Starting Saturday, March 13th, I will be away for two and a bit weeks. I was going to post on Friday and let the world know, but I am having lots of trouble getting motivated to post anything this week. As I have such a routine, and ordinary, life there is always trouble finding anything personal to post. Since I am winding down, it is difficult to find the time to surf and read anything interesting computer wise. I have to make sure everything at work is in order for a two week absence. Thus nothing to post.
So I will just sign off here and hope that someone will visit me when I post something again on March 30th or 3st. Until then enjoy life. I will be trying my best.

It's just for guys this Monday. First I ran across the Man Code at dgjomnes.co.uk. I think that these rules are a good starting point, and guys all around the world should join together and endorse most of them. Any that I disagree with are of course optional.
The other interesting item is for anyone who wants to let it hang free! Sacfree, by virtue of the name gives you the idea of what I meant. I never realized that I was being so constrained. If I did, why not just switch to boxers? Maybe someone will buy me a pair and I can discover what I've been missing.

It's Friday so I won't post anything important. Just a little Friday Fun.


An old lady goes to the doctor.
"I've got a bit of a wind problem" she said "But fortunately it's silent and never smell."
"I see" replied the doctor "Are you sure they don't smell at all?"
"Absolutely" she replied "I've farted at least 10 times since I've been here and I bet you didn't notice?"
The Doctor gave her a prescription and asked her to come back in a week.
A week later she returned looking quite annoyed.
"I don't know what's in these pills" she said "But since I've been taking them my farts smell terrible"
"Good" the Doctor said "That's sorted your sinuses out. Now lets work on your hearing".

Anyone old enough to remember the classic '80s games like Pacman and Frogger should visit Classic '80s Games. All you need is a Web browser and the Macromedia Flash plug-in (probably already installed in your browser software).

If you are running Windows XP visit Kelly's Korner for 300+ tips, tweaks, and fixes. A disclaimer, as expected, says use at you own risk but there are some great items there that you will want to have.

An interesting site to bookmark is Distrowatch where you can find info and links to various Linux sites to download .iso images. The list looks very complete and includes the freebies like Knoppix and PCLinuxOS. Mandrake, Red Hat, and Lindows are all there. I'm going to go now and download the latest livecd for PCLinuxOS. This one is based on Mandrake and includes 1.5GB of destop apps. I love Knoppix so this will have to be pretty good to displace it.
