The great Tuttle Conspiracy

by @ Saturday, March 25th, 2006. Filed under Humor, Technology

Sigh – the City Manager of Tuttle, Ok sees a default webserver installation screen and goes apeshit on the Linux distro contact-us form. “I am computer literate! I have 22 years in computer systems engineering and operation. Now, can you tell me how to remove “your software” that you acknowledge you provided free of charge? [...]

I’d been thinking about making my own inverted planters for a while – here are a neat batch of instructions/details/pictures.

In Vegas

by @ Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006. Filed under Misc

I’m in Vegas this week with Jason – we’re both working the booth for security products at the Tele-Next conference in the Mandalay Bay hotel. After our first day of standing up and talking for ten hours, we headed over to Quark’s Bar which was fun – even thought we got there after Quark had [...]

The Watchmen

I just finished “Watchmen” and it may well be the most powerful graphic novel ever written. I had Alan’s “From Hell” and that was amazing. There’s no doubt that Alan is a genius – he must not only immerse himself on concept of the future but also the past. I didn’t care for the art [...]

Guns and Such: I just bought a GP WASR-10

More commonly just called a “Romanian AK-47.” It’s more or less similar specs to an AK-47 (7.62 mm, semi-auto, looks like an AKM), has pre-ban features like bayonet lug, pistol grip, high capacity 30-round magazines (I got two with the purchase, but only one is functional — the other, it seems, has a problem with [...]

Lets talk about this, next time people wax poetic on founding fathers.

More is known about Oney Judge than any other Mount Vernon slave because she lived to an old age, and she was interviewed by abolitionist newspapers in the nineteenth century. … Scared, lonely and miserable, Oney tried to negotiate through Whipple. She offered to return to the Washingtons, but only if she would be guaranteed [...]

Happy St. Patty’s Day Everyone!!

by @ Friday, March 17th, 2006. Filed under Misc

Ok, so I’m only a quarter Irish as my full blooded Irish friends point out, BUT I LOVE ST. PATTY’S DAY.  I love Green Beer, Green Margarita’s, Corn Beef and Cabbage.  The husband picked me up Green Bread last week from Great Harvest Bread Company, but the problem with that is that you don’t know [...]

Since I haven’t done much interesting, check out this.

Announced at the gas station

by @ Monday, March 13th, 2006. Filed under Misc

I was in Marshall,VA this weekend and while picking up a bottle of water at the BP, I heard come over the announcement speakers: “Forget Mom’s birthday? No problem, pick her up a green card.” That was funny on a few levels.

Genie out of the bottle

by @ Saturday, March 4th, 2006. Filed under Misc

Here’s an online sci-fi story that I enjoyed. “When shall these three meet again, in thunder, lightning or in rain?” The dark, hook-nosed lab-coated woman looked as if she might have been one of the witches. And, had this been one of the world of Harmony and Reason’s updated Shakespearean plays at the New Globe [...]
