Performancing for Firefox

Performancing for Firefox is a full featured blog editor that sits right within Firefox, & man is it great!
Easy to use, connects with most blog software. Maybe even better than the Blog This extension, though that's a fine one, too.

A Disaster Averted

I was heading to make some tea for the afternoon, & at the last minute realized that I had decaf in my hand!
Oh, the humanity? .

I'm shocked!

The French have been voted the world's most unfriendly nation by a landslide in a new British poll... . They were also voted the most boring and most ungenerous.

Breaking News!

Someone in the office actually asked me how to use Exchange to set up a meeting with multiple induhviduals using the scheduling functionality!

And it only took three years for someone besides myself to use this gem of a tool!

Not Your Average Bear

DNA Tests Confirm Bear Was a Hybrid.
And like most hybrids, it gets higher MPS - miles per salmon - stopping & starting in the forest than going wide open in on the ice pack!

What a Mama's Boy!

Karate mum saves son from bullies

Garlic, eh?

I might have to give that a try... .

But Were They Right?

Filipino judge sacked for consulting trio of mystic dwarves.

Bureaucracy in Motion

In my office I have four computers that run all the time. And as computers are wont to do, they get pretty stinkin' hot, especially that Dell small form factor that does most of my work (and by work I mean surfing the net).
Two of the big towers sit on the floor under my desk, so I figured it would be a good idea to buy a smallish floor fan to cool them off. I found one in the office supply catalog, & asked our secretary to see about getting it for me.
Today she told me that it was a restricted item, since we have air conditioning in the office!

However, when I put a quote through for the $250 liquid cooling tower to attach to just one computer, the request went right through! So they'd rather spend $250 a pop to cool each machine, than to spend $50 for a fan that will do the whole job... .

And people wonder why the state budget always has trouble??

A Day Without Immigrants...

So today is the day that immigrant rights groups are calling for a boycott... . I'm not sure if I should take part in it, though.
See, my family immigrated in 1695 (or so), but I'm just not sure the country appreciates all of my hard work!
