Posted by Sir Geek on 05/21/2005 10:12PM As you may know, Callie got me a PS2 for my birthday last year. She recently got me the game God Of War . This game is one of the best I've played in a LONG time. Its got shoot-em up fun as well as puzzle solving. [Link][5 comments]
Posted by Sir Geek on 05/07/2005 12:53PM If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on first?" might have turned out something like this: COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou. ABBOTT: Your computer? COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou. ABBOTT: What about Windows? COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here? ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows? COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows? ABBOTT: Wallpaper. COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software. ABBOTT: Software for Windows? COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have? ABBOTT: Office. COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything? ABBOTT: I just did. COSTELLO: You just did what? ABBOTT: Recommend something. COSTELLO: You recommended something? ABBOTT: Yes. COSTELLO: For my office? ABBOTT: Yes. COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office? ABBOTT: Office. COSTELLO: Yes, for my office! ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows. COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need? ABBOTT: Word. COSTELLO: What word? ABBOTT: Word in Office. COSTELLO: The only word in office is office. ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows. COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows? ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W". COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet? ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One. COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need! ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch reels 2, 3 and 4. Can I watch them? ABBOTT: Of course. COSTELLO: Great! With what? ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do? ABBOTT: You click the blue "1". COSTELLO: I click the blue one what? ABBOTT: The blue "1". COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w? ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word. COSTELLO: What word? ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows. COSTELLO: But there are three words in "office for windows"! ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world. COSTELLO: It is? ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there. COSTELLO: And that word is real one? ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office. COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: I need money to track my money? ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer. COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer? ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge. COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much? ABBOTT: One copy COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money? ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money. COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money? ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT! (A few days later) ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off? ABBOTT: Click on "START"....... [Link][1 comments]
Posted by Sir Geek on 05/02/2005 08:29AM Callie and I recently purchased a Netgear MP101 It is a networked MP3 Player. The device can be wireless ( but it just wouldn't connect to my wireless network even 1 foot away from the router) so its connected via a CAT-5 cable. The netgear software sucks ( doesn't want to work on a Windows Shared Driver - since my MP3's are all on a shred driver on one of my Linux machines ). But that's fine, there is a free piece of software from Twonky Vision called music server that works wonderfully. Don't bother with the tech support people, they can't read and have no idea how to solve a problem that isn't in their standard script.
Posted by Sir Geek on 05/02/2005 08:25AM I swear. In the last few years Callie and I swear that there are more and more idiots out there. Why do I say this ? For example, there is a bridge near us that is being rebuilt. The road to it is currently 3 lanes ( One Left Turn Only, One Strait, and One Right Turn only). 9 times out of 10, we're in the middle lane to go strait over the bridge but there is some idiot in the right turn lane who inisists on going strait. It isn't like the area is posted, it is ! Another example ? Its a 55 MPH limit when heading on Route 91 ( when it is going through the City of Springfield ) yet if you are doing that speed, you'll get run down unless you are in the rightmost lane ( slow lane). Callie and I were heading to Enfield, CT to purchase powerball tickets ( since my state doesn't sell them ) and as soon as I merged onto 91 South, some twat in a Jaguar, was RIGHT on my car's tail. I move to the center lane and this person flys past me ( doing at least 70MPH). [Link][2 comments] |
