I was born in 1982.

Therefore, I made the value of copper increase.; October 7, 2007 at 1:24 PM
_J_ said...: So, went back to the comic shop. Here is what happened.

Went to the store. She was in the back of the centeral island area sorting comics. So I looked around, went back there and talked to her. We talked for a little bit about the comic I purchased before and Sandman, which is apparently delightful and not for usual comic fans. She thinks I would enjoy it. So, I'm apparently not a usual comic fan in her mind. Presumably this is good.

Then she has to check someone out. So she goes to do that and I wander around so as not to cramp her. After she rings the person up she goes back to sorting.

It's a fairly small store, so if she wanted to continue the discussion she could start talking again and I would hear her. But she doesn't so I just peruse the selections for a while. Then I say "See you later." to her and she looks up and says "You're leaving?" To which I say "Yeah, I think so." And she says, "See you later, then. Tallyforth."

So it's not the case that when I'm in the store she feels compelled to talk to me and seek me out, as it were, but it is also not the case that when I leave she's indifferent.

I think I would be in a good position to befriend her were we capable of talking sometime outside of the store. I'll probably go back after I get my tonsils out and see what happens. It's probably the case that my god-damned tonsils are holding me back.

So, for now, I'm going to get drunk on the remains of my Soy Vodka (which is shit) and watch The Office.; October 7, 2007 at 5:41 PM
Christina said...: Bad timing on the person wanting to check up and interrupt the flow.

I like that she said "tallyforth." That's freaking awesome.; October 7, 2007 at 7:56 PM
_J_ said...: Yes. She's awesome.; October 7, 2007 at 8:38 PM
Christina said...: Dawww...; October 7, 2007 at 9:00 PM
The_Jolly said...: I second Christina's comment; October 7, 2007 at 10:36 PM
Roscoe said...: You might find Sandman good.. you might also find it deeply frustrating to your.. unique.. temperment.

But you can pretend otherwise, if to catch the lady's eye, right?; October 7, 2007 at 11:27 PM
_J_ said...: I perused the volumes of Sandman and was struck by the artwork. Not struck in a good way, mind you.

So I will read the wikipedia page today and see what the fanboys say.; October 8, 2007 at 9:22 AM
_J_ said...: Do any of you have experience with .htaccess?; October 8, 2007 at 10:45 AM
_J_ said...: Today's Youaredumb.

BUT I'M STILL PAYING ATTENTION! I'M STILL MAD!; October 8, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Roscoe said...: Yeah.. today's YAD is spot on.

dunno about HTA.. what's it for? gimme context.

and.. Sandman.. the art's good for what it evokes... less so for clearly telling a story in some spots, but some of that is early-getting-comic off the ground, and some of that is simply not what Sandman is about.

You might really like it.. but.. I'd reccommend torrenting it, giving it a read, and then deciding to buy or not.; October 8, 2007 at 12:21 PM
_J_ said...: .htaccess is something Kyle might know about. I'm trying to set up a page redirect thing and can't get it to work.

I need to be able to direct users to pages based upon data they enter. So if they type "loggerhead" in this popup box and hit "ok" it will send them to mysite.com/loggerhead.

I wouldn't think this would be all that difficult.; October 8, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Kylebrown said...: nope, sorry haven't done anything with htaccess. My html experience all relates to webapp frameworks with deeper logic. The simple stuff scares me....; October 8, 2007 at 1:17 PM
_J_ said...: Poo.; October 8, 2007 at 1:23 PM
Roscoe said...: This sound right, Jay?

"Listen, here is how Singstar works. You get a bunch of people who say "no, no, not me, I will never sing, I'll watch but I'm not interested in singing." You give them one go, after they get drunk enough to have a try because "shit that's my favourite song" and after that you will NEVER GET THEM OFF IT. Singstar is brilliant."; October 8, 2007 at 1:36 PM
_J_ said...: It was right until

and after that you will NEVER GET THEM OFF IT. Singstar is brilliant.

1) Don't say "get them off", ever, unless you mean it that way.

2) There's no sustaining value of Singstar. Yes, I can sing along with The Cure. Great. Now what can I do now that the novelty has worn off?

I'll grant the "People don't play it, then they get drunk and they do play it for a while" idea, but there's nothing to keep a person playing, no quality gameplay that sustains a person for multiple sessions.

Unless it is possible to see Singstar as some kind of Guitar Hero, as a skill that one desires to improve upon. Because I can play More Than a Feeling forever and not get tired of it. But Singstar will maybe last two times through a song, and then i'm bored.; October 8, 2007 at 2:53 PM
_J_ said...: Forced Fruition; October 8, 2007 at 11:12 PM
_J_ said...: First of may, first of may...; October 8, 2007 at 11:39 PM
Caleb said...: are those links somehow related?; October 9, 2007 at 10:41 AM
_J_ said...: In no way are they related.; October 9, 2007 at 11:02 AM
_J_ said...: There is an audio book of I Am America (And So Can You) which is shouted by Stephen.

glee.; October 9, 2007 at 2:59 PM
Roscoe said...: I just want to proclaim that Bacon is indeed the most wonderous of meats.; October 9, 2007 at 3:16 PM
Andrew said...: wait... bacon isnt a fruit?
this throws off my piramid; October 9, 2007 at 3:36 PM
_J_ said...: I'm going to construe that as a Yu-Gi-Oh reference.; October 9, 2007 at 3:45 PM
Andrew said...: it was actually in reference to Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl.

or was it the simpsons? i cant remember; October 9, 2007 at 4:27 PM
_J_ said...: I totally got something to work on the website that hasn't worked for 3 years.

And now it's live, and nobody else in the office cares.

AWESOME!; October 9, 2007 at 4:40 PM
_J_ said...: I need to find a way to turn "guy on the couch" into a viable life path.; October 9, 2007 at 5:58 PM
MA17 said...: I totally got something to work on the website that hasn't worked for 3 years.

You got yourself to work on the website?

And now it's live, and nobody else in the office cares.

Oh, so it's probably not you. Hmm...what did you get working?; October 9, 2007 at 11:10 PM
_J_ said...: I'd like to be able to choose to be crazy. Just decide that I want to be mentally estranged from reality and then, like, hit myself in the head with a hammer and just be mentally estranged from reality. Or even skip the hammer. Just decide "I want to be crazy now" and then be crazy.

Then I could sit at my desk at work and not mind so much, because, mentally, I'd be in my bed staring at the ceiling.

That would be nice.; October 9, 2007 at 11:16 PM
_J_ said...: Oh, so it's probably not you. Hmm...what did you get working?

Page redirection based on login. For the Rep site certain folders are only accessable to certain usernames, but they had to manually get there by clicking buttons, etc. Now I can have those pages appear based upon their usernames. So they just enter their username once and then their pages load.

God, kill me.; October 9, 2007 at 11:17 PM
MA17 said...: That is awesome. I can't believe nobody else cares.; October 9, 2007 at 11:58 PM
Caleb said...: impressive indeed.; October 10, 2007 at 8:24 AM
_J_ said...: The guy who sits next to me at work finished Halo 3 last night. So I now know how Halo 3 ends. Which means that I don't have to play it to be conversant in it.

Woo.; October 10, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Roscoe said...: He beat it on Legendary, yes?

in other game news for some of your miserablists -

http://kotaku.com/gaming/new-pokemon/new-pokemon-title-announced-for-wii-ware-service-309034.php

That's right. No HTML coding. Not for you.; October 10, 2007 at 11:35 AM
_J_ said...: Roscoe is stupid.

Nintendo are taking this Wii Ware business seriously. At their Fall Press Conference today they announced a new Pokemon title for the service, called Pokemon Bokujyou. As in, Pokemon Farm. As in, the very raw essence of Pokemon. The point is that Pokefans can transfer their Pokemans (from Diamond or Pearl) to the Wii, and once there they can tend to them. Raise them. Perhaps even snuggle them, all on their very own Pokemon farm. Sounds idyllic. But looks a little...unsettling.

Gasp? Glee!; October 10, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Roscoe said...: Sure, I'm stupid, but I bring you Joy.

I am but a fool, fop, and minstrel for you.

.... freaking puppet. DANCE! DANCE TO MY TUNE!; October 10, 2007 at 3:04 PM
_J_ said...: Dick Cheney's wife will be on The Daily Show Tonight.

Let me say that again.

Dick Cheney's Wife will be on The Daily Show tonight.; October 10, 2007 at 3:39 PM
_J_ said...: Anyone know how to find the WEP for a computer that is connected to a wireless network?

Sibling uses WiFi in her apartment for some god awful reason. The computer I'm on now is connected but sibling doesn't know her WEP key.

ANy ideas for how I can find it on this machine?

I've tried to log onto the router but can't find the username/password.; October 12, 2007 at 12:46 PM
Caleb said...: I'd just push the little forgetfulness button on the bottom of teh router.

the default user/pass is probably admin admin or administrator administrator or blank; October 12, 2007 at 2:04 PM
Kylebrown said...: I use wifi at my house, and it totally kicks ass; October 12, 2007 at 2:30 PM
Roscoe said...: Freaking Hell, the 'Siedler has shown again.; October 12, 2007 at 2:30 PM
Kylebrown said...: also if it is a linksys router, the login is no username, with password of admin.; October 12, 2007 at 2:31 PM
_J_ said...: Sibling woke up so I could go in and run a cable out here.

I've no idea why a person would choose to base their home network on WiFi. Considering a microwave can screw it up.

I like cables. I like running cables. I like not worrying about jpgs sailing through me if i'm sitting between a router and a computer.

Stuffs.; October 12, 2007 at 2:56 PM
Kylebrown said...: It's not hard to check what frequency your microwave runs on and change the channel your router broadcasts over to remedy this situation....; October 12, 2007 at 3:32 PM
_J_ said...: really...; October 12, 2007 at 9:32 PM
