The darnedest thing...

[kickaha]

I have a trick I use when composing an email draft that I don't want to accidentally send, I type the name 'noone' in the To field. Why? Because eons ago I worked with an emailer that wouldn't let you leave that field blank before composing the mail, and I got into the habit.

It's nice, because while you could type in the name of the person you want to send it to, appended with 'notyet' or something, autocompletion of names frequently makes that more troublesome than not. Silly, but true.

Anyway, today at work I did that, and the LDAP autosearch popped up someone with that last name, filled out the address completely for someone in the UK. Poop. I guess I have to hope nobody has the last name 'nobody'.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

'No Body Messages' in *Brazil*!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


BASTARDS!




grr.

Yeah, that three weeks makes a *big* difference, old man.

I don't have viruses and I don't even know what a kernel panic is, so YOUR ARGUMENT IS RENDERED MOOT

*munches cookies*

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

Don't listen to him, we totally have the best cookies. And lightsabers!

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

OMG, you were running with a lameassed STAR WARS reference?!?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Okay, Sith have cookies. MS? No cookies. Unless they have tacks hidden in them. That I'd believe.



Wait... don't your Star Trek toys blow up if you start embracing Lucas or something?

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Kernel panic = BSOD. I bet you know what those are. ;)

And regarding the rest, well... http://doodleplex.com/glassmaze/?p=447

;)

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

No, I have enough hate for the prequels it all balances out. I like to keep my toys guessing anyway. ;)

And I was going with no references, I just wanted to see where you'd take it...I was not suprised. ;D

Oh I know what they are but I haven't seen one in a long time. :p

Re: Zune: Don't look at me, man, I don't buy MS products BECAUSE they're MS products. Unlike, say, Mac zealots. :p

[gwyneira.livejournal.com]

I wonder if my email admin would let me set up "titfucker(at)lonelymountain.net"?

Seems a little unlikely to me, dear.

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

Dude, I think I was *at* that meeting.

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

That's why most Mac zealots don't buy MS products, too--BECAUSE they're MS products.

I buy MS products because I get 'em for COGS at the Company Store.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Feh. I buy the best product for my needs, regardless of brand. Not my fault they keep knockin' em out of the park. :D

So... why *do* you buy MS products? Gaming?

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

This is why I run my own server. :D I can make whatever bloody aliases I want.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Hard to beat the price... heck, I bought MS Office at UNC. At $10, it was actually worth it to have on hand. ;)

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

This is why I outsource administration of my servers--she keeps me from doing too many stupid things.

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

What if I were _reallllllly_ nice to her?

[gwyneira.livejournal.com]

Well, I did just try it to see if it would work, but then I deleted it.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

*Excellent* plan.

When in doubt, delegate. :D

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

Primarily. I mean the only MS products I have are my OS and what comes bundled with it. I think the last time I actually paid for a seperate MS product was when I bought Frontpage like six years ago, before I realized there were free HTML editor out there that were comparable.

I am not an MS guy. I just buy what works. :)

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Yep, you're a gamer, and that's where they are.

Well, except for consoles. Why not get a Wii?

*ducks, runs like hell*

:D

*sniff* nobody likes me.

As I said recently, invoking _Ghostbusters_:
"There is no iPod, only Zune."

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

...

And you were bitching about *my* puns???

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

I gave you a frickin' cookie! Sheesh! What more do you want, goil?

Oh okay, have some cocoa too... :)

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

LOL Yes, we're both predictable. :D
