• 11:11 Amazing coincidence: I get kicked off RedState, and immediately I start getting emails I didn't sign up for. #
• 11:51 retweeting @Scobleizer - Twitter in realtime! firehose.stamen.com/ #
• 11:56 @akselsoft - I think I need to look this up myself, thanks! #
• 12:34 @akselsoft - absolutely classic. This guy deserved what he got. I might not have been able to name what Chamberlain did, but I wasn't on TV. #
• 13:32 @factoryjoe - interesting reasoning there... #
• 13:43 VFP folks -- anyone know why COPY TO XL5 is really slow on my system, where XLS flies? #

So I came home from work today and was heading in the front door when Eloisa came out of the restaurant and said, "Stop and have a cockail!" And I looked in the restaurant and my upstairs neighbor was beckoning to me from the bar, so I stopped. Just for a quick drink, mind you. Lemme tell you, a soju mango mojito just doesn't suck in the least, no sirree.

And then a couple of other neighbors came in and sat down next to us at the bar. Somehow menus appeared in front of us, and then I wound up with a glass of tres delicious sangria, and then pan seared scallops with pancetta mashed potatoes. I blame it on the heat... if I went upstairs and cooked dinner it would make my loft too hot. Yeah, that's my excuse.

I didn't order the decadent chocolate thing. Nope, no sirree, was not me. However, I took the obligatory bite of it when it wound up in front of me. It was the polite thing to do, of course.

Twice in three days... this could be a very expensive habit.

Sparc Ultra-1: slightly more than pocket change
OpenBSD 4.3: free
CD-R: $1 (or thereabouts)
Accessory hardware: Either free or already owned.
Firewall that can say "bring it, pop tart" to every skript kiddie on the block and swat them like flies?

Priceless

OK, all you cats enjoy the gorgeous weather, I gotta blow this pop stand and go help a brand new mangler celebrate her chains... :)

One of my poker buddies posted something on rec.gambling.poker complaining about California's recent gay marriage supreme court decision. One of his really bizarre concerns was that gay men might have sham marriages where one of them had health insurance and the other had AIDS. (We can safely ignore the fact that heterosexuals might have sham marriages for the same purpose.)

And then he posted this. When I got to the last sentence I had to make an emergency trip to IronyMeterMart.com. I got a six-pack.
