Random stupidity

Overheard in the cafeteria this morning a woman complaining to her friend about getting ‘bad’ haircuts. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to get a stylist to give you a ‘good’ girl mullet. ROFL

Vista Ultimate Upgrade Experience

'Puter Tips, Tricks & Fixes
By Dae on Sep 1, 2008 | In 'Puter Tips, Tricks & Fixes | Send feedback »

I guess Microsoft wants users to be so eager to use Vista that they expect you to break open the packaging. I tried to figure out the proper way to open it but after 10 minutes I said fuck it and broke it. :yeahright:

During install it tells you the process may take several hours. I dunno about a fresh install but my upgrade took 12 hours and only maybe half of that was due to lock ups. I did the upgrade Saturday. Matt said at one point in the upgrade, while I was sleeping, my security suite said I had a trojan. Must have been something in Vista that set it off.

Sunday night I turned on my laptop again and it went through Stage 3 of 3 again. When it finally booted I decided to check out the Media Center to see what it was about. Well that locked up and I had to hard reboot. I’m afraid to try it again. Then after the recommended updates finished there were only 47 more optional updates. I skipped those since I wanted to actually USE the laptop this weekend.

Monday night: On startup the laptop went through Setting up personalized settings…again. :sigh:

Firefox three is loading faster at least. That’s a positive right??? If something else in the way of improvements manifests I’ll be sure to post about it.

I expected to be dazzled, awestruck and apologetic for all the negative things I’ve said about Vista. Two days later I am none of the above and I stand by my earlier opinion of Vista.

Rip the knob off!

When I got my Sirius satellite radio I always said I was going to rip the knob off my FM radio and send it to the FCC. The broken off knob would be symbolic of my feelings about shitty FM radio and the FCCs censorship. As a devoted fan of Sirius I will never listen to FM radio in one of my vehicles ever again. I only listen to it in other vehicles if it’s someone who won’t let me bring my Sirius with me to their car. Obviously I didn’t really want to break my knob off because at times I needed to change the station to tune in my FM receiver. Now I have an FM modulator that blocks all the outside FM stations so they never, never, EVER bleed through over my Sirius. So really I have no reason to ever change the station again. I would like to be cool and say that I really did rip the knob off and mail it in but in reality I just hit it with my travel mug and it broke off. :whistle: My poor little car is beginning to show it’s age. But next October I will have owned it 10 years…which is my goal.

You should be a better driver

Doesn’t it stand to reason that if you are driving an ambulance you should be a safe & courteous driver and observe the most basic rules of the road? I’m talking about an ambulance that is not en route to an accident or hospital but simply driving with no lights or siren. This morning I watched the driver below blatantly cut off the car in front of me in rush hour traffic. Half way across the white line he decided to turn on his blinker. The driver he cut off had to stand on his brakes to keep from getting clipped the ambulance.

A simple bit of wisdom:

On a semi I saw a bumper sticker that said, “A blinker is not a request.” Unfortunately not everyone sees it that way. If someone has their blinker on or if I have my blinker on it means that I’m changing lanes and you damn well better move and let me change lanes cuz you don’t own the fucking road. As long as anyone else in traffic uses their blinker, I always make room for them to change lanes. If you cut me off, well that’s a different story. And if you are one of those bastards who thinks they are too important to wait in line so you cut to the front of the line…well hell will freeze over before I let you cut in front of me.

A testament of ignorance:

Written in the dirt on the back of a semi: “Obama is a commie gun grabber". If you have a message to spread is this really the best method for getting it out there? I suppose both the chosen medium and the message both speak volumes about the intelligence level of the messenger.

Flowberry theme for Blackberry Pearl

I saw this new theme on GeekSugar? and knew I had to get it before I knew anything about it besides it’s purple. 6.99 later I am a happy geekstress. This theme is so slick and aesthetically pleasing to the geek in me. I believe it’s supposed to mimic the iPhone but since I don’t own and iPhone I can’t verify that. It reminds me of PICLENS the way it swoops back and forth. The OCD side of me that finds it absolutely necessary to fill my environment with all things purple finds a strange happy thrill in just looking at the pretty purple background.

Vandalism and Liza

Ponderings
By Dae on Aug 28, 2008 | In General, Ponderings | Send feedback »

Why is it when I see a Jaguar I feel an almost uncontrollable urge to break the hood ornament off? I have no malice or particular dislike for Jags or their owners. I just feel compelled to hold that cold, heavy ornament in my hand.

Why is the billboard for Liza Minelli’s upcoming show portraying her to be 30 years younger and 100lbs lighter? If you go to that show expecting to see the woman on the billboard you are in for a hell of a shock. ROFL

    Do higher gas prices mean you exercise more than normal by walking or biking instead of driving?
