Awesome, thanks! I will read up on it a lot.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

For those of you who miss BBS days... a Google search via simulated BBS, with cool sounds and everything: [link]
I recommend the "search" function rather than the "lucky", as the lucky just takes you to the page, rather than letting you experience the read out of search hits.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I no longer have that version of Windows, but can you go to the picture file, right-click, and choose "set as desktop background" as an option?
That worked! I am still baffled - when I tried it before, I didn't have that option.
Thank you, megan walker, you've saved me from the embarrassment of having my Editor in Chief see a saucy Benedict on my desktop. (If he'd asked me if that was my boyfriend, I was totally gonna say yes.)

We don't want another "spik-el-oost" situation!
In other positive tech news, not only will dropping cable save me $50+/month over the next year (even with upgrading my DSL, switching to Netflix streaming with 1DVD, and adding HuluPlus), but it turns out by not using the cable box I can finally watch 1 channel while taping another.
ETA: spik-el-oost x-post!

I do! Sometimes just for fun I say "spik-el-oost" and LAUGH.

Hee. When I started at my last company, I was still very amused by that, and somehow ended up using "pikelust" (minus the S??) with a number on the end as one of my passwords.
Turned out that was the one password you couldn't change (most made us change every 90 days). I had it for four whole years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MacBook Pro fragrance reproduces the scent of an Apple unboxing
Never in a million years would I have thought someone would want to bottle up the "scent" of a MacBook Pro unboxed. Sure enough, three Australian artists have recreated a fragrance that replicates a fresh MacBook Pro being opened.

Dude, I just installed Wordpress all by myself, with only one mistake. (Yes, it's easy, shut up.)
Go me!
