Subject: Your elegant watch will keep you warm

What, does it have a space heater built-in?

Subject: You are old enough to have a designer watch

Wait, there are age limits on these things? Is there a pamphlet or legal statute I can check for this?

Subject: No watch will be able to compete with yours

No thanks, the last thing I need is the government trying to declare my wrist a monopoly.

Subject: An elegant watch will give you the wings.

I didn’t know Red Bull made watches now.

Subject: Change your life for better ? get a decent watch.

Just a ‘decent’ one, though. Wouldn’t want to be showy or anything.

Subject: Feel the wonder of having a tremendous instrument

We’re still talking about watches here, right?

Subject: Be satisfied for life!

You know, most DMs fulfill that kind of Wish request by doing something like killing you instantly…

Subject: Enter the New Year without ED dysfunction

ATM machine. PIN number. ED dysfunction.

Subject: Your dream is reality You have 70% cut off in our software shop

Er, which 70% of me do you intend to cut off?

Subject: Amaze your gf with your new dimension

Hey, I have enough trouble navigating through three dimensions already.

Subject: Embarassed over what you have in your pants?

I swear, officer, I have no idea how that squirrel got in there.

Amarok crashed on me just as it was completing a collection database scan, and it popped up a crash reporter and asked me to fill in some more information about what it was doing. I dutifully filled it out, and noticed that it was going to email the crash dump. I hadn’t configured KMail yet, so I went to the Tools/Configure KMail menu…

And then KMail crashed on me. No bug report for you!

And I Thought Patching WoW Was Annoying

I’m installing Windows 2000 into a virtual machine for testing purposes, and after putting on Service Pack 4 and IE6, there’s still another 65 updates to go, according to the automatic updater.

It’s probably going to take longer to finish installing all of this than the actual testing I’ll need to do…

Right now, MythTV is recording an episode of Rome for me. But at the same time, a transcode job is in the middle of converting some other shows to MPEG-4 to free up some disk space.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me that my idea of amusement is to keep checking the amount of free disk space every few minutes just to see which task is ‘winning’…

Just Make Sure They’re Clean Ones

I’m kind of glad that I got the standalone Rock Band game and not the full set, given how much trouble a lot of people seem to be having with the reliability of the new guitar and especially the drums. On a lot of sets, rapid drum rolls aren’t properly detected and miss a lot of notes, and the pedal snaps in half a bit too easily.

People are inventive though, and have come up with a lot of quick, homebrew mods to try and make the drums more reliable. One of the best so far doesn’t even need you to break the drum set open; you just need a bunch of…socks?
