I can’t deal with the plethora of morons that constantly call me for technical advice anymore. Some guy who wants to convert a video to burn on a dvd doesn’t understand what resolution and frame rate is… I waste 30 minutes trying to get someone to type http instead of htpp… they dont understand the difference between Google and the address bar… The worst part is that they substitute quality with volume in their responses, taking the time to read everything on screen in hopes that I’ll understand their problem better. NO! You’re just wasting more of my time! I knew what was wrong after the first sentence! I’ve had enough of this shit. If you call me, expect to be billed at $20/hour.
I think I’m going to do what strat suggested: http://www.scarysquirrel.org/special/movies/foamy/bhermit.html
and I’m definetely proudly sporting a few of these from now on: No I Will Not Fix Your Computer
Unless you want to work with me on something [or know how to ask the right way***], then save your breath and ask Google instead.
*** means:
- Reading the Jargon File Doc on asking questions
- Offering me food, drinks, or alcohol where appropriate

one of my political science professor’s favorite poems:
Give me some rice,
you son of a bitch,
or else I will eat the flag.
A Blonde and a Brunette jump off a tall building at the same time. Who hits the ground first?
Both of them hit the ground at the same time. Hair color doesn’t affect acceleration due to gravity.
What’s worse then finding a worm in your apple?
The Holocaust.
What’s the difference between a Jew and a pizza?
A Jew is a person adhering to the Jewish faith and a pizza is an oven-baked, flat, usually circular bread covered with tomato sauce and cheese with optional garnishes.
A bear walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a beer. The bartender says, ”Sorry, we don’t give beer to bears in bars.” The bear replies, ”I guess I will have a soda instead.” So the bear and the bartender talk over nonalcoholic drinks all night about the reality of interspecies communication.

I read this: Describing and predicting behavior: The Big Five
took this: Internet Personality Inventory
and got this: Check out my personality profile!
you know how lots of different philosophys say that black cant exist without white, good without evil, love without hate, etc. and that as soon as someone says something is beautiful, something ugly is defined as well?
Do you ever find in practice that the more you love things the more you hate things too? Your perception of reality always stays balanced in each opposite extreme relative to the quantity of the quality you experience more or less of?
I guess it makes sense, for instance if you find yourself stuck in a bad position and you just hate everything, the things you love mean that much more to you. Oh! The word for it is zero-sum.
I don’t know, just thinking.
update: maybe it’s just because i’m experiencing life a little more now, everything affects me more. who cares. i should delete this post and every other one!
