Off-Topic 11/21/08 Travel Edition

Clement_tiny by Sec 108 on Comment 994 comments

Today pdb heads to Ohio through Indiana to see his wife.

NOLA should be nearing the end of her journey from Louisiana to the great Northwest.

Faux has been on the road a lot lately, but I'm not sure if he is back home yet or not.

Who will be traveling for Thanksgiving next week?

A few of the Off-Topic regulars will be traveling to the Renton Highlands tonight for bowling and socializing.

Other topics:

Thank God that Scholarship Poll is over.  I hate seeing the worst in people and that showed it.  Kudos to Dave for staying above the fray and showing what a great person he is.

How the hell did my roll of toilet paper make it out of the plant with no perforation?

So Thingray was finally outed by deapseadv.  Good sleuthing Kermit.

Is the world ending soon now that Coach had a comment go green?

I'll be travelling up to Stuttgart for Thanksgiving

to spend it with an Army buddy. We’ll likely spend the rest of the weekend stumbling drunk in Munich, hooray!!

Or is it just that no one wants to respond to a diary posted by a noted ex-member of the Hitler Youth?
Sec 108’s first band in high-school played up-tempo versions of Horst Wessel Lied and other nazi anthems… I believe they were called PanzerFaust or something. I’m not making this up; I read about it once.

But RC only gets to drink it AFTER she drinks the elderberry tea that she needs to drink. After downing some elderberry extract. And dissolving some of these under her tongue:

(Normally I’d just suggest the individual doses of Kali B, Gelsemium and Allium cepa, but this has all of it plus a few other things — Belladonna for fever, etc…)

Near the print screen/pause/break buttons

To the right of the function keys on many keyboards.

I just pressed it a few times. Nothing. Tried scrolling; it worked fine. This button lies.
I also tried concentrating really hard on my tea mug and then pressing the ‘break’ button. I wasn’t really expecting a whole “Scanners” style explosion, but c’mon. It did fuck all.

I never had an Acorn Electron

Didn’t Acorn make the BBC Micro? Or was that some other Acorn?

Tell me you used to have that Donkey-Kong clone “Killer Gorilla” – my wife’s always talking about that, and how the name “Donkey Kong” makes no sense whatsoever and thus Killer Gorilla must have been the original game.

Absolutely!

Had both, a BBC Micro too, and the games on it were amazing.

Killa Gorilla was definitely one of them. And yes, it’s DK except I’d never heard of DK at the time.

Children's Hospital is ramping up their research departments big time.

Think my wife said something about doubling or tripling the numbers of people. They’ve purchased approx a city block downtown, more property at Magnuson, and are making a massive addition to the hospital itself. Might be worth look, they have grants in an insane number of different areas.

IT department is growing pretty rapidly, they are turning into a big Microsoft software lab.

So I woke up this morning at 11:29, and I started freaking out because I have a test in 1 minute, and missing it isn’t an option. So I jump out of bed, throw on some clothes, race to my bike, sprint to school, get there in 5 minutes, go to the door, and as I’m about to open it, I realise my class isn’t in there. I check the time and I’m just confused, because my classmates should be in there taking a test. So I walk away from the door, and remember the class I have a test in acctually started at 12:30. So I still have a half an hour to screw around on campus while looking like a goober, and I’m still wheezing from the bike ride over.

So there's the company e-mails going around where the VP of Western Region e-mails everyone reminding us to do Emergency Awareness Training

And of course, some idiot hits “Reply All” and e-mail his question to the Sector VP and every other person in Western Region.

The third guy to do this hilariously wrote

What exactly is the attraction of the reply all button? Could we address emails to those they concern please?

addressed to every mailbox in WR. It’s either the funniest e-mail joke I’ve ever seen or the most hilariously ironic statement of all time. I cant’ decide which

Are you a glass half full or half empty type?

Because there’s your answer there. I get the same thing from people responding to my dad’s emails. He sends out like 8 emails a day (stupid jokes and stuff) and everybody that replies to them always does “reply all.” I can’t stand it, especially because these emails already have the headers on them from every single person to have ever seen it, which drives me crazy enough.

It's not that I'm a fuddy duddy and want nothing to change.

We were renting a house in Wedgewood for example. My wife said she didn’t want to live in a suburb of sameness. I took her outside and started pointing out how 50+ years ago Wedgewood was cookie cutter. Just all the years of additions and landscaping, people put their personalities into it.
I’m a big fan of renovating some of these older buildings, especially pre-40’s. The materials are tremendous, most of the framing timber is better than modern wood used for finishing work. A lot of this new stuff is going to look like garbage real quick.

We'll be there as soon as I can run home to Everett so we can carpool.

We don’t want to have two cars with us that far from home. Besides, I’d rather drive the Veracruz than the old Honda.

That's fine, I was just messing

I’m stranded in Kent at the moment anyhow. I’m trying to pick up my kid, but my dad is playing Grampa and making him work the tow truck

Cute.

We’ll probably be down there a little early anyway. If I can get home by 5:30 and start heading south, we should be there before 6:30. But no promises!

That's a rude way to say goodbye to everyone.

(I’m assuming the Jager is in the freezer)

No - I was being rude

Yes, it is in the freezer. Sheesh.

Jeanuts,

I found the meatloaf the other night to be shallow and pedantic.

when you use big words!! Pedantic meatloaf. That is what I am going to name my recipe!

Sorry Sec 108.

I tried, but what can I say? She digs me…

Too cool. My wife and I make fun of each other non-stop.

Some people do not know how to handle it.

It is awesome being married to another smart-ass though.

Too bad she's not making it to bowling tonight.

Sounds like her and Jeanuts would get along.

Just look for the scrawny guy that looks like he doesn’t know anyone.

Who do you want to see him take on first?

I vote for “Big Lo” or Dan Devone.

So bitter, so much longer to go here.

And like 3 people have the day off already so, I can’t escape sooner.

I'm usually stuck at work later than most people as well.

But a lot of people left early today, and my boss is already gone. Office closes at 5:00, so as soon as I can lock the doors, shut of the lights and bail out, I’m home free.

Faux? Are you here?

Is it just me or do the Nvidia 8800GT and the 9800GT look like identical cards?

by BrianL on Nov 21, 2008 6:04 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

9800 is "hybrid sli"

http://www.nvidia.com/object/hybrid_sli_desktop.html

It’s not that much more expensive from what I see. Makes sense.

Only if your MBoard is compliant.

And even then not so much. The performance increase is only like 8-10% by even the best measurements.

The only other person that I can talk to about hardware is in the warehouse.

The other person in my IT dept is still at the “I can combine these two old crappy computers into a crappy computer”

That would be a stage in quotes there.

Sorry, got sidetracked.

For the most part I like the people in my department.

Out of all six of us there’s only two real support people, but everyone is at least knowledgeable of what they can and can’t do.

He's a cool guy, but his computer knowledge extends to checking logs and reporting.

I have scripts that do that for me.

The sports ticker at the bottom of my video game just said "Morrow out for season with knee injury."

I almost freaked out but then I realized it was that hockey sport you guys talk about.

I was just telling Jeff this.

I respect the hell out of the players, but I just can’t see what’s going on. It’s been a while since I gave it a try, though, and with the HDTV, I might just be able to see the puck.

It really does help

Unfortunately there is very little NHL action in HD but it is a incredibly addicting sport.
