I guess I shouldn't complain.  I spent a whopping 45 minutes updating my site for the wedding, and haven't touched it since.

Personally I'm a big fan of the new browser.  It takes some time to get use to, but it's a huge step up in speed.  It also passes the ACID 2 test.
  

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

My website requires a login and it's law enforcement personnel only.  If X's department gets the software suite we developed then he may be using the website.   Cool

I can show you the login screen if you really want to see it.  Tongue

Ya Bob, you never did post anything in the pictures link of your wedding site.  You should scan all those photos from the tables people took and let's see what drunken debauchery we caught!

None from me I had to drive home.  I asked bob if he would give me a ride home and that greedy bastard said no.  Like he had other plans...

Honestly, I'm not sure if those cameras have even been developed yet.  We haven't even ordered our official photos yet, for that matter.

The only pictures I've seen so far are the previews from the photographer and some shots from attendees who used their own cameras.

(...should probably get around to ordering/developing pics eventually.)

You better get around to doing that.  You don't want to have to divorce just to get married again.

Meh, I'll just marry her twice.  I wonder if I'd get charged with polygamy for having two concurrent marriages to the same woman?

From one of my favorite websites, The Daily WTF...

http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/The-Stalled-Server-Room.aspx



The server room for this company can only be accessed through the handicap stall in the women's bathroom.  How crazy is that?  Follow the link for more hilarity!

Check out this uber-quality Ethernet cable on Amazon...  $500!



http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AKDL1-Dedicated-Link-Cable/dp/B000I1X6PM/ref=pd_bbs_...

The reviews are absolutely hilarious!


Quote:
A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.

I was disappointed. I consider myself an audiophile - I regularly spend over $1000 on cables to get the ultimate sound. I keep my music-listening room in a Faraday cage to prevent any interference that could alter my music-listening experience. Sending any signal down ordinary copper can degrade the signal considerably. While ordinary listeners might not notice, to somebody with even a rudimentary knowledge of sound, the artifacts are glaring. Denon should have used silver wiring (hermetically sealed inside the rubber sheath to prevent any tarnishing, of course), which has a significantly higher conductivity than copper. Furthermore, Denon needs to treat the wires they use in the cable with a polarity inductor to ensure minimal phase variance.

Needless to say, I returned the cable and wrote an angry letter to the so-called engineers at Denon.




Quote:
If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely -- like white, holy light. Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. I only make $6.25/hr at Jack In The Box, but I saved up for three months so I could have this cable. It sits in a shrine I constructed next to my futon in Mother's basement.

I only gave it four stars in my review because I can't find music that is worthy enough to flow through this utterly perfect interconnect.



Quote:
This cable does allow for incredible sound. However, I believe a possible side-effect from the use of this cable has not been noted by the manufacturers. Upon playing Prince's "Kiss" my speakers ... how should I put this? ... Well, I think they ... climaxed.

That's not the end of it. Oh, no. My stereo system is now sentient. And horny. Not one of my other appliances has warranty coverage for ... well ... the kind of 'damage' they are currently receiving.

I'd just unplug the darn thing, but it's developed an ability to arc pure energy when it feels threatened. It took two scorched electricians to figure that out. And, yes, I've already tried flipping the breaker switch. Doesn't work. The power won't go out. I don't understand how the hell it pulled that off.

Please, if anyone has any tips or advice, I'm getting desperate. My living room is some kind of sick, mechanical sex den and it's really freaking me out.
