Big rig on 3 wheels
It just doesn't look right on its side like that. I know in my head that most of the weight is right at the frame level, but my eyes are telling me it should have fallen over.
The most dangerous wood splitter in the universe
You might as well hook an ax to an axle and let it swing.
What Kelly did today
I have no other thing going on so I'm going to talk about work.

Track down order info for laptops. Report IP for server. Red Hat network setup help. Reassign some device ownership. Adjust a user's group settings. |
I have to look in to my descriptions because that just doesn't seem like it should add up to nine hours when I read it as a block. It took a bit more time than that in clock hours to be honest.
Not included are the three ten minute stand up meetings all complaining plotting planning about SQL or network issues.
Lunch conversation
I was bad and went to the place that has $10 burgers. I am ashamed of myself. We need to conserve money right now.
- The restaurant we were eating in
- Fewer birds than normal.
- The manager was the worst at taking orders.
- Good burgers.
- What things mean in the Scottish/British colloquial.
- Video games
- Weekend plans
- Just how obnoxious can Adam get?
- Tennis elbow (sort of)
Getting better?
The U.S. economy picked up speed at the end of 2011, as consumers increased their spending.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation's economic health, grew at a 2.8% annual rate in the last three months of the year, the Commerce Department said Friday. That's up from a 1.8% growth rate in the prior quarter and the strongest reading since the second quarter of 2010.
Still, economists had expected higher growth in the fourth quarter.
Growth of at least 3% is considered enough to prompt hiring by employers. During the quarter, the unemployment rate fell to 8.5% in December from 9% in September.

Yes, these numbers look good. I'm sure they are good for someone. However, most people I know have not had a raise in a couple years. This means they have lost money based on inflation. This is why I left my last job. I sat down and figured out that I was getting screwed and found out that people who left and came back got more money. This just made me want to leave.
The calculation of inflation does not include food and energy. The idea being that these numbers come out in the wash of everything else. The trouble is, the cost of everything is going up. The price of things seem to be beating inflation. This doesn't make sense because inflation is supposed to calculate how much the cost of things is going up. There are issues with the calculation.
Wages are stagnant, or behind based on inflation. Remember those flawed numbers? Wages are behind even that number.
The cost of everything is going up. Wages are not. Where does that leave us? In a hole. What is the first thing to do when one finds one's self in a hole? ... Stop digging.
Notes:
Something awesome about having some IT help is a bunch of long term things are getting done. About time. I've been spending my whole day putting out fires.
It is funny in a novel having the protagonist tell you what a bastard they are. Planting evidence, thievery, larceny, murder and every other damnable thing after another leads them to an impossible but interesting life.
They can't shoot microwaves in to the soil of Mars at the frequency of a ... microwave oven and watch for a hot spot? It is my understanding that this would cause water molecules to heat up? Perhaps they are afraid of all the metal in the soil. Perhaps they don't want to be accused of genocide by the intergalactic council.

Teach children to follow the money
There is a movement to make people don't believe in climate change or global warming or atmospheric energy divergence or whatever it is called this week look like goons. The idea here is to compare climate skeptics antievolutionists. There is a movement in schools to capture children's beliefs while they are young. Give people something other than God to believe in. Something that they can rebel against their parents over.
This frightens me because if you want to convince people of something for their entire life, you need to catch them as children. They will believe it for the rest of their life and they will fight to prevent people from changing their minds. Look me in the eye and tell me this is not true. People can change, but they don't.
Fast food has excelled at hooking children on quick hot food over the last sixty years. Every fast food restaurant can thank McDonald's for their mascot and ad campaign that got people out of the kitchen and dining room in to a drive through.
Is there an organized conspiracy to convince people of global warming? Well, yes. It is just like any religion. It has advocates and and skeptics. It has proof and belief. The movement is organized and plans to induct as many people as possible.
The science is immaterial. The money is material. The simple fact is that governments want to invent a need to spend an infinite amount of money that is guaranteed to never achieve anything or have tangible measurable results. Companies love this idea and are in line to receive the lucrative contracts. follow the money, not the science or belief to the truth.
Notes:
2012-01-25
Why can I not type in a date without errors? I have to type the year, back up, retype the correct year. Type the month, back up and type the correct month. Type the day, back up and type the correct day. It must be because I don't think of the date in form of numbers. I think if it in form of words. I have to translate the day to numbers every time.
In my universe, instant travel over great distances is not only possible, but mandatory.
Babylon 5 was a good show. It was a novel for TV. I wish I could get them all now. I cannot bring myself to watch it.
There is a movement on in parts of Europe to somehow account for huge executive payouts and base pay. The trouble is, no one wants to pay below average for a CEO. Boards look at averages across their industry and decide to pay the average for a CEO or higher. Thus, the averages keep going up. Shareholders could always vote to limit pay. They don't want to hurt the company making money. It sounds like the government is just trying to shut up poor people without loosing their jobs. The government people keep saying things like "pay linked to performance" and the like when the government people do not have any link between pay and performance.
"Get your skates on" is a British term for hurrying up.
I want a constitutional amendment that says something like "No one who makes 10 times the national median income can run for or hold public office." There would have to be some sort of method for calculating said income.
Liberalism. Tell me this is not bias. There is no entry anywhere for illconservatism. As a matter of fact, searching for the latter term switches to "conservatism mental illness". BIAS!!! It does crack me up that people want to think that people who disagree with them are sick. I mean, God forbid someone thinks differently than you and is still "normal".
Lunch conversation today consisted of the weather and a bunch of crap I cannot talk about here.
I have never gotten drunk trying to get over something. I hear so many stories about people drinking alone to get over some hurt. I've hurt. I didn't drink to get past it. I don't understand getting past something with drink. I've made it this far. I hope I never turn to the bottle for solos. It doesn't work. It nerve works.
Fiction podcast heard today "The future is stupid. You don't want to go there." I like it.
I want a lawyer and a PI to call my own. If only I had money and could afford to have a staff of researchers and perhaps some contract thugs. Driver, I would need a wheel man. A maid and a personal assistant would be nice too.
One of the podcasts I listen to had a story set in 1984. They mentioned the top songs. It was nostalgic for me. I was fifteen. I remember sitting at home in the middle of summer watching cable TV in the morning waiting for the pool to open. I was not in to music or reading or TV per say. TV was all there was. Remember, there was no internet.
Today was quiet. I had time to catch up on some back log. Been a while since that has happened. Felt good if I'm honest. Still had a full plate, just not so much stress.

Taking down a web page is like tarring a poster off a wall. It is just not a big fancy attack to be honest. It sucks for the people who are dealing with the web site. It is not hacking.
Tourism has dropped by 50% in Egypt. Considering the place is on high alert and there is a loud, but so far nearly bloodless coops going on, I'm surprised that number is not much lower.
Someone came out with a silent film. Some people are asking for their money back. The art freaks love it. Normal people roll their eyes. Everyone else snorts and thinks to themselves that the entertainment industry is in genuine trouble.
I am not even worried about commercials much any more. It has gotten to the point that I don't remember what I just heard. Even when I stop and think about it during the commercial, I don't remember three minutes later when I think about it again. I can't tell you what the commercial was about unless it upset me. Either, my advertisement blindness has evolved, or I'm really loosing my faculties. I must remember that this is going on at the tender age of early forties.
"Sometimes assholes need to be shot." Quote from a fictional podcasts. It was a military speech.
It is funny how the muse comes and goes. I get ideas when everything else is going on. If I don't at least write down a note to myself, the idea and motivation may not hit me again.
