Don’t have a laptop or anything, but I may take a few pics with my phone and post them over the next two days whilst in New Orleans. I should be back Tuesday Afternoon.

New Orleans
This sucks. I have a damn cold and am supposed to be going to New Orleans tommorow. Guess I’ll be buying a box of sinutab today. Got up a bit early so that I could get some stuff done at work and maybe leave at a decent time this evening.
A sad day
Wow, I didn’t know she was 93.

Hate being sick
Just took some Nyquil (or at least the generic form) and hopefully will pass out soon. Don’t know what bug they have been passing around at work but it sucks. Damn.
Stupid People Tricks
When I was about 18 or so, I had moved back in with my parents for a few months. Since I had no car, I went on foot, or on the bus. We lived just sout of Peachtree Battle in Atlanta, right behind Benihanas (for those who are familiar with the area). One evening, a couple of freinds of mine decided to come pick me up so that we could hang out. We decided to stop at the Burger King right up the road. We sat at the drive-thru forever, then it took like another five minutes to get the damn food. I was getting ready as my friend was paying. Right as we pulled out, I shot a bit spitball from my straw, through the window, right into the motherfuckers ear. I know, very stupid, but I couldn’t stop laughing. Hell, I am chuckling about it now.
We went to pull out and the dumbass JUMPED out of the fucking drivethru window and started to give chase on foot. By this time I couldn’t breathe we were laughing so hard. We pulled out and took a right on Peachtree, went about a quarter mile up to a red light and pulled up next to a cop. five or six seconds passed and this fucking car whips around the cop and stops caddy-cornered in front of the officer, jumps out and starts shouting and pointing at us. That was about the time that I started wanting to shit my pants. The Officer had us all go back to the Burger King parking lot and he went inside with the Middle Eastern Gentleman (back then I was moron enough to use other terms).
About five minutes later he comes out and tells me that the Manager wanted to press charges of assault (for a fucking spitball), but if I would come inside and apologize to him in front of his employees, he would let me go. I don’t know if he really could have filed charges or not, but I was young and dumb, and scared shitless (and laughing my fucking ass off at the same time). I went inside and it was all I could do to not bust out laughing when I said “I am sorry that I shot a spitball in your ear”. Most of his employees were also laughing (possibly at me, but I don’t think so), so that made it that much harder.
I laughed about it for weeks. Hell, my humor is still so low I think it is fucking hilarious.
Robert Blake
Robert Blake was found innocent of Murder. Still not sure about that one, but you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Just seems like too much bullshit for something to NOT have been going on.
It Happened on George W Bush's Watch
Here are some of the things that the liberally biased media dowsn’t want to mention the next time you hear them start spouting body counts.

Condi as Prez?
Once you get past the male-bashing, this is a pretty good post. Do I think Condi would win if faced against that damned Hildabeast? No I don’t. Would “I” vote for her? Hell yes. I think it is very easy to make incorrect generalizations abouty men (and women), but in politics, as in business, the proof is in the pudding. You have to earn respect and prove you have the salt to make it.

Holy crap. Check out the link over here. Windows Media Video by the way. Here are a bunch of guys heading for the ultimate, the Darwin Awards. Stupid fucks.
Meedio, Winamp, and iTunes
Finally got Meedio to play M4P’s purchased using iTunes. I ended up using a Meedio plugin that uses Winamp as it’s music player, rather than the stock music player. Then I downloaded the M4P input plugin for winamp and installed that. I also had to do a new import that would find the music in m4p format, since the stock plugin does not. Sounds like a lot of work, bt it actually was not. It is much quicker than the stock player, and I have always loved winamp.
I would have preferred native support for M4P, but I think that they are more worried about the TV crap than something only a few people have requested. I am using BeyondTV, which blows away MeedioTV.
Update – The only problem I have found with this is controlling it when the music library is across a network. I am in the process of miving all 24 gigs of music onto my htpc, that should speed it up greatly. I am getting ready to go to bed, may post more tommorow on this.
