If pi day wasn’t geeky enough for you, it’s now time to party for 1111111111! That’s right, it has officially been 1111111111 seconds since the Unix epoch. As of right…… now! (8:58:31 pm EST) Congratulations Unix! You’ve brought so much joy into the lives of sysadmins everywhere. (we seriously need more posters here to…

Mmm, pi. Happy pi day (and Einstein’s birthday) to geeks everywhere! 3/14 1:59:26 Take that second of your life to think about how much you owe to pi and Einstein! You wouldn’t have modern technology or circles without them! If you need some geeky inspiration, check out today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day – an…

I was driving home from work today, passing through the wonderful part of town with constant police surveillance, when I saw a house. Not just any house. It was fairly run down, and had signs all over it – ones stating “Stay Away”, “No Trespassing”, and my favorite: Keep Out – NO DRUGS I think…

Even with SP2 and all the recent updates, just going to a website can modify or delete any file on your computer. Trash it. And if the past is any guide, it won’t be fixed for months.

I’ve been working on importing all the articles and comments from old halffull. Trust me… it’s a *huge* job. I could probably write a script to magic the SQL over, but it’s a one-time job and I wanted to fix up some of the text anyway. I may skip a few posts, so if anything…

Announcing the official Halffull Bulbous Bouffant Mapping Contest! If you haven’t heard the song, watch – and trust me, you’ll need to listen to it a lot. The idea is to make a written map of everything they say, and figure out if it is in fact possible for only three people to be involved,…

I suppose I know it had to happen. It’s almost sad, though, like finding out the easter bunny isn’t real, that storks are only the middlemen, or that Delta Burke won’t be doing another Designing Women reunion. Yes, they’ve found the airspeed velocity of unladen African and European swallows. [p.s. If you don’t know what…
