will scan the university network and see if the MAC pops up. **** everything is
totally screwed up now. The whole system went unstable during a live simulcast
(and we are talking about a system that puts out 1000000 lbs of force). There
were state senators there and everything. Just can't wait to see what the fallout
from this is going to be. :mad:
Anybody ever feel like it it time to quit your job?
Hang in there. If they do find the dork, you can always take out your anger on him :) (I enjoy doing that sometimes :) .)Quote:

Alas, good backup habits are oft the result of pain.... Ever since I got a DVD-R/W on my laptop, I make a platter each night when I get back to the hotel. I do NOT carry the platters with me during the trip and I mail them home (NOT carried).
99% of the time, they go straight in the trash when they arrive as everything has been properly integrated in the "main" systems. But I have the security of knowing I am 100% covered for most things except a Major fire in the hotel while I am sleeping there and can not grab the platters (or laptop) on the way out of the room.
Nothing like a nice relaxing night at a Detroit Piston's game to put all your troubles behind you.....
I spent a year in Philadelphia one week. It was closed. I guess I should have called ahead for reservations. :( :cry:
Are you serious about that mailing thing?Quote:

It snowed here for the first time this morning. Thus begins the most dangerous season in Maryland as our *cough* drivers learn once again how not to negotiate snow covered roads.
/Terps beat Florida State in OT wOOt!!!
Ah yes, I remember it well. 2 inches of snow and everything closes down for a week. We had our first major snow over a week ago. It was 1 degree F (-17 C) when I woke up on Sunday. COOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDdd and windy. The dog was loving it.
ahh 1 or 2 inches equals this today:Quote:

Spokesman Chuck Jackson at AAA Mid-Atlantic said his agency has had more than 100 calls for help since 11 p.m. Sunday night. Some of the emergencies involved cars that went off the road and needed a tow, while many others involved frozen locks. Jackson says most of the calls in the region came from Northern Virginia, D.C., and the I-95 corridor between Washington and Baltimore.
Jackson expects AAA will get between 200 and 300 calls an hour Monday morning.
Just want to continue with this :) cause it's like a Maryland thing...

Our say: Editor's notebook
By THE CAPITAL EDITORIAL BOARD
IT'S HERE -- This year the arrival of winter weather in this area, with a dusting of snow leading to icy conditions Sunday night and Monday morning, just barely beat out the formal arrival of winter - the winter solstice - on Tuesday.
Icy conditions on local roads were blamed for at least 120 accidents, mostly minor.
Someday we hope a bright medical researcher, perhaps at Johns Hopkins, finds the gene responsible for what we call Maryland motorist seasonal amnesia: The inability of so many state drivers to remember, from one winter to the next, how much care is necessary to maneuver cars on ice and snow.
In the first hours of the first storm, the roads are always filled with motorists who, though they sport Maryland tags, seem to have spent their entire driving lives in South Florida.
Sigh... we don't get much snow in Belgium... if it even snows... :(
We sure are getting our fair share of religious nutjobs spamming the forums as of late...must be the new year thing...
That is all...go back to being bored.
Ohh yea...hey Tom I think I met your cousin the last weekend...

I went walking with the dogs last night. The temperature got to 59 Degrees F and then went to 18 Degrees F. The sidewalks were covered with patches of ice. It was treacherous.
Only 18 degrees? I hate sun, I hate the hot. -18 degrees, no wind and I am happy ... :p :)Quote:

Keep in mind that 59 degrees F =15 degrees C and 18 degrees F = -8 degrees C.Quote:

A knee slapper. When I was going to Oakland U for my master's degree I didn't even know what the team mascot was. I predict the Golden Grizzlies will go down in the first round. :eek:
