Okay, so it's only still officially the first of November in a time zone or two. The late post is partially because I wanted to actually watch The Daily Show for once and partially because I took so long to find the damn CD.

The world is flat.

There are a few dozen or so infidels across the land who are planting seeds of an appaling fabrication, saying the world is not the center of the universe but rather it orbits the sun.

Ludicrous!

They say the moon in turn orbits the world (at least it's not entirely delusional) and that occasionally the world passes BETWEEN the moon and sun, casting its shadow on the moon, a spectacle ultimately visible from the ground.

Better late than never

This morning we had breakfast and bought dog food. When we arrived at the checkout counter, the girl who helped us had a--forgive me if there is a more politically correct term--lazy eye.

At least hopefully it's less stupid. I keep finding this in my web server log. It only happens when I'm browsing slashdot. There's definitely a cause and effect thing going on here, but what is it?

66.35.250.150 [timestamp] "GET http://slashdot.org/ok.txt HTTP/1.0" 404

It'll occur maybe once per /. session, but this second will happen frequently (~7 in 1d12 </BlastFromPast>) while I'm slashdotting:

I am a complete noob and dolt, and I've removed the proof.

*smacks forehead*

To quote turg from a few months ago, "Google is your friend."
Note: This /|\ was a very fun afternoon. Visit if you have an hour to kill.

Hogwash McFly and I are the only people on /. who find this funny. Damit. update: Okay, someone with mod points finally found it.

And loucura! tickled my geeky funny bone yesterday when I read this.

Damit.

I've been really good at my "sparingly" approach to distractions (including /.) lately. At least I thought so. I stayed logged in for a few days and noticed in blinder's JE about Ep III that I have mod points again. I feel bad for letting so many points expire in the last couple-three months, so I'm going to try to get them all done in the next (insert timespan here).

Recently disillusioned by Register.com but needing to register another couple domain names, I'm wondering where some of my ./ friends might recommend to send my hard-earned cash in exchange for another little chunk of cyber-heaven.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

• MOM: Shouting does NOT somehow reinforce or bolster the signal to or from your mobile phone when you're in an area with less-than-ideal service! It will NOT allow me to hear you any better!

  Please note that some may dispute this claim before realizing they have confused the definition of "better" with the definition of "louder"

• VisorGuy (see here), for his clever reference to a geeky cult movie in his sig, "Hallo, My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill -9 my process. Prepare to die!" Congratulations on your five years, too.
• bethanie, for her supportive words to both me and my friend Sam

This JE should actually be called "My son was 21 yesterday, but it didn't sound as good.

We had no beer, no party. In three months he'll be 24, and we'll do it then.

I suck.

Four people took time from their day to reply to a Journal Entry I made, and I've waited over a month to respond. If you are one of those four, and you still care about a reply, you'll see it below. And I'm sorry.

Except sedawkgrep, you're just a lamer.

Okay, I found out a couple days ago that the band has a gig tonight. It was booked by some friends of ours, with their band opening for ours. Since I worked at the shop all day--and since I didn't get off my ass last night--I didn't get to post this in time to get any feedback before the "point of know return." :(

However, I'm still very interested in the opinion of friends who are completely uninvolved with the situation. Please let me know what you think.

Some of you know that I play the git-fiddle (blinder and my uncle are the only two I've ever seen use that term, besides me and sedawkgrep, but we got it from my uncle).
