I shared a few laughs with Scott, Kat and Wendy at the Blog Meetup. The highlight for me was listening to the story of "the gambler" who called up Wendy and threatened her regarding her "weird-ass website". She posted the mp3 off of her answering machine!
We talked about how to dig up old web pages we used to maintain.
Wendy will try to find hers on the Wayback Machine.
Scott, always the detective, plans to search the tape archives of St. Scholastica for the web pages he had up in the 90's.
Also, don't fall for the scam of "Monster Cables" for your stereo equipment. They don't help anything.

Internet explorer was acting so strange for a while that I started using Mozilla instead. I finally took the time (Today is "learn new stuff Friday") to find out why. Symptoms: Right click was really slow, it only allowed me to save pictures as .bmp files, and I couldn't get "view source" to work. Two resources really helped: IE answers and Annoyances.org I changed the registry settings for McAfee virus scan that cured the right click problem (why the hell would a virus scan be related to right-click in a program?) and then I emptied my cached internet and history files and that seems to have fixed the .bmp problem and the view source problem. I had so much crap in cache that it was using all available memory alloted. Funny how this never happened on my old machine with a fraction of the memory.

Trying to recapture that rainy camping trip where I had my first cup of coffee and experienced Kairos, I sometimes quit drinking coffee for two weeks just to get higher than hell when I start drinking it again. I described this practice to a dude who went to college in the late 70's and he said, "Ahhh. that's called tipping the angel." I have not found any other reference to this phrase. I don't know if it means you are giving an angel a tip or actually tilting it over. Did he make it up? Is it a lost expression from 70's drug culture? Has anyone else ever heard this expression? I suppose I could ask him if I could track him down.
