We're coming up on 10 years

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

So I think it would be fun if we did a 10 year anniversary PODCAST. Here's how it would work:

1) You install Skype (audio only)
2) I ask you, the JC denizen what your most favorite and least favorite moment has been on the BBS, if applicable
3) You avoid machinegunning your kids and yourself and answer the qu-- fuck, we've got people already doing this wrong.

I then "cut" it all together and we release.... the 10 Year Podcast!!!!

I am not going to ask "Who's in" because all of you bitch riddlers are, so says me.

Sounds like fun to me. What could possibly go wrong?

"Good morning, this is your automated plane speaking. As we prepare for takeoff, I would like to advise you that I am designed to operate flawlessly without human intervention, and am perfectly capable of doing everything necessary to operate this flight. As we roll smoothly along the taxiway and are about to take off, you should be aware that all possible contingencies have been prepared for, and you can rest assured that nothing can possibly go worng… go worng… go worng… worng…"

I feel that I'm on probationary status as a long term denizen, but if you want to select a time and date sure, I'll jump on skype and we can do this.

Jake: I'm telling you, I can do this! I can save you a lot of money here.
Man 3: Listen to Jake, because he's always had the winning smile.
Man 4: Well, I don't know, because you're the one proposing that we spend $25 million.

If you're interested, I'll do an interview. I had Skype already because my sister had it, and I bought a really inexpensive Web Cam - under $10, full 30fps - so that I could, on occasion, talk to her via video. But my new Acer comes with Skype pre-installed as part of the crapware that the manufacturer and/or refurbisher puts on as part of the kickbacks that these crapware suppliers pay.

Oh wait a minute, that's kind of a nasty connotation, I'm taking kickbacks from Jonsey to encourage me to post things on Caltrops to encourage the other reprobates to post stuff in response. Ok, "My new Acer comes with Skype pre-installed as part of the fine sample of quality software that the manufacturer and/or refurbisher puts on as part of the generous subsidy paid by these software companies that allow me to purchase this fine machine at such a reasonable price."

Who says I can't be bribed?

Also, this fucking piece of crap Acer just restarted itself, again, at 3:35 in the morning, probably because Windows Update has it set to do that. The goddamn motherfucking son-of-a-bitch just decides to shut itself down and restart, and it did it right in the middle of when I was typing the word "reprobate." As it turns out, I had typed "red" (and probably was about to press backspace to reset the d to a p) when the machine just unceremoniously kicked me out of Firefox and started shutting everything down. Fortunately, Firefox's excellent "restart prior session" button put me exactly where I was in this message.

As soon as I can, I am going to grab Windows Update and rip out the automatic download and restart by it's fucking throat. No computer has the right to just restart itself without my permission. Tell me and ask first, and I'm willing to accept this stuff has to happen. Do it to me, and I'll figure out how to rip your ass out of my machine if it's possible.

Was that last post by voice input? Cause your neighbors must be getting worried if they can hear you.

Worried about which, my stream of obscenities or my admission I can be bribed? :)

I think I typed that in, I probably didn't read it. I can't do fonts, bold and such using voice commands except with a lot more effort than just using the keyboard or mouse to do so.

I seriously doubt my neighbors can hear me. Nobody lives on the ground floor except me. Everybody else is either on the second floor or the basement. My windows are not open so the next-door neighbor can't hear, and my room has a door on it I normally keep closed.

That means the nearest person to me is separated by a solid floor and 20 feet of airspace between me and the floor, either the ground floor's floor, or the 2nd floor's floor.

Neat trick! The most recent OSX (more recent than the laptop I jacked from my last job) will automatically restore all windows to their last state on login if you'd like (default setting is Daddy like-y) so there's little reason to care about such things.

You know, unless you're trying to use Windows as a server. Like a chump.
