Geeks gone wild
I want one of the shirts that says: "There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't"

It is necessary to post this here. So that people can know that I am aware, but continue to post anyhow.
Stop the Blogging Madness

Something to brighten telemarketers day:
Newsflash: Call Centers Moving to India
Now we get to look forward to getting calls soliciting stuff, in British accented broken-English (but I guess if it is a script they could get really good at reading it).

OK. The broken-English thing was not warranted. I mean, they probably speak better English than most Americans - could that be a tip off? My question is, when asked directly where they are - do they have to answer honestly? Or can they lie? Also, what are the implications as far as the National Do Not Call list? Does that apply, since this would be an international call - and they are in India? Humn.

Giggle and snort
It is turning into a day of funny stuff. I know some people may not find the above funny...but I do - and surely others will as well. Like anyone actually reads this blog. ~snort
Never mind - apparently that link has gone into the archives now - forcing a log-in. Sorry about that. It was an article about how France was protecting its businesses with government money and stuff - while protesting other EU countries doing the same (or something along those lines).

ROTFLMAO in Hysterics

And you people who are afraid to click on a link I guess you will just miss out on the humor.

A senior French health official resigned Monday after the health minister acknowledged that as many as 5,000 people might have died in a blistering heat wave.

Apparently healthcare people went on vacation, leaving the hospitals understaffed. I guess they didn't get "Drink Water!" out over the airwaves.
And here I was making fun of a radio news interviewer who asked a woman what she did when running in the park when it is hot (the answer was - "If I get dizzy I walk."). I guess there are some people who just don't know.

Do they not have air conditioning in France?

I'm sure you have all been wondering why I haven't posted to my blog (you my oh-so loyal readers).
My DSL at home went down :( on Monday. This was a horrible thing. Why, you may wonder did it take so long for me to get it fixed? Because my home phone line hasn't been working for about two months now (gasp!). I use my cell phone for calling people I want to talk to, and have my home line for the DSL pretty much. But I was damned if I was going to call SBC tech support on my cell phone. So, I had to call and get my home line fixed first (which happened yesterday). Once I called DSL support (after assuring the tech that I'd patched that little MS problem right after they released the tech bulletin) we went through some steps. It was discovered that I had lost my primary DNS information, and my NIC had been disabled :(. I don't know what is up with the NIC, but now that I know what to look for....well I'll handle it. There is still some fishy stuff going on when I connect to the internet (I only connect when I'm doing stuff online which means I connect and disconnect quite frequently) like the Dial up form pops up *after* I've connected through the network connection. I'll deal with it though. And, as to the last question, why am I posting from work - and couldn't I have posted from work at some point in this week, so as to keep you entertained? Well, I'm posting from work because I wanted to get this in before I forgot - and I try to not post from work (usually), even if this is linked on our website.

Extortion:
The SCO Group Inc. moved forward Tuesday with its plans to offer Linux users protection against a lawsuit by making available a license that gives them the rights to run the open-source operating system.

protection
I'm not sure why the whole SCO v. Linux thing interests me so much. I don't use linux - or unix, or anything except MS products.
Here are a couple of interesting resources for those of you who are interested in the suit(s).

The more I use blogger the less I like the service. If I want to blog, I guess I'm going to have to have to pay for it somewhere or get a server and install moveable type and all that jazz. *sigh*

If you readme and you know it, send me an e-mail: prometheusad@hotmail.com
And when I move, I'll let you know (yeah, like anyone reads my blog ~snicker)

The cat's name may be : gizmo.
I'm leaning towards Bruce personally.
