Several Things Of Note

Please don’t send me Microsoft Word Doc­u­ments. ‘Nuff said.

The Origami Boul­der Com­pany sells finely crafted works of art.

The 419 Eater details a hilar­i­ous scam­ming of the scam­mer in this effort to fight back against infa­mous Niger­ian Scams (419’s).

Me and Jeremy get­ting mad props for Chan­nel 18 on Mefi Music

Another Chatham fam­ily right-time-right-place news­pa­per appear­ance.

On those Inter­webs, you have to know how to ask ques­tions the smart way.

Some­times, it’s use­ful to know how to snatch an expir­ing domain.

Another use­ful thing is A List of Every Web­site Sta­tis­tic Pub­licly Avail­able.

Sit back and laugh as you make your best friend talk to his/her ex boyfriend/girlfriend on the phone.

Joey’s his­tory of bands in Louisville is good. That’s pretty much how I remem­ber it too.

 

The Old Switcheroo

On Jan­u­ary 2 I’ll be going back to work at the Air Force Com­bat Cli­ma­tol­ogy Cen­ter, but this time with a new con­trac­tor, P3I. My pre­vi­ous time there ended when the con­tract ran out and there was no money left to rehire me, but the new con­tract started with the new com­pany, and it is good for a few years. They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, and Ali­cia and I decided we were in need of a lit­tle sta­bil­ity in the work sce­nario right now. My posi­tion will be Web Appli­ca­tions Devel­oper and Designer. That’s a mouthful.

I’m really look­ing for­ward to being back there in a lot of ways. I had a lot of good friends there, and have missed the com­radarie as well as being able to work on some high-end appli­ca­tions and sys­tems. I’ll be able to hit the ground run­ning since I spent a year and a half there already.

How­ever, I’ll def­i­nitely miss the flex­i­bil­ity I’ve had and the fun time I’ve enjoyed with Posi­tion Builders, espe­cially the hacky sack breaks. It was really tough to make this deci­sion, and I feel bad about leav­ing what was an excel­lent job with great people.

So that’s the news.

Fol­low­ing up on the pre­vi­ous post about the Ion ITTUSB turntable, I can’t find one in stock any­where. I went ahead and placed an order with Ama­zon, but they said they wouldn’t have it in stock until Jan­u­ary 27 — Feb­ru­ary 15. If any­one knows of any­where that has one of these things in stock, PLEASE let me know! I can’t wait that long!
