Meow!
Today is the twelfth birthday of my cats, Max and Dave. Although they are unlikely to read it here, I post it so that you may know of it, and share in the rejoicing of the birth of my Fuzzy Little Guys. -
Bah
My ISP had suffered a server crash recently. They responded to my "Where site go?" query with an email about how my site would be up and running within the day.
While this has turned out to be true, they neglected to mention the fact that they were rolling back to a restore point of at least a month ago. I can tell, because this livejournal entry ( Read more... ) -
Confusing Filter is Confusing
I don't get this block from work on any other livejournal entry, no matter what the content. I just get it when I try to read one particular person on my Friend List.

RTFM
As my fellow Torontonians are no doubt aware, there are new trains in service in our subway system. There are currently only two of them, and they are currently only running north/south, but as someone who works downtown, I manage to catch a ride on one every now and again ( Read more... ) -
Further In Retarded Livejournal News
I just noticed a typo in one of my own comments, on my own Livejournal (a slightly older post, where I talk about Fido roaming rates; I said it was $0.30 a kilobyte, where it should have said $0.03). So I clicked on the little pencil icon that allows me to edit my comment...

Schlimmbesserung
Schlimmbesserung: German. Literally translates to "worse betterment". It refers to an improvement that makes things worse.
Livejournal is starting to annoy me of late. When I view my friends' page, it shows me Sarcasma's latest entry, and nothing else. At the bottom of the page it says "Showing latest entries", but there is no "Go Earlier" option. I get ( Read more... ) -
Miles Word of the Day
Today's word that required me to go to Google to find out what my friend Miles was saying was opprobrium. Used in the sentence, "Alas: you have exposed me to greater opprobrium."
op·pro·bri·um/əˈprōbrēəm/ Noun
1. Harsh criticism or censure.
2. The public disgrace arising from someone's shameful conduct.

Fido Roaming Rates
I am back from my cruise of the eastern seaboard now. While I was in the States I had my iPhone pretty much in "Airplane Mode" because I didn't want it latch onto any other carrier and sock me with roaming charges ( Read more... ) -
Shhh.. they're listening
I just now got an e-mail from Moore's. They've sent me a coupon for 40% off all dress shirts, this weekend only.
Hmmmm. -
Fuckery Indeed
I like going to Regretsy, a site that pokes fun at the crap that clogs up Etsy. The basic concept is that there is excellent stuff on Etsy, made by hard-working artisans, but the odds of you finding it are greatly reduced by the sheer volume of utter crap generated by anyone who can spraypaint macaroni shells and glue them to a piece of barnwood.
