• Automatically disable your touchpad while you type with TouchFreeze

  
  Download Squad — Authority: 766
  Filed under: Text , Utilities , Windows One thing about laptops that drives a lot of my customers nuts is the touchpad. If I had a nickel for every time someone brought a laptop in complaining that their mouse pointer suddenly jumped somewhere else on the screen and messed up their typing, Id have at least ...

• Hey, dont do that at work

  
  Gustav's Groupie — Authority: 431
  Yesterday, I wandered into the break room and glanced at the bulletin board to notice a picture of Bill Cosby. I thought to myself, "WTF?" Turns out that a coworker (probably my near-70 year-old supervisor) had received an email forward and decided to print it out for the enjoyment of everyone else. Thinking it ...

• Dodging Furniture on the Freeway (and other stuff)

  
  K-Squared Ramblings — Authority: 135
  Hmm, Dabel Bros. teaming up with IDW for Mercy Thompson. Maybe we can get that last New Spring issue soon? # Reminder to self: bring a pen to the self-serve post office machine. # Gee, that was “fun.” It’s not every day you get to dodge living room furniture on the freeway at 65 MPH. # To clarify ...

• Okay, new rules

  
  Gustav's Groupie — Authority: 431
  Inspired by the lady in the SUV on Van Ness (two lane one-way street with parallel parking on both sides, 30 MPH speed limit) obstructing me on the way home and driving 20 MPH. Heres the deal. If you own a car that is either too big for the lane youre driving in, or scares the shit out of you so much that you veer ...

• Moderation

  
  Gustav's Groupie — Authority: 431
  Just so everyone is aware, I turned on comment moderation for posts older than 10 days so if, for some reason, youre perusing the archives and leave a comment, youll just have to wait patiently for me to approve it. I hate word verification and spam tends to show up on the older posts so Ill try this out to see if it ...

• Arbitrary Limits: eBay and TV Season DVDs

  
  K-Squared Ramblings — Authority: 135
  WTF? eBay says I can’t charge more than $3 to ship an item in the DVD category. I’m selling a 2-pound boxed set . The cheapest USPS rate is $3.16 for media mail. I appreciate the effort to prevent sellers from overcharging for shipping, and $3 leaves plenty of room for most DVDs…but apparently it hasn’t ...

• False sense of productivity

  
  Imaginary Sunshine — Authority: 127
  My productivity level is at an all time low today… But so far this is what I’ve done: Woken up (slept in… it was so blissful) Read part of a book ( Bloodhound – Beka Cooper #2 by Tamora Pierce) Did some work on Ames (yay, roleplaying game!) ‘Discovered’ a blog entry that Sophie wrote up on my ...

• Weekend Wrap-Up

  
  When We Were Liars ... — Authority: 128
  So, I feel like shit. I was dressed and ready for church and almost out the door when whammo … first the upset stomach, then the headache. I texted one of my church friends (I was supposed to do guest services today) then ran a hot bath. I thought I’d be able to go to church, but decided that wouldn’t be prudent ...

• CBC Survey

  
  Steel White Table — Authority: 418
  I was asked to participate in a survey from Confirmit.com while reading this morning’s news at CBC.ca . I said yes and answered a series of questions about where I get most of my news: Radio, Internet, Television, Newspapers or Other. I get 90% of my news from CBC.ca or CBC Radio . I don’t watch TV and I ...

• Grrrrrrr

  
  Reverend Ref + — Authority: 123
  Friday evening, Mrs. Ref says to me, "How long has the Check Engine light been on?" "Only since you started driving today." So we had a Check Engine light on all last night and all the way to Butte where we were going to do some grocery shopping and get the car serviced. So I dropped the car off at my normal place ...

• Bacchus Bar, Birmingham. Awful.

  
  Mabblog — Authority: 100
  I spent yesterday evening, from 7-11, in Bacchus Bar , Birmingham , one of Mitchells & Butlers ‘ supposedly “Classic Pubs”. Had I not been there as a guest of others, for whom I have great respect, I would have left. The dirty plates left by the departing people whose table we occupied, and their ...

• Thought-vomiting.

  
  Ben's Laboratory — Authority: 113
  Thought-vomiting is a term I’m going to be using whenever I get to this point. The point where I’ve let too much time come between updates on here, yet I still can’t come up with something decent to write about. This is where I say, “fuck it” and proceed to let my thoughts spew forth [...]

• “The science is settled.” Tell us another one, Uncle Al!

  
  WmWms — Authority: 424
  In case you haven’t heard—and given the shameless bias of most mainstream news sources (particularly on the topic of global warming), you may well not have— hackers recently breached the network of a prominent British climate research organization and released about 61 megabytes of confidential information ...

• OH man!

  
  Gustav's Groupie — Authority: 431
  Ive been slinging plywood today and its been rather intense and laborious all morning. This one big fly had been pestering me for a good 10 minutes, which is really bad when youre working at the table saw because you cant exactly let go of things to shoo a fly. So youre doing the head shaking and blowing and ...

• I cannot write on just one topic (today)

  
  Imaginary Sunshine — Authority: 127
  The ways today did not just work out well for me: I slept in and woke up about a minute before my regular bus arrives. I skipped breakfast and lunch. I ate when I got home (at 3pm, I woke up a little bit after 6am). It didn’t just rain, it poured and I didn’t have my umbrella with me (due to the fact that ...

• More health guidelines from the Obama administration

  
  WmWms — Authority: 424
  The United States Preventive Services Task Force, a panel funded and appointed by the United States government, recently recommended that women begin mammograms at age 50 , or ten years later than the previous guidance of age 40.  It also downplayed the usefulness of breast self-exams. This seemingly odd advice ...

• A brief note on sore losers and gloaters

  
  Perri Nelson's Website — Authority: 464
  It seems to me that in at least four “major” elections recently there have been some rather strange post-election goings on. OK, I know that it’s a lot more than just four– we can probably go back to the invention of the ballot to find accusations of voter fraud – but… When Washington’s governor, ...
