Funny you should mention that. On Monday I went from Gold->Platinum

(I really need to pay attention to comments better... sorry for the delay.)

Yes. We'll both be in.

We look forward to seeing the little one. She's quite photogenic.

Yeah, one of these concerts had a really attractive audience.

Well a strange baby has a negative desire score as far as I'm concerned. At present the single compelling reason for me to want a baby, is to have my own, to mold in my own image. I'd at least need to start with the right seed stock.

Joseph,

I have them somewhere... About 2 years ago I lost my free co-hosted server. I had to move things to a shared service. It turned out to be such a pain, that they never were properly restored. I just changed hosts a few hours ago. Bandwidth/storage should no longer be a concern... and setting it up should be easy.

I'm looking for my backups now. Worst case they are sitting on a machine in back in Pittsburgh... it may have to wait until the next time I'm home.

Yeah, I think the backup of the twiki is on a machine at home... a place I haven't been long enough to follow through on. I'm in Athens for the rest of this week, but I should be home (England) for most of July. That should give me enough time to comb through my backups and see what I've got.

If I remember correctly the caliper rebuild notes were pretty thorough.

I am an American living in England (as of November '06)... if anything the Brits are more judgmental and certainly more class-aware than any American... they are just very subtle when/if they choose to express it.

And to clarify my post... which may have been a bit more crude than you may have noticed. There is something fundamentally extra sexy about an attractive woman riding a bicycle. Not cross-training, spandex-clad, energy-bar munching, helmeted, "serious"-cyclists... but women using a bicycle for transport... preferably wearing boots & a nice skirt. I never saw this in the US, but it's fairly common in Europe.

I don't have a statistically valid sampling of other men's opinions on the subject, but my view is shared unanimously with my coworkers who have traveled with me.

Yes she did. My mother came through. The postman shoved an envelope full of JIF To-Go packs and Hershey's Kisses through our mail slot early in the week.

Hello. Sorry, she disabled comments on her site because she was getting so much spam (hundreds of spam comments a day.) I need to help her migrate to a newer blog setup, so we can turn them back on.

Re: Reducing my carbon footprint… ah, fuck it. Where are my keys?

Damn straight.

It's a smart car for heterosexuals.

In the last 2000 miles I've averaged 42.7 mpg!

The only problem is that I now drive about 5 times more miles than I used to...

Re: Wii Drive Noise Fixed

Spammers seem to like this article... this and the one comparing the Garmin Zumo and TomTom 910 generate about 95% of the spam comments on this blog. (Which Askimet filters out)

Sorry to hear the noise returned. It is really sensitive to adjustment... I spent at least 2 hours getting my drive to be quiet AND stay quiet. It was like the beginning of Raider's of the Ark, when Indy replaces the head with the bag of sand (minus the giant rolling stone & angry natives)

Good luck.

Re: At another conference

Mark Dneovich — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:05:04 -0000

No, I didn't. Damn it! I didn't have the time during the first day... but knew I'd have plenty the second... the simulator guy didn't show on the second day. *sigh*

Re: Truth and Economics

Mark Dneovich — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 07:04:05 -0000

So "economists" who fail to understand markets, also fail to understand the absurdity of this fiscal stimulus package.

What exactly is the mystery here?

Re: Pittsburgh Hash House Harriers

The way it works: Show up, have a beer. Run a few miles (often singing along the way) trying to follow the trail (they purposely set false trails) to more beer, possibly repeat. At the end they take care of club business, sing incredibly raunchy songs, and have a bite to eat.

You don't have to be a good runner, or a heavy drinker, it's more important to be open-minded and fun.

There are hash houses the world round, each with their own customs.

Re: Gmail Import

Instead of modifying the subject, change your gmail address thusly:

say I'm uploading my oldSent folder I'd use: account+oldSent@gmail.com

Then I'd build a filter for To: account+oldSent@gmail.com

weird. Gmail is hosting my domain (yet another beta service from google)... so maybe that's why it works differently.
