bloging at 70mph!

Filed under: Items in the Pensieve,Muggle Tech — Darkavich @ 4:53 pm

Well I am sitting in my wife’s mustang typing away on the mac. I am using my borrowed EVDO card from work and figured I would see how well it worked. I need to add to my geek points, so I figued what better to do it than surf the internet at 70 mile per hour.

For the most part it works great. The latency can be a pain though when your waiting for a page to load. Around Santa Barbara I lost signal, but it didn’t last for long.

About to go through a tunnel, we will see if the signal stays!

Yea! It did. Signal went to zero, but then came back. I didn’t get bumped from my dial up though.

well back to sight seeing before I cause Angie to crash.

I am sorry sir, you must have at least 4 tires to ride this ride.

Well what an exciting day. We are driving up to cambria for my birthday and new years, when what to our surprise did we see, but a tire rolling along side us on the 405 freeway. I looked over and then saw a old beat up corvette riding on three wheels.

The back left rim was showering sparks as he was ridding along trying to get off the freeway.

Now that is not something you see every day!

Scotty

Ok, I am a geek, some may say super-geek. But there is something I do not suffer from. I do not subscribe to the Scotty principle. You know, you pad your estimates with 50%-100% more time than you really need.

When you ask me how much time will it take my answer will be truthful. It will not be padded with extra time. Please remember this in the future when you work with me on any project. If I do not know how long it will take I will tell you. If I say it will take two hours I mean two hours. There is no way I will be able to do it in one.

Sometimes feeling lucky, isn’t lucky

I was on google tonight and was feeling bored, so I typed in:

“Where do I want to go for my birthday?” and Clicked “I’m Feeling Lucky”

and I ended up here

I about pissed my pants!

was playing a little tonight and got this message when I stepped on a grave:

There is a grave here. Something is engraved here on the headstone.
You read: “Postman, please note forwarding address: Gehennom, Asmodeus’s
Fortress, fifth lemure on the left”.

There is a grave here. Something is engraved here on the headstone.
You read: “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”.
