windows explorer slowly, and with mockery, loops until the dreaded reboot

31 March, 2007 12:02

This would drive me nuts.  If it happened to me, I might be apt to stick a boot in one of the peripherals.  Good thing I haven't booted up a Windows operating system, without virtualization for years (except when using other, less enlightened boxes which are not of my own).

ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser, and others I have used

31 March, 2007 01:22

I ordered an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser a couple of weeks ago.  It has been running almost non stop since.  By far, this is the most efficient diffuser I have owned.

Quite a while I go I had a nebulizer with a stem like nozzle.  It worked great for thin oils, but if you tried to put something such as Vetiver in the thing, it is a waist of time and money.  It will clog the nozzle and you will have to replace the glass.

Then there is my electric diffuser.  Nice for a small room, but again, resin and other thick oils have a hard time diffusing on any type of cloth pad I used.

I also have a light bulb ring which I have been pretty happy with.  However, this creates a lot of heat, allowing the oil's properties to change state.

Back to the ultrasonic nebulizer..  It has a five setting timer and a dial to adjust the output of the water and essential oil filled tub.  The tub is lined with six, almost blue light type LEDs.  It only takes a few drops of essential oil and lasts, sometimes a day and a half, depending on the output setting.  It was a good buy indeed.

Yahoo! ups the anti with mail storage to infinity, and beyond?

28 March, 2007 15:13

Starting in May, Yahoo! will begin offering unlimited e-mail storage to all its users.  No longer will we have to worry about the inbox overflowing, or our mail bouncing.

As a long time Yahoo! customer, I have to admit that I am a little surprised with the announcement this early in the e-mail war game.  It seems as though Yahoo! usually follows suite to others, although I am pleasantly happy with them taking on the storage limitations head on.

Will I remain a paid customer, yes.  Mail Plus offers pop access, multiple source e-mail composition, more filters, and a host of other features.  These add to the brilliancy of the announcement.

I can see that May will be a busy time for Yahoo! as I am sure that the space will be abused in every aspect of possibilities.   Until then, I have plenty of space left and clear of capacity worries.  I mean, they can't go back to quotas, can they?

Cobalt RAQ 1 and the devilish debian-mipsel 'net down' bug

27 March, 2007 17:00

For you lucky ones who still use a raq 1 and are getting a nasty 'net down' message while trying to install debian-mipsel, here is a reference to a sarge NFS root that will help clear your mind.

Edited because blog post looked and sounded like rubbish: 

A working image for the RAQ 1 can be found here...

the drunk cows are a swimm'n

26 March, 2007 17:24

Patty's day I headed to the capital square to watch the parade.  The music was good, and the beer for some reason tasted better than it does on most days (thanks John).  Amongst the green, I wore a custom tailored green suite...  green green green...

Spring is here!  Madison hit 79 degrees today.  I decided to hike east, and check out the E. Wash construction.  It wasn't bad when I was in the area, but I can imagine it is a bitch around 5:00...

I don't even have any tech news!  That be it!

it looks like spring, it feels like spring, the ducks tell me it is spring - it must be spring

10 March, 2007 16:02

It is absolutely beautiful here in Madison, WI.  I went for a well needed hike this morning heading down the capital state trail, on back to Olbrich Gardens, and down by Glass Nickel Pizza for the trip back home.

The ducks are back and almost in full swing - whatever ducks do in full swing.  At Olbrich park there were a couple kids playing with kites.  I also managed to get a shot of an intriguing statue north of the park.  I never noticed it before.

As usual the trail people, as I like to call them, were cheerful and friendly.  This time of year brings out the best in all.  Thank god spring is coming!

woman wow wear - D sized liquor holding male enlightenment

08 March, 2007 14:08

Not every female holds the fruits of D cup breasts.  In such a case, why not turn the less productive sized organs into something magical and useful, beer breasts.

Many of you have seen the likes of the beer tummy.  Now you can't say the idea is sexist, because here the male dream, in all it's perverted tastes, comes to light as a device, worn on the breasts, that holds any liquid of choice - the fruits of all that is D sized.  You can now sip vodka right from the source.  As if the damn things weren't intoxicating as is, you can now sip pure 80 proof spirits from 'em.

Damn, it's another 'why didn't I think of that' masterpiece of woman wow wear.
