New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Rutroh... [smoothing back unruly hair and sucking in gut] Ok... everybody.... be on your best behavior... :-)
Welcome Libertina! We sure had a good time out at yer place last weekend! :-)
LOL Sunday was a blur...I don't think you were close by when I "met" Ramius. Anyway, now I know :)
Well, welcome to the Hobbit Hole, where lots, and nothing at all, is happening all the time!
I know the first time I did this, I just about lost my itty bitty mind. This time around, I'm a lot more blasé ...
"Stop Buying Toys Too Advanced For Your Mind To Comprehend: or, Having The Fastest Computer In The Office Won't Get You Into Heaven."
The Fork version is up over at the SuperNova.org site.
Oh, yeah, and there's no episode this week!!!!
GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Yep... we're scheduled to have that installed just as the semester's beginning. Which seems to mean bad things, like on top of the hundreds of whining people wondering why they can't get into their accounts, and the network crashing from too many people trying to download mp3s, we get happy Microsoft fun. Woo-hoo.
Well, I am going to go pull ecurbh out of his bubble and get him to sit with me on the couch. South Park is on.
Good night everyone!
And no one seems to know what happens when XPSP2's firewall hits McAfee's, or Norton's, or Zone Alarm ...
Gah is right. How will we survive?
I actually just finished watching the Fork. Have all of their subs been such low-quality video? All in all I think they did a better job of subtitling than S-S, but not as good as Spoon. There were a couple bits in the other version that just didn't make sense, but they did in the Fork.
Sigh... but of course they must use harsh swear words instead of mild ones... sigh....
Ok, how am I to survive two weeks without new FMA? Especially when the end of 44 was so mind-blowing on many levels?
Rutrohs...not needed - no doubt you're always on your best behavior, no? he he he. LOL Glad you were able to come. Maybe I'll go to check out that South Park myself! ;) Night little hobbits!
Nothing like tech support to validate your closely-held belief that people are basically stupid ...
Ruthoh.... Don't hold South Park against me.... It really shouldn't be viewed by anyone!
Actually, I just manage computers and accounts for our department. So, it's mostly faculty who'll be yelling. That's worse. But there's a staff-guy who'll take most of the blame, and I'm the junior Windows maintenance chick, anyway.
Oh, I'm the first girl to have this job. I'm getting some seriously impressed vibes from my male co-workers so far. Especially since I'm a geek too, some of the female grad students aren't.
Ksen, I've got a five-step FMA withdrawal program you should try:
1. Go to downloadanime.org
2. Find Samurai 7
3. Download all six subbed episodes
4. Watch
5. Go into double-withdrawal because now there are two series to love and Samurai 7 shows only two eps a month...
Oh, yeah, and when you do, tell me if you recognize Katsushiro's voice...
Techie-girls are always in demand in the world of techie-men. So have you met any of these non-geeky girl-types?
I'm currently living in fear of SP2, mainly due to my innate fear of anything "new" from up there at the "Lazy M Ranch".
Its installed on about half of my IT staff machines, with little apparent harm, and very soon now it will start appearing on user machines, because we told them [sigh] to pretty much always accept updates. I have no idea what sort of monster I've created here.
If I'm still posting tomorrow, then it was no big deal. If it takes me a few days to reply, then it means that I'm now a Wal-Mart greeter and my new screen name will be different. :-)
Why do you think I'm in CS anyway? ;-)
So have you met any of these non-geeky girl-types?
When I came out to visit the school, two of the three girls I met were non-geeks. Nice, but not geeks. So far I've only met one girl at the department, since the semester hasn't started. She discovered I liked anime, discovered I was watching some she was watching, glommed me, and tried to get me to help her commandeer a room and a projecter for anime-lock-in-night.
It won't start corrupting data until it's well-entrenched in our lives.
Hey ... paranoid keeps you alive!
I just downloaded a whole raft of documents on XPSP2 from MS and forwarded them to my email box at work ... had to, 'cause our IT department thinks certain MS sites are "chat" and have blocked our access to them.
Some days, I wonder if they really want me to do this job!
I'm over time ... goodnight, all!
Dude ... have you ever Googled your screen name?
There's some mighty freaky stuff out there under your imprimatur ...! <laughing!>
Night all!
