See, and here I would have assumed this was a prelude to a "...better go catch it!" joke.
It was actually a prelude to a lecture about how the starter on the starting side was broken. There were a lot of lectures today.

Dear Repair Dude,
If we all knew everything there was to know about A/C units, we wouldn't need you. You'd be unemployed and living in a van down by the river.

I'm not really here because I'm on a group pc while they do something to my unix account and my god is it a pain in the ass to adapt tasks done on a unix desktop to doing them on a pc. Especially since I don't use pcs much.
But I got to "feed" the jukeboxes today because I'm the only one here. It was very 2001. Um. In 2007. Um.
I also thankfully know how to delete cookies.

I just have to get the Avery business card blanks to print them out with, though -- and if I decide to change my design/text, I can do it in batches of ten.
Right now, in place of a company name, I have
application architecting * workflow designing * info managing * db wrangling
... which is either too precious or just enough to be accurate yet tantalizing in a sea of otherwise ordinary business cards given to prospective networkers, et cetera.
(Edited to add: it all fits on one line, across the width of the card....)

I watched a little bit of it last night. Apparently, Tuesday's stage was very, very exciting.

Nothing against ginormous, but I think that we're getting cavalier about adding new words to the dictionary. I mean, how long is "crunk" really going to be around? (and they seem to have defined it wrong, or at least left out a definition, in the article)? This is the kind of culture that makes "wrongheaded" an allegedly real word.

Michael Rasmussen has always looked like Skeletor.
If anyone doesn't want to be spoiled for the Tour: I can't believe Vinokourov fell. It's like someone put a curse on him.
