Okay, I’ll admit it; I have “just a little” problem with boredom from time to time. My most recent boredom “project” is Textpattern on a vps account with Fivebean, hence the title, but I’ll get to that later.

The Tivo that tried to Bite the Dust · Sep 26, 08:43 AM

Back in 2nd grade my favorite time of day was “Show ‘n’ Tell”. I’d get to expound on the boring little details of my life that nobody cared about. In Show ‘n’ Tell I had a captive audience.

“My dog got in a fight with a woodchuck this mornin’. There was blood everywhere! I never seen so much blood!”
“Eeeeouuuuu.”
or
“Yesterday my dog found a dead skunk covered with maggots. After he rolled in it awhile, boy did he stink!”
“Eeeeeeoouuuuu..”
or
“Last week my dog started humping the milk man’s leg. Does that mean he’s a homo?”
“That’s just about enough, Mister!!”

Nowadays, we don’t have Show ‘n’ Tell, but we have blogs. Of course the “captive” audience that follows a blog kind of relates to how good the blog is. In other words, the old “if a tree falls in the arctic and there was nobody to hear it, did it really make a noise” maxim can certainly apply to blogs.

Reflections on a 7th Window · Aug 6, 05:53 PM

Or, if Vista is the new Windows ME, does that make Windows 7 the new XP?

Well, “Vista ha been very very good to me.” I ain’t complainin’, plus it was free. But I had the 32 bit version on my pc and decided I needed to try something in 64 bit that was maybe a little newer. After all, Vista 32 could only see 3 of my 4 gigs of RAM, and my dual core processor could easily handle a 64 bit os.

Did Somebody Move Me to the Old Fart Side of Town when I Wasn't Looking? · Jun 12, 08:12 PM

It’s pretty bad when I have to look up my login and password here. What’s it been, six months? More?

Anyway, Comcast came by today to swap out my modem because my area had been upgraded to Docsis 3.0, meaning I could enjoy 50/10 mbps internet (at $139/mo? No thanks) or 22/5 mbps internet at $10 more than I’m paying now (yeah, ok). Which is pretty hard to figure out anyway, since with their digital voice phone and HDTV, I get so many discounts that figuring out the monthly bill is pretty much impossible.

So, that would make it time for the obligatory “Yawn, ho hum” post about a speed upgrade. I guess, since it wasn’t all that long ago that my connection crawled along at 9600 baud and the upgrade to 56 kb was so exciting, that “Yawn, ho hum” for the various megabit variations had some possible meaning.

Saying so long to the Dark Side · Nov 15, 05:59 PM

At least for my business email. And it’s sad in a way; like an era has passed. Yeah, I know, everybody’s got problems, quit bitchin’. But when eras change, sometimes, somebody makes note of it; other times they just fade away. Yeah, take it Buddy:
“I’m gonna tell you how it’s a gonna be…,..
You’re gonna give your love to me……
Love can last more than one day……
Love a-real not fade away…….
Love a-real not fade away……”
