Send Out the Clowns…

Puffy has demanded a “no clown” clause in his contract. Yes, he suffers from “coulrophobia, an irrational fear of the red-nosed, oversized-shoe-wearing, greasepainted circus buffoons”. Poor Puffy. [via Damaged Goods]

I was going to leave this for Robyn to write about, but some stuff is too good to pass up. Like this. That’s “Longs Drugs” by the way, not “Long Dong” like I first read it. No more yanky my wanky!

1601…

That last entry was number 1600. Whoa. 1600 entries. For the record, MovableType is still going strong and on the Blogomania servers I can do a full rebuild, including daily, weekly & monthly archives, in about 2 minutes. In order to recognize post #1600, for post #1601 I would like to point out that even more blog links have been added to the link list. If you are using the first skin for this site, you can click the “Full Link List” link to see them all! (I’m still trying to decide if I want to implement the random list on the other skins. What do you think?)

This or That…

It’s Tuesday, and with Kymberlie in Vegas, I decided to just stay in for lunch. When I hit Delirious Cool (a way super cool person, let me tell you!) I realized that today is Tuesday, so it’s time for Ashley’s This-or-That! So here it goes…

1. Is your mouse pad plain or decorated? Work: the circle mousepad with the company logo that you will see on all of the desks here at 4 Guys. Not because they make us, but because we love the company that much. Really. Home: touchpad – no need for a mousepad.

2. Do you own a web cam? I own one, but it’s not set up right now. Maybe someday it will return.

3. Which do you do use more often online: email or search? E-mail.

4. Do you use HTML coding, WYSIWYG editor, or something else to create your web pages? Notepad. Hand coded, down to the last character. I really need to reinstall Homesite, I like how it helps with the tags but still has the hand-coding feel.

5. Do you forward chain emails? No.

6. Do you forward those mushy stories that take 20 minutes to read? Not normally, and only to special people who I think will be really moved by them. Just like the jokes, I need to set up a blog for them sometime.

7. How large is your monitor: 14″, larger, or smaller? Work: 19″ monitor. Set to 1600×1200. (I love viewing 2 800 pixels wide windows at once!). Home: Laptop monitor which is larger then the standard size – 15″ maybe? Pretty big. Also set to 1600×1200.

8. Do you have a mouse with a scroller, one with two buttons, one with three? Two buttons with a scroller at work. I almost never use the scroller though, I always forget that it’s there. Laptop uses a touchpad.

9. Do you listen to music while surfing the web? Yes or no? Not normally. I have been using the headphones more at the office to drown out the noise & get into “the zone”. At home I normally watch TV while I surf. I *heart* WiFi!

10. How often do you clear your cookies, or cache? Uh, am I supposed to? Never. I might just do that this week. Then I’ll have to type my name back in on all the comment forms, won’t I?

You Know You’re a Geek When…

I just had to laugh when I visited Chris’s site and read about the fact that he had company in town. No, no, company isn’t funny – but the fact that the image on the webcam (Pop-up for you to click…) showed Chris in front of the screen and said guest on the couch with his iBook at 2am, that cracked me up. Looks like something I would do!

WiFi Steps Up…

Drool. It’s all thanks to my Lockergnome Windows Daily tips. Chris commented, “No matter what we tried with this stupid Linksys four-port WAP, we couldn’t get anything going. Then, this evening, one of the ports completely crapped out. I’ve about had it with this thing; I’m actively seeking another solution.” Then he linked to U.S. Robotics Doubles Wi-Fi Speeds. Fortunately, I was told by 4 different people to avoid the LinkSys WiFi system, and my 3Com has never given me any trouble at all. But double the speed at the same cost?!? Anyone need a 3Com WiFi Access Point?
