That’s Not Supposed To Happen, Either

I get the computer well.
And then I get sick!
Apparent food poisoning.
I think that’s all for tonight.
I’ll put up a nice music video you can all play again and again while I recover.

That’s Not Supposed To Happen

Suddenly everything went sick with my desktop.
Of course, when this happens and you’re running a Microsoft OS, it takes hours to diagnose the simplest frikkin thing. (And it did turn out to be simple!)
But it’s a good thing I wasn’t running Linux. I’d be offline until 2009, buried under RTFM cudgels from the [...]

Was My Brain Screaming To Itself?

In another context, I had to revisit a prior post here: Self-Confidence Vs. Self-Delusion.
In reading it just now, this jumped out at me:
This is why I excoriate The Secret and things like it. They make it far too easy for someone to fall into the horrible trap of self-delusion. It’s a trap that is very, [...]

“Shit” And “Worthless White Nigger”

I didn’t see this movie. Now I wish I had!
Clinton Advisor: Indianans “Shit”, “Worthless White N*rs”

Blog Notes: April 2008 Contents Are Up

Contents: Month 04, April 2008
I hate doing that. It’s frikkin labor!

Bizarre Cartoons Make Me Laugh

I went to yell on the WordPress Forum about a new Category bug and came across a link for a blog called Flaming Spinach.
It has cartoons by some madman with a twisted sense of humor.
This one especially made me laugh because it is just so damned weird.
Plus, the word “kumquat” even by itself is hysterical.

Blog Notes: Numbering FAIL!

Dammit. I’ve got two posts numbered 74 for Chronicles of Depression 2.0.
Now I’ve got to go in and fix that, plus all the subsequent ones, and edit their URLs too.
Contents has been assembled in rough form.
Back here soon.
So run and hide now.

Blog Notes: Into The Black Hole

I must go do the Contents for April.
No blogging until that monster is out of the way.
It’s all manual labor.
Now if WordPress really wanted to do something useful, they’d find a way to automate that awful process.
