I guess that means a cold is starting to go around *sigh* That’s no good. *barricades self in cubicle* It’s started snowing. They are were 3-5 inches by this evening, but so far it’s not sticking. I guess this means we […]

Pandas in the rainforest?
February 22nd, 2005 by pleia2
I was at the grocery store recently looking for some handsoap. SoftSoap has this “Rainforest” line of soaps: http://www.softsoap.ca/english/brands/rainforest.shtml. This consists of 3 animals, a monkey, a parrot, and a panda. Wait, a panda? Let’s consult wikipedia: The Giant Panda lives in mountainous regions, like Sichuan and Tibet. I’m going to ask The Smithsonian Zoo: […]

It could be worse.
February 17th, 2005 by pleia2
The other night I was in an IRC channel where one of those ultra-liberal, Michael Moore worpshipping, “The US Sucks” guys[1] was babbling about something. I rolled my eyes and then the song “Sister Suffragette” from the Mary Poppins soundtrack played. That got me thinking. When the US was founded women and blacks were not […]

February 16th, 2005 by pleia2
So at this new job I’m not doing techie stuff, so my techie fun time is squeezed into the few minutes before work and the couple hours of free time afterwards. So I’m trying to play around with my schedule to fit the most fun stuff in as possible. I figure I sleep about 8 […]

R2Q5, music and Mushroom-crust quiche
February 13th, 2005 by pleia2
It started yesterday, I felt like going shopping. Shopping? What the hell? I don’t even like shopping. Well I didn’t go shopping, friends are busy. So instead I pulled R2Q5 out of storage to survey him. R2Q5 used to be collocated and we used it as a mailserver, webserver and IRC server, we brought it […]
