    ATOT Effect Please

    http://www.enjoyillinois.com/sevenwonders/chicagoland.html I'd be much obliged if y'all would help break the tie and vote for the Baha'i House of Worship. I think it's an incredible piece of architecture and symbol for the advancement of humanity. Thanks kindly.

    Canon imageRUNNER 400S

    Well guys I'm hoping that one of you will have some experience with this printer. I need 7 copies before noon. Unfortunately the fax machine is about to run out of toner so it won't be able to handle the copies. It gets used to infrequently it's ridiculous. Anyway, the copier has 3 error lights...

    Yerba Mate!

    So I've been working for Apollo Group doing help desk for the past month and one of my coworkers drinks a South American tea called mate (pronounced mah-tay). Last week I asked him to grab me a kilo and a bombilla (a straw with a filter at the end). For only $10 I got the kilo of mate and a...

    Who here likes fine cigars?

    There's a great little shop in Mesa, AZ that I go to called Habanos Torres. Last week I had a nice 30-year aged double corona shape cigar. It was highly excellent. Sitting around the pool on a Saturday afternoon drinking Scotch and smoking cigars. That's the life.

    So I Think It's Time To Upgrade My Bicycle

    http://www.dynamicbicycle.com/buy/Bikes.php?prodid=53 The above bike looks pretty decent. It is probably better than my current bike... a 1975 Schwinn ten speed road bike. I am tired of having to put the chain back on and it is a little heavy.

    So I Got Evicted Yesterday

    Yeah, around 2 pm yesterday the constable knocked on my door and told me to GTFO. Now I had a paper sent to me about a month ago saying I would be evicted if I didn't pay. So I paid after I got the form and thought everything was hunky dory. Anyway, two days ago I got my check back in the mail...

    So I took my bike to the repair shop today...

    Four thousand dollars for that road bike. If I could afford $4K I would get my car fixed. Anyway, I was amazed by how light the thing was in comparison to my 1975 Schwinn Sturdee road bike. The owner of the bike shop kept trying to sell me one of the bikes there. All of them were far out of my...

    Newb's New Ubuntu Box Questions

    I traded off an Athlon 64 3200+ S754 for a whole Ubuntu box. I am a complete newb to Linux and I guess Ubuntu is pretty easy to get around in. I just ordered a whole bunch of Ubuntu CDs as they are free and just about everyone I know is pretty tech savvy. Now, I'm looking to install it fresh...

    RANT WARNING Gah! Stubborn traders on FS forum.

    Damn I hate these people who think that they should get back what they paid for the item. It has been used! Just because you paid $200 shipped for it doesn't mean after you used it it will sell for $200 shipped. I mean come on be somewhat reasonable! Ok I feel better now.

    I figured out how Wookies poo.

    They must poo from the bottoms of their feet. Chewie must either keep himself ridiculously clean around his butt or he poos from the bottom of his feet. It makes far more sense that his digestive tract would run down his legs as the compression of locomotion would make it easier to move the...

    Slowest customer I've ever had.

    I do tech support for SBC Home Networking. I just had the slowest customer I've ever had call. The man had one hand but no headset. It took forever 27 minutes to setup an account in Outlook Express 6 using the wizard and then he needed to complete registration... Oh boy.

    Here it is. He got the layout done by a friend of his. I'm not very good when it comes to site design so I can't say I could do better. Unfortunately I think that the layout and design could be drastically improved what do you all think?

    How are the Forgotten Realms books?

    Started one today by R.A. Salvatore. It's called Homeland. So far it's a decent book. There was a comment in preface about this series originally started by the original author and how he wants to be surprised in books and games. What games are based on this?

    Mark Crockett the author, is a co-worker of mine on the sales floor at Costco.
