SWR explains, expresses, extrapolates, and explodes.

sago nightmare revisited

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

For those of you that didn’t read my i don’t know much entry, this is about my experience with incompetence.
I have a server at sago, through their allmanaged division.
I have it with allmanaged so I don’t have to worry about managing it.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I am a fool for letting them do […]

the PR question

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

I have an ongoing experiment involving the Page Rank thing.
I’m mostly making this note to remind myself to check the results around mid-October.
I’ll post the results, as well as the steps taken, when the experiment is finished.
Sorry for being vague. But, I’d hate to tell anyone wrong. :angel:

the Silence of the Dog

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

In 1972, I had a faithful companion. Then we got married. :rofl:
Okay. Let’s get back to this dog.
Sarge was a 120lbs German Shepard that was the meanest German Shepard I’d met. Well, maybe ‘mean’ is a little strong. Let’s say that he was very protective.
I had two 4′x8′ signs on my property that clearly stated, […]

Mind Freak!

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Criss Angel freaks my mind!
Ever since the first airing of Mind Freak, I’ve been a huge fan of Criss Angel.
I’ve seen lots of magicians. But, never anyone as good as Criss.
He seems to have a knack for pushing things to new heights. Places that even illusionists would have thought impossible.
The thing about Criss Angel that […]

accounting problems

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

I guess I’m not the only one that has problems with accounting.
I just received a bill from my electric company (Consumers Power) that is 800% more than usual.
Okay. Oil costs more. It’s just common sense that electricity is going to cost more.
But, going from $200 a month to $1,600 a month?
I get […]

/me member

Saturday, August 20th, 2005

I don’t get to post much as a member of WHT. Of course, that could have something to do with my position.
I would love to have time to just surf and post. But, my hours are spent chasing spammers and scammers. And then there’s the bit about managing staff.
I had thought that […]

teh k1d5

Sunday, August 14th, 2005

I’m not sure who I consider lower . . . the script kiddies (obviously no brain power and no life) or the self-righteous pricks that make the scripts (and distribute them “for testing”).
Let me give it some thought.

Okay. Pretty sure it’s been proven; you’re both scum.

the SWR logo

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

Mikey sorted out the css madness of getting the logo to stick in the header box.
Now, I’m undecided about whether to use the globe in the background or just have the S alone (like it is for favicon).

Jim Plantess

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

I just renewed my driver’s license today. Not sure why. It only expired in December 2004.:eek2:
For some reason, maybe it was the construction going on down town, it reminded me of Jim Plantess.
I think it was 1971 that I was working on a harvest crew.
It was in my discovery days; exploring this country and her […]

smelly monkeys!

Friday, August 5th, 2005

That monkey that’s been on my back these past forty years (yes; I said forty years!) is starting to annoy me.
I knew that stop smoking was not going to be easy. But, I thought it would be easier.
I learn a little more every day about the addiction and triggers though.
Today, I learned that I need […]

the Pink Lynk thing

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

I have 200 different random Pink Floyd messages in my Pink Lynk.
When I first installed it, after typing out each line by hand, I had considered using bridge returns where they belonged; but opted for commas instead so everything fit in the box nicely.
I thought I’d give the line breaks a chance today.
All that editing […]

netware

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Since I had a time sorting this out, I thought I better write about it.
I had a computer running XP and couldn’t get it so I could use Fast User Switching. Which I didn’t really want to use. I just wanted to always boot up as Admin.
I kept getting the message, “Client Services for Netware […]
