I’ve waited my entire life for this announcement.
Wow. I’m third… Why am I up this late?
Ow.
I always wondered how -anyone- did the underpants thing. Now I know it is ‘cuz they all suck, um, I mean, are right-handed.
Also, I feel six saying underpants. Underpants underpants underpants. Yup, still six.
The last four hours have been something else. I guess I have to pay for the good luck I’ve enjoyed earlier this week. I need a nap now.
Well, I’m glad to see that’s finally been taken care of. Another one for society to check off the list. My congratulations to all the Deadpan Lefties.
Morning Dan. I think I found Bathroom times EVER!!
http://www.tetris-tiles.com/
Hmmm… Finding any bathroom tiles that are cool (please insert “coolest” between found and bathroom) makes them the coolest.
Metal Note: no posting before I get some tea in me…
That note was very metal.
I’m not sure what is worse. Using the wrong word or not following the advice in the mental note for a second time in 10 minutes. Wow I’m a Moron.
I just installed the Request Policy add-on to Firefox. A little bit more work, but some really fine-grained control.
Forgot the link.

Morning.
Run! Fly!
Good Morning, Pan!
This may be my last post today. I wish I had thought of something cool to say, so I’ll go with, “Where’s the bunny?”
Lejon: Don’t feel bad about not having something cool to say. I had 4 posts already and I just sound stupid.

Pat the bunny?
Morning!
Morning!
Morning!
Rumors of my demise have been slightly exaggerated.
Morning Pan!
Only in for a short hop. Have a bunch of things I need to do.
We’ve been breaking heat records the last few days in Alberta. Nice
Drive-by TEB sighting.
Leaving now. Have to go out and do a few errands. Should be back after lunch.
Would it be fair to say that TEB has been in heat ?
Morning, Pan!
On the menu today: clarinet practice, choir practice, and my first-ever official Tweetup! 🙂
Jack: An enjoyable Jersey-related tale. Otherwise unheard of.
And after listening to this episode, I have determined that Jack is part of a geek club. He called it a “keyboard clique”.
On the subject of underwear, I’m consistently shocked that men ever use those stupid little flies.
Ha! NSFW-ish:
http://pauldotcom.com//bathrooms.jpg
Metal zips can be very dangerous to the inebriated male.
Yeah, you only do that ONCE.
This conversation is making me think of the Elaine quote from Seinfeld:
“I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things.”
Wow, who’s up for a swim on the moon? (No lifeguard on duty)
Every once in a while I’m reminded of the . . . delicateness . . . of part of my anatomy. Often when I’m winding up long extension cords. There’s life living on the edge of volcano thermal vents and we can’t be just a LITTLE more protected?
I was pondering the OTHER advantage of the “left-handed” fly.
Wouldn’t it make the task of extraction, easier for the right-handed person who was facing you?
NOW you’re talkin’!
Good point, J0e. Now if only they’d make bras with hooks for left-handed men. . . .
???
Who knew left-handed men wore bras ?
Back. Picked up TOS Start Trek season two on Blu-Ray while I was out. Hubby will be happy
Our weekend will be spent cleaning out the bedroom. We got new furniture and it will be delivered on Monday. Now to tell hubby I bought a new bedroom suite without his input. (not as bad as you think, he knew it would happen this week)
Left handed men wear bras? I’ll have to tell my hubby he better start shopping for one 😉
Oh and LJ. You can let the missus know I’m about 1/3 of the way through the first book and I’m really enjoying it.
See if he’ll spring for the matching panties.
They’re manziers.
… er, that reads differently than I meant …
but maybe it works either way.
J0e, I’ll spring for the matching panties if I thought he’d actually wear them 😆
So looking at the episode title, is Jack going to pull out a dentist drill and start asking ‘is it safe?’ in a dodgy English accent?
He could get you do to it, Van. Then the accent wouldn’t be dodgy 😉
Right, right. Only a flesh wound.
Have now moved to the couch and the little machine. Kitty is very happy I have streatched out legs and a blanket. Nothing but purrrs here.
Good to see the Bunny up and at em.
I have had quite a day and it’s not even 2pm yet. It’s amazing how many people I have had actual conversations with today.
Is it possible to have too much interaction in one short period of time?
I’m officially going out of town this weekend. Have laptop, will travel. So, I’ll be around, but can’t say if I’ll be posting much while I’m in the cooler climate. Dan almost had to work and we were going to cancel our trip, but someone stepped up to cover for him so, I’m going to start packing!
Salsa Festival, here we come!
http://www.salsatrail.com/salsafest09.html
Have fun on your trip, Cj.
–Whoosh– goes that dentist drill reference.
w00t for your trip, Cj! Whether you’ll be salsa dancing or eating chips with salsa, I wish you and Dan a cheesy time.
CP: Making Me Nervous — Brad Sucks
JN: They’re not manziers,! They’re Bros!
Usedhair: Oh good, I was worried no one got the reference.
Do you like my hat?

Should explain all Jack.
After all of these years, I still have no idea what that movie is about. I suppose I should see it but that one scene (which is almost impossible to have NOT seen over the years) has put me off seeing the rest of the film.
I make a swell “Hard Cider” if I do say so myself!
Goodnight Mush
I’ve heard that Marathon Man scene described with reverence, but had never actually seen it.
Go Dog, Go is one of my favorite books ever.
Hmmm. It seems that everyone had a morning today. I’m not sure I approve of this trend.
Night, Pan.
Bloody hell. I wanted that netbook sleeve. I was too slow on the draw and missed it.
Morning Pan
So JN, is it your actual birthday on Sunday or did you put a false date in your FB profile?
Today is the day – Sigler comes to Houston. This time, I’m not missing out.
This time … it’s personal!
Jack – I’m more from the Seussian school. “There’s a Wocket in my Pocket”might be my favorite … after “Goodnight Moon” of course.
Vanamonde: It is indeed my actual birthday. Even though it’s a major piece of personally identifying information, I left that accurate in some places.
Thanks for taking note.
From the Department of Unfortunate Statements –
Research in Motion (makers of the Blackberry) are commonly referred to as RIM. Yesterday afternoon they released their quarterly earnings.
A CNBC host was talking about the market implications of their report and what it would say about the Technology sector.
His quickly spewed out comment as his segment ended was “We will know more after we get Rimmed”
hehehe
Jø – Congratulations. You’re older than you’ve ever been!
justa J0e: Thanks much. I would like to thank all the little people. The bacteria that allow me to digest food, the white blood cells, hemoglobin, the list just goes on and on.
Morning Pan!
Happy Birthday JN (I know it’s not until Sunday but I won’t be Panning on the weekend)
Doing a bit of work, then have some errands to run. May not even get any baking done today 🙁
Busy, busy, Bunny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc
TEB: Thank you very much. I will be out of state and webbernet-free for the weekend, so this works out well. 🙂

Read the crawl at the bottom. I can’t decide if it really aired or if it was added just for the YouTube clip.

Happy Friday, DP! It’s the last day of our vacation – it’s been a good one.
Last night we watched the original pilot and the unaired episode of Dollhouse — you were right Ed, they were fantastic!
maybe that last one would work better with the link

Now back to work
CP – Evo@11
Those cigarette packages are across Canada, not just in BC.
Morning EssBee. Haven’t spoken much to each other in a while!
I know, TEB!
My plan for today includes some landscaping, but with my bum shoulder, Sly B will be doing all the heavy lifting. We’ll also be watching more TV, because we’ve only watched about 5,000 hours of it this week, and making some macaroni and cheese.
Oh, Mac and Cheese sounds good. Maybe for lunch….
I’m actually now out. probably for the day. Likely for the weekend. A girlfriend of mine is taking me out for the day tomorrow. We’re going to do lunch, see the movie 9 and then see what the evening brings 🙂
TEB – thanks for the Cosmos link. It was swell.
It also led to this one which made me smile.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luVjkTEIoJc&feature=related
Enjoy, TEB!
Tonight is my 20 year HS reunion. I am not going.
No.
Re:Reunions
ick
Have a fun weekend, Bunny!
EssBee, why ruin a perfectly good evening with a reunion?
And btw, I know this was posted here before, but I just wanted to share again.
Death by Powerpoint:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
At Evil, Inc., execs actually email PPT files back & forth as a way of communicating with each other. Complete mis-use of PPT. There should be a fine for it, or hard time.

I was kinda proud of my “bearded lady” joke on Evo@11. /all about me
I’m only about 1/2 way through Evo’s recent show. I don’t have a lot of non-child time on the weekend and something about that show just forces me to listen when they aren’t around. Not sure what it is… 😛
ZOMG, what does it mean that I find Jeremy’s rugby team’s calendar super-hot?

I love Rock n’ Roll so put another dime in the jukebox baby.
Wait, let me check …
Yep, The Heart of Rock n’ Roll, the Heart of Rock n’ Roll is still beatin’.

Woah …. did I post that exact same comment last week?

That. Is. Brilliant.
You’re not the only one, JOe.
Safford – I have arrived here.
I bet they’re saying “Holy shit it’s Mavrick and Goose!”
Holy crap. It’s Dubshack!
Now it is night. Night is not the time for play. It is time for sleep.
Goodnight.
Dubshack!
So – we went to see the Australian Pink Floyd show tonight. . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_JeIpRHjuc&feature=PlayList&p=68B292BB3146E1DB&index=0
Man. They were absolutely incredible. You really must see them when they come through your town.
Happy Saturday!
I love Pink Floyd.
And I like Chrome Floyd, you know, the little robot from Planetfall.
I might be repeating myself though, I hope not.
Here’s what we are doing today: http://www.appleannies.com/special_events.php#fall
CW: Heroes. Why exactly am I watching this after last season?
I think my brain needs a day off. No thinking today.
Ahhhh that’s better.
Poems in episode 45 produced… bonus Audio Drama acquired for Oct… damn I am tired.
Dollhouse S2 opener was a bit of an anticlimax for me.
Re: Dollhouse – on TiVo. Haven’t watched yet.
Parting of the clouds … I shall go to dinner and a movie tonight. A last minute date as it were. Going to get Thai food and see “The Informant”.
If I do say so myself … I clean up rather well! 😉
Every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed J0e.
LOL
If that were true, I’d have a Party on the Patio.
Hey, but at least I’m not having a TV Dinner … or headed to LaGrange.
You’re still allowed to rock the Cheap Sunglasses.
With luck, I shall do that in the morning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc This is pretty cool.
Had a good time at the Houston Scott Sigler meetup. My sympathies to you who were spending a Friday evening at home.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ultimate_ed/sets/72157622336044005/
Watched the S2 opener of Dollhouse after getting home. I thought it was a pretty strong start, especially given the flash forward that is Epitaph One.
And, speaking of Flash Foward – watched that on the TIVO today. They’ve come out swinging hard with that one. Hopefully it will payoff.
Though, the preview for V was most intriguing. I don’t remember the Slice gang ever mentioning that Inara is the face of the reimagined Visitors.
Nice, JOe!
Damn I miss Carl Sagan!
Jack, that link made my night. Thanks.
This weekend has been made of win so far.
I even took a nap. In the middle of the afternoon. ZOMG… that NEVER happens! Two hours! TWO!
And I read about 4 chapters IN.A.ROW in the book I’m currently reading.
So Good! I share the joy with all of you – and I will post pictures in a day or so 🙂
Glad everyone is having a fun weekend.
Cj: What are you reading?
I’m grabbing Cosmos via P2P, boy does that bring back memories.
Oh and I’ve said this before, but it still stands, the book is still a good read..
Naps in the afternoon can be good.
Off to see Surrogates today, may check out Creation tomorrow before I hit the rail tracks.
Carl Sagan’s efforts to legitimize science in our culture simply cannot be understated. I think our friend Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson has done more than anyone else to continue his work.
And this is unrelated, but fun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luVjkTEIoJc&feature=related
Hopefully not literally.
Don’t literally hit the tracks, Van. Let us know if we should see Surrogates.
Well back, and Surrogates is worth checking out. I haven’t read the comic so don’t know how faithful is to the source material. The plot is interesting if a little well worn (a useful technology being turned on it’s users).
Good morning, DP!
Van, sounds good. I plan to check it out, but maybe not until DVD. I rarely go to the theater.
Jack: That video made me want to go watch all the episodes of TOS again. I love TNG just as much, but the TOS has so many colorful characters and a bit more of the silliness which that video clearly highlights!
Amy: I’m reading Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner. http://tinyurl.com/y9hhprx
And also a good good good morning to all of you!
It’s a snuggly day! so…

Back in Mesa and chillin’ out at home now.
I hope you’ve all had as good a weekend as we have! 🙂
Also, we listened to Evo@11 on the trip up after the kids fell asleep in the car. The bearded lady joke was funny.
So I saw “The Informant!”.
It was not the “slapstick, laugh riot” that the previews would lead you to believe.
It was actually quite funny but it was more like … well sort of like a documentary (it is based on a real characture and events) but full of “The Daily Show” type. ironic humour … and a lot of that “How stupid can people be” type humour.
I thought it was well done and had some really good performances.
I recommend it – but maybe as a matinée or video rental.

I’m so relaxed I think could actually sleep more. Is it wrong that I also feel so guilty for feeling so relaxed. Soooo not used to this. We should go away more often.

Cool.
Me? I wasted mucho time today. I’m ok with that.
Nitepan.
I hope today is not an indicator of how the week is going to go. I’m not sure I have enough vim to handle more days like this.

It’s back to Evil, Inc. for me . . .
Have a great Monday, DP!
Morning Pan!
Saw 9 on the weekend. It was…It was. I’d say wait until it comes out until video. Hubby and I wanted to see Surrogates but life got in the way. I was rather indifferent to the graphic novel.
Working this morning and getting the bedroom ready for the new furniture.
I couldn’t agree more re: Dr. Tyson. I’m a big fan of his work and his sense of humor.
I think that’s about it for now.
Dr. Tyson has a podcast called Star Talk that I’ve been listening to.
Good morning!
I’ll be off to the gym this morning and then it’s end of month and I’m going to get started early. I have high hopes of being productive today-this week-etc.!
Fan of Dr. Tyson as well.
Was a big fan of “Cosmos” as well. It had the added plus of being a show my Dad really liked so watching it became one of those father/son “bonding” things.
Oh … and good morning all.
Essbee – Best of luck at Evil Inc. (don’t drink the Kool-aid)
TEB – remember to use twice as much mounting hardware when attaching those mirrors to the ceiling. Better safe than sorry. 😉
Thanks for the advice J0e. What about the mirrors we’re lining the walls with, too? 😉
Oh yeah, and what’s the best angle to put the video camera at? 😳
…. errr, in my case I’d have to say “Pointed at someone else’s bedroom.”
🙄
Oh gawd what a horrible thought, to wake up and see myself looking down.
There is some advantage to being short sighted after all .
justa J0e: Very cool re: father/son. I think my closest was Dr. Who.
TEB/justa J0e: Gives a “four-camera shoot” a whole new meaning.
You should see my digit-el effects!

The external Maxtor drive that contains my music and podcast library … has suffered a power failure. Don’t have time to troubleshoot at the moment but this will really suxor if I can’t revive it.
CP: Uprising — Muse
Joe: It probably is the adapter.
I also got into watching Cosmos with my dad as a kid.
There really was a time when all my life was channel 13.
Workout complete. Washing machine loaded. Eating poached egss. 15 minutes to myself. Ahhhh!
TEB: Thanks for the podcast heads-up. Added to my feeds.
Usedhair: Thanks for the new site. I think that’s almost as good as thinkgeek.
back back back … and it’s gone! High above the outfield bleachers. Jack’s reference may have made a new altitude record as it soared over the heads of all the kids and left the park!
Reference?
Channel 13? Sesame Street? What does it mean?
Damn, this it too much pressure.
Johnny Null got the Billy Joel reference! As a prize, he gets eaten by a white shag carpet.
It’s still rock’n’roll to me….
Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?
Ed, why are you being deported? Did the Mexicans retake the Alamo?
Happy Story to Share.
Really it’s not that exciting, but I went to the grocery store to get milk as ours expired over the weekend. Picked up a few extra things – fruit was on sale which is always a win.
So we are in line to checkout and it’s taking longer than I’d like so I go to the self-checkout and start ringing up. The cashier in charge of the self-checkout hands me this beautiful in bloom long-stemmed pink rose. (actually she gave it to my son and said, “Here give this to Mommy.” Then the bagging dude gave my son a balloon.
It was like we’d won a prize or something just for being regular customers. We shop there all the time so we are recognized, but it was just a couple little things today that were sweet.
It’s often the little things that can make or break your day. 🙂
The weather person used the evil four letter S word to describe conditions later this week. I refuse to believe it.
Sweet!
CJ finds herself on the receiving end of ANTI-douchery FTW!!!!!
there is no word more evil than the s-word in weather…
*”Snow… Hate you so much!!!” says reaper shaking his fist to the sky*
Snow and cold are both four letter words not to be said in polite company.
Luckily, at this time of year, it won’t stay on the ground more than a day.
I granted myself an extended lunch and watched this season’s “Doll House” premiere.
It did not disappoint.
Yes, Doll House is keeping me interested.
To be honest, I was indifferent to the season opener of Dollhouse.
Laid out on the couch under a warm blanket waiting for my furniture to arrive. Kitty is very happy.
“Kitty is very happy.”
PPPPlleeeeeease let that be a euphemism!
Kick Ass!
If that thought makes you happy J0e 🙂
Here’s to happy kitties everywhere.
Eskimos have 40 different words for snow.
We have 40 different cursewords for snow.
I have trouble believing YOU, or Cj have any words for snow, Jack.
Yeah, we mostly just laugh when we hear someone say “snow.”
Hmm we have slushies that we get at the QT – they come in different flavors. Sometimes 7-11 has them with sugar free flavors so I can have one too. I like the sugar free Pepsi slushie. Slushies are the closest I want to get to anything snow-like.
S.N.O.W. – Something Nobody Obviously Wants
(at least according to this message thread)
I like sno-cones. That’s about the only way I like snow 😉
They don’t make sugar free slurpees at my 7-11 but Macs will ocassionally sell sugar free cherry ones.
Is anyone else excited to go see Toy Story in 3D? Am I alone in my love of these 2 Pixar films? (Toy Story 1 and 2) and I’m scared for #3 when it comes out. I want it to be great.
While I enjoyed the Toy Story movies when they came out, I have no pounding desire to see them again. Maybe when they hit DVD.
I love PIXAR films.
3D ? Not so much.
I don’t care how “good” it is … the novelty of “3D” lasts about 5 minutes with me and then it’s just an annoying distraction to whatever story they are trying to tell me.
I agree kinda on the whole 3D thing, but I admit it I did see Captain EO more than once and it was pretty cool.
It also wasn’t 90 minutes long.
I think I’m mostly just excited to see the movies in the theater with the kids. They are 2 of our favorite movies to watch as a family because we ALL really enjoy them. I think seeing them on the big screen is going to be super fun!
Someone from Wisconsin who moved to AZ and when asked if we would ever move back. his answer was “Hell no” when asked why he said “You don’t have to shovel sun shine.”
I personally want to move back to Seattle.
My bedroom furniture is here Woot!
TEB: Congratulations, you’re a… Wait… What do you get called when bouncing baby furniture arrives?
Cj: For me, the term “3-D” has always signaled a “Look Out, Cap’n! She’s Gonna Blow!” sort of warning (i.e. “please don’t watch our bad movie, for it will suck much”) – Sort of in the vein of Jaws 3-D or Spy Kids 3-D, etc. – However, Pixar went through much effort to develop the scripts for Toy Story and Toy Story II – the only thing that could screw up a 3-D version of them is the addition of pointless “oo-ahh” moments. If the 3-D is used to enhance the original story, that’ll probably work.
In Fact, I recently listened to a [url: http://www.chuckchat.com/technorama/?p=1313%5D Technorama [/url] where they interview a guy from a In-Three (a company converts 2-D films to 3-D where the final product looks as if the original stock had been filmed in 3-D in the first place.) They were probably tapped for the Toy Stories films.

Oh… Uh… Sorry about testing out my not-so-1337-skillz on this live comments page…

With my freeze-ray, I will stop… The world…
I’m with justa J0e re: 3-D. Plus. when was the last time a 3-D movie stood the test of time as well as even an old B&W film?
I’m still waiting for more films in 8-D.
JØ: Oh, yeah, they’re annoying as hell if the whole point of the movie is to sell 3-D… I have heard that Up, on the other hand, used it as an enhancement, rather than for cheesy effect, and did a good job of not being annoying. Of course, I haven’t seen up yet. Fear of heights and all…
Jack Mangan: Yeah. Whatever happened to Buckaroo Banzai’s sequel?
Lejon: I had to go to your link for sure after all that work you went through to post it. Saved and will listen.
Jack: 8-D? Would you just settle for Double D?
I enjoyed the movie Up. It was a bit of a tear-jerker. I did not, however, see it in 3D.
Cj: Yeah, I stuck the dismount on that one… It’s a shame so many mandatory deductions to my intelligence got made in the process.
I suppose 8-D would be a bit much to handle.
LOL
It was a shitty day, but you guys always make me smile.
BTW, I thought the Toy Story movies were brilliant. . . during each of the 38,000 viewings. I’m not so sure about the 3-D double-feature, though.
8D? Definitely risking a sprained tongue with that one.
I am intrigued at the notion of seeing the Toy Story movies in the theater again. Though, I’ll be curious to see how the double feature works. I’m sure my kids (or myself) could sit still for three hours….
As for deportation – my company has an office in India and I’m heading there for a week for coordination and training. It’s about 20 hours in the air each way. My contact will probably be pretty sporadic starting Friday.
Well over on this side of the pond Up is coming out next week and I will probably see it in 3D.
Saw Creation today, as a costume drama it’s not bad, but it’s not half as controversial as the hype is making out.
Unless you think Darwin was part of Satan’s master plan..then you may find it getting you riled up.
Is the 8D version the one made for the Elder Gods and any mere mortals trying to watch it will go mad?
Does the Dog die in Up? please tell me now so I can not watch it.

Van: No. Dug, the dog, does not die. It does have a Nemo/Bambi/Sleepless in Seattle type beginning, however.
Did anyone watch The Cleveland Show (Seth MacFarlane’s newest animated series)? I wasn’t that impressed, but I’m having a hard time deciding if it’s just because they had to do so much character intro that they couldn’t fit in many jokes (like the start of American Dad) or if every new series he does will suck just a little bit more than Family Guy (like American Dad). I suppose that only time will tell.
Clarification: sucking more than Family Guy means that the quality goes down a little bit. Neither Family Guy nor American Dad sucks.
Insomnia strikes at the most awkward of times.
Wash dies
So many new shows to watch, give Cleveland a miss.
-give +gave
We watched a lot of Episode 1s for a lot of new shows last week. Mostly, we were underwhelmed. Keepers so far:
Flash Forward
The Forgotten (25 year old crush on Christian Slater)
Modern Family
The Good Wife
Yeah, EssBee, I can see where watching a lot of Episode 1 would underwhelm anyone.
“company converts 2-D films to 3-D where the final product looks as if the original stock had been filmed in 3-D in the first place.)”
I guess what I’m getting at is … can you name ANY good films that were actually made better by being in 3-D?
J0e: Metal Storm: the Destruction of Jared Syn
here.
Just delete “Heroes” from the DVR record list. It feels good.
I tend to like “Family Guy” in small doses. The gag after gag kind of numbs the impact to me.
ZOMG. I’m laughing so hard after watching these 4 videos in a row that my arm hurts.

Now that you have suffered through those … go watch the Foo Fighter’s version

go figure
I’d never seen that befre jJ. Awesome. 🙂

And – I actually only like the cinnamon Mentos. Not sure if that’s important, but there it is.
I do recall the Foo Fighters’ version better than any of those.
I also remember seeing a pre-pre-pre-Youtube dirty web video. Pootos, I think?
Goodnight shum.
Morning Pan, heading off to London today.
Jj: I would say that any movie with Dolly Parton would be made better by making it 3D, but you distinctly said any GOOD films, so I’m at a loss.
This morning finds me looking for my warm, snuggly jacket.
brrrr
Oooh, London!
I’m with ya, Rhettro. Heroes has GOT to go. Bye bye.
Have a great day, DP!
I deleted Heroes from my recording list while it was recording this seasons premiere.
I haven’t felt any regret.
Vanamonde Vanamonde where have you bean …
Buckaroo Banzai: I’d love there to be sequels, but I’m pretty sure they’d be super-awful. So I don’t want there to be sequels. Yeah.

Attention Computer geek types.
It seems that I need a new enclosure for my Failed Maxtor external drive.
I’ve never shopped for such a thing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It is a Maxtor 500GB “One Touch III” drive with 2 Firewire ports and external power.
That’s about all I have to go on. Oh … the current case is about 1.5 x 5 x 8.25 inches.
CP: 2112: Overture — Rush
Honestly, joe, unless you really need to recover what is on that drive, you’re probably better off just getting a new external drive. I’ve seen Terrabyte drives going for less than $100 now.
If you really do want to reuse the drive, you’re going to need to pull it out of the case so we can determine what kind of interface it has (ie. SCSI “scuzzy”, IDE, SATA) – that will determine what kind of new enclosure you would need to get for it.
I refrain from putting my $.02 on hardware topics since I know absolutely nothing.
[J0e’s question is beyond my expertise]
ditto, I think that song is the reason for my “dwts” misunderstanding.
[/J0e’s question is beyond my expertise]
DWTS: You’re welcome. 🙂
Don’t you hate it when you keep staring at something and your brain just refuses to make sense of it even though you know it shouldn’t be something complicated?
I hate it when something I can’t make sense of, just keeps staring at my brain.
It’s starting to creep me out.
Thanks Ed.
This is actually my “back-up” drive … except that after I had backed up 2 computers to it … I still had 200gb of free space just laying there whispering “Take me. Take me NOW!”
Being the data ho that I am … I quickly organized ALL my music and podcast files onto that drive and was using it to feed iTunes.
All that stuff is around here … somewhere, but it would be worth $60 to me to just move the drive to a new housing.
BTW – I WILL NOT be going bigger then 500gb until they come up with a drive that never fails. That would just be too decimating!

I think the key is to always have backup copies of the important files. Then your primary HD’s death is just annoying, not devastating.
Or as Roger Waters said:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water.
You tell’em, Pink.
*baaaaaa*
*baaaaaa*
Careful with that ax Eugene.
Jø – “Never” as long as I can fight it.
Maybe they will start giving away old 100gb drives and I can just utilize a shelf full of them.
Jack – Just one back-up ??? In my research for this problem I actually ran across post where people were being chastised for not having made back-ups OF THEIR BACK_UPS !
So now you are expected to own three, 1 Terrabyte drives for every Terrabyte of data you wish to hang on to.
Nice.

Yeah I’m nervous.
Good Luck to you Van! Hope it’s a wonderful experience for you! 🙂
Today was a sausage-fest on the DP! My gawd.
Good luck, Van. Here’s hoping you charm the pants off of that somebody. 🙂
No panic, Van! You are a smart, witty, charming, considerate motherfucker.
She’ll dig all of that stuff.
Totally! Smart, witty, charming, considerate motherfucker. *swooooon*
I’m telling you: Charm those pants OFF.
Vanamonde: It’ll go great!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a chick use the term “sausage-fest”. I for one refuse to tuck!
Helmet party?
Hahahaha! New one on me.
Crap. One of my fave scary flicks growing up was “It”. Actually, I thought it was “It”. Apparently I have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s a black-and-white film. As I recall, scientists find a UFO under the ice in the (ant?)arctic. The action takes place in the shelter that they’ve erected there. There’s a great scene where a guy is going to do an autopsy and surprisingly the body on the table has been infected by the alien whatever, has grown a mouth in the corpse’s torso and bites the dude’s arms off.
Any guesses as to the title?
Is it The Thing from Another World
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044121/
I’m just taking a guess at this one.
Lewis Black on The Big Bang Theory FTW
Good Luck Van!!!
Yes, I think “The Thing From Another World” is what JN is talking about. Many people know it from the Crappy John Carpenter remake in the 1980s “The Thing” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/
A double dose of Good Luck for ya, Van. I think EssBee and Jack said it best already.
I know the Carpenter remake wasn’t a “great” film … but I’ve always kind of liked it.
Maybe I just have a crush on Goldie Hawn.
The Carpenter film was more faithful to the original story than 50’s film in that the monster was a shape shifter.
You can decide for yourself:
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Highrise/3756/jc/who/bonusid.htm
I watched the b&w just last week. Honestly, I enjoyed both versions, but I have a weakness for Carpenter cheese.
And Johnny, I’m pretty sure you’re confusing the 2 versions. The chomping scene wasn’t the black-and-white. Probably the color, but I dunno; it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it.
I only have podcasts for the 5shuffle, but here goes naught:
Cover Feedback Through Temple Natural
(Trapcast | ISBW | Touching the Monolith | HP Podcraft | Dave’s Psych Class)
The stomach chomping scene is in the 1982 remake.
Not a fan myself, but Primeval is coming back:

Really? Not that I care, but I thought the report was that Primeval had been canned.

Good luck with te Evil, Essbee.
Food for thought –
“Transportation officials said in a research report that 5,870 people were killed and 515,000 were injured last year in crashes where at least one form of driver distraction was reported. Driver distraction was involved in 16 percent of all fatal crashes in 2008.”
I would point out that after just 80, “air bag” deaths (over a period of a few years) in the U.S. resulting from children (or small adults) being in the front passenger seat of cars when the airbags deployed … Congress lept into acion and forced the auto industry to change car designs so that the driver could shut off the airbags.
Apparently the Cell Phone/Hand Held industry has a MUCH better group of lobbiest.
Morning Pan, almost done with the Vatican Assassin, Vatican Ambassador, Vatican Abdicator series of book from http://podiobooks.com very good listening. and Nathan Lowell just released Captains Share
http://podiobooks.com/title/captains-share
Nathan’s series of books is the best I have listened to.
I don’t know what I would do with out podiobooks.com. Listening to books brightens my day.
Ah, excellent. Thanks! That looks to be it. I’ll put it to the top of my queue (the original). Let the Halloween movie-fest begin!
I usually really dislike listening or reading a series if it’s not completed. My memory is lackluster enough that the period of time between installments really interferes with my enjoyment. That being said, I’ve been listening to The Stolen Moon of Londor on Podiobooks. I’m quite enjoying it. The first six files are up.
Morning Pan!
Was supposed to be downtown today but I decided the four block walk from the train station to the office was not in my best interest – Or is that I wasn’t interested?
Anyway, at home again this morning. Not going anywhere all day (stupid start of month end)
Hubby is leaving town for a couple of days 😥
I wonder what kind of trouble I can get into while he is away?
I never start a book listening to a book till it is finished. I got burned on that once with a book the was pulled because it was not updated for a year. And again when I started a book with 3 parts left. That book did get finished but it took nearly 6 months to get out 3 episodes. I even made sure to look at the past releases to see if they where consistently released… live, listen, and learn
After reading the comments:
Van, like everybody else, nothing but well wishes firm in the knowledge you don’t really need them. You’re a great person and anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool 😉
I find I need that tactile bookness. I’ve listened to several books both through Podiobooks and Audible and find I don’t often finish them. More often than not, I’ll start a book then pick it up, if it’s available in print form, to finish it. I’ll sometimes read during commercials on TV and it’s also harder to start/stop an audio book then an actual book in that situation as well.
My hubby, on the other hand lives for his audio books. He has an hour(ish) drive each way to/from work so he’ll put it on and listen as he’s driving.

I still strive for nicest. I hope your sheets spread in an acceptable manner today.
My assistant is retiring – Friday is her last day – and I am so not going to love life after she’s gone.
Ok, I’m off — have a wonderful day, y’all!!
I have a 40 minute drive to work for listening and also I go to the store often which is 10-15 minute drive there, grab the ear buds when i’m in the store than 10-15 minutes home. add washing dishes and i get quite a lot of time. Being dyslexic sitting down with a book isn’t easy; sometimes it is even a chore. I read the Harry Potter series and it took my kids (15 & 17) about an hour to read 2 chapters but for me 2 chapters might take a full week of reading over lunch hours and when my wife was watching something on TV i wasn’t interested in. I don’t think I would have picked up a book again if podiobooks hadn’t made me interested again in reading.
Next on Fox!!
They listen to audio books… They prefer the old fashioned paper kind…
Can these two different types of people get along or will it be *dum da dum* WAR!
All that being said, I did enjoy Both the Star Trek novel and Coraline in audio form. Sylar and Neil Gaiman are both good readers 😉
If it’s something short, I’ll listen to it, but anything larger than a few hours, I needs my old fashioned hand held 😉
Just shows there’s a market for both.
ooohhhh, had to change one of my work passwords today. There are four of them that I have to change quarterly and I can’t use the same one I used in the last year, nor can they have too many letters the same as the previous one. Let’s see if I remember what I changed it to tomorrow
I think Wild Raspberry will be the tea of choice for today

Heading out to volunteer in my little girlie’s classroom this morning. I, too, have to start month-end prep.
I even went to bed early, 9pm, last night to give my eyes a computer break since I’ll be looking at the screen non-stop for a couple days.
Have fun at school, Cj.
I just finished reading The Watchmen. I’m waiting for my son to finish it so I can watch the movie with him. Reading it makes me want to pull out my old comic books and read them again. I don’t have many but I did enjoy reading them.
I hate end of month jobs. Making sure backups work correctly is very dull. But on the upside I have more time to Dead panning
reaper: I have a cyclical love/hate relationship with comics. I think I’m currently coming out of my hate phase again.
Last month’s month end was kind of fun. With Cj’s help I learned to spice it up 😳

I seem to have pretty much given up on dead tree media for the foreseeable future. I’ve got a couple of books that I’ve started, but haven’t managed to make the time to finish. I’ll probably end up getting them as audiobooks – I finally got myself a subscription to Audible a few days ago. About 36 hours in the air back and forth to Bangalore, plus layovers is going to give me a lot of time to listen.
I’ve picked up the original Dune and the first Dresden Files as my two starters. Dune I read many years ago. Dresden I’m trying on reputation, particularly EssBee’s endorsement.
I have returned.
What I miss? 😆
For me … it hasn’t been a mater of choosing one media over the other. It is a mater of life forcing me to go with audio or go without.
There just isn’t time to read books unless I give up the 2 TV shows I watch every week … and even then, I’m not sure that one hour ever twice a week would let me really “get into” a book.
Oh yeah. Not exactly going to be a secret because:
1) I don’t care if he knows and
2) I’m horrible with surprises anyway.
I was at Sentry Box yesterday and saw a couple of movies I was talking to Jack about when I was in Arizona. Do I send them for Christmas or hold on to them and give them at the next DP meetup?
Re: What I miss?
naked twister.
We had to end it when the paramedics had to be called.
Damn! I miss all the fun stuff 🙂
I’ll listen to audiobooks when I’m at work, otherwise I too prefer actual text. And I hate reading a book on my desktop. An e-reader I’d try.
I prefer the audio versions when I’m in the car or at work. I can read and drive, but I keep hearing about that is supposed to be dangerous and my wife freaks out when I drive with my knees, so… And I get coated in grease and ink at work, so I would have to read really really fast to finish before the print got obliterated.
On the other hand, I have never been as immersed in an audio story as I am with a text based. If my eyes can wander, they do. And then I find myself thinking about something else and then I realize I’m not listening (again) and trying to rewind to the point where I dropped out is way way harder than just flipping the page back.
As for deadtree versus digital, as long as I can get the text formated to about the same width as the average paperback, I’m good. Well, it cannot be CRT tech. That flicker just drives me nuts when I try to read off it. All in all, that pretty much means that I can and have read books on my phone, but I greatly prefer the paper.
Looks like I yammer a lot when I am tired. Good night pan.

I’m thinking hot dogs for lunch.
Yup, definitely, hot dogs.
Back in a bit!
I like to read. Dead trees make me feel all comfy, but I find that I am 1.) a slow reader, and 2.) reading puts me to sleep (does not matter how exciting it is, I will pass out after 5 straight chapters)
I’d like to try an electronic reader, but I’m not sure which one I’m willing to amputate an arm or leg to get yet.
I’m home. Just thought I’d alert the deadpan.

Just so you know, I’d do it again given the chance. Cj has cute ears 😉
I think one of my favorite lines from the weekend was when Jack said, “I’m just wondering how far you two are going to take this.”
Note: He looked hopeful.
Since Cj and I have spoken about me “staying with her” if we do it again. You never know… 😳
Are there still thoughts of doing it again in March? Haven’t heard anything recently
Umm…. is my badge from the meetup still around? I wouldn’t mind having it.
What’s in March? And where?
We put in on the poster of missing Deadpanites. Send me your address and I’ll print up a new one for you and your wife and send it to you.
That would certainly add a few “m”s to the DeadpanMMMmmmeetup.
I guess we should pick a weekend. And determine the interest level for a gathering here in March.
I’m in! Any weekend would work. Hubby won’t be able to make it regardless.

She told Sarah she’d be friends with her if she her candy! UGH! So Sarah comes home and asks me to give her some candy to give to this girl so she’ll be her friend.
I’m going to have to do a MM episode on this one. Why does she want to be friends with someone who doesn’t treat her well? Why does anyone? I suppose adults do this too, but it’s a lot easier to tell another adult “Walk away. That person is treating you like crap and you deserve better.”
I hear you, Cj. I wish there were easy answers. Especially ones that little people would understand
It is tough for young kids to grasp the concepts of true fairness and respect – for self and for others. But a small percentage learn, as they get older.

Morning Pan, trying to wake up.
Morning, Van. I’m still up and should be trying to sleep, but my brain is fried.
Work (for everyone else) got canceled for a power outage. It is deliciously quiet here tonight.
Just listened to Flash in the Pan.
Thanks for liking the footbal scene Van. I’m surprised no one else liked it. How can you go wrong with Brian Blessed knocking people on the head.
Jack, you didn’t like Shock Treatment? I’m astounded. I love that movie.
