what?... who?... where?... when?

nevermind, the obvious is the obvious, here i am... right, well there is a critical update at microsoft that the laptop supposedly needs, but the trouble is the update is 567.3 MB and the horribly sucky att internet connection will take seventy five years to download the dang thing and besides, I have a 5 GB download limit that they didn’t bother telling me about when I signed up for the service they touted as so great…

so I go to Microsoft and attempt to get email support, but the pages time out and expire before the horrendously sucky att internet service will download the page… can’t get support, can’t download updates, bet att won’t protect me from viruses or pay for damages… I wonder what courts would say about that, since it’s the sucky att internet service that I pay more than $70 a month for is preventing me from protecting my laptop…

of course a very fair question is why does Microsoft make their support pages so huge that they cannot be downloaded at dialup speeds… one answer might be they don’t want to help customers… at least not poor customers…

so i'll try to remember to download it at work tomorrow if i can figure out which updates exactly this laptop needs since windows update keeps it a secret and wants to do it automatically, ya know... anyway, maybe i'll sleep now... erp...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
