Amber and the Dalai Lama

Filed under: General, Musing, Life — webmaster @ 8:59 am

This page is worth a visit just to see the Dalai Lama out of the spotlight for a few minutes and to see him shake hands with Amber MacArthur. I met him in San Francisco many-many years ago. He doesn’t seem to have aged a bit.

Web 2.0 Comment

Filed under: Blogging, Musing — webmaster @ 10:47 pm

We just left a comment at the ZDNet “Web 2.0″ article regarding Mozzilla’s Firefox memory usage. It implied that anyone really understand “memory leakage.” It has been explained in so many contrary ways, we believe it to be a cyber-myth that explains a law of physics with a colander cum punctured tire comparison.

In out comment we mentioned that Firefox runs fine on a laptop, this one, with 42 extensions, including the one with which we are writing this blog entry, running simultaneously.

What will I do with three days off?

Filed under: General, Musing, Life — webmaster @ 7:54 pm

After a visit to the doctor today I was told some stuff that wasn’t fun.  I have the next three days off to think about it.  The question is, why would I want to waste three days off thinking about bad news?  I think it’s time to veg and swim in the Egyptian River.

Computerworld’s Worst Firefox Extension

Filed under: Blogging, Software — webmaster @ 10:04 pm

This is being written using one of the extensions condemned in this article.  They say there is no reason for a blog editor when the online blogs all have their own editors. 

The reason is you can do just what I am doing now, comment on a web page without having to go to the blog’s website, sign on and go through the steps of bringing up the online.  This is much easier. 

So there!

Scottish Censorship, kinda!

Filed under: General, Blogging, Musing, Reviews — webmaster @ 5:26 pm

There was an article in this morning’s Scotsman.com regarding some silly drug related “scandal” involving a member of the Royal Family.

It basically says there is a court order prohibiting them from mentioning the name of this Royal.  Some other bright person, it would seem the article says, tried to blackmail said unnamed Royal and got caught.  It goes onto say, though the court says they can’t tell you the name of the person, there a picture of him signing a book in the Italian Newspaper IL repubblica.it

Not being able to read Italian, I am afraid this person’s identity or what this person is alleged to be accused of by the blackmailer is unknown to me.

Whew!

Filed under: Life — webmaster @ 10:03 pm

The surrounding tension in New England has lessoned, but not dissipated. New Englanders have become spoiled, with the World Series and all of the record book numbers surrounding members of the Patriots.  They won the game, but few points, but, as it said by Patriots fans, a win is a win.

The Colts didn’t score the highest against New England, but the spread was much shorter. That seems to mean something.  Don’t ask me.

Another Useful Thing Against the Law, but…

Filed under: General — webmaster @ 9:14 am

This article in today’s Sunday New York Times tell the story of Cell Phone Jammers:
Devices Enforce Cellular Silence, Sweet but Illegal - New York Times

First it tells us of rebels riding the rails in San Francisco creating a circle of cellphone silence.  For those of us who have suffered this barrage of inane blather it seems, at first, such a harmless attempt at attaining civil sanity.  But, and yes there is ALWAYS a but, what if someone not so loud was a doctor giving important information to a colleague needed to save a life, or a poor soul who has been on hold forever to a financial institution or worse, cable company.

There are so many what-ifs here that I needed to erase an entire paragraph upon re-read because I found the list had no bottom.  Most of the comments I have read have been in favor of the jammers, but I can almost guarantee none of them have been made by someone who had been knowingly jammed.

First the Nor’easter and now the Colts

Filed under: General — webmaster @ 10:08 pm

Today we sat around in the morning waiting for the promised Nor’easter. It came. There was wind and rain, fallen branches and a power outage or two. Pretty much as expected.

Tomorrow everyone will be sitting around waiting until 4:15 in the afternoon. That’s when the Colts should be running out on to the field. I honestly believe most of the people here in New England are worried more about tomorrow than they were today.

We’re used to Nor’Easters. Where not that used to having out team play an undefeated team, going in undefeated ourselves.

I wish I could ignore it. Not being that big a fan of organized sports, you think I could. It would have been easier to ignore the windows rattling and the trees falling today, all day. -30-
