January 2006 – Prosthetically Hip

Time to Unmask the Devil

So, I got my 30-day eviction notice today. Did I not call it? 30 days… And to think, today I decided to dry up for a bit. Talk about timing.

A day in the life of a cameraphone.

Welcome back, Exxon! Glorious vendor of EZ-Serve hotdogs (yes, I know that it’s not an EZ-Serve, but eh.). It has been too long, old friend. So I headed in, sporting the belt-buckle my Texas co-workers presented to me during our office X-mas party. Big Texas, brah. It’s bronze, but looks more golden in this photo.… Continue reading A day in the life of a cameraphone.

Pirates and Float.

So I ran into my buddy Andy last night on my way home. Andy is not the most technical guy, and he doesn’t need to be. He doesn’t need to know the intricacies (or basics, really) of X/HTML or CSS of Apache Virtual Servers, etc. Well, he kept figuring he was doing something wrong on… Continue reading Pirates and Float.

Another reason why I won’t be a crazy cat lady.

For one, there is that whole cat allergy. Oh, and I’m a guy. Kinda crosses me of the eligibility list for being a Crazy Cat Lady™. Anyways, this post is intended for you cat people. Some British scientists from the Imperial College (London) believe schizophrenia may be caused by cat feces. They have found strong… Continue reading Another reason why I won’t be a crazy cat lady.

‘Cause you come from out of nowhere…

Drama begets drama. It’s weird. Just by typing this entry, I am getting involved, somehow. Perpetratin’ the Hate™, as I like to say. The odd thing is, these two recent bits of “drama” (they’re not, really – just examples) seemed to come out of nowhere. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve been known to stir… Continue reading ‘Cause you come from out of nowhere…

Liquid Crystal Love, Cathode Ray Hate

So, I haven’t cleaned or re-organized, but here is my new setup at home: The Old CRTs. The New LCDs. Yes, that is a third LCD (17″) which is hooked up to a KVM switch, to also be used with the MacMini, and any other systems that need work. Things about the new 20″s I… Continue reading Liquid Crystal Love, Cathode Ray Hate

Drives! Get Yer Pipin-Hot Drives!

Last night, I started going through my gear. Ronnie Numbers™ still has dibs on my 21″ monitors, but I will be looking to get get rid of this other stuff, and more. So, if you’re into legacy hardware (some funtional), or need the parts for some art project here is some of the stuff I’m… Continue reading Drives! Get Yer Pipin-Hot Drives!

Like MaBell, I got the Ill Communication

I was reading this article about how Bellsouth, my beloved and reliable provider of broadband access to my apartment, wants to charge companies extra for using their bandwidth. I must admit, I do not like where this is going, not one bit. Bill Smith, CTO at BellSouth suggested that Apple So, Computer might be asked… Continue reading Like MaBell, I got the Ill Communication

2 = 1

I’m _still_ sitting here in the ATL. Had two delayed flights. My lesson for today? A double shot/serving of Maker’s Mark everywhere else equal a single shot/serving in NOLA. *sigh*, at least I’ll be home in an hour or so.
