• The guys that came out and buried our new line were supposed to help the situation, not make it worse. Now we have no Cable TV either. #
• On the plus side though, they saved me from watching the Bengals 😉 #
• 1 year old up all night being sick, finally tossing his cookies at 6am. It wasn’t pretty and he obviously wasn’t happy. #
• I think I’m going to make sure he gets to see all the TimeWarner installers today and give them ‘5’… #
• Please, please someone give me a good alternative to Bloglines that’s not Google Reader. Something that is web-based and not local. #
• TimeWarner guys show up to rewire inside of house. Surprise! there is no signal inside the house (duh) #
• TW repair guy reports: Bad tap at the pole, and RR signals are non-existent at the pole. Again: Imagine that!?!? #
• /. quote of the day: Six months of AI programming will make you think there is a God. Six months of tech support and you’ll know there isn’t #
• The next IT food challenge is in the 3rd floor kitchen fridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg The bounty has not yet been set. #
• Woohoo! Business RR is good so far… 10 down 1.5 up. 1.5 up is way better than the 300k I’d get before. But will it last, that is the ? #
• There isn’t much in this world worse than a walking 1 year old with the stomach flu, spontaneously vomiting. Thank God for hardwood floors. #
• I forgot to watch UC in the Orange Bowl, apparently I didn’t miss much. #
• Wifey now has the stomach flu that the boy just went through. That chair in my office is looking like a good place to sleep tonight. #
• Anyone else notice audio issues in the TWIT 175 Podcast? Kinda fading in and out every 30 seconds or so? Annoying. #
• Ahhh So this Annoying Audio fade in/out on TWIT 175 is their transition between ‘subjects’ in the review episode. D- for effectiveness. #
• Maria scored her first goal this morning! #
• Took Maria to see http://www.thetaleofdespereauxmovie.com/splash/ tonight and it was actually pretty good. #

• Starting the salvage process now, this should be fun. These guys are just full of personality. #
• Wow, These guys don’t have any Christmas spirit nor a sense of humor. #
• Done, fairly painless, off to the BMV to get a new title and plates reattached. #
• Title is done. Currently standing in line a BMV. I think some of the people are here just for the heat. They don’t look like they could own #
• It’s also low IQ day here at the BMV. #
• All in all that took much less time than anticipated. #
• Washing machine repair guy shows up with part, installs part, then informs us washer doesn’t work right, probably never did. #
• More washing machine parts on order… They shouldn’t be this complex or complicated. Put in water, stir clothes, drain water, rinse, etc. #
• Wow, 40-50% of Blackberry Storms are being returned… It sucks that bad. #
• Makin Coffee, decalf that is. Somebody has to do it, might as well be me. #
• Totally disappointed by the year end TWIT podcast. “10 Ferret Night”. Weak. I expected more from Leo and John Hodgman. #
• Seems if you don’t stand in the wind, the windchill effect won’t get you. So stay out of the wind (duh). #
• Bloglines is so jacked up. It’s lost track of stuff I’ve already read a few times today. #
• Matthew Alexander is one cute dude… #
• OOPS came out and marked our property this morning for the new cable service. Seems they are going to bury it this time. #
• http://tinyurl.com/vfms8 Christmas, 80’s style… 🙂 #
• http://tinyurl.com/ayfw5y here’s to all the people who’ve failed an MS Certification test. Take that! #
• My bad, I couldn’t understand a word she was saying in the video. I’m not sure she really passed. I think the testers simply gave up. #
• Need a last minute gift? Word on the street is that there is no line at the Bengals Gift shop 🙂 #
• Irony. Living 25 miles from work and getting to drive 25 mph home. Yeah. #
• The temps been rising, it started raining hard about an hour ago and just like that, we have no internet. #
• Bah Humbug #
• Santas work is finally done. #
• Oh I scorred an isorobot from the inlaws. It’s a helloflotta fun. #
• Xmas Scores: isorobot, super sweet Craftsman tool box, a volt meter for the bike, a sweet hoodie and a sweater… #
• Santa only teased us with internet for an hour or two this morning 🙁 #
• Oh, and I got zero lumps of coal, so that’s always a good thing. #
• Tonight I scored a pair of LD undies, a reflective vest, and a couple lbs of instant microwave bacon. mmm not much beats bacon. #
• Just so were clear. I’m really hating Time Warner at this moment. #
• Still no internet and I was just informed our website has vanished form the virtual host. This is NOT my week for interweb related items. #
• Why do companies only let you chat online with pre-sales people that can’t help you? #

• RoadRunner screwed me again. I was supposed to make some router changes from home today, but no… RR picks this day to not work. #
• This Microsoft IE Exploit is a big PITA. #
• http://www.laborpains.org/ Nice… 22 Pounds of UAW Rules and Regulations. We need an IT Union… (NOT) #

read my explanation here.

• To top off the Disher’s last two weeks of crisis, our 13 month old Washing machine decides it doesn’t want to drain properly…. @%$#%@ #
• The world is a mess: http://www.girleffect.org/. Who knew? and apparently only girls can fix it. #
• I’m sorry, but I tend not to believe experts who’s primary email address is @aol.com #
• Extended Warranty on our Whirlpool Washer has paid off. New pump on order, two service calls, cash outlay = $0.00 🙂 #
• Scanned my home puter with AVG free last night. The only virus it found was, uh, an installer for Trend Scan Mail for Exchange. Ironic? #
• http://freegan.info/ OK, this is stupid…. It’s really bumanism #
• Crap, was supposed to beat Vic down at shuffleboard tonight but Dave n Busters is hosting somebodys xmas party. Suffleboard is unavailable. #
• Shuffleboars is on, we weasled our way into the party and onto a board which for the moment is free 🙂 #
• Finished the night 4-2n but so did Vic and so did Steve, which meant Ryan finished the night 0 fer 6. #
• Tip of the day: If you’re a bartender and you can’t remember faces, like for not even 30 minutes, you will suck as a bartender. #
• Yes, if it wasn’t clear it is now, Marvin Lewis is a bonafide nut-job. #
• Let me know how it goes cause we’re seriously considering switching. #
• I think we’re upgrading to RR Teleworker Business… (1) Static IP, 10mb down, 1.5 up, for $59.95. They claim 4hour same day service. #
• Yes, in fact we are going to go with RR Business, all new wiring to the house, install on Tuesday. #
• Lots of updates for Latitude eSeries, new Bios A10, new audio drivers, new wifi drivers, new Dell Utility. #
• Snagged a refurb 16gb Sansa MP on Woot for $50. Looks like they may not have refurbed it enough. 🙁 #
• I’ve tried to give George Bush the benefit of the doubt, but 17B for the automakers proves that he’s lost his mind. #
• Ack, no internet for us. Turns out cable is bad at the pole. Tues will be interesting when they come to install business RR. #
• A tethered Blackberry is a wonderful thing, Even though it’s just a hair better than dial up. It keeps the internet withdrawal shakes a tbay #
• Miraculously, we have internet this morning. Which says the trouble is even farther down the line that the guy thought, which is troubling. #
• No sign of a troubled economy today. Shopping centers are a zoo and as bad or worse than black friday to me. #

• I have finally given up on Vista on my HP Mini. The final straw is the BSOD every time it wakes up from sleep. Installing Ubuntu 8.10 now #
• Bold prediction: Bengals will be 1-11-1 after today 🙂 #
• I also predict Detroit will get their first win today. (Maybe) #
• Yeah, Ubumtu makes this thing usable again. I highly recommend it. It’s making me consider a new HP Mini 1000 #
• Matthew Alexander turns 1 today, his birthday party will commence shortly. #
• http://tinyurl.com/6aeyvp It never occurred to me that a race of people would need their own browser. #
• I’ve listened to Mike McConnell for years, like almost 20 years. Is it just me or is he getting just a tad pompous these days? #
• Uh, the day Tim can dunk a basketball is the day I eat the potted meat. If it’s not on YouTube it didn’t happen. #
• Is it too much to ask for people in service industries to be on time? You set an appointment, you should be there, or call. #
• Add “Septic Tank Cleaner-Outer” to one of the many jobs I’m thankful I don’t have to do every day. Man, oh man that would suck. #
• http://tinyurl.com/yo7or6 If you live in Kalifornia you can get one of these… Sweet. #
• This dude http://yourtech.typepad.com/ needs to keep writing and stay off radio/podcasts like TWIT. He’s horrible. #
• Got up this morning and took Molly yo breakfast. Then to the gym to help them flip the pit mats. Such fun. #
• Yesterday we started taking the wrecked RT apart. Or at least salvaging a few reusable items like the piaa lights. #

• Oh, the Bengals are playing today? Ha, I didn’t even care enough to record it. #
• Oh, I played with a Blackberry storm this weekend at our family xmas. That thing is horribly slow, and well, pretty sucky and dissapointing #
• http://tinyurl.com/6oz4b8 are delicious. I was able to secure 3 dozen for my wife’s birthday (one of her favorite things) and it was good. #

• Can’t remember if I mentioned, Maria’s indoor soccer team won 19-0 Saturday morning. No that’s not a typo. Soccer, Nineteen to 0. Brutal. #
• http://www.sqlbuddy.com/ is the shiznit… Very well done. #
• RubyTuesdays Parmesian Cajun Shrimp is really good and surprisingly exactly like the picture in the menu with 18 shrimps and everything. #
• Finished Fallout 3 last night, not on purpose. Once you get near the end you just can’t stop. I enjoyed it even if it ended prematurely. #
• Ordering Dominos via the web is pretty sweet. Still not the best value in Pizza, but when you’re in a hurry and not too picky it will do. #
• The China Buffet in Mason used to be good. After today’s lunch, I think it’s off my list of possible lunch destinations. #
• When it rains, it pours. We let Michael Drive the Cirrus to work today and… http://tinyurl.com/6atrrk #
• The rental Nissan Sentra is kind of growing on me… It might not be so bad afterall. #
