Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I was hacked off when I discovered that OSX removed the "Print Window" feature, dude. Of course, I have two boxes running OS9 on my desk, so it doesn't matter, but still!

Oh, me too. Of course you can create a workaround using command-shift-4, but if it's a long menu you then have to piece the PDFs together. And as my usual practice was to print CD menu windows 30 seconds before I had to throw them in packages and peal out for Fed Ex, not so much with the convenience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, this is the stupidest thing ever. I went out to reschedule the appt (which I just made at lunch), because of course I didn't have the phone number, and on my way back in, I heard there was about to be a fire drill. So I came back up, sat down, the fire alarms went off, went back outside, and now am back inside waiting for my boss to finish whatever thing he's doing that he wants me to carry around the corner, which is why he asked if I could stay. He can't walk around the corner? I don't care so much, since I get paid by the hour.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This is kind of fun, in a geeky way

La la la, I might be doing this for a DVD right now while watching the parking lot for the FedEx truck, la la la.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

but can't you do that from a terminal window?
There are things I should not be allowed to play with learn about at work.

Okay, I found the terminal window. What do I do next?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. My home town is 96.1% white. I think that percentage was higher when I lived there....

For population 25 years and over:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher: 13.5%

Wow.
