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.

Hell, the Dark side has _everything_ the Light Side has, because we steal it!

Then how come it always comes out so crappy when you guys get it?

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

We're not going to share the good stuff with _you_. :p

I know, not a day goes by that I don't beg the gods above for kernel panics and viruses. ;)

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

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

*munches cookies*

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

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

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

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

[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]

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

[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?

[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

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

I have an xbox, a 360 and a PS2. I'm still undecided on a Wii. I'm not getting a PS3 because Sony sucks. :p

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

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

...

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

[badger.livejournal.com]

Well, puns in general - long story. I rarely make them, honestly. But I do concede your point. Pun away, Mr. Kickaha, pun away.

[franktheavenger.livejournal.com]

Oh god don't tell him that! He will!

[badger.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. a) It's penance. Long story. b) No one's mentioning _The Usual Suspects_ reference I threw in there. Peasants, all of you. c) I haven't felt like Dr. Frankenstein for at least a week. Now I can feel as though I've unleashed something. d) I think c) is me fooling myself, anyway. You think that I've actually affected his behavior with that? I don't.

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

I didn't say it was any good by the time we're done with it. I just said we've got it.

Funny how, three and a half years after I shook the dust off, it's still "we".

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Man, they really get inside your head, don't they? :D

"I'M IN YR HEAD, EETIN YR BRANES!"

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

"ATED", unfortunately, not "EETIN".

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Damn you kids, and yer newfangled ways...

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

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