Greetings from Orlando!
By Andrew Pollack on 01/17/2008 at 11:36 PM ESTHere's the story in Orlando.....
#1. I'm here, and you're not (well most of you).
#2. It's very hot here. This evening, dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) fell from the sky in LIQUID form! I'm fortunate to have gotten under cover before being burned.
#3. It could be the heat, but I think something terrible has happened to the snow here. It all green and fuzzy -- like its covered with some kind of mold. I think the heat and humidity have caused it to go bad. Maybe they can get it all nice and clean and white by the time you folks get down here.
Aside from the strange green snow and hideously dangerous free falling liquid DHMO, things are good here. I'm in a hotel near the airport, and have pre-programmed my Garmin NUVI 350 with the locations of the Penske truck rental, the UPS Cargo Depot, and the Yach & Beach Club hotel; and will be making the pickup first thing in the morning.
real estate agent back home to put the house up for sale. Meanwhile you're
trying to figure out what part of Florida to move to.
I like the panhandle myself. In any case I had to move here. The winters in
Atlanta were killing me.
kill you!

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
- 01/28/2020Copyright Troll WarningThere's a copyright troll firm that has automated reverse-image searches and goes around looking for any posted images that they can make a quick copyright claim on. This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
