Going back over my old archives. Everyone should take a look at Episode 4’s link.
I think you’ll be impressed.

Looking through my referrals listing, someone actually was looking for the best browser to use while looking at porn. Because apparently to some people, this is imporant stuff. Only the optimal porn experience is good enough!
So, this is what you are looking for. Pornzilla - Why Firefox is the best porn browser will give you what you need to make the comparison, although it is probably biased.

Control. Firefox blocks unrequested pop-ups and never allows web pages to create hard-to-close full-screen windows. Firefox gives you options to prevent web sites from resizing and focusing windows.
Security. Malicious web sites can never install spyware without your permission. Wank in peace.
Privacy. Everything you might want to clear in order to cover your tracks — cookies, cache, download history, history — is in one place in Options. Firefox even provides a “Clear All” button to clear all of this information quickly.
Extensibility. The Pornzilla bookmarklets and extensions can improve your porn surfing experience far beyond what any browser vendor would dare.
New windows open quickly.
Firefox has an image-rendering library called “libpr0n” and a cute, unofficial mascot named Firefox-ko. Firefox grew out the Mozilla Suite, whose codename is “Seamonkey” (see monkey). One of Mozilla’s slogans is “free the lizard”.

There are less than 6 days left… then Doctor Who will be back on the air!!!

I’m not the die-hard Doctor fan that my wife is, but I did enjoy certain aspects of the original series. My loving bride is a big Tom Baker supporter… while I’m partial to the Sylvester McCoy years. Differences aside… we are both very pleased to see that the series returning.

I have high hopes that Christopher Eccleston will do justice to the role of “The Doctor”. Judging from his previous roles, I find him to be talented.

Plus… Billie Piper is a babe. I don’t know if she can act… but who cares?! <Just kidding… sort of.> I’m told that she’s an accomplished actress, and did quite well in her performance as Alison Crosby in “The Canterbury Tales”. I haven’t seen this edition of the story yet, but I look forward to it.

My only beef is that the series doesn’t seem to be airing over here in the Colonies. We’re stuck waiting for the UK to sell it to PBS…

OR… perhaps someone from across the pond could be so kind as to capture the Epz to MPG?!?!?!

<hint> <hint> <nudge> <nudge> Know what I mean? Know what I mean?!

Typically you would think of waffles.  Not breakfast cereal.  No, that isn’t coconut or sugar on my peanut butter puffs.  Thats frozen milk.  Gotta adjust the damn refridgerator now…

My oldest daughter is fast becoming a big Wonder Woman fan.  I was never big on the amazon princess myself, but I am a long time comic book fan… so I like the idea of having a little something in common with my daughter.

This evening, I was checking out CNN’s website to see if there was any news worthy of my time.  During my visit, I discovered that Joss Whedon (Creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel… and my personal favorite… Firefly) is starting a new project.

Joss Whedon is preparing to bring Wonder Woman to the silver screen.

I enjoy comic-films… so I guess I’ll be seeing this one with my daughter by my side!

But it is still good stuff when you’re a soldier at war.

GIPizza.com will let you send pizza and pepsi (although Coke is better, I guess pepsi is barely better than toilet water) to troops in the Gulf and Middle East.

Anyways, I had the… uhhh… pleasure… of hitting a Pizza Hut while serving my time in the sandbox.  My score card?

Dough:  Pretty Good.
Sauce:  Better than I expected.
Toppings:  Not bad, though you can’t get sausage, pepperoni, or other products made from Piglet.
Cheese:  Uhhh… was it cheese?  Apparently it was Goat cheese.  Which is, shall we say, an aquired taste.

But you know what… it was still pizza.  And the Pizza rule still applies:  Sex is like pizza.  When it is good, it is great.  When it is bad, it is still pretty good.

Ahh there is a site out there to pays tribute to Chad’s huge pet-peeve.. sitcoms and when they reach that special point in their series, which has affectionately been termed "Jumping the Shark" (thanks to "Happy Days" for creating things easy to identify situation, to sitcoms!)

The site to see is: http://www.jumptheshark.com/ 

You can vote on the episode that you feel has made that show "Jump the Shark", search episodes.. and more.. really a cute and funny site..

It is so sad when shows over stay their welcome.. and continue on struggling and choking.. so the writers gather together "brainstorming" (which seems more like brain-farting) to create an all inspiring episode that will regain the audience back.. ok when these brainstorming sessions are needed perhaps they need to be aware that the show has died, and instead of torturing the poor thing just kill the episode then and there! sigh!

So enjoy that link..

News Flash!

Possibly Drunk Football Player Caught With Possibly Gay Sheep

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP)  An Oregon State (search) football had a stolen sheep in the bed of his pickup when he was pulled over for speeding last week, Benton County authorities said.

Defensive tackle Ben Siegert, 20, was charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants after failing field sobriety tests.

Siegert told the (Corvallis) Gazette-Times that he had nothing to do with the stolen ram.

“I don’t know anything about that,” he said. “I’m from a city. I don’t know anything about sheep.”

Benton County Undersheriff Diana Simpson disagreed, saying Siegert might have been “too intoxicated to remember.”

The 200-pound ram lives at the university’s Sheep Center, and is part of a study on homosexuality in sheep, said Sheep Center manager Tom Nichols.

“We have at least one prank a year where we have to go to a dormitory or a sorority house and pick up a ram or a lamb or a ewe,” Nichols said. “It’s one of those springtime pranks.”

The deputy chose not to arrest anybody for taking the sheep.

All I have to say is: Jason, I knew you were travelling recently, but I thought you went to Florida, not Oregon.

Andre Norton, a very popular SciFi author, has died today.

Science fiction author Andre Norton, who wrote the popular “Witch World” series of books, died today at her home in Murfreesboro. She was 93.

The “Witch World” series, which detailed life on a planet reachable only through metaphysical gateways, included more than 30 novels.

Her last complete novel, “Three Hands of Scorpio,” is set to be released next month.

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America recently created the Andre Norton Award for young adult novels, and the first award will be presented in 2006.

I’ve read several of her books over the years. At least she lived a very long life!

And she was a woman pirate at that!
And in celebration of that, we link to IMAO with a few more fun facts about the Irish…

* The main drink of the Irish is Guinness. It was made when a grain silo burnt down but they made beer from it anyway so as not to have to drink British beer (the Brits are a bunch of wankers!). The Irish have been burning down silos and slurping down black sludge ever since.

* Some men don’t like the strong taste of Guinness. They’re called homosexuals.

* Irish as a prefix means “contains alcohol” such as Irish coffee, Irish cream, and Irishman.

Mmmm… I love Guinness. To me, it tastes like sand, but damn good sand…

Remember the ending of Red Dawn? The good guys fighting the Soviets are killed, but eventually the US military takes back control?

I have an alternate ending. We give them Washington state instead. They won’t even need any troops to pacify them, they’ll gladly surrender and turn in any resistance themselves. At least in the Seattle area. Why the animosity? This:

Three invited pro-military speakers were shocked last Friday when they arrived for a West Seattle High student assembly to confront a theater stage strewn with figures costumed as Iraqi men, women and children splashed with blood. "I was told there would be three on each side. No debates. No rebuttal," she said in the e-mail she fired off to members of the Seattle School Board. "At no time was I referred to a teacher nor did a teacher contact me. As I walked into the theater there was a young girl wearing a mask and crawling on the floor. And, over the loud speaker (someone) was denouncing our military, saying ‘Americans are killing my family!’ " Not a good thing for "impressionable students who may have family serving Iraq," Gulit told student organizers. "Two of our speakers had returned from Iraq and Afghanistan." With her speakers in tow, Gulit saw the bloodied figures on the floor. Stage right were students in orange Abu Ghraib-style prison jumpsuits, hoods over heads, pounding on plates with spoons. Next, a student dressed as a grieving Iraqi woman knelt near a bloody body while, over a microphone, a narrator wailed the story of civilians shot, kicked and beaten by American soldiers.

So far, at least none of the staff of the school admits to being aware of the content of the skit. But for some reason I sincerely doubt it.

Worst still, this was reported in the "Lifestyle" section of the paper. Personally, I think it should have been reported as hard news. Because it is, since the students are obviously being taught that antics like this makes for reasonable debate.

The obvious antidote to this kind of crap? No, no, lobotomies for lefties has already been tried, it just made things worse…  We just need to start having student exchange programs.  Not with England and France, but with North Korea, Iran, half the countries in Africa that are in complete chaos, and other hell holes throughout the world.  Time for a real education for these kids.

Thanks to Michele Malkin for the heads up…

Right Thinking tells us about the human pancake, Rachel Corrie:

And lest anyone be tempted to buy this “peace activist” bullshit, here’s America’s sweetheart teaching young Palestinian children the proper way to burn the American flag. Such a charming young lady, Hamas even named her a “blessed martyr.” At any rate, there’s been a new development in the case. Her parents have filed a lawsuit. Against who, you might ask. Against the Israeli government? Against the driver? No my friends, they’ve filed suit against Caterpillar.
The parents of a 23-year-old activist killed while trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home is suing Caterpillar Inc., the company that made the bulldozer that ran over her.
The federal lawsuit, which lawyers said would be filed here Tuesday, alleges that Caterpillar violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to Israeli Defense Forces that it knew would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.

So, I just hope that Caterpillar, Inc. has enough of a pair to countersue them, for raising a daughter so f*cking stoopid as to get blood all over the front of one of their bulldozers. I’m sorry, but she obviously rode the short bus to school…

Don’t I wish…

I know I sound like every other SciFi geek out there, but I thought it needed stating that Boomer has got to be the finest alien ever.

All through Season 1, she’s been strutting around the Galactica in a stiff uniform… or crawling through the mud with Helo… and through it all, Grace Park has managed to maintain an allure that keeps us coming back for more.

Maxim agrees with me… and recently did a spread (no pun intended) with Grace…

In a recent Microsoft article  on Security Myths, Jesper M. Johansson and Steve Riley made a point of spelling out a few common misconceptions in plain English.  I liked the article simply because it was written simply enough that even my manager understood it.  The following is my favorite part:

If you are one of the unfortunate people who get evaluated based on the number of settings you make, go ahead and make a bunch of these meaningless changes. Heck, invent a few of your own (everyone else seems to). The following are a few you could use without breaking anything:

• HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DisableHackers=1 (REG_DWORD)
• HKLM\Wetware\Users\SocialEngineering\Enabled=no (REG_SZ)
• HKCU\Wetware\Users\CurrentUser\PickGoodPassword=1 (REG_BINARY)
• HKLM\Hardware\CurrentSystem\FullyPatched=yes (REG_SZ)
• HKLM\Software\AllowBufferOverflows=no (REG_SZ)

I’m always in the market for a nifty piece of freeware… and am usually browsing about trying to find the next little gem.  (All the miscellaneous App installs is probably why I end up rebuilding my laptop every 2 or 3 months.)

Anyway… as a Systems Administrator with way too many machines… I’m always trying to find new toyz to make my life easier.  In keeping in that theme… I’ve recently re-discovered a simple, yet brilliant, little app that makes perusing the contents of your KVM switch 100 times easier.  I hadn’t used this App in a long time… and had clean forgotten about it.  Tonight… I stumbled upon it, and am so glad I did.

BgInfo is configurable to pull some relavent environmental variables from your machine, and turn them into a desktop background.  You can set it up once… or you can automate it to refresh on startup.

Tomorrow… I’m putting this little gem on every server I’ve got.

Finally, back home where I belong.
Kinda strange. Lots of people refer to “back home” as where the grew up, along with where they are currently living. Although I did really enjoy spending time with friends and family again, I was not “back home.” Psychologically, driving around places that I knew intimately seemed foreign still.
Even if I am not fully settled in around Colorado yet, it still feels just like where I was always supposed to be.
Thanks to Matt, Jason, Sarge, and Scott for coming out to ATC to say hi and have brunch. It was pretty damn good…
And to Tom for riding all over new frikkin’ jersey trying to find out where I had to get a birth certificate…

OK, so I am back on the east coast to get some things done. But first…
Thank you to the ladies manning the toll booths on E-470 around Delaware. Very nice and friendly, taking my money with a smile and a bit of small talk. It was very much appreciated.
Denver airport is a wonderful layout, very well planned.
Frontier Airlines: My new favorite! DirecTV onto 5″ lcd screens on every seat. Your choice of 24 channels, and free headphones. The most comfortable non-1st class seats I have ever been on. Wonderful flight attendants. Even good airline food! A very positive experience for me, someone who is very annoyed by having to fly anywhere in general.
Then it changed once we touched down on the east coast…
Landed at BWI in Baltimore. The first person I see after getting off of the plane is a woman airport employee at the gate who looked like she was ready to kill all of us. Very nasty expression on her face. Nice way to be greeted.
But that just set the tone. For some reason, our flight never showed up on the Arrivals board telling us where our checked luggage was to come out. Spent 20 minutes looking for one of the screens to have our flight information on it. No airport personnel had a clue about what was going on, they said our flight hadn’t landed yet, which is why we weren’t on the board. Ummm… yeah.
Finally by luck I saw one of the conveyor belts with my bag on it. The video screen that should have the flight information on it was completely blank.
BWI doesn’t have rental cars in the terminal like every other airport I have ever been to. You have to take a shuttle bus about 20 minutes to somewhere I hope I can find again to take the car back to.
To the Fort McHenry toll taker who gave me a nasty look for disturbing her when pulling up to her booth: You can kiss my ass, you cum sucking gutter slut. You don’t have to be such a complete bitch when someone pulls up to your booth, and says hi and thanks to you. If I didn’t want to just get to my destination, I would have complained, but you’re probably union and it would be a waste of my time. I hope you die from the fumes you have to suck in every day.
And Maryland drivers are just as horribly stupid as ever.
Just 5 more days till I get back home!
