22 February 2006

This is a thread for things that make you go hmm... [More:]Like C&C Music Factory.
Like why FUCKING APPLE keeps making my life hell- they sent me a *Windows* formatted iPod, and it won't let me upload the iTunes Music Store music from my *Apple* computer. Motherfuckers.

There was a friend of mine named Jay
Would come over late at night and say hey

How about the time SGI sent me a "free upgrade" for the operating system on my Octane? Suddenly none of my code would compile. Just a detail in the text buffer, but you need the new compiler (+1K.)

Poor TPS, her iPod woes continue anew :(

I KNOW! What did I do to deserve such treatment?

Teeps, on Windows, every iPod update comes with the ability to return to iPod's drive to a pristine straight-from-box new-car-smell type state. I would be shocked, shocked and appalled to learn that there was not something similar on the Apple side of things.

Oh, and thing that makes me go hummm: Why has there been no hot water in my apartment for two mornings running? No Mr. Superintedent, your poorly photocopied note saying that there are problems with the water is not sufficient! Answers! I demand answers! Is this Harper's fault?!

The commuter trains here in Atlanta have TV screens in them showing news briefs, weather, and... traffic conditions.

If we're on the train, WHY would we care about traffic conditions?

Capn, Harper is too busy eating babies and feeding kittens to dragons to mess with your water. It's the super's fault.

As for my hmmm things...why do all interesting job offers come from Toronto? I don't wanna live down there!

Another one: why did someone invent, manufacture and market a "fermenting chocolate puke" sented industrial air freshner, and why did someone else buy it and install it in the men's room here?

richat: joing us... join us we can sip venti soy lattes while wearing business suits on Bay St.

While that is tempting capn, I dunno how I could go from a house on real live land, with a real live double detached carhole, to something costing 3 times as much and half the size. Plus, my commute is less than 5 minutes right now.

There might be a chance for some secondment type stuff though...a month or two at a time, put up in a swanky condo in Toronto...Working on Bay St. I might be able to talk myself and my girls into that!

Capn, it makes me me go "hmm" that I know exactly the kind of smell you're talking about. That's just wrong.

It also makes me go "hmm" that my internet was cut off this morning despite the fact that we called and renewed by card Monday morning, and that it's such a major pain in the ass to try to pay the internet provider bill by internet. Who has to join and register for a "club" to pay their internet bill? "Register"? I'm already registered, you fools... you provide my internet. How much more "registered" am I supposed to get? To be honest, this makes me say a lot more than "hmm".

Why is it cheaper for me to get a home phone line and DSL, together, than digital cable internet by itself?
That just doesn't make sense.
