12Mbps

Sorry about not posting for so long. Between work, WarCraft III, anime, TV series, and trying to catch some sleep, you can see where my blog priority lies.

Got a postcard from Comcast awhile back and they’ve bumped me to 12Mbps. Speed tests show a download rate of 8,000-10,000Kbps and a upload rate of 750-850Kbps. Pretty sweet!


Random Crap:

What FuzzyWuzzy has to go through in between seasons of the L word:

<zuFeht> damn i’m so addicted to l word again ><
<Krunk> haha
<pantsumimi> i love lesbians too
<Krunk> were you ever not addicted?
<Krunk> after you started watching of course
<pantsumimi> fuzzo was not addicted between seasons
<pantsumimi> when there was nothing to be addicted to
<pantsumimi> except re-runs
<pantsumimi> I never really got that show
<pantsumimi> I only remember one episode where some woman’s mother came over when they were fucking
<pantsumimi> and the vibrator wouldn’t turn off
<pantsumimi> so she put it in a small pot and told her mother it was a cactus
<Krunk> haha
<Krunk> so after every season
<Krunk> fuzzy goes cold turkey
<pantsumimi> lol, no choice really =P
<Krunk> thinks he’s off
<Krunk> but then immediately gets hooked on once the next season starts
<pantsumimi> i don’t think it’s cold turkey
<pantsumimi> i think it’s more like a period of forced withdrawal
<Krunk> ah
<Krunk> no more supply
<pantsumimi> yeah i can see it now
<Krunk> just pure demand
<pantsumimi> fuzzo is hugging his knees in the corner
<pantsumimi> shivering
<pantsumimi> mumbling about lesbians
<Krunk> sucking his thumb
<zuFeht> haha
<pantsumimi> yeah all that shizzaz
<zuFeht> totally
<zuFeht> i’m watching reruns ><
<zuFeht> new season should start in jan or feb

My Résumé (from MS newsgroup):

  1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. I couldn’t concentrate.
  2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe.
  3. After that, I tried to be a Tailor, but I just wasn’t suited for it — mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
  4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.
  5. Then, I tried to be a Chef – figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn’t have the thyme.
  6. I attempted to be a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it I couldn’t cut the mustard.
  7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually I found I wasn’t noteworthy.
  8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but I didn’t have any patience.
  9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. I tried but I just didn’t fit in.
  10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered that I couldn’t live on my net income.
  11. I managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining.
  12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job.
  13. After many years of trying to find steady work! I finally got a job as a Historian – until I realized there was no future in it.
  14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.
  15. SO, I TRIED RETIREMENT AND FOUND THAT I’M PERFECT FOR THE JOB. Man do I enjoy it !!!!

Some guy on the MS newsgroup was asking for advice on how to repel rabbits. Besides the regular advice, a funny conversation started:

Tobasco sauce. Just a little bit on the leaves. Works like a charm.

I had put pepper spray on my roses when rabbits used to eat them and it works great. They don’t come back ever.

How about just put out a bowl of rabbit food nearby? They will eat that and leave your plants alone.

Then you end up with friends for life.

OK Go – Here It Goes Again (from MS newsgroup) – a pretty neat music video which involves 8 treadmills. It doesn’t seem like the official music video, but the choreography was pretty neat. I like how they made it look like they were skiing.

MIT Sketching – RayAlome first showed me this video of this neat physics sketching software a week ago or so. It’s actually pretty neat. For more information, you might want to read about it on MIT’s website: Magic Paper. There was a email at work spreading around stating this was Microsoft Physics Illustrator (download / source code). It seems like this was a joint project between MSR and MIT.

big cups
For the last departmental picnic, management had decided that, due to liability issues, we could have alcohol, but only one (1) drink per person. I was fired for ordering the cups. (from MS Newsgroup)

Unnessary Censorship (from MS newsgroup) – One Year of Unnessary Censorship by the Jimmy Kemmel show.

Huge BUG found in Google Maps (from MS newsgroup)

peter callesen (from MS newsgroup) – I think I had actually saw this elsewhere, but I don’t remember. The papercut art is just amazing. Sometimes the cutout portions are like shadows, other times, they actually resemble things. They’re actually really pretty.
