Firefox Testimonial Video
eudyptes sent me to Firefox Flicks, where users can submit video testimonials for Firefox. The weekly winners get $50 Amazon gift certificates and Mozilla schwag, and the grand prize winner gets $500 from Amazon. So I made a long and fancy video testimonial, complete with subtitles, only to find out that Firefox Flicks insists that … Continue reading
Everybody Shut Up
I am finally fed up enough with the usual Friday chattering and slacking at work that I have turned on Launchcast to try to tune them out. Music is not a major part of my life, so I almost never do this; I also have it incredibly low – I almost can’t hear it when … Continue reading
Kick the Internet
My net access has sucked all day at work. When I got here it wasn’t running at all – the DNS was down, something I deduced myself by successfully reaching imdb.com and a couple of other places but not getting anywhere useful. I was also able to ssh, so I got to use Lynx and … Continue reading

I was helping my brother-in-law register a domain … Continue reading

Google Touches Itself
I found the very interesting (but rather incomplete) Google Hacks page, and the Google Talk hack looked like fun: “Ever wondered what Google would say if it could talk? Wonder no more. Enter three or four words and Google will finish your thoughts by searching for what comes next after these words.” So I went … Continue reading
Hi! You’re Still On-List!
Bwahahaha. This happens every day around the world, but rarely do I get to see it. This was on a mailing list from the linguistics department at George Mason University. From: So-and-SoSubject:Subject: Master’s/Doctoral Student or Prof needed to share townhouseI need a second person to share a townhouse in Herndon. This is a 3 level … Continue reading
