  1. I have been poking around with Plesk for about an hour now and I am completely stumped as to why anyone uses this trash.
  2. Looks like Brad Anderson's "The Vanishing on 7th Street" may become reality in Detroit. bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-2…
  3. Oh! This one's grand. We've got a customer who wants to do spatial analysis with our software. What formats are their maps in? Paper.
  4. Not to mention the fact that none of us have computer speakers, so if we're not looking at our screens, we don't know a call is coming in.
  5. Maybe switching to Skype for our company phones was a bad idea. Now every call I overhear is preceded by 5 mins of "Can you hear me? Hello?"
  6. I see the FL Everblades finally won the ECHL Kelly Cup for the 1st time. All those weekends of preempting Star Trek on UPN finally paid off.
  7. Maybe now building management will respond to the fixture issues we've been reporting since eight months ago.
  8. Months of abuse and neglect of the fixtures in the 2nd floor restroom have finally resulted in the whole thing being labeled "out of order".
  9. GTO hit the magic 20,000 miles...6 years later! twitter.com/Chief_Oddball/…
  10. @Poochkins Yep. You play tested episode one for me, I know that for a fact because your name's in the credits. :)
  11. @Poochkins Yes indeed. I finally released the second episode of that set I was working on and got halfway through episode three.
  12. @Poochkins Nice. I hadn't touched the game in a while since I was in a Wolf3D mood, but got back to it last night. This makes me want more.
  13. @Poochkins Freaking nice! Did you get it on your first run thru The Missing Link? If so, it must've made getting "All of the Above" a bitch.
  14. If it's 31 when I leave the office tonight, the shop's getting a call.
  15. All I know is the tire was at 33 lbs last night and 32 this morning. I raised it back up to 33 before leaving for work. Now it's 32 again.
  16. Might have a slow leak in one of my new tires...but the janky valve stem wastes so much air every time you check it, it's hard to say...
  17. So the Twitter timeline is filled with detritus like "I'm watching the Smurfs (150 others checked in)" over and over. Such total stupidity.
  18. And the thing is, it wouldn't even be so bad if you actually composed the tweet yourself, but you can't even do that. It's auto-generated.
  19. "Checking in" to announce on social networks that you're watching TV is one of the dumbest trends I've seen yet.
