I just got back from Bermuda.

Yes, I met up with our friend who lives there.

Yes, things were great.

Yes, I'll post more about all that soon, and with pictures and stories, and funny things.

But, before I get to all that - I had to get this out there. I shot this on our cruise ship.

heliocentric writes, "The Register has a story about the Dell Tech Force web promotion that has been in action for some time. Dell hired Maverick Productions to create a pair of cartoons that mock "the leviathans of Big Iron." The playful animations are knock offs of the "Team America" film and are aimed right at Unix server sellers Sun Microsystems, IBM and HP. However, t

First, we solved the booze problem with a very nice wood liquior cabinet. All I need is to get some glass cut for the top to keep the bar-tending nice and tidy and we're all set. Photos.

As a relatively new alcoholic I've been enjoying many of the fruits from the booze tree. The libations have been enjoyed frequently and we're always seeking out new things.

To grow our collection we follow some simple rules for replacement. When a bottle goes empty, at least one of the following conditions must be met when purchasing a replacement:

I checked the FAQ, I searched a bit on google, and I posted to the mozilla/firefox forum, but I still haven't found anything. Thus, I turn to the JE community.

Downloading, use of shortcuts (windows)

This seems to be a problem with the newer mozilla/firefox releases, but I'm not sure when it crept in.

Following is my tale about my trip with luvsbway to NYC the other day (April 16, 2005) to try and see DRS with Joanna Gleason.

So, I bought a mannequin.

Yes, a mannequin.

It's for my dress.

Yes, I have a dress.

Shutupaboutit.

I don't wear it. In fact I don't think it could ever fit me. It's an actual movie prop from Boogie Nights. It's Joanna's dress.

Well, we had some fun with the cat and the mannequin the day I got it.

As some of you may know I'm a big fan of the actress Joanna Gleason. Probably even more of you have never heard of her, but you've probably seen her in something. Check out joannagleason.com for bio and role information.

As you may recall I had surgery on my wrist. This left me in a cast with three pins holding my arm together. Yay me! Well, more like, "Yay vicodin."

So, yesterday was the big day. I got my cast off and the pins removed. And, being weird, I took another weird guy from work with me and a digital camera.

While I'm still typing with a stump, I had to share two interesting train pictures.

The first one is of a neat engine set. These were recently restored, and during a night on the town with friends luvsbway spotted them and got all excited. To which the one friend, obviously not appreciating them, responded, "Yeah, two of them."

So, I thought Wednesday was sole trying when I learned that I need surgery. I was all mope-y around the house. Scared, then annoyed and worried, and then really worried and scared again. Recovery time it going to be enormous, so there's no way I'll be reading or writing anything on the computer for quite some time to come. I'm not worried about the operation, just the arduous recovery.

Steam - it is the greatest lure of railroading. It is a mystery: part danger, part love. When a train runs on steam there is a different smell, a taste to the air, and definitely a deeper feeling.

Sorry, I just love steam power. Sure, it is nearly Flintstone Technology (TM) with its age, but any one of the latter steam engines had more horsepower than two or three modern super diesels put together. Steam wasn't replaced due to lack of power; it was the maintenance costs that got it.

So, if you recall, in this previous journal I was talking about a friend who made by hand four engines. You may also recall that two of them were cosmetically altered leaving only two of the style I so desperately admire. Of the two, my good friend Bob owns one. The other appeared lost to history.

So, in my job at work I am hopefully migrating into more of a trainer role. As part of that job I will be working to better my department as well as another. This would include training new hires as well as bettering the existing staff.

In order to find weaknesses within our staff I would be monitoring some of our staff's customer interactions and then grading them. Fine and dandy.
