And now we achieve our first broadband outage. It figures. That honeymoon lasted 12 hours. Thanks, SWCP! My notebook says it signs in fine to the wireless net, gets a good connection and a strong signal. But no Web and no email. And of course I notice the problem right after 10 PM … when their office closes. *Sigh* [...] Sorry I’ve been out of touch. I’ve enjoyed juggling a sick car and a sick me while trying to catch up on various writing deadlines. I’m at last in the process of tying off the loose writing ends (the car seems to’ve been restored to health, if expensively; I’m still on the dicey side) and [...] Amazon.com does something smart! Not that that’s a huge surprise… As I mentioned in an earlier post, I really want this utterly swell “I Still Want My Flying Car” t-shirt. As well, of course, as my damn flying car. Not pictured: a flying car I can actually buy Having a fairly reasonable appreciation of which I’m [...] Giving him a blow job, evidently. Gadfly UK nerdsite The Register (whose motto is, “Biting the hand that feeds IT”) er, blows the whistle on a Microsoft service that allows – or allowed – kids to chat online with an AI Santa Claus. The problem arose when, in a chat with the 11 and 13 year old [...] Here’s a little something for the woman or man who really … does … have everything. It’d also make an ideal stocking stuffer to ensure those tiny tots have more than just their eyes aglow. Thanks and a tip of the MOPP-4 lid to Radley Balko’s invaluable The Agitator blog. Let them know it’s Christmas! [...] The last few days, just to make life interesting, my notebook computer’s been acting up. Either there’s something funky inside the box or the multi-tip Kensington power supply Circuitous City sold me last month when my existing power supply went Tango Uniform, doesn’t quite fit the socket. What’s been happening is, the power keeps flickering. [...] First off, I apologize for falling behind, here. Things have gotten a bit on top of me the last month or so. Or correctly: I’ve let things get on top of me. Ah, well. We live, and sometimes we learn, as a very wise person once said. (Scrooge McDuck, if I recall correctly.) One factor, I admit, [...] Specifically, I salute music label EMI for firing a much-deserved 9mm bullet into the back of the head of the monster known as DRM. Digital rights management – DRM – has never been about protecting the rights of creators. If by creators we mean the artists and authors and filmmakers who actually produce the works in [...] I’ve no idea why I called the post that. My subconscious insisted. I think I’ve got Comments enabled now. If nothing else I’ve got a trackback showing now from The Friendly Curmudgeon (thanks!), who was kind enough to post my plight on his blog. Thanks to those who have tried to comment on my post “Oh no,” [...] |
