The Y2K “bug” had nothing on these screw ups.
Tim O’Reilly is a Jackass
That’s basically the premise behind Simone’s well spoken rant. All the power to you, Simone, and I’d like to see him enforce that no compete agreement.
That’s One Killer Christmas Light Display
Be sure to have your sound turned up for full effect. I’m sure his neighbors love it.
Slow Right-Click Fixer
If you get annoyed by how it sometimes takes forever for right-click menus to show up on certain items, this program is your solution (and I’m mostly bookmarking this here so I don’t lose the URL).
We’re Back
Well that was a frickin’ mess.
If you haven’t noticed, this site has been inaccessible for the last several hours (about 10 or so). I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure it out, knowing it was a DNS issue on the server (as I could get on via IP, but not domain), but I could NOT for the life of me figure out what it was. I e-mailed my partner-in-crime who is the billing contact on this server, but couldn’t get ahold of her. And since my laptop is still in the shop, I didn’t have a local copy of her phone number (it’s all in Sunriver) or account information so I could contact our host myself. So I e-mailed around, posted on some support forums, and e-mailed our host’s support desk, got a response, and apparently a cPanel upgrade yesterday bulldozed the named.conf file. A few simple commands and we were good to go. Too bad I didn’t find that forum post about 8 hours ago.
So if anybody has any e-mail they’ve been trying to send me, please re-send it as it might not have gotten through.
For That Geek On Your Christmas List
Nothing like an overclocked and modified NES to stick under your favorite geek’s tree.
Another Bend Blog
The person doing this blog wishes to remain anonymous (in reality, I have no idea who he/she is, I just got this URL sent to me via my e-mail form), but here’s another Bend Blog for you: The Bend Report. From what I can tell, it’s basically a pile of Bend-related news story links locally and from around the state, with a bit of commentary on some of them.
Hopefully that’ll keep you occupied for a bit (as will any of the other Bend Blogs) as I’m totally slammed and probably won’t be blogging until I get my laptop back (hopefully soon) and can work at home then (as I don’t have a home system, as my wife’s is setup for her).
Where Do Crescent Rolls Come From?
I really hope they don’t come from here (sorry, I’m too lazy to embed that into this page). Thanks Greg for the vid.
Scoble Pulls Anti-Google Post
I’m horribly behind on my feed and e-mail reading, but I did find this whole mess a bit entertaining. Thanks to Jo-Anne for the tip.

This story is just loaded with bad puns: “Orgasm Day appreciated by all comers.”
