Yeah! Whispering.
Why, oh why has whispering become the current fad? It used to be the "four companions saunter arrogantly in a line toward the camera" as if that were somehow all enlightening. I hate whispering.
It's major disrepect to the audience. Even in a movie theater with the volume causing the paint to peel from the walls you can't understand the whispering. I believe that when an actor can't act, he/she resorts to whispering. Similar to the trend for singers who can't sing resorting to wavering around a note as if it added class to a classless song. It's an A-sharp, don't dance around it. Sing it damn it.
Snow has stopped falling, now it's sleetish rain and the temperature has risen to 40F. But winterish thoughts are brought forth. I dug around in my kitchen cupboards and found a chocolate cake mix that was only 4 months past its "best by" date. House now smells like chocolate cake! Yum. Also, it's time to put cocoa on my shopping list. Nothing like hot cocoa and hot oatmeal for breakfast on a cold, blustery, snowed-in winter day.
...had a dream last night that it snowed where I was.
Woke up to grey skies and drizzle.
Mr Scott was in a next generation episode. they gave him a shuttlecraft. is he still shuttling around the galaxy?
Morning. South breeze lile an invisible hand stirring treetop and bright coloured banners left over from yesterdays marathon ironically exhorting glued together traffic you can make it if you really try :)
Been snowing and raining off and on all day. I'm definitely not ready for this crap weather.
spring rains haven't come this year so far, everything is getting bone dry
someone haz to panic about the warp drive ! :)
We skipped fall and went into winter it seems. We shouldn't be getting snow till the very end of the month or beginning of Nov.
we haz pwnd all the sun so far this month :)
Shouldn't a shuttle have a weft drive?
Perhaps, but would flying carpets then have a pile drive?
No you don't, you just need to clear this one directory from crap... or reboot/restart explorer.exe http://superuser.com/questions/601811/i-have-updates-to-install-but-i-cant-see-them-in-the-select-the-updates-to-ins and http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-update-not-working
...hit the wrong button Oscar Mike Golf ! :)
...hmm, nobody answered my question about Win Server 2008 R2. Would love to suport 512 GB memory without having to deal with the Win 8 UI.
Of course.
"May those who love us love us;
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts:
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping."
cheers Mr Scott - for all the warp 8s you saved the day in episodes - 'oh me poor bairn'
cheers Dr McCoy - for all those extra occupations - 'i'm a doctor not a bricklayer'
cheers Mr Spock - sobchoke
cheers Ambassador Sarek - 'at the time seemed the logical thing to do'
Complaint: 57 messages to read first thing on a Monday morning!!
I ran out of coffee, for Heavens sake!! *cry*
Bleach, need to shop for groceries on the way home, need lunch makings.
Got a talk with a headhunter tomorrow afternoon about a job in Chandler, AZ. - working for a semiconductor manufacturer to support their products, basically writing drivers, application notes, things to make other engineers want to use their chips. Sounds fun!
More cooooooooooooooffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeee...
Gooooooooooood morning!
Complaint: This is the time of year (Oct/Nov/Dec) that us old folks in the US have the opportunity to change our government sponsored health insurance plans. I have assembled my recently received documents from Medicare, and my healthcare company. Both are books the size of a moderate city's telephone book, and have examined them. I've gone to the Medicare website and the healthcare company website and used their apps to help me decide which plan is best for me. I've spent days perusing the options and plans, costs and coverages and assessing my risk of disasterous health problems in the coming year. I've come to the conclusion that it's all an extremely well designed (read that as totally baffleing) shell game where the player will lose no matter which option he chooses unless he gets struck down by some unforseen calamity and has fortuitously applied more money than he could afford to into additional insurance premiums.
Medicare is good, it pays a lot of the costs but doesn't cover everything so you are almost forced to buy additional insurance or alternative insurance with some of the cost of those premiums covered by Medicare. The additional or alternative coverages do pay for some of the copays and coinsurances and deductions and other gobbledy-gook words but once you start comparing the various plans they're just pushing money from one bin to another extracting some into their pocket each time they give you more service but hoping you won't notice. To get full protection from disasterous medical problems you end up paying through the nose.
Bah Humbug!
Well, lets face it...the insurance business is actually the protection racket, made legal.

Grocery list: instant coffee, dry creamer, hot dogs, canned salmon, canned tuna, dill, lemon juice, pita/flatbread, popcorn for football.
Friday I'll buy a bottle of the cheap $20 vodka and more popcorn.
Two more weeks of work, three more paychecks, and that's it.
But I'll have over a months worth of living expenses, and at the rate I'm getting interviews, it shouldn't be an issue.
Write, write writeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
...and in some cases like driving a car or having health coverage, made a requirement.
...wow the Phoenix metro area. Be prepared for really hot hot hot weather.
Having lived here for the better part of seventeen years, it's as bad as it sounds. The cost of living is pretty good, and I pay for AC what you pay in NYC for heat. You quickly get used to 110 F, and we spend few days over that. Now is the time to move here. You'll have 3-4 months of very nice weather; then you will gradually get warmer. Though, you will marvel at us aclimated Phoenicians... we wear winter coats when it's 60 F.
I remember Phoenix. I'd ridden motorcycle from California to Flagstaff, Arizona in September of '95. Stayed in a motel. Woke up the next morning and there was snow on the ground. Rode my motorcycle down off the plateau into Phoenix and the temperature kept going up. That afternoon, in Phoenix I was sweltering in my leathers in 110F temperature.
I went to Scottsdale High School for my first high school... I know what the heat is like..
But work is work.. 
Cripes, just got a call from one headhunter, folks in Sheboygan want to talk to me in 1/2 an hour about.. something.
No job description, just "They really want to talk to you right away"..
There's SOME mass transit in the area, so it's not an immediate reject.. but.. wth do they want to talk to me ABOUT?? 
Well, better lots of activity than dead air.
From the time I get off at night till I come back on it the morning I usually have anywhere from 3-5 pages to read in this thread. It has to be the msot active thread on the forums.
I am in a foul mood thanks to my roommate's demand to keep the fan off.
