"Get laid tonight at www.doing---thing. com oops delete space before com HIDP"

That is a copy and paste from a spam I just got. "oops delete space before com" C'mon spammer. Take some pride in what you put out in the world. (dashs added to avoid promoting the spammers site)

I couldn't resist this fantastic commercial. Ordered a "Pipe Camp" t-shirt and a shirt not featured in the ad, "Cock-O-Block". Damn, should've ordered on Tuesday to get free shipping. Wait a minute, that free shipping only applies if you order a "Rats Off to You", or "Hats Off to You" shirt on Tuesday between 9 and 10pm pacific time.

Some fuckwad (Mr. T----e) called my mom about a note he has that she has to sign off on before he can claim it as his own and it relates to me somehow... Whatever it is belongs to me. If you found my mom you can find me Mr. T----e. You scare me kinda, I don't recall ever giving out my mom's cell number on a form or website. Are you trying to steal my identity Mr. T----e? Glenn?

Took most of the day to wipe the new drive and install the os, and then transfer shit from my iBook. Typing this on the MacBook. iBook is going up for sale as soon as I get the keys fixed.

Got my MacBook back today. Guess what? It has a bigger drive than it did before. The new one is a Toshiba, must be an 80 gig. When I turned the MacBook on it saw my wireless router, thought I had broadcast turned off...uh oh, somebody might be stealing my internet, if they can crack my WEP key, and clone one of my MAC addresses.

Anyway, the dude at the Apple repair shop said they could install the missing keys on my iBook for only 5 bucks, since I already bought them myself.

So many frequently asked questions about the Insight/Software Spectrum Merger. Glad I don't work for Software Spectrum anymore, (lasted around a month, didn't do sales, did support, didn't officially work for Software Spectrum or Microsoft Games, was a temp, quit because I was expected to support games I had no access to and the training wasn't sufficient in terms of online games, AND I hate call center jobs) when I see the terms GSA or LAR my stomach turns.

However I am glad that I may have access to the very generous employee purchase program that Insight offers to it's employees. They sell pretty much anything a geek would need for their computer. Oh, and maybe Apple stuff too... I'd be willing to bet that employee discounts don't apply to Apple products. I'll find out.

Dropped my MacBook off at an authorized Apple repair place today. Fucker won't boot from the internal drive, system can't see the hard drive anymore, Disk Utility can't see it, hard disk is dead. I suppose I could've tried a Knoppix (or Ubuntu) live cd, but I'm lazy and there wasn't much on the hard drive I would want to save. Beauty of the story for me is that it's still under warranty and won't cost me a dime for the new drive, hopefully Apple no longer offers the size drive I had and I'll get a bigger one at no charge. Crossing my fingers...

I seem to have a problem with my MacBook if I leave it sleeping and the battery goes dead. Right now it want's to boot into non-activated Windows, need a serial number to continue. Really don't want to have to rescue or reinstall OSX again. Gonna let the battery charge up and see what happens when I boot. typing this on my Mini Itx system, see, nephew, I do use it!

I don't know what happened, click, click, click, I just bought a cd off lala.com. When did they add that feature? I think I got a good deal, probably used. Can't resist "The Unicorns". WTF!!! It's a website about trading music, now they are selling music? I'm confused, I need Billy to email me and explain what's going on.

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

iPhone glass replacement kit showed up today. The glass in the kit was broken. Shoot.

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
