Today’s Update Of Random Stuff

I am in pain. Excruciating pain. My whiplash (or maybe something related) came back in full force this morning, though I had warning signs yesterday. I had no neck rotation to the left more than an inch or so. Totally crippled due to pain. My chiropractor saw me and made it a bit better, however […]

Western Digital Makes Good

First I refer you to a previous post about Western Digital. I don’t want to go over all that again. I believe I also mentioned in a follow up post that I had sent a missive by certified mail to John Coyne, the CEO of Western Digital. The day I sent that letter, or maybe […]

Art, Drives, and Stuff you don’t care about

Platform For Art: it’s one of the many things to love about the Tube (or the London Underground, or even subway for you leftpondians.) Every now and again I just have to throw in a plug for my favourite transit system of all time — BART comes in second for inquiring minds. When I go […]

A Double Rocky Frisco

I thought I’d give a little shout-out to my bud Rocky Frisco. I accidentally stumbled upon one of his videos that’s over on YouTube and then found there was a second. Rocky’s a famous musician, and if you haven’t heard of him, it’s your loss. He’s played with some of the greats and regularly tours […]

A Lazy Sunday

First, Robert Lynn Asprin, author of the Myth series of novels as well as the Phule’s Company series of novels is dead from natural causes in New Orleans. He died in May in bed whilst reading a Terry Pratchett novel. I just found out when I got my new issue of Locus Magazine. Second, Adrian […]

Amusing and Bemused Post

Today’s Post of Little Value

Adrian is coming over and we’re going to dinner. Yay. It’s good because I have no food in the house. I must remedy that. Tomorrow I am supposed to go on a business dinner to Renegade at the Hard Rock. Double Yay. I still wish there would be a T-Mobile iPhone but not yet, I […]

Good Service Is Hard To Find. But not at CBL.

I am famous (infamous?) for my diatribes against companies that provide lousy service, poor attempts at customer service, as well indifferent, incompetent, and unknowledgeable staff. It is rare that I can write something good about a company. I wish I could, but it is a sadly rare event. People have come to expect the average […]

Randomness Part Huit

I found a bug in Firefox version 3, which I reported at Bugzilla. Really muffs up the visuals when you try to change text size on one page and it changes the text size on ALL pages. Horrific planning to implement a “new feature” at the expense of useability. Sad because it worked fine. Adrian […]

Various Stuff

No news on fraud. iDrive sucks. It’s the one thing about my new car that sucks ass. I really hate it more with each passing day. I like my car but not the iDrive disaster. Chiropractor visit today was helpful. StateFarm appears to be paying doctor’s bills through July so need for lawyer is shrinking. […]
