Thanks - I'll check 'em out.
Books. I am an avid reader of sci fi and fantasy, and man, most recommendations out there just BLOW.
Hey do you fancy being a personal recommendation engine for a minute? I love Neal Stephenson - who else should I check out?
I'm living in a non-english speaking country at the moment so rely on amazon for book buying, and I'm waayyyy out of touch.
I was with Dreamhost a few years ago, too. I switched away to a VPS around the same time some doofus there ran a script that charged everyone for a full year's worth of hosting
I've been with dreamhost for 10 years and I was effected by that, but it didn't really bother me because they sorted it out quickly and the card was re-credited pronto. They had another nightmarish dns disaster a few years back that took them a couple of days to sort out - but look, stuff happens, and I've always appreciated their honesty and regular status updates.
Fact is, if your website is mission-critical you shouldn't be going with shared hosting anyway - but for my purposes (personal and a not-for-profit club site) it's been just fine. The support is excellent - I have just been emailing with them over the last couple of days about some plans for the club site, and I even got responses back over the weekend.
Actually - I once went to slashdit.org by accident and there were ads there. Don't know who is making money from that.
It also displayed that tired old assumption that only "guys" come to slashdot. It's bad enough going to an ad site without being called a "computer-type guy".
I would agree - nothing sexier than a man who can cook!
In fact even if you can't cook - an array of yummy finger foods from a fancy deli with a nice bottle of wine is just fine.
Oh we exist, it's just some of us would never, ever go out with a geeky guy.
Don't get me wrong - I love geeky guys... as friends. Just never been attracted to one. All boyfriends and eventual husband have worked in non-tech fields. I get enough computers at work - don't need to talk about them at home too.
I could not care less about valentine's day. Maybe it's because I'm not american but I've always thought it the most worthless piece of blatant commercial bullshit. Mother's day is only slightly less pointless (and I'm also a mother).
I expect a bit of fuss on my birthday, and hubby and I always, always book a babysitter and go out on our anniversary, and we both have a thing about starting the first second of the new year with a big kiss.... but valentine's day? Fergeddit - I don't need hallmark to tell me when to be romantic!
I could bite, but really, what's the point?

while they're stuck indoors wasting all of their money and hard work on nagging, domineering wives and screaming, crapping, defiant kids.
On the family negativism - it's not all bad. The other night I was reading Hitchhiker's to my 10yr old and he laughed so hard he fell off the couch. Then we went to youtube and watched some of the old tv episodes. He's also starting to get interested in computers and what I do for my job. Sure it can be hard when they're little, but having a kid around who gets a huge kick out of all my nerdy interests, and is also good fun to take camping, bike riding and x-country skiing, is worth all the sleep deprivation and potty nightmares he put me through years ago.
It's amazing how much crap is going on in their heads during sex.
Shopping lists, did the kids do their homework, did I put the bin out, what time do I have to get up tomorrow, something I watched on telly that night.... hmmm George Clooney, my husband is George Clooney.... no that doesn't work, I wouldn't want to be married to him anyway... I know, George Clooney being fucked by Brad Pitt, now there's an image, yeah baby, do it!
It is EASILY felt with ones finger in the upper wall of the vagina, as a slightly more dense, raised portion.
That's the cervix! And I don't like anyone touching that.
