OTOH, Barr was a total dickwad.
A dickwad with poor grammar.
I would be there right now.

My favorite part, actually, were his chats with his coder.
The programmer keeps saying, in essence, "I know you think you've got the tiger by the tail, but you don't understand the very important, very basic concept of small sample size as it applies to statistical analysis. You are completely full of bullshit and there's no way I'm going to put that shit on my computer because those guys will take me out."

I did my onerous task for the day: calling a meeting space to get availability and price quote. I hate phone work, so getting that done has left me feeling all virtuous. Now, it's time to go to my Access class, which is my reward. Yay!

My onerous task today is laundry, but I haven't done it yet. OTOH, I did make a tuna casserole for dinner, so maybe I'll just count that...
(No seriously, I *have* to do laundry. My clothes can be picked out of the laundry basket and worn again dirty. Aeryn's diapers, nsm.)

Punishingly Intricate
The Vice President, Omar Suleiman, might be an even worse dictator that Mubarak.
Friends of friends in Egypt are hearing he will cede to the military not to the VP. Seems all very confusing at the moment.

Onerous task: deposited $531 in the bank, much in small bills and change (hello, Girl Scout cookies.)

The VP is head of the inteligence servcies (can't remember what they're called), so yeah, kind of scary. Very strong US ties. But the position itself was just created in the last weeks and my understanding is that there is nothing that says he sucedes the president should he step down.
Frankly, ceding to the military would scare me less. So far anyway.

Oh yes! And the whole exchange where he can't back up his gut feelings with any stats.

One thing Barr vs Anonymous shows is that someone who uses LOL should never get in a pissing contest with a badass hacker.
I'm trying to work my way up to onerousity.
