Broken rectangles. WTF. Don't like my kind? Maybe I should try a disguise? Is there a point in here somewhere? Are you really that stupid or do you just enjoy screwing around with people? Tired; very, very tired. There is no vacation. Free parking costs $7/hour. This isn't perfect because of something I did why not why not why not? Cheese seven. Tall crap. Smells like snacks. Probably denied too. Thank you. Water.
This morning I had a 7:00 appt with 3 other people. Which meant I had to get up at like 6:15. When I arrived, on time, there was only one person there. The guy who scheduled the fucking meeting showed up 45 min later. Grrrr. If you are going to make me get up too early, at least come and share the pain.
Tomorrow morning I have a 7:30 meeting. Grrrr. What are we going to talk about? I think I'll mention the fact that I'd rather be sleeping.
Mostly I hate getting up before the sun is even awake. It just seems wrong. The sun isn't up before seven:thirty, so who the hell am I to argue with the sun??
If I had to guess it looks like you need to floor it around in circles, doing donuts in the intersection(s) as you pass through.
Although I'm generally a big fan of roundabouts; I have to say this one looks a little daunting. The "magic roundabout", as it's called, looks to me like it was designed by someone high on magic mushrooms. You can read more about this roundabout and the city where it is found here: http://www.swindonweb.com/life/lifemagi0.htm
For MONTHS I have been irritated that I have been unable to use knotes (a utility providing memo pad or "post-it note"-like functionality in KDE.) It kept duplicating my entries many times over, giving me an enornous sea of extra notes, and consequently making it impossible to find anything. I tried blowing away the notes files themselves and the knotes config file (knotesrc) but nothing helped. Any new notes I created were heavily duplicated as soon as I quit a restarted knotes. (to be clear, they weren't actually duplicated in the notes.ics file, only in the display of notes from the knotes panel applet or the knotes viewer in kontact). I finally got so frustrated that I backed up my .kde directory and just started blowing away files and directories inside until I found a cure to the problem. At last I have solved this annoying problem.
After removing the following file, my knotes behavoir returned to normal
~/.kde/share/config/kresources/notes/stdrc
I'm not sure of the exact cause of the problem, but after testing with a new user with no prior .kde dir, I could not reproduce the problem; so I think it probably had to do with the huge quantity of notes I had retained since I started using knotes, and the fact that I have upgraded to newer versions of kde and knotes several times since.
In any case, I'm very happy to be able to use knotes again!
First up is someone who just can't keep their eating habits to themselves. They feel it necessary to share with other people. I think only in America would you see people advertising what they eat by paying ~$65/year to put it on their license plate!
Next was this idiotic sign seen at Sam's club. Oh boy, you mean to tell me that they truly, actually, seriously accept those hurricane survivor debit cards!?! WOW isn't that SWELL! The MASTERCARD logo on the card was obviously not enough to make it clear that they would use the card just about anywhere. I am sure there are LOADS of hurricane evacuees in Ohio, so posting the sign was necessary to communicate to hoards of people that their cards would be accepted. And I'm sure if you had one of those cards you would first load up three carts worth of merchandice and then proceed to the cash register to find out whether they accepted the card. Duh.
Finally, I spotted this intellectual in Beavercreek the other day. Dammit, Joe-Bob; we are gonna get this move done in one trip-- I don't care what it takes! If the sofa don't fit, then just put that sucker on-end!
Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately I couldn't stick around to watch.
Did you understand what the clue was about? It wasn't exactly mysterious.
We got a dog!
She is a 6 year old yellow lab, named Topper. (that's actually an abbreviation of her show name, something "Showstopper" I think) We just got her last night and she's very sweet and we love her already.
