Historic Downtown Washington, NC 27889 2007-02-08 01:34:29 As I sit here trying to relax after work all I hear is a dog barking. Since 4:30 this canine has been barking. He will continue until 11:30pm which is the time of night they bring him inside. At that moment the corner of Second an Brown street becomes silent.
Tied to a tree with four feet of rope - blazing heat, freezing rain. Day after day, week after week. I’ve talked to the owner and I’ve talked with the police. Everyone is baffled. How do we solve this easily solveable situation?

Trump advertising in Washington, NC? 2007-02-01 01:37:17 Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto has bought ad space on the Washington

I’m amazed by people that appear to effortlessly succeed at whatever project they decide to engage. First she recommends a magazine change direction. They put here on the Board and she takes takes them the nonprofit route. She is asked to write book reviews for Popmatters.com and within a few months is promoted to the Books editor with over 70 writers under her wing. In 1995 she took the Dead Mule School of Southern Literature online - that boys and girls was 12 years ago. After 6 years of publishing the DeadMule an interview was requested by Writer’s Digest Books for a part titled Exploring E-zines: A Literary Revolution Online. Here she was referred to as a web visionary. Later that year the New York Times covers the DeadMule. The next year they have her writing an article for the book. She’s one of those people that Read more:Trump

remembering the past 2007-01-20 00:00:31 First of all my wife is incredible. I rec’d a Christmas coupon/ticket/moneyThingy for use with Amazon. Couldn’t think of anything I needed so I passed it along to be used when needed. Val used it for - I’m thinking Grandmother Owens new grandchild - reserving a little that was used to purchase me a book from amz.
She selected The Shellcoder’s Handbook. Pretty neat by anyones standards. Looking through the contributers names I spotted Dave Aitel. Hrmm. I flipped to the acknowledgments page where I spotted Dave talking about the discussions on that took place on #convers. No talk of GARDEN or anything else, but it was neat tapping the past.
I would like to acknowledge Justine Bone for making it look easy; Oded Horowitz; Sinan Eren; Jeremy Jethro; Adam; Shane; the members of #convers who provided technical support, friendship, and inspiration; and the Internet comic group “GOBBLES,” for keeping me from taking myself too seriously with their many advisor
Ubuntu Linux Edgy and the HP PSC 1410v 2007-01-17 13:29:56 The HP PSC 1410v is a printer, copier and scanner. Does it work with Linux
? Yes. Alright, how do you install it with Ubuntu
Linux? Well, to tell you the truth this is where it differs from Microsoft Windows. The first step was to plug the printer in and then connect with a usb cable to the computer. My second step was to click add a new printer. It never once asked me to insert the manufacturer CD in order to continue the install process. I was robbed I tell you - ROBBED! This install was too darn easy. Not a bit fun.

Media Bloggers Association wins 2 seats at Libby trial. 2007-01-15 14:33:10 It started in 1995, that is when I began publishing online, first with a website for Washington, NC and a year later with the PHP, mySQL backend coding for DeadMule.com. A few years later we were labeled bloggers (thanks Pyra =). We were thought of as radicals. Now, in the Federal Court, we make history as two seats of the 100 set aside for journalist will be given to two professional bloggers.
Yet, after detailed talks with Cox, officials at the U.S. District Court decided that public awareness of court proceedings could be enhanced by his group’s members, among them documentary filmmaker and journalist Rory O’Connor ( http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog) and freelance writer James Joyner ( http://www.outsidethebeltway.com).
We’ve come a long way in the last twelve years.

RU31337? 2007-02-11 18:18:26 Why do smarmy interrogators populate the offices of IBX? Are they really that knowledgeable of life? Do they really hold the answers to life for those of us not lucky enough to be pushing papers all day, walking from office to office expressing our boredom or gossiping our work day away?
Perhaps they are masters of the world. Of course their view of the world is limited - as are their ideas, thoughts and conversations. Sorry, but sophistication requires more than putting Italian shoes on your feet.
You never really know who someone is, was or may become.

Cognitive/Learning Disabilities 2007-02-13 01:44:28 "Cognition" refers to "understanding" - the ability to comprehend what you see and hear, and to infer information from social cues and body language. People with these impairments may have trouble learning new things, making generalizations from one situation to another, and expressing themselves through spoken or written language. (Disability Law Resource Project)
Asperger's Syndrome - A neurobiological disorder similar to autism and characterized by serious deficits in social and communication skills. People with Asperger's Syndrome often have obsessive, repetitive routines and preoccupations with a particular subject matter.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - A neurobiological condition characterized by evelopmentally inappropriate levels of attention, concentration, activity, distractibility, and impulsivity.

When you put the DVD in it should open Totem for you, if it doesn’t then simply do this:

An error occurred
The source seems encrypted, and can’t be read.

Weekend upgrades 2007-02-19 13:45:14 Upgrades? Hardly… I was selling my thoughts and in the process of setting up the new distractions advertisers I stumbled upon an article techzi had written of new Alexa features.
We’re moving away from using the Old Second Street fencing area as a bird sanctuary to a more refined environment. The bird were able to negotiate an 8 foot strong hold.
Oh yeah, turned 39 on Friday.

Cisco router exploit 2007-02-21 02:02:50 Now this is funny. I just touched on this subject in a conversation today.
Cisco
Systems Inc. is warning users that nearly 80 of its routers are vulnerable to a hack tactic that got play last week.
Dubbed “drive-by pharming” by Symantec Corp. and university researchers who first publicized the danger in a paper, the attack involves luring users to malicious sites where a device’s default password is used to redirect them to bogus sites. Once they are at those sites, their identities could be stolen or malware could be force-fed to their computers.
OK, boys and girls. Since you’re too scared to ask:
Change your default passwords. No, not on your computer, we’re discussing the router here. If you still don’t understand then pick up the phone and call your handy $65 an hour techno guru.

Solar battery recharger 2007-02-24 03:24:16 From Digg peeps I ran across this battery
charger that is solar powered. That’s right, recharge the batteries using the sun. Pricing is reasonable, but the batteries are not included. So you have the digital camera of choice, the rechargeable batteries and now the sun to bring them back to life.
This charger will charge four batteries of the same size simultaneously. On a good sunny day, 4 x AA 2000mAh NiMh batteries can be charged in as little as 6 hours. The batteries are charged within the case, which features a fold out stand for directing the solar panel towards the sun.

Viacom and YouTube - break 2007-03-06 13:49:52 Paul’s write-up of the Viacom
/ Youtube split doesn’t touch on trust issue between the customer and the distributor. Sure, people will surge to visit one of the Viacom properties such as Comedy Central, but after the novelty wears off will they stick around? Basking from the Digg effect traffic doesn’t equate to success. Sure the numbers look good initially, but there is still the trust and comfort issue.
People are use to visiting G.B.S. (Google Broadcasting Service - logo needed). When folks tire of the flashy ads or non Flash 9 driven video formats guess where they’ll be heading. That’s right - back to Youtube or Google Video.
Plus just as Yahoo has for so ignored the crowd not on the Windows platform lost valuable buzz so will MTV / Comedy Central.
Here’s the deal Viacom. We, the end users, are in control now.
