so many animal calls
It's not like me, but the siren song of the link roundup cannot be denied. Apologies to everyone I'm ripping off:
- The first thing I've heard about Google that genuinely worries me. Solution here.
- The second-best CafePress shirt I've seen.
- The third awesome crochet thing I've learned about (#1: multidimensional crochet branes, #2: Valerie talking about stabbing people last Tuesday).
- Four: the bullet entry where I abandon this stupid numbering scheme. But check it out: $560, well-reviewed 30" LCD HDTV, Microcenter (B&M only). Who am I to resist? So much for the new austerity.
- Verizon FiOS service blocks more ports than regular DSL. This is done to keep you from running a webserver on your home connection — the link is fast enough that you could get away with it for small sites, and Verizon doesn't want to supply that much bandwidth unless you're paying for business-class service. Fair enough, but it puts a damper on my hopes of fiber service — I like to run SSH over 443, since it provides a nice mixture of accessibility-from-behind-firewalls and not-getting-attacked-by-chinese-hackers-every-night. Dreams, shattered, etc. Sigh.

it's those pesky knitters you've gotta watch out for, as far as stabbing goes.
apparently tho, the crochet can get pretty out of hand as well.
hey TOmmy, I like talking about the Google virus. What exactly about that thing you linked to 1) scares you and 2) surprises you?
I didn't realize that google cookies -- which are unique per user -- are kept indexed against the searches you run. I had assumed that searches weren't logged to particular users. That they are = no good.
Thanks for the tip on the knitters, Valerie. I'll keep an eye out. You might want to think about sharpening the non-hook end of your needles, though -- right now you're at a pretty major disadvantage when shit inevitably goes down.
