As I mentioned in my previous post – I owe Caz a shout out. Why?
Well she is the best Chicago Automotive Locksmith and also responsible for the delivery of a heavily (employee) discounted sound card to yours truly, namely the top of the line Creative X-Fi Elite Pro. Despite the stupid name, it is quite a nice sound card and fits in nicely with my new system.
Pandora is excellent – it just rocks – go try it, you won’t be sorry.
Then there’s Lifehacker – that rare kind of site that’s actually interesting. Related to the first because of this excellent article.
Finally, where did I find out about these things?
While getting my daily dose of Penny Arcade of course Oh, and don’t worry Caz, your shout out is coming – I just need to upload a couple of things….
YoungUncles It even has integrated blogging tools (writing this with them right now). After uploading a heap of photos I haven’t gotten near 5% yet, so all looks good so far. I think this is my favourite pic so far – now all I have to do is hope that my Uncles have internet access Technorati Tags: uncles, Stokes, 70’s, scans, pictures, flickr, flickr pro

Well, the festival (what I remember of it at least) was a blast. I threw up some pics from the phone here and I have to say, I’m thinking about going pro with Flickr – Gallery is good, but Flickr is soooo easy & convenient….
I know Joe beat me to the punch and has some much higher quality pics up already (part 1 no less!) so head on over there for even more entertainment.
Jenny is just back from gallavanting around Belgium (Gent) and Holland (Amsterdam) with Caroline. While she was off enjoying herself I was laid up with a pinched nerve or some such thing in my back. I don’t remember doing anything to hurt it, it just seemed to come out of nowhere and so the long weekend was a write off – I didn’t feel close to normal until yesterday evening. So my girlfriend parties in some amsterdam apartments while I am laid up at home – but am I bitter?
Just got done watching the Andre Agassi Vs Marcos Baghdatis match at the US open. What can I say – the guy is a stud, after it went to a fifth set I thought it was over for Agassi, but fate (and his conditioning) seems to be on his side at the moment.
When a 21 year old cramps up against a 36 year old in his retirement tournament, then the 36 year old deserves to win – glad I remembered it was on, haven’t enjoyed a tennis match that much since Ivanisevic finally won Wimbledon…….
With the switch to WordPress I realized that I would be able to import my old KillingMachines.org blog from the archive site that they kindly provided. I had tried to do it in the past, but the format (Movable Type) was no good for importing to blogger. Nice to get the old entries back Now i have evrything in here and i can use it.I am planning on buying some quality traffic from webtrafficgeeks too.
So, it was TK’s birthday on the weekend, when she turned (ahem!) 28, the (in)famous Johnny O was in attendance and I got to hear the JC Penney/Banana Republic bathroom story first hand. Yes, it is funnier when he tells it himself, and no I will not be repeating it Slight typo in the title – it should be Virgin Rules – and I’m referring of course to the upcoming festival in Baltimore that Ryan was good enough to bulk-purchase tickets for all of us in advance.
Update (10/17/06): I have created a static page with more detail for this issue since the post was generating quite a few hits.
Just got Ubuntu 6.06 running on a Sun Blade 150. Besides some RAM related weirdness – I had to remove one of the sticks of RAM to get it to boot and install – it went pretty smoothly. In fact it worked better than the Solaris 10 installation I had tried a couple of days ago.
Well, it has been a while – as usual following a flurry of activity on my part……
Just back from Ireland – I went for the oulfella’s 60th birthday party, here he is, in all his glory:
Despite slips from various people, he had no idea I was going to show, so it was a nice surprise and it coincided nicely with Jen’s temporary exile from the US. Besides having to hide in my Grandmothers until he left for Wexford, and the craziness in Philadelphia on the way home (just after the arrests in Heathrow) it was a very successful trip.
