So, we pissed off the Patriots – now they’re going to win the super bowl. And why not? They just crushed the Chargers – one of the two teams expected to take down the Patriots juggernaut (the other being the Colts). Well, at least they have motivation again, right? “Us against the world” – that, [...]
So, I learned a few more things poking around XP. Turns out it wasn’t XP’s fault for screwing with Word 97 – it was basically back before the times of Win2K, there was no concept of limited user accounts (which was really a stupid decision on MS’s part). In any event, I learned that if [...]
So what about them Patriots? Videotaping signals and such? Now all their Super Bowl victories are going to have an asterisk next to them. It’s their own fault, naturally. Sheldon Brown has a point, you know. And why wasn’t Eric Mangini (Jets coach) not saying anything? Because he was a coach for the Patriots before, [...]
There’s a rule that if I don’t use a gadget or computer for a year, I have to get rid of it. I got an extension from Leesie (circumstances – moving; baby and house are more important, etc.) but I want to establish that I have a plan. This excludes Lisa’s and my laptops obviously. [...]
I don’t understand why this feature was not put into XP Home – there is no ‘power users’ group. Let me explain. In XP Home, there’s only limited users (they have a sandbox of their desktop and my documents, but nothing else) and Administrators (want to delete ntldr? done!). XP Pro has several items in [...]
It’s time for some fearless prognosticating! 1. Eagles lost last night. I watched all of ten minutes of the game, and knew they were going to lose. Why? Brett Favre has never lost to a team five times in a row… except to the Eagles. Strange stat, but you knew Favre was hell bent not [...]
No, I’m no longer bitter. I just needed a day and a purposefully vague blog entry to get over it… until the next time it comes up, naturally. It seems to be every few years. Blech. It’s pretty amazing what sleep and not being sick can do for one’s mental health. The biggest thing accomplished [...]
Have something you’ve yet to let go? Nagging slight from the past that rears its ugly head every few years? Embittered by these years of not having it addressed? Yeah, me neither. No, seriously, what do you do? How do you shake it? Worse still, Nora hasn’t been sleeping lately so I’m now having some [...]
But it sure feels like Monday. Though, the fact that tomorrow is Wednesday boggles the mind. Mondays off are great. First Thing… if you’re in New York, listen to 106.7. I hate the radio, but by chance I was stuck with only that on a car ride to JFK (the RF Modulator quit working in [...]
I will readily admit that I’m awful at videogames. It took four months of on and off (mostly off) playing, but I finished Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It started out not as enjoyable as previous iterations (if you recall, I really enjoyed Pandora Tomorrow) but ended on a very strong note. What I don’t get [...]
