Real Real Real
Car is washed, coffee is purchased, plans are set. We're about to head out to Golden Gate Park to let Sprocket run around a fenced area. It'll be his first taste of “puppy freedom” since he left Iowa a few months ago. Gretchen just got a note from a subscriber RE: his barfing. Could be [...]
We Made Two Bucks
Dear Name, Happy New Year 2002 to you! Thank you for the great partnerships we have forged. In just one month since the launch of our program together we generated over USD 28,400 in sales with our relationships. We proudly paid thousands of dollars in commissions to you our valued partners! Thank you for helping [...]
Yatta Yatta
I'm trying to develop an anthology of writing on weblogs and would like to include your Libera Manifesto. The book will be published by Perseus Publishing, member of the Perseus Books Group in the Spring of 2002. Approximately 10,000 copies will be printed. Full credit will be given for the reprinted material. Well, isn't that [...]
Fishy Planets
Why the hell is Gretchen asking me how I put on the toilet paper roll? It's supposed to face out (so it spins better). Anyway, we went down into the Sunset tonight. It was a nice jaunt on the N Judah. Didn't take too long (didn't smell too bad). We went to some sushi place [...]
Insecure Subscriber
Just about unsubscribe from all of your newsletters. The sidebar picture in your 1/18/02 Windows Daily is not appropriate. A quick glance would indicate your are giving the “finger” to your readers. Not something that I would like to be associated with. However, a closer view indicates that while close, the finger is not the [...]
Whereis Wife
Does anybody know where Gretchen is? She said she was going to the store a little while ago, but I didn't think she'd be gone this long. She was talking about going out to dinner with another couple, but I have yet to hear of any details. She kept saying that she had some kind [...]
Another True Error
Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP: (January 18, 2001 update) The PowerToys download is currently unavailable. Please check back on January 31, 2001 for the updated version of this download. And how do you propose we do that? With the latest beta of Microsoft TimeMachine? I don't think so. Crank up the Huey Luis, looks like [...]
True Error
Your password must be at least 18,770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30,689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes. Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1. You're telling me that it [...]
Shoulder Bicep Elbow Arm
Friday is here! Yay! I'll be heading into work in a few minutes, but before I did, I wanted to pose a question to the community: why do you use CD-RW drives / discs? That's what our “classroom” is going to be about today, and I wanted to make sure we were on the mark. [...]
Gnome's Gnightmare
Am I the only person who yells at his TV when the host of a show isn't doing something correctly? Yeah, there's this high-pitched dork on TechTV who is more interested in cracking stupid jokes than he is on delivering the correct information. The way he explained Moore's Law today was atrocious. I don't think [...]
Those Are Cheerios
Family Guy is on tonight. I better remember.
Crucial RAM Warning
Hello, in preparation of the possible DRAM market upturn. I have been asked to contact my key buyers and ask if you have a forecast for memory modules over the next three months? If not then do you see a increase in demand or need for any specific Modules within your division. It is very [...]
HomeSite Review
For someone who appreciates the control you have over your pages by knowing HTML code, I've always relied on a text HTML editor (usually Homesite), even when the company standard went to Macromedia Dreamweaver, a WYSIWYG editor. For several years at Principal, Homesite was the best option for those of us who preferred working with [...]
License To Kill
What is it with women drivers in San Francisco? At the risk of sounding completely sexist, I have to say that 99% of every stupid move I've seen on the road out here has been committed by some person of the female persuasion. This morning, no further than fifty feet from the loft, some Asian [...]
Meeting Thoughts
Dirty laptop off the top. Then, we're going to tell everyone how they can skin the Windows XP logon screen. And what's the difference between an external and internal hard drive? Firewire versus USB. We're getting crazy with the Cheese Whiz. Lightning round today – possibly with an introductory sound this time around. If you're [...]
