If you plan on getting kinky during your trip, at least make sure you remove the batteries from your sex toys first.
Burned Out
I haven’t slept more than four hours per night the last week or so, my kids have been sick, we’re short-staffed (and hiring) at work so I’m working my butt off, and there are some personal things that are going on that are keeping me busy and tired. I did want to post something here to test ORBlogs auto-ping, so I figured I’d try this.
I’m way behind on my e-mail, news and RSS reading, and I’ll try to get some content up tomorrow.
100 Worst Porn Movie Titles
Some of this stuff is downright scary, disturbing, and disgusting and apparently they’re all real movie titles (which is even more disturbing). Link via b3ta.
Sims Torture
One thing about the realistic AI in simulation games is how much fun it can be to torture the characters in them.
Best Flash Intro Ever
David Hasselhoff fans are truly a….uh….unique group of folks. Check out this fan site. I can only think that when they created that Flash intro (and it’s worth the long download wait), they were doped up on a crap-load of powerful drugs. Link via b3ta.
Amazing Adobe Illustrator Art
These look exactly like photos, but they’re all vector images done with Adobe Illustrator. Amazing. Link via somewhere that I forgot to note when I flagged this link a while back.
200 Questions
I don’t usually follow these types of memes, but this one requires me just hitting Ctrl-B in SharpMT for my answers, as well as some simple copy/pasting, so I figured I’d give it a whirl (in other words, if you want me to post a meme or something along those lines, make it easy for me). I got it from Ken, who got it from Neil who got it from Daisy. The following is 200 statements, and the ones that apply to me are in bold.
Diplomatic Immunity is Crap
A Paris policeman was injured in an incident involving a son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi after the son (Hannibal) ran several stop lights and was pulled over. His bodyguards were detained, but he was let free.
I Want a REAL Debate
The debate tonight won’t truly be a debate. It will be about style more than substance (use freethepress/freethepress to get in). Again, this won’t be a debate. Thanks to an extensive contract we won’t be able to see much of anything that really matters in the grand scheme of things — they even have restrictions on the camera angles used so we can’t see the opponents reaction to what the speaker says. Stupid? Yes. Replace this bi-partisan crap with a real debate and get more of the parties involved (there are more than two candidates, you know).
Oh well. At least the Associated Press is ready with their story.
Auto Patching Windows
I actually saw this mentioned in my last Maximum PC magazine, and wanted to mention it here, mostly for bookmark purposes.
Autopatcher is an all-in-one updater for Windows 2000, XP, and 2003. If you’re sick of going to Windows Update all the time, this includes every patch and update from Windows Update as well as a pile of registry tweaks, add on software, and other cool stuff. I just plan on burning this to a CD to bring to when I do a service call, and call it good.
The same group also has an Autostreamer, which gives you a slick interface to slipstream and create a new Windows installation CDs that are updated with the latest service pack. Dang cool.
