Jobby Surveys

[music | The Birthday Party - Hat's on Wrong]

Huh, my top 9 were all "mechanical" of some sort. I'm pretty sure that if I did anything more than fill my fluids I'd probably set my car on fire though. Strangely Printing Press Operator outranks my current job by 10.

1. Small Engine Mechanic
2. Appliance Repairer
3. Farm Equipment Mechanic
4. Millwright
5. Aircraft Mechanic
6. Motorcycle Mechanic
7. Automobile Mechanic
8. Heavy Equipment Mechanic
9. Diesel Mechanic
10. Electronics Repairer

Another Weekend Another Blown Show

Missed Infected Mushroom at Axis, but we ended up having fun bowling at Jillians. Wish Natalie was there though. Next time I ignore the optimists and buy tickets ahead.

Web-Designer "Defined"

[music | Bjork - Storm]

Why do companies constantly classify programmer/DBA/admins as "Web Designers"?

No Cure Show

Hmm. I just get a short contract job, and the only show to fall within the contract period gets cancelled the same day. Someone trying to tell me something?

Opting out of phone books

[music | The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties]

This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode which had Kramer bricking over his mailbox to try and opt out of mail, but I'd like to never receive another phone book again. Is that possible? I can't find anything on Verizon's site with a link to "call us and we'll never send you another phone book" or anything like that.

I can't remember the last time I actually opened a phone book to look for anything.

Mongol Rally

My brother-in-law is almost finished taking part in this year's Mongol Rally. They have made it from London to Mongolia, though their car and one of its occupants did not. There are several posts below that were pretty interesting along the way:

For very small values of "genius"

[music | The Prodigy - Charly]

It just took 3 technicians 17 minutes to pull a drive from my Mac Pro and slide in a new one. That includes (4 days plus) 7 minutes looking for a new one.

Big as a Fucking Really Big Brick

[music | Shriekback - Nemesis]

From what I gather, my Mac Pro is shortly to become a doorstop, according to S.M.A.R.T. in Disk Utility. That makes me sad. I think I have all the critical stuff backed up to a second internal drive, it gets one more startup tomorrow to try and get everything else onto an external drive. Then I guess it's a trip to a repair shop.
