Nothing better than
perusing Slashdot with a Killian’s in hand–that’s real relaxin’. And a good source for blog material. For instance,
check out this story about a software developer who went
href="http://mosnews.com/news/2006/03/23/beatpirate.shtml">head-to-head against a software pirate, with the developer
coming out on top, thought not with a TKO. Now that’s the way we these kinds of legal disputes would have been settled a
century ago, but nowadays everything is wrapped up in legal mumbo jumbo, with the lawyers coming out on top. This of course
leads right into a slew of lawyer jokes, such
as
“What’s the difference between a hooker and a lawyer?
A hooker will stop screwing you after you are
dead.”
or the classic
“What do you call 5000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A
good start!”
I think I need to add to my custom fields plugin, creating a new section for /. articles–one a
day or something like that. Though, I must admit, sometimes /. doesn’t offer anything appealing to my news taste, but then
I don’t really make posts every day either.
There’s a new
star wars television show due to be released
in 2008. The show will revolve around Luke’s missing 20 years, between Episode III and IV. I’m not sure if the show will
be primarily about Luke/Leia or the full rise of the Empire, but there are certainly die-hard Star Wars fanatics who will be
tivoing every episode.
In other news, we got over 5″ of snow today, but I decided to ignore all warnings and brace
the hour long drive to
Ironically, I decided to travel straight down IN-46 instead of taking I-70 over to Brazil and then IN-59 around to meet up
with IN-46. As a result, before I got to the IN-46 and IN-59 interesection, I hit a patch of snow and the car swerved
towards oncoming traffic; natural instinct had me maneuver as to not crash with the approaching truck, and my car ended up
in a deep ditch half filled with water. Luckily, my car remained with passanger side in the water and driver side out of
water so that I could get in and out of the car. However, the water level was higher than the bottom of the car door, so
the car began to take water. After sitting in the ditch for an hour and a half, a conservation officer finally stopped and
we got the car out, which is now in the shop. And I’m stuck working from home until Switzer’s gets all the damage
repaired (thankfully, I don’t believe there is any major damage as I wasn’t traveling fast).
I talked to my boss
later, who informed me that he tried to contact me in order to tell me not to worry about coming in today–HA! Irony rues
the day!

have to wonder how many people spend a lot of time on, and how many just give up saying it’s impossible. People,
particularly laymen computer users, are instinctively focused on the mouse and never give thought one to how the keyboard
can save a lot of time and frustration.
