    New Jersey Man Dies after Falling into Vat of Boiling Chocolate http://bit.ly/4skyNz
    gee, i wonder how they will market that ;-)
  • 2009.07.09 12:56: sip - what th ... ? why are all these people on my internet ?! look, they're building stuff all over ! cut it out, will ya ?
  • 2009.07.09 12:57: ... build one little highway, and see what happens ? digital clearcutting, not an untouched byte in sight
  • 2009.07.09 12:58: ... and the billboards, man - wasn't there a song about this from the 60s or something ? "f*ing up the scenery", all right
  • 2009.07.09 13:00: ... and don't get me started on the thermodynamics of this mess. available entropy doesn't grow on trees, y'know
  • 2009.07.09 13:08: ringing endorsement for my gae app: "Well, I've tried this thing......and it works" - an astounded customer
  • 2009.07.09 14:06: @snugbug
    @fractalnavel did no such thing; you'll have to talk to @sowacs ;-)
  • 2009.07.09 14:18: good chunks of last couple of days spent watching gae & python vids, and reading js book. pattern: code first, learn later ;-) eh, i do ok
  • 2009.07.09 14:22: i think - it's time to check out i-hop again. have a hankerin' for eggs, that sort of thing. sad that the local perkins is gone :'-(
  • 2009.07.09 14:22: morning coffee was not enough, time for second breakfast
  • 2009.07.09 15:26: @craigg75
    @fractalnavel Sad to hear the Perkins is gone.. ihop doesn't come close to it
    nope. everyone eats at highway exits now, i guess.
  • 2009.07.09 15:49: awstats: not every ua is either browser or bot; especially in today's web2.0 world, there are programmatic non-bot consumers to consider
  • 2009.07.09 15:50: likewise, mobile devices need a separate category too. thinking about it, seems like all analytics need to come up to speed on this stuff
  • 2009.07.09 15:52: of course, cookie/js powered analytics (e.g., google) will never see automated trafic of any sort. only your log analyzer knows for sure
  • 2009.07.09 15:54: @craigg75
    20% unemployment? That means1 out of 5 ppl you know is out of work... eh thats a strech
    must be nice not to be impacted. i, on the other hand - well, i grew up in detroit. 'nuff said.

    If Massachusetts had the same gun laws in 1775 that it has now, we'd all be Canadians. - P.J. O'Rourke
    and proud of it, eh ?
  • 2009.07.09 16:02: uh-oh - getting ready for another gae crash - for the last half hour, pings are consistently taking between 1 to 14 seconds - !
  • 2009.07.09 16:09: @klaatu
    Nurses use maggots and Manuka honey to fend off hospital superbugs http://bit.ly/ir0tN oil of oregano & colloidal silver also kill it.
    colloidal silver can turn you permanently blue, too - dem bugs are too skeered to bite
  • 2009.07.09 16:19: @craigg75
    @klaatu wasn't there some guy that consumed colloidal silver? turned his skin silver? seem to remember that once
    beat me to it by "that much" ;-)
  • 2009.07.09 16:22: gae: return to normal. geez, what the hell are they doing over there ?
  • 2009.07.09 16:50: @klaatu
    Banksters Love CapandTrade http://bit.ly/5SJ4W Yeah, they stand to make all the money trading derivative-like vaporware "carbon credits".
    "carbon credits". heh. like "carbon paper", only money ;-)

    how do companies like grooveshark make money? I'm listening to songs for free at the moment? does it cut out after awhile?
    once, a small group of us went on a night dive. it was great. we told everyone. the next night blew: everyone else was there. ...

    (maybe you shouldn't be bringing attention to these things, it only accelerates their demise.)

    Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Eugenicist http://ur1.ca/70vz
    there's nothing inherently wrong with eugenics, it's just that the implementations - even nature's - can be bothersome sometimes.
