Just Stuff/OTA
Not in a blogging mood. What?!? Are my non-existant “sponsors” gonna drop me or something? *heh* So, this is a linkfest (more about that below the wandering rabbit trails that follow) and a semi-random buncha stuff. You decide which is more useful. 
So, another dump off of computer junk. One useful thing, though, was a MessySoft “Internet Keyboard Pro” with a “whole lotta lumps” (shortcut buttons) and a bifurcating cable with both PS/2 and USB. The USB connection makes it serve as a hub, as well. Useful, especially when connected to a computer without front USB ports (yeh, antique). You’d think I’d have enough keyboards, what with 15 17 others (just spotted two more here in the office, hiding out over to my left ) NOT connected to computers held in reserve. But, no. Never have enough reserve keyboards and mice, right? Who knows when a keyboard may bite the dust, or just need a trip through the dishwasher? (Almost ditto on “spare” monitors, right?)
While I’m in a compgeeky mode of thought, anyone else going to see if servers are swamped with attempts to download Ubuntu 7.04 on Thursday? That’s assuming it makes it’s projected release date. The RC was supposed to be out LAST Thursday, but got held up. Anywho, it promises some neato-keano stuff, like a tie-in with Linspire/Freespire’s Click n Run application installation and easier setup of media apps. Sounds like it’s truly getting closer to Joe Schmoe and Aunt Tilly ready.
The shooting at Virginia Tech? I’m with Ferdy on this one. All the bloviation of politicians and Mass Media Podpeople isn’t worth listening to. I’ll wait on the shake-out of info. One thing, though: if the victims hadn’t been universally UNarmed, the story would likely be quite different, eh?
Yesterday, the annual reinforcement of the lessons of serfdom was once again driven into we who were born free… Well, weren’t we? *sigh* Maybe that is another myth.
*heh* Russel Seitz: An Inconvenient Tree. Algore is probably chewing hi shorts (the things was written originally as an op-ed in the WSJ)
Not gloating, but evidence seems to indicate that politicians’ *spit* “I’m so special the law doesn’t apply to me” thinking had better at least consult the laws of physics before going 91mph in a 65mph zone… Oh, BTW, meant to include it earlier, but here it is now:
“The state trooper-driven sport utility vehicle was in the left lane with its emergency lights flashing… “
[More addendum] Yeh, but there was no “emergency”–just cops and politicians abusing their powers. Sometimes karma’s a bitch, Governor Corzine. He could have left on time for his meeting with Don Imus and the Rutgers women. Heck, being late for that media fluff event doesn’t qualify as a justifiable reason for the excessive speed and “emergency lights” use. And the tired old “doing it for security reasons” is a sick joke. It was all about casual, commonplace, everyday, quotidian *heh* abuse of power/position.
Ah, well, there’s an awful lot of other stuff going on out there in this Brave New World, but I’ll just let it slide for now.
Call it Spring Fever, if you will.
