Linguistic Profile I couldn't resist taking the linguistic test that Leland linked to on his blog. Here are the results: Your Linguistic Profile: 75% General American English 10% Dixie 10% Yankee 0% Midwestern 0% Upper Midwestern What Kind of American English Do You Speak? Given my background, I'm rather stunned that I scored a big fat zero on the midwestern scale. I think Carol and Mom should take the test. 8:47:23 PM    comment []

Major XP Task Manager Issue Solved! For the past several weeks, Ping's Windows Task Manager window displayed just the process list. The application, performance and other tabs weren't displayed. I was trapped in the process list mode. I figured something got roached and something hideous like a reinstallation of XP would be required. At the very least, I expected a patch install. However, I finally got around to visiting the Microsoft support page and the very first listing under task manager was entitled Task Manager Menu Bar and Tabs Are Not Visible in Windows XP. Voila! As it turned out, my task manager was operating in tiny footprint mode. To get it out of microscopic foot mode, all I needed to do was double click in the top border of task manager window. Which I did. And, magically, all the task manager tasks appeared! That was easy!!!!!!!! 8:35:37 PM    comment []

Ahhhhh.....It's Friday! I'm a dead person. And this dead person is very happy that it is Friday. Weeks like this one should be few and far between. Anyhoo, not only is it Friday, it's a sunny Friday with a sunny weekend on the way. By 3:30 PM this afternoon, there were only three of us left on my floor at work. 8:23:01 PM    comment []
