So, yea.
Not sure what I did, but I caused the macbook to go pear shaped. Something about a kernel panic and fsck not being able to run. All bad as far as I can tell. Oh yea, running real slow too.
Thanks to Josh for the assist in trouble shooting and google-ing the errors.
So it is known, in the 12 years I’ve had PC’s, I have never had to do this within the first 2 weeks of either owning or installing a new drive. Even Win95 went longer before needing a reinstall. I’m just sayin’.
So, the Sunday Post might be a little late. Depends on how long the re-install takes.
Nothing in particular, just more things getting checked off my list.
- Using DoubleCommand, I was able to remap the extra enter key as a forward delete! This program is supposed to also help remap keys from a PC keyboard, but either I don’t get it, or it doesn’t work.
- MacBook with a closed lid is in sleep mode. But, connect and external display, keyboard and mouse and it comes back to life automagically, turning said MacBook into a desktop workstation without enough USB ports to be useful.
The above trick was really cool when I discovered it. It will help in my quest to go Mac only as much as possible.
Speaking of which…
If you are talking on the phone with me, and I happen to start interrupting you to get you to stop talking, please, for the love of god, stop fucking talking! There is a really good chance that the call I am interrupting you for is WAY more important than yours and I have to take it.
And try breathing on occassion too. The long run-on sentence is annoying and hard to understand on the phone anyway.
Thank you.
During the show Todd told us about a new game he recently learned and we had a little fun with it.
It’s call dirty kitchen.
You take a country or nationality (British or Etheopia, for example) and add to that a kitchen utensil or appliance (spoon or colander, for example). The result is the newest sex position you heard about at ‘those sites’ that you tell your significant other you never visit.
Here are a few examples. Feel free to play along at home!
Vietnamese Steamer Greek fork Irish blender Russian chopper Mexican potato masher
You get the idea.
Oh yea, it might be just a little more fun if you and your fellow players have had an adult beverage or 2. Trust me, this stuff is comedy gold!
If you want to eat vegetables, eat vegetables. But don’t eat that. That’s prop food.

With Easter behind and cj’s recent comment about peeps, I believe that now is the time for my thoughts about this fake food phenomenon be heard!
First of all, really, stay away from the peeps gang! I’ve seen what happens to them when they are exposed to acid, a microwave over, a steam roller and all kinds of other, destructive, processes.
Do you know what happens?
Nothing! They still completely intact! This is not something you want to eat gang, really.
The other thing? Spenda. All y’all just need to stop with this stuff. First of all, it’s not made from sugar. It’s actually ground up Styrofoam packing peanuts mixed with Sweet-n-Low. Second of all, this stuff is 110% un-natural! It’s not grown or anything, it was created in a chemistry lab!
Don’t you think it’s odd that, by volume, splenda under weighs sugar by quite a bit. For example, a box of sugar that weighs 1 pound will only hold 2 oz. of splenda. Am I the only 1 that finds it odd?
Don’t even get me started on the taste either. It’s doesn’t take ANYTHING like sugar. Ok, sure, it’s sweet, with a bug-spray type aftertaste that I think is disgusting! And, what are your caloric savings making this switch? 5 calories per tablespoon or something? Honestly, would it be better to spend an extra minute on the treadmill?
Or, you can continue eating this crap. Just for the love of all things natural, stop telling me about it!
