.. but I have no idea how that stuff works. like who pays for shipping and how to set up the sale and all that stuff. urg. if anyone out there has sold stuff on ebay, I'd sure love your input.
just curious. I had to do that on my first ever computer, a TI 99/4a.
One thing leading to another.. I've been thinking about looking on Amazon for some old school books full of type-em-in BASIC games. There's a BASIC emulator for iOS that I've been thinking about playing with. Maybe put some of those old games onto iGadgets.
What would 100110 come out to in either hexidecimal or Greek alphabet. Or whatever.
I'm constantly amazed that I have to talk people out of trying to book a room with one queen sized bed with a rollaway instead of a two queen bed room.
A one queen bed room is $10 less than a two queen bed room, but the rollaway bed is $10, AND not as comfortable as a real bed. Even after I explain this people are insistent on the dumb arrangement

Here's the finished product. (I need to get those fingerprints off the frame)

maybe half an hour ago. had a funky buzz after. I guess that's normal. went out to run an errand. came back and I think the buzz is gone. but I only kinda sorta know what I'm doing. a little later I'm gonna tackle the A string. lol.
 I like how the sides along the bandage don't have adhesive. You can put a couple in a row on a long scratch without getting adhesive on your wound.

Anyhoo. I'm posting music here for right now.
The Black Keys are freakin' awesome. Think White Stripes only way more bluesy. Guitar/singer and a drummer. Lots of overdubs on this. But it's really well done. Seems like they had a bigger recording budget.

Suggestions on guitar strings for beginner fingers?

I'd heard of the Gits ages and ages ago. Knew about the rape and murder of their singer Mia Zapata. But I hadn't really listened to any of their music. Yesterday I watched The Gits Movie.
Now they're my current favorite band. I downloaded a bunch of their stuff from eMusic this morning.
I'm not daring you to show up. And I'm not assuming that you're not going to show up. I don't care if you show up at all. I don't care where you were staying the night before you arrive here or how far you have to drive or blah blah Devil's Tower Badlands Rushmore blah blah whatever. I'm telling you the cancellation policy because I'm SUPPOSED to. We are informing you up front when we will allow you to cancel your reservation so you can plan accordingly if you need to. We don't need to know your plans. I don't give a fuck about your plans. Don't give me a bunch of song and dance after I've told you the cancellation policy. Just go "okay." Or if you're not digging our cancellation policy then go "oh, wow. tell ya what. we'll have to hold off on that." (or something like that. shorter if possible, but you get the point.)
Certain things a desk clerk tells you because he has to. The cancellation policy. The price of the room BEFORE tax. (we are not allowed to HIDE taxes from you by including it in the price.) We need to know how many adults and how many kids because that determines the price. 'Kay? Don't give me "I just want to know the price" when I'm asking you about AAA or AARP unless you really WANT to pay rack rate (rack rate=no discounts at all). When our computer tells me the rack rate is $189.99+tax, don't tell me you saw the same room on Priceline for $89.00 because I know our hotel doesn't have any sort of deal with them because we don't need them to book rooms for us.
blah blah blah!!! :)
I just got off work, now I'm going to bed.

Really simple recipes. Easy to make. I've forgone the complex meatloaf recipe that I've been using from Mark Bittman's "How To Cook Everything" and have 3 times used meatloaf recipe from this book. It comes out great. There's other meals in here that I might not ever get around to cooking, but they sure sound good. Next week I might try her breaded pork chop recipe.
Link: http://xkcd.com/739/Yesterday's xkcd has caused a bit of a commotion over at wikipedia. look up the word in question at wikipedia and then check out the 'discussion' page.
Generally these work related rants, just writing them makes me feel better This time it's about fraking license plate numbers OR "make and color." Generally the manager prefers the plate number. I get pretty angry sometimes when I ask for the plate number and people answer with "I have no idea! hahahaha!" and then they stare at me like they're not going to go get it. When it becomes clear that we're not proceeding until I get the plate number they give me a big sigh like I just asked them to help me move my sofa. Sometimes they go "I can go get it." Which is a nice thought, but you're wasting my time and yours. So I'll go "that's okay, just make and color is okay." and they go "No, that's okay, I'll go get it." and I'm thinking "NO. IT'S NOT OKAY. DON'T GO GET IT." I mean, that's why I said make and color is okay. F!CK! To bypass that whole exchange I sometimes lately have just been asking for make and color. I get a variety of answers to that. I love it when I get "blue Dodge pickup." That makes me wish I had a little box of gold stars. I'd stick one on their registration so my coworkers would know to be extra-nice to them. Sometimes I get "it's a 1998 Dodge pickup. It's my wife's truck. Normally we drive mine but this time we're driving hers. The plate number starts with a K or something. I'll go look." NO! DO _NOT_ GO FUCKING LOOK. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR PLATE NUMBER. Instead I interrupt them while they're babbling and go "and the color?" but they don't hear me because they're babbling or have walked away from the desk. They go "what?" and I go "the COLOR?" I ask for plate number, I get make and color. Sometimes I get the licence plate number AND the make and color. I ask for make and color, I get... FUCK. I think you get it by now. It's such a trivial thing. All I need it for is if you leave your lights on, or you leave your hatch open, or the interior light is on. I don't REALLY need this stuff. I don't care that much. Just answer the QUESTION that I ASKED YOU. Something that should only take maybe 5 seconds to ask and answer turns into a game show. Where the prize seems to be my sanity. Oh yeah, and if you stand there babbling to your friends/family/whatever after I've gotten your name, I'll wait all afternoon if I have to, without interrupting your terribly important conversation, to get your credit card. And the lobby full of people standing behind you wanting to check in can wait for you to finish your conversation too.
then where the hell is it storing passwords?
I've been trying to retrieve a password from my system so I can log into the site from work. My Keychain Access thing doesn't have it. I don't see it anywhere else in Safari. I'm totally puzzled.
