( like if Hell freezes over, I lose my balls, and I buy a Mac & decide not to use Firefox). In the meantime, I think I'll continue to use Windows Live Writer, which also happens to be the only Windows Live product that won't make your computer levitate in the air, spin around, and spew forth split pea soup.

Stipe is out
Michael Stipe is out. No, not that out, the other out. I will be the first to admit that I don't have the best set of gaydar, and this proves it. I had no farking idea.
And R.E.M. was one of those bands that I grew with (I still have my copies of Green, Out of Time, Automatic For The People, and Monster).
Roger Bryant is no more
Not really. I'm still here, but if you're trying to reach me at my att.net email addresses, good luck. I just canceled my AT&T WorldNet account. They were going to raise the price, and I find it unconscionable to pay close to 8 dollars a month for a piece-of-shit news server and 6 email addresses that don't have that much space. My 1 gmail address has twice the space that my entire AT&T account has. And I can access it from my mobile phone, something I could never do with AT&T.
Good Riddance, Ma Bell.

A record you don't want broken......
Some of my past employment has been in the food-service industry. One of the many constants in this profession is the occasional visit from the local health department. As much as an annoyance that they can be, they are there to keep people safe (being responsible for an outbreak of salmonella, e. coli, or hepatitis will make anyone's day). Anyway, a restaurant in Georgia has just set the record. For the lowest score on an inspection. The health department may be a pain in the ass, but food poisoning is even worse.....

Happy Anniversary
7 years ago today was the Nisqually Earthquake. At the time, I was working in the Westlake Center. I was at work when the shaking started. By the time it ended, I was already out of the building, and proceeded to return to work.
I first noticed the shaking when I heard a rhythmic crashing (which was the sound of the downtown Nordstrom crashing into an adjoining building). Due to the monorail being right next to the building, I at first thought that the shaking was the monorail until I realized the entire 24 story office tower was shaking along with the mall. During the day after the earthquake, a disaster was declared, and Metro therefore provided service for free the rest of the day (moot point since I had a pass at the time....). The damage at my apartment was minimal, just a lam and a few models got knocked over). My younger brother (who was my roommate at the time) was asleep at the time and his bed was right next to his CD shelf). He woke up awash in a sea of CD's.
A little trip to the grocery store gone terribly wrong
So, I went to the supermarket today (shoulda gone to Wally World, but I didn't want to ride the bus on my day if it was possible). So I went to this establishment called Saar's Marketplace. The only thing it has going for it is it's in walking distance of my apartment (well, there's also the Safeway 16 blocks down Pacific Avenue, but that's too far to walk with a load of groceries....). So I go into Saar's and the first thing I notice is the meat department. They may have some great deals, but the first thing I noticed was the odor. It does not bode well for any meat department/butcher shop if the first thing I smell is something rotting. I don't know what it was, but that was an immediate turn-off (all the items on my list were non-perishable, so I didn't need to walk out right away). After making my purchase, I headed home, and noticed the receipt. Being a devout pastafarian, I do consume ramen on a regular basis (the fact that it's dirt cheap doesn't hurt either). What does hurt is when I'm charged 5¢ more per package than what the shelf price is and I'm charged for 10 packages rather than the 6 that I bought. This isn't the previous time that I got screwed at the check-out either. About a month ago, I bought a loaf of bread and some other items there. When I got home, I noticed that they had so conveniently decided that while I should pay for the bread, I really didn't need it, and they did not bag it.
I can excuse the smell of rot and decay in the meat department (well, not really, but that's the job of the health department, and a complaint to them will be forthcoming). I will not excuse malice and incompetence (there is no difference between the two really) from the cashier. And I will never shop at Saar's again.

Until then, it should be a lucky year for a certain water rat.

So much hard work
To get an undefeated regular season. And it's good only for second place. Tom Brady gets his Well-Deserved Beating, coming from the usual source of quarterback beatings: the defensive line (in this case the Giants).
This also marks the first time that a wild-card team has even made it to the Super Bowl (not a small feat in and of itself). It just makes winning it that much more a sweeter victory. ALL HAIL ELI MANNING!
I do have to admit that after the Seahawks got beat by the Packers, I was rooting for New York and Indianapolis to make it the Super Bowl, so I could watch the Manning Bowl, but fate did not dictate that.
Now to go follow the NHL, and in a couple of months you'll need to put your tin-foil hats back on because The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) will be starting up again.....
More on Tom Petty
It's been a while since I posted a video link & having seen Tom Petty's performance a few minutes ago at the Super Bowl. Anyway, don't back down....
Old but still good
Tom Petty is doing the half-time show at the Super Bowl. His face just broke my TV screen, but it's all good, since he still rocks.....
This is obviously the high point of this year's game. Now if Eli Manning could give Tom Brady is Well-Deserved beating.....

For the first time
Since 1928, neither the President nor the Vice-President are running for the presidency. Now if I recall my history correctly 1928 is the year Herbert Hoover was elected to the white house, and the next year was the start of the Great Depression.
Not to start a panic, but if you thought the economy was bad now.....
From the ashes.....
Netscape is dying. After Friday, February 1st, there will not be nay more updates. It's was a long journey, but in all reality Netscape has long been dead. I didn't get my 1st computer until November 2000 (the computer is still going strong. In fact, this post is being written on it), and by then, AOHell has acquired it, and the source code had been released as open source. Almost as an afterthought, Gateway had put the installer for Netscape 4.06 on it which I installed. Compared to IE 5.5/6, it was about on par. Unfortunately, it was also running Windows ME (thank you to The Anti-Christ, and I had some other issue necessitating a wipe and rebuild of my hard drive, and the installer was very will hidden on my restore set. So I lost it, and I used IE for several years.
In the meanwhile, the Mozilla foundation had been founded and the code that started out to be Netscape was now being released as the Mozilla suite (Netscape 6/7 is essentially the Mozilla suite with a buncha of AOHell crap bundled into them). From the Mozilla Suite, it was decided to develop just a browser (rather than a full internet suite), and this became phoenix, then firebird (when I first started using it), and now you all now it as firefox. Another effort to produce a dedicated email client result in Thunderbird. Along the way, the Mozilla suite was discontinued, but it's descendant still lives on in the form of SeaMonkey.
Netscape is dying they say. I say Netscape died when AOHell bought them out. But Netscape still lives. Firefox and Thunderbird are it's great-great grandchildren descended from a long line going all the was back to 1994 and before.
BTW, Netscape and Internet Explorer both can trace there lineage in one form or another to NCSA Mosaic. If you're really feeling adventurous, you can give it a try by downloading it here. Otherwise, you're better off by downloading and using Firefox.
Snow!
Wolf up this morning, and was greeted by this. Nothing like cocaine falling from the sky. And off course, it' my day off....

KDE ported to windows
The KDE desktop environment has been ported to windows. It's still in very pre-release alpha, which means that the only guarantee is that it is not going to work. Which means it's still even more stable than windows. But it's a start. The games work. At least most of them. The solitaire is much better than the one that The Anti-Christ supplies with windoze. If you're not going to install it right away, then at least keep an eye it. This could be something worth following.....

Happy Holiday to all
Well, today was Christmas, but I didn't celebrate it. At least, not today. My siblings & parents celebrated it at my sisters house on Sunday (but I had to work, so I missed it). Then, the extended family got together on Christmas eve at my grandmother's (yes, I made it to that one. The appropriate death threat to my boss guaranteed I got the time off for that). Anywho, here is the list of some of the plunder I got from the Dread Christmas Pirate Santa & The Underpants Gnomes:
- A nice fleece hoodie and a cold (though I could do without that one) from my boss.
- Socks (yes, I did ask them)
- Table ware (plates, bowls, silverware, etc) for at least 6 (thanks to my sister).
- Kitchenware from my parents (maybe my Mom wants me to return her pizza cutter &cheese grater).
- Spam
- A target gift card (you can never go wrong with that).
And what really took the cake was the gift my cousin gave me:
- A roll of Aluminum Foil (specifically so I can make a hat with it).

Happy Godless Pagan Holiday
Today is Winter Solstice. Forget Christmas, this is the old skool holiday, predating Christianity by millennia. With Christmas becoming so commercialized, most people nowadays are now celebrating Winter Solstice, not Christmas, whether they admit it or not. Your actions speak more about you than your word.
As a devout Pastafarian, I celebrate Holiday, which encompasses all of December and January. However, since The Flying Spaghetti Monster teaches Flimsy Moral Standards, it doesn't really matter how you celebrate, or what you celebrate, of if you celebrate at all. As long as you have a good time and wear the Chosen Attire (Full Pirate Regalia).

Hawks have clinched it
The Seahawks have clinched the NFC West title. Again. I would've blogged about it earlier, but my Real Life® got in the way (with $Day-Job and all). Too bad they lost today, though.
Note to Kurt Warner: You may be a Cardinal, but you need to wear the football helmet. Not the mitre.
The truth about Santa you really need to know
Santa is white, and he wants your kids to sit in his lap. Santa is really Michael Jackson.
Santa live is the middle of nowhere, works only one night a year, and has the munchies so bad that he has to have milk and cookies at every stop he makes. Santa smokes pot (this year I'm gonna leave Doritos for him).
Visions of flying reindeer and toy-making elves? Santa drops acid.
If you've seen any of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, you know what elves look like. Those aren't elves in Santa's workshop. Those are The Underpants Gnomes (which also explains why you get so much underwear for Christmas).
If you stay up for Santa, and you don't see him, don't be discouraged. This year he will have to deliver to about 34,722 homes per second. You only see 24 frames per second at a cinema.
Well, I should stop before I get nothing for Christmas.....

This time, The Noodly Master revealed Himself in a pumpkin pie at a recent Thanksgiving dinner.
Ramen.
What If.....
LIke many people, I use gmail (you can even email me if you wish). Basically, it's a useful service form Google. But have you ever wondered what if The Anti-Christ had designed it?
Iron Chef
Tonight's battle is featuring Paula Dean and Robert Irvine. I haven't seen this much trash talking, even in the WWE.
Edit: Paula Dean won the battle....

DC Comics to jump the shark
A while back, I posted about Marvel Comics jumping the shark when Captain America got killed (apparently, though, Steve Rogers, Captain America's alter ego may not have been killed after all, and could be coming back; allbeit wearing a leather biker jacket and swimming trunks...)
Anyway, now it's DC Comics turn. Bruce Wayne, aka Batman is about to snuff it.. Good Riddance to that Freeloading Bastard, I hope he fries......(Bonus points if you can figure out who I'm quoting, and from where).

So I'm watching the game tonight
And all I have to say is: All your NFC West are belong to Seattle. San Francisco can't even score from the 1 yard line.

Have you ever wondered
How are Hard drive works? Here is an interesting write-up. When I first bought my computer, it came with a 30-gigabyte HDD (which was a $150.00 upgrade from the original 10 gigabyte). Then, I shelled out another $150.00 to add a second 30 gig drive. 4 years later, I paid about $80.00 to replace one of them with a 80 gig model, and earlier this year, the other 30-gig drive got replace with a 160 gig drive. For about $75.00. Did I also mention that hard drives are becoming cheaper?
More football is coming to Seattle
This is something I'm excited for. An MLS team is coming to the great Pacific NorthWet. Of the only six channels that I bother to watch, one is Fox Soccer Channel.

163 years
The drug crazed moron that shot up the Tacoma Mall 2 years ago got 163 years for it. He got off way too easy. I was in the mall that day. He deserves to be shot himself, just as he shot others (and even paralyzed one, who I happen to count as one of my friends). Or better yet, don't jail him, don't shoot him. He should be double-pithed, and left to live his life out as a vegatable.
