So me and a couple of friends, (Peter Cohen of Macworld and Darby Lines, aka The Angry Drunk) are doing a podcast.

If you like angry, overly profane ranting about the unfathomable size of stupid on the Internet, then you can either go to the site and subscribe to the podcast, or if you are into teh iTunes, then you can subscribe via iTunes too. (Yes, you can actually search the iTunes Music Store for "Angry Mac Bastards", and we show up. hee.)

Note: all three of us are either currently or ex-IT, and Peter has to actually go into the Macworld.com and play in the forums as part of his job....

Angry sarcasm and profanity, we has it.

New puppy, she's six weeks old.

Ladies, gentlemen, I give you...

Maggie

Tree vs. Roof!

Fun times. Everyone's okay, but oy vey!

Every once in a while, I think to myself, "Self, you should rejoin metaquotes, it's not a bad community after all"

Then I have some reason to read the comments, and I remember why I left, and holy fuckoly, am I glad I did. Like the recent dramaaaaady, caused by benkenobigal metaquoting a really awful joke I made.

Yes, I know. It's tacky. It's kinda icky. Yes, I'm well aware the woman had a C-Section, and therefore her yoni, her womanly well, her source of female power, the only good force in the universe is unharmed.

So

Fucking

What.

What I love is that the same people who are calling me sexist, et al for saying, and I quote myself:

I bet that if she spreads her legs too quickly, she sucks her underwear halfway up to her ovaries.

Feel free to titter away at jokes about the Duggar family's humpteen kids and various "Holy shit, it's a vagina not a clown car". In the spirit of the same kind of picayune shit the metaquotes dillholes are employing, I'll point out that Mrs. Duggar had those kids one at a time, not in groups of eight, and therefore, the clown car metaphor DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING APPLY TO HER, YOU FUCKING DINGALINGS.

It actually applies more, in spite of the c-section, to Ms. Suleman, who had eight kids at once, and therefore had a LOT OF PEOPLE in a VERY SMALL SPACE...just like a fucking clown car.

If you're going to rag on MY metaphor, don't misapply one yourself.

Oh, and for the "some things aren't funny crowd?"

<carlin>Fuck you</carlin>

It's all funny. Rape, incest, you name it, there's something funny about it. 9/11? That's funny too, bitches! I'd say they all have sore pussies, but I don't think they've had another human near that area without money being exchanged in decades.

O noes, I made a sloppy pussy joke. Shit, that's nothing. You want bad sexist jokes?

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes? Nothing, you already done told her twice.
What's the difference between a dog and a woman? The dog learns if you beat it hard enough.
Why is sex with a sheep better than sex with a woman? At least the sheep is quiet after you eat it.
Why is a woman's pussy and asshole so close together? So after the roofies kick in, you can carry her home like a six-pack.
Why are there necrophiliacs? They finally got the bitch to shut up, why get rid of her now?
What do you call that thing you wipe your dick off on after you get done jacking off? "Honey".
What's the correct way to ask your woman for a blowjob? Ask?

And that's just two minutes worth. They can get a lot worse.

Now, while people are having their little, "SEE! HE'S REALLY A MYSOGONIST", those of you who are sane will realize that civilization didn't collapse, nor are men roaming the streets dragging women by the hair.

Did your house burn down?
Did you lose the right to vote?
Did you have to quit your job so you can make babies?
Were you gang-raped by circus midgets wearing Man Coulter masks?

NO

Of COURSE it was tacky and icky, I knew that when I posted it. What I love are the "more feminist than thou" crowd acting like that joke, or (most likely), the ones I just posted, are somehow great assaults on women, or an attitude that needs correcting. Get over yourselves. Shouldn't you be, you know, working to correct real problems instead of spazzing out on metaquotes? Oh wait, LJ, never mind.

So to benkenobigal, unleashedfreak, veronica_rich, lillyluna and the others who get tacky, icky, tasteless humor, I'm sorry you got sucked in to that draaaaaamedy. But you're welcome here anytime, it's all good.

I bet that if she spreads her legs too quickly, she sucks her underwear halfway up to her ovaries.

Oh, the puns, they flow like molten lead over the castle walls...

So, as a way of making sure that Hammerfall's lamer attempt at continuing to infringe on other people's copyright is as full of glorious fail as it should be...here's some proof.

( Here's a piece Melissa did: )

Yeah...so even if Dennis tries to play switcheroo with the files, here's the proof that he was stealing art for his own, (i'm sure) copyrighted work. Asshole.

Technorati Tags:
Dennis Kimbell: Thieving Dick, Mark Kimbell: Thieving Dick

So now, not only are the Hammerfall people stealing art, but they're renaming stuff on their photobucket account, (where all the stolen game artwork is hosted) so that the DMCA notices don't apply.

Let's be clear...first they say "Oh we have the rights", then they CHANGE FILES AROUND so as to nullify efforts of the PEOPLE THEY STOLE THE ARTWORK FROM to make them STOP USING THE ART THEY STOLE.

These are not the actions of people who think they have clear license to things. These are the actions of fucking thieves trying to avoid getting busted.

So let's be clear: Dennis Kimbell and Mark Kimbell, the creators of Hammerfall? They're thieving dicks, and need to be universally recognized as such.

Dennis Kimbell: Thieving Dick, Mark Kimbell: Thieving Dick

So a day or so ago, my wife discovers something that really pissed her off...her artwork, used without permission, in a Facebook RPG, Hammerfall.

So, being the industrious sort she is, she realizes that it's not just her. There's maaaaany artists who have been ripped off by Hammerfall. So they start going through the artwork. And emailing each other.

Okay, so here's the thing...nothing, and I mean NOTHING is as fierce as a bunch of artists who realize you've been stealing their work. So they start pointing it out to Hammerfall. Hammerfall starts trying to bullshit them about it. The money quote:

We have addressed this, we're not stupid here, all the art we used is either under creative commons license or similar, or we contacted the artists for permission, or was bought off of stock photography sites. If an artist thinks this isn't the case, please send us a message.

Oh Dennis, I beg to differ, you are stupid, and no, you in fact did not get permission for it all, nor was it creative commons/similar, nor did you contact all the artists for permission, etc.

See, here's the thing...that whole "my wife discovers something that really pissed her off...." thing? And your claim that you have the right to all the artwork you're using?

No

You

Don't

Have

Permission

For

It

All

Dumbass

Now, maybe someone lied to you. Maybe you were mislead. But you have a community that holds a grudge for a long time, is really persnickety about their IP, contains quite a few of the artists worth paying for RPG art, and you're trying to bullshit them?

Does the phrase "Burning your bridges" mean anything?

So yeah, if y'all want to have some fun, let Mr. Kimbell know that artists aren't stupid, and they know who they license shit to.

TED being that collection of Total Entitlementwhore Dipshits that get together once a year to listen to "inspirational" speakers, and jerk each other off while feeling better than everyone else, because they're at TED.

The gargling sounds you hear for the next few weeks will be the blogowhores sucking TEDcock like Belladonna in a throatfuck filmfest.

Face it, even Adobe can't make flash painless. I don't mean in a web browser, I mean in a local fucking application, like, oh Contribute CS4. Four times I launched that shit, and four times I watched it screw itself into SCODVille trying to display some bullshit Flash thing on the "Welcome" screen.

( Here's the screenshot: )

And you know, you'd think it wouldn't anymore.

You'd think that after the continual "fuck off' that the Acrobat team gives the Mac community, (Fuck your AppleScript, it's VBA or nothing, and lemme tell you, I think even with the return of VBA, it'll be nothing. The Acrobat team has continually lied about Office integration on the Mac for how many years now? You think I'll believe a fucking thing they say sans released product? Oh SHIT no! Sorry Lampwick, you'll have to work the salt mines solo), that it'd be easier to deal with.

Nope, still sucks. "Oh, just use FlashPaper to convert things to Flash for use with Acrobat Connect...wait, Mac user? Yeah, fuck off hippie, go get a real OS".

The sad thing is, Acrobat is really a decent product, but it's hampered by a team that only cares about you if you're an all-Windows company with > 30,000 seats. They could give a fuck all about you if you're a small company, and if you have Macs, you can never have enough for them to give a squirt of piss about your needs. Mac users are pretty much lucky they didn't keep the PDF spec private, and forbid its use on anything but Windows. (Yeah, I will in fact bet that there's quite a few people in that team who wish they could take that product Windows-only at every possible level.)

I imagine I'll get it high and hard a few more times from the Acrobat team while trying to use Acrobat Connect.

Too bad they aren't more like the CS team proper.

Adobe Acrobat Team = Annoying

Once again, thank you so much to John Gruber, for linking to this great post about how Adobe just fuxx0r3d basic UI principles in CS4.

However, I felt it was missing something, so I did a short video cast about CS4 and window handling. It's in the podcast link, the newest entry. I did the audio at work via the MacBook's built-in audio, so don't kvetch to me about how it sound. "Like Ass" is the way i'd describe the sound, so you're not telling me something new.

Adobe: Simplicity is our enemy, Bad UI

So after googling around, I found out how to do this, on a really badly-formatted site. So, here it is, a bit neater:

1. ssh into the switch, and enter configuration mode with "configure"


2. run: "snmpv3 enable"


1. you'll have to create an initial snmpv3 user called "initial"


2. I've been using the same passwords as for the "real" snmp user, but that's up to whatever your policy is. If the switch is exposed, you'd want to delete this user ASAP


3. when asked to lock SNMPv1 & SNMPv2 to read-only, say yes


4. don't create a user that uses SHA


3. create the "real" SNMPv3 user via: "snmpv3 user <username> auth md5 <authpassword> priv <encryptionpassword>"


4. create the group for snmpadmin: "snmpv3 group managerpriv user <username> sec-model ver3"


5. save the config: "write memory"

To explicitly look at the SNMPv3 user(s) use "show snmpv3 user". To view groups, "show snmpv3 groups". Note that you can use different authentication and encryption protocols if you so desire.

So yeah, I'm finally doing one. The link is in the "Links" section, just under the calendar, called "Der Podcast"

If you're expecting professionally recorded and edited stuff...um...you need to find someone else. This is me ranting into a Microsoft gaming headset. Some of them are kinda long, some are not. (There's only three at the moment). I don't have a schedule beyond "Yeah, that's about a page of notes, time to dump to audio".

anyway, yeah, Podcast.

Ted Haggerty just can't stay away from the penis...the money shot of the article, about a long-term homosexual relationship Haggerty had with a church volunteer, who, according to Haggerty's replacement, Brady Boyd: "Boyd said the church reached a legal settlement to pay the man for counseling and college tuition, with one condition being that none of the parties involved discuss the matter publicly.", is this line:

"It wasn't at all a settlement to make him be quiet or not tell his story," Boyd said. "Our desire was to help him. Here was a young man who wanted to get on with his life. We considered it more compassionate assistance — certainly not hush money. I know what's what everyone will want to say because that's the most salacious thing to say, but that's not at all what it was."

He said that "secondarily, it's not great for our church either" that the story be told. Boyd said Haggard knew about the settlement two years ago.

Oh honey, it sure as shit was hush money, no matter how delusional you wish to be about it.

The other great "aren't you even a little afraid there's a hell" moment comes from this article, "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion" by Joyce Arthur.

The sky, it's full of glorious fail and hypocrisy. Remember folks, just like George C. said, no one can touch religion when it comes to bullshit. They've forgotten more about it than we'll ever know.

• 10:06 @GreyAreaUK oh they may be at CES in some low-key form, but a big-assed booth and a non-exclusive Keynote? Riiiight #
• 10:06 @jaberg I've been being marginally polite #
• 10:09 @jearle what, you're doing generic news that applies for any situation? #
• 13:13 @DaveHamilton not surprisingly, the blaaghosphere LOVES CES, and HATES Macworld #
• 13:14 @DaveHamilton up to a point. Blaahgers have a place, but not at the expense of the people the show is really for #
• 13:15 @DaveHamilton the Dorkosphere are interested in nothing but their own self importance & entitlement, which is why CES is a good fit for them #
• 13:15 @jearle yeah...Paris might actually give you a hummer. iLounge isn't even good for that #
• 13:17 @ShawnKing on the other hand, Vendors won't have Apple doing all the PR buzz work for them, & will have to do more than just show up #
• 13:18 @jsnell god, I hope not at a CES level. It's hard enough having a decent conversation without a horde of idiots doing podcasts in the way #
• 13:19 Blaahgers are like Technohobos: They want endless handouts and toys, but won't do a fucking thing worthwhile to earn it. #
• 13:20 @ShawnKing @DaveHamilton of course Vendors will say yes. As annoying as Blaaghers are, they have the illusion of Free PR #
• 13:20 @DaveHamilton @ShawnKing I say illusion, because they only seem like they have this incredible reach.... #
• 13:21 @ShawnKing @DaveHamilton ...when in fact, it's really a small, incestuous technocirclejerk. Look how many sites do nothing but repeat PR #
• 13:22 the danger in playing to the blaaghers is that they don't WANT "common people" at their show. They want it to be all for & about them #
• 13:23 but it's the wide range of attendees that gives Macworld its strength. Not a lot of grandparents and families at CES #
• 13:23 @GlennF But Scoble lives on #
• 13:24 @GlennF *exactly*. There is nothing at CES of any use or interest to me, or anyone else who's not a reseller, or full-time press #

• 13:26 @DaveHamilton only if the people you're selling to read the blogs. It's easy to forget just how limited blogs are. #
• 13:26 @DaveHamilton the *vast* majority of home users don't care about tech blogs #
• 13:27 @DaveHamilton Which is why CES doesn't exist for them #
• 13:28 @GlennF @ShawnKing I'd definitley love to see MW have the community more directly involved with the show, now that Crazy Uncle Apple is gone #

• 13:31 @DaveHamilton hell, even MY relatives think tech begins and ends at Wal-Mart and Best Buy #
• 13:33 @DaveHamilton Google Juice and Blogs only get you eyeballs in the community that knows how to use them. That's a really small group #

• 14:02 @DaveHamilton it's not a case of like. Google rankings only work if people search correctly #
• 14:03 @DaveHamilton there's a LOT of consumers who don't just google for info on a product. That's what AMazon/Best Buy/Wal-mart are for #
• 14:03 @danfrakes that's why blaahgers like CES: no Proles to get in the way #
• 14:04 @paulkent excellent. MW 2010 should have the Gruber Track. All Gruber. All Day. #
• 14:05 @Angry_Drunk yeah, I mean...ass...mouth...oh, wait, the OTHER kind of ATM.. #
• 14:05 @paulkent I'm not saying ignore them/deny them. But CES is just insane with the entitlement #
• 14:06 @paulkent although without Asshole Uncle Apple, things HAVE to be easier with regard to media handling #

• 17:06 @Angry_Drunk Yeah, and they should all be the stars of a "When Dolphins Attack Your Ass" video too #
• 17:07 Hey Intarweb Douches, how about we be fucking sane here? tinyurl.com/92kdws #
• 17:08 @mdeatherage oh I know, and I agree. But we both know, facts never stopped anyone #
• 17:09 @ShawnKing what, you're supposde to assume iLounge ISN'T a bunch of lamer NMDs? #
• 17:09 @chuq exactly. it's not like Steve has personally had every good idea Apple came up with for the last 11 or so years #
• 17:10 @ActiveSkip thank you, and @mmchargue for the correct things to say on this #
• 17:11 @DaveHamilton however, keep in mind that under his original tenure, the Mac was doing really, really bad. #
• 17:11 @DaveHamilton it's original major success happened under Sculley #
• 17:12 @mdeatherage yep. It's also possible that Apple was waiting *to be sure* about what should happen next #
• 17:14 @ShawnKing he's invloved with a few things at a low level. Other stuff, not so much. Steve ain't approving Open Directory changes #
• 17:15 @iLounger Don't you have an iPhone case to jizz on? Funny how you are pushing the expo that hates "common" people & blows bloggers, isn't it #
• 17:16 @iLounger you SO do not want to get into it with me. You have no fucking influence over me, so go back and play with your blaaagher friends #
• 17:17 @ShawnKing right, and there are things he's heavily involved with, but it's not everything by a long shot #
• 17:17 @Angry_Drunk someone needs to explain to iLounge that I'm not really nice to NMDs #
• 17:19 @ShawnKing see? when it comes to the things I really care about, Steve's not even a factor, and sometimes, a bit of a hindrance #
• 17:20 @alwillis dude, it's going to be two hours of lame panicing. You could bring naked women and beer, and no one would notice #

• 17:49 @malfunction54 exactly. If Jobs personally approved that shitpile, I'd have kicked him in his cancer LONG ago #
• 17:51 I'm not even going to look at the comments on Macworld's story about Jobs. I'm cranky enough as it is. #
• 17:52 @chuq or they were waiting to see what would really happen. It can take a while to nail down a course of treatment in such cases #

My HIV test came back positive, and you're the only one i've fucked without protection microwave oven mobile phone IM SO PISSED

It's so random, it's almost beautiful

Surprise, surviving cancer is fucking hard, and announcing this before the quarterly earnings session was a good thing.

However, and I know I'm alone in this, and it's futile, but could people please, please, PLEASE not lose their fucking minds about this, and TRY to be even BARELY rational? Better yet, don't fucking bombard every apple.com email address you know with stuff.

Leave the man alone for a bit, he's going to be busy enough as it is. Just once, how about the internet not be a douchbag collective about this.

Also, speaking as someone who's lost both parents, and too many relatives to various forms of Cancer, I hope people leave him and his family the fuck alone. They're dealing with a ton of shit right now, and for the foreseeable future. The last thing they need are intarwebtards fucking with them.

• 18:59 @mdeatherage I've heard of it, but never seen it. The problem is, sans analysis, CPU load is a useless metric #
• 18:59 @mdeatherage if you have a busy AFP server, it SHOULD be using a gob of CPU #
• 18:59 @mdeatherage although, unfortunately, Apple's AFP server kind of blows. the best one runs on Windows: ExtremeZ-IP #
• 20:17 @gkra For one, Kerberized SMB without AD is a pain in the ass, and AFP is better in a mostly Mac environment. #
• 20:17 @gkra also, automounting SMB is not something I'd want to do sans Active Directory. #
• 22:08 @poorheather D00d! Hot Chicks with Douchebags ROCKS #
• 23:11 @ejacqui The true ST geeks say "Rihannsu" not "Romulan" to begin with #

• 07:05 @SlyM so you'll be underwear shopping ? #
• 07:11 @oscherler not *my* fault you live in the arctic :-P #
• 10:31 @film_girl actually, it was filmed in Boston, not S.F., at least the Macworld parts #
• 10:43 @sherjo part of @shawnking's rules problem is due to upgrading to 2008 on Saturday night #
• 10:49 @ShawnKing well, you *are* canadian... #
• 11:16 @ShawnKing @sherjo The one time Shawn's not drunk updating, and he's all sensitive about it :-P #
• 11:17 @film_girl oh that's FULL of WTF...I was at the BOS Macworld they were filming in. #
• 11:38 @film_girl that's so friggin' bizarre as a concept #
• 11:39 @willie actually, it's pretty easy. The problem is that when you update, the rules may or may not have a reliable folder to point to #
• 11:39 @willie so they tend to all point at the main Inbox, because that's safer. #
• 11:56 Oh Nagios, the way you make backup copies of your config files automatically as part of a version upgrade is SO hot #
• 12:15 @jearle lol...oh no, that was just a "Hey, I just realized, you do smart things so I don't need my backups" thing #
• 12:40 @ShawnKing isn't it nice to know how important your opinion is on such things? #
• 12:41 @jearle it's a big reason for my massive Nagios-Love...they just do stuff so right #
• 12:46 @AmyJane well, it's what people really want. Logic and all that is just stupid noise. What they want is their emotional response validated #
• 12:47 @ShawnKing you mean he wasn't a bitter dick before? Or is it that FSJ is no longer interesting since we know who he "really" is? #
• 12:53 @ShawnKing ah. Well, I rarely read FSJ, and the few things I read by him as himself reeked of "Wish I was Enderle" #
• 13:25 I didn't get sick at Macworld either. Healthy immune system FTW! #
• 13:44 @eastd how the hell does Guy go from "CEA will have an Apple area" to "Apple Booths" at CES 2010? He's not even trying anymore #
• 13:45 just dumped Guy Kawasaki off my feed list. If he's nothing more than MacScobleAppleRumors, fuck him, he's got nothing interesting to say #
• 13:54 @turkchgo no, but at this point, he's trying to dethrone scoble #
• 13:55 @jsnell oh I couldn't even begin to touch his twitspam feed. Even I know not to stick my hand into that kind of stupid nest #
• 14:06 @csaper yep. He's actually worse than Scoble. Scoble at least does his own work. Guy's just a fucking NMD link aggregator anymore #
• 14:33 @jearle only the feed for his blag #
• 14:35 @eullman how long do you need "over time" to be, and do you want to track remotely or on the machine you're monitoring? #
• 14:59 @seankaiser He'd still be a stupid lazy New Media Douchebag, and he'd piss off all his anti-profanity fanboys #
• 15:22 @eullman if you don't need to do it remotely, almost anything will work, there's a ton of options on VersionTracker... #
• 15:23 @eullman if you want to do it remotely, my preference is to use SNMP, (assuming Mac OS X 10.5 on Intel) #
• 15:23 @ShawnKing "round" is a shape #
• 15:24 @willie did you do anything strange to Office? I've yet to see that, and I abuse my setup regularly #
• 15:26 @ShawnKing I'm so glad I don't have to "convince" @mercuralis to go to MWE #
• 16:28 @ShawnKing BAAAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA..."As God is my witness, I thought MacMacs could bounce" #
• 16:28 @willie how did you install all but Entourage? #
• 16:29 @ShawnKing okay, so I do wish I'd seen that...I could have cleaned up on the betting #
• 16:46 @ShawnKing That would have to be a pretty low-slung bus for you to jump as high as the windshield...:-P #
• 17:09 @WhizzyBrine That's okay, @mercuralis can't believe she's married to someone who lives for execrable reality TV #
• 17:10 @ShawnKing hops in Beer don't count #
• 17:12 @flargh what's E'rage doing to you now? #
• 17:12 @SlyM will all of you stop it? I don't need to hear about how I haven't bought her chocolate lately #
• 17:18 @ShawnKing bite me baldy, I bought her some last night #
• 17:32 @flargh if you open the progress window, (cmd-7) does it lock up during downloads on a specific account? #
• 17:33 @flargh i've seen where a really badly malformed email will cause that. #
• 17:33 @flargh it happens with a lot of clients, just different bad emails cause different clients to lose their minds. Oh, 2004 or 2008? #
• 17:38 @flargh kill your network connection first :-) #
• 19:57 @WhizzyBrine no nicotine in smoked food, it clashes with the lovely almond flavor from the cyanide #
• 20:00 @WhizzyBrine No, you killed yourself after realizing Jeopardy is the high watermark for I.Q. on television #
• 20:02 @WhizzyBrine considering the mentality of most people who smoke meat on a regular basis, i'm in favor of MORE nicotine in that shit #
• 20:05 reading the Microsoft Office 2008 deployment guide and thinking "Now THAT'S what I want in my documentation" #
• 20:07 @WhizzyBrine New Nascar Beef Smoke, now with extra nicotine and sarin, for a he-man flavor you'll really love! #
• 20:11 @Schwieb oh, you gave me enough cowbell indeed #
• 20:19 attention ISV's. Go to www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros, and read the sections on deployment #
• 20:19 THAT is the correct way to document your shit #
• 20:30 @WhizzyBrine was there a lot of panic before you did your IT magic ? #
• 20:31 @arekdreyer wow, it's so cold here, I may have to wear long pants tomorrow! #
• 20:55 @WhizzyBrine THIRTY MINUTES!!! O NOES!!! OMGWTFKHAAAAAN!!!!111 #
• 20:56 @BillCampo You know at some point, Josh will see this and say "Your friends are all dickheads" #
• 20:59 @Schwieb now, if you guys were to add a command line and applescript component to the office 2008 updater, that would be teh roxx0rz too! #
• 20:59 @WhizzyBrine it was awful. You had to carry magazines for BLOCKS, then hide them in your room #
• 21:00 @WhizzyBrine or, if you were me, asked your parents to renew your Playboy subscription #
• 21:01 oh, found out today that iWork '09 uses flat files instead of packages. Maybe now, you can get file-locking without a fucking SAN! #
• 21:05 @nadyne but without it, you doom IT people to possibly interacting...WITH PEOPLE! Do you really want to do that...to the PEOPLE? #
• 21:05 @BillCampo lol #
• 22:28 @mdhughes I know. The speakers, well some of them, actually know what it's like to be hungry and sick. #
• 22:29 @mdhughes the attendees? They should all be mugged at the fucking door and made to go home sans ID, Plastic, and recognition #
• 22:29 @mdeatherage yeah, but then I think "Hey, I have a really nice mic, and I have some nice sound editing applications..." #
• 22:29 @mdeatherage and I overcomplicate it into the ground #
• 22:33 @vonswain Douchbag Heaven man: www.ted.com/index.php/ #
• 22:33 @mdhughes that's the best description of the TED audience ever #
• 22:35 @mdhughes it happens dude. Suddenly, hanging with the po' folks isn't cool. It totally sucks, but they were probably like that anyway #
• 22:35 @mdhughes they just didn't have enough money to really life the dream #
• 22:37 for all the new IT people...yes, it is that fucked-up: tinyurl.com/7cf42w #
• 22:38 @vonswain some of the speakers are cool. The ones that have actually DONE something, and there are a few #
• 22:38 @vonswain but yeah, for the most part, it's a place for the smug to be smug in the company of the smug #
• 22:39 @aulia hey, does iWork '09 actually lock files when they're open for writing now? #
• 22:39 @eullman lol...well, Scoble ragging on Macworld whilst giving CES a rusty trombone pissed me off... #
• 22:40 @eullman gee, let's see...CES does whatever Scoble wants, and Macworld does not..CES will be fine, and Macworld is circling the bowl... #
• 22:40 @eullman what an AMAZING coincidence #
• 22:40 @mdeatherage lol #
• 22:40 @mdeatherage true #
• 22:42 @docwho76 lol #
• 22:42 @aulia iWork '08 didn't actually lock files that were open for writing. So person b could delete the file that person a was working on... #
• 22:43 @aulia while person a was working on it. If that's changed, so only person a can mod the file they opened read/write, that would not suck #
• 23:58 MY WIFE JUST FOUND A PICTURE OF NAKED SCOBLE!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! #
• 23:58 HERE, YOU FUCKERS SUFFER TOO!!! tinyurl.com/7arm24 #
• 00:03 my wife is laughin at me #
• 00:24 @shrtcrt oh, I think the idea had validity. Our mistake was doing it, and hoping the distribution would "just happen". That didn't turn out #
• 00:26 @MikeTRose If *I* have to suffer having a wife who lives to make me see the unseeable, SO DO YOU #
• 00:26 @willie what/how did you customize it? #
• 00:42 @shrtcrt I'm pretty sure if someone offered Sam the right amount of money, he'd do it in a heartbeat. #
• 00:43 @willie ironically, that may be the actual problem. You might want to ping @nadyne to see if she has more insight #
• 00:43 There, I did a podcast! tinyurl.com/99uyda #
• 00:43 Now all you kids get off'n mah lawn #
