Goodbye, Steve

IRL

A little like smoking

I’ve found myself reaching for my iPhone and my twitter client, which I’ve deleted. It’s like reaching for smokes all the time. Oh well. It’ll pass. Now I need start getting projects in order.

Simplifying

So, I’m breaking up with twitter. But not just twitter. I’m reorging my tech heavy life to try and get focus and control back. My focus and time management are trashed and with ADD, a very delicate thing to begin with. So I’m pulling a Star Trek reboot on how I do things and the [...]

Silly @ work

Had a conversation with my coworker about customer service asking for passwords on the phone. It devolved into us taking turns in creating the fictitious one side phone support call transcribed below. At the time we laughed our asses off. Excuse me sir i’ll need the social and cc numbers for you and your extended [...]

A blog about geeks living with ADD?

You know, as good an idea as that sounds, I think by definition it wouldn’t work. It’s like the apocryphal “Anarchists meeting” And really, isn’t every personal tech blog out there a journal of tech and ADD, for the most part?

Extreme Makeover gets Extremely made over

So we sat down last night and decided to stream some tv to ourly newly hobbled together “media center”. We watch some house flipping on TLC and eventually found our way to Extreme Make Over: Home Editon. Which, as far as I know, is now the ONLY edition having realized that there are just some [...]

Day 2 of the social drought

So here we are at day two. More late rising and coming to work to find vista pooping itself. I had to just complain to the walls rather than twitter. I finally just IM’d some from twitter and let them know vista is full of crunchy fail. I got the idea to do my own [...]

The obligatory “day one without twitter” post

This is where I’m supposed to blog about my first day without using twitter to spout off every 2 minutes. And so I shall. Today “seemed” productive. Of course I got into work just after 9 and everyone else was out having been up all night with the server move. Though the whole ride in [...]

Killing tasks/procs in vista from the command line

I’ve been having issues with Vista, of course.  It can get into a state where SOMETHING on the system freaks out and I can’t even pull task manager up.  I can see it’s icon in the dock going all crazy, but I can’t bring up the task list window and try and fix problems. What [...]

Must remember

I’ve been trying to remember to blog I’ve got a number of good fixes to document including wp-hascash error corrections and getting wifi to work properly in Ubuntu with an Atheros chipset. But I’m just so overwhelmed with work and life. Oh well. Soon.

Dear retailer, suck it up.

So, there I am getting my lunch at a chain eatery. I have their stupid little club card and decide to cash it in and pay for some of my meal with it. After much sliding of cards and punching of touch screens the clerk finally tells me I’ll owe .54 cents. So I make [...]
