Monster.com SUCKS. A lot.

You may or may not know it, but Monster.com was recently hacked again. Emphasis on the “again”.
What’s most annoying about this is that a company like Monster.com DOES NOT HAVE IT’S USER’S PASSWORDS ENCRYPTED.
What the hell?! In this day an age, when everyone is concerned about phishing scams, identity theft, and the like, a company [...]

Please get warmer

Tags: ,

There’s still a ton of ice outside. I’m really hoping it warms up so I don’t slip and die when I run today. I spent 2 hours chipping ice off the driveway yesterday; unfortunately I cant’ run on *that*.

Major Slowdown with MS Visual Studio 2008 Install

I recently upgraded to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Pro, as I’m attempting to expand my programming base out to other languages (C#, C++, more VB, etc). Boy… did this puppy bring my computer to a screeching halt.
I should mention that I’m very anal about my computer; I have a ghost of a clean XP install [...]

Thanks, Senator!

A shout out to Pennsylvania Senator Wayne D. Fontana for providing free notary public services! I’m not sure if they all do that, but it was very convenient to walk down the street and have my papers notarized in 2 minutes! As an added bonus, the notary was super friendly.
You’ve got my vote, Senator!

To those who do not shovel sidewalks

Tags:

I wish horrible things upon your head.
I am so SICK of slipping and sliding and flailing and falling every time I go for a run because some inconsiderate fool can’t take 5 minutes to shovel his/her sidewalk. There is no excuses. None. Zero. I don’t care if you’re 80 years old. Hire someone to shovel [...]

Eff it…I took yesterday off. I NEED to run today. No guts, no glory.
Here’s hoping I have skin left when I return.

Damn you, cold weather!

Tags:

Sigh.
I woke up this morning full of energy, ready to tackle a 5-mile run after taking yesterday off. I get up, do my situps and pushups, wander into the kitchen to get something to drink, and notice the temperature: -2. Damn. That’s cold.
Here’s hoping it goes above 6 degrees. If so, I’ll run. I’ll be [...]

The end of Google Video

Looks like even the great Googleplex can take a hit once in a while, as they are shutting down Google Video to new uploads in a few months.
