25 days out, nerves high
I’m now 25 days out from the Marine Corps Marathon. I’ve completed all of my long runs, some more successfully than others. I’ve survived the training. Now all I have left is the event. It scares me shitless.
I ordered up a custom shirt to run in to hopefully give me a bit of a pick-me-up [...]
Tim Gleason: Head stuck up ass
Those of you who luckily missed last night’s Hurricanes @ Thrashers game missed one of the stupidest penalties ever taken in a hockey game.
THE SCENARIO: Tie game with 2:50 left in the third. The Hurricanes need every point they can get, but at least one would help. If they tough it out and squeak to [...]
“. . . and the Oscar goes to. . .”
The Democratic National Convention! Honestly, I haven’t witnessed this much verbal fellatio since… hmm, I can’t think of a comparable example. I actually think Gore is right, to be honest. I think we’ve got the beginnings of the end with global warming if we don’t do something drastic and do it now. But that doesn’t [...]
Farewell, Kevyn Adams
Were I to purchase a named sweater of the Hurricanes, a serious contender would have to be Kevyn Adams. A perennial fourth liner, Kevyn exhibits work ethic and tenaciousness on defense. He centered one of the two penalty kill lines last season that stymied the best powerplay lines in the league. An alternate captain, he [...]
Another update on the new spam killing
Things were just going too smoothly. I thought my SK2 plugin was doing dandy, catching everything it was supposed to. And it was, though my average daily take has been hovering about 5 or 10 now. What should have been obvious was that I actually haven’t received any comments recently. I finally discovered why: there [...]
CF is sick
Just FYI, I’ve been diagnosed with viral meningitis. That’s why no posts. Back ASAP.
Misbehaving Internet Explorer Add-On?
You may have noticed that I’ve been “closed for business”, so to speak, the past couple of days. Let me explain and beseech the community to help me get to the bottom of this.
The day before yesterday I found my hosting account had been suspended due to me using too many server resources. Upon pleading [...]
Saving me from myself
Remember this? Thanks to Gregory for tooting his own hornpointing out his plugin, Twilight Autosave, that would have saved me the frustration I experienced yesterday (yes, tooting horns is perfectly acceptable where it’s this damned useful). It essentially saves idiotspeople like me from themselves. Remember the “save early, save often” mantra? Yes, the one I [...]
