Bunch of things…

*Amanda sucks*

She is the group leader for our in person writing group and she made the topic of today about blogging knowing full well that dolphins can breath air.

I know what you are thinking… “What does that have to do with anything?”

Rage knows no reason. Question my rage further and you too will suffer my digital wrath!

/Sanity On…

Actually today is my Daughters birthday and I have domestic duties but that don’t mean I can’t hold a grudge (however fictional)

/Sanity off…

DAMN YOU AMANDA!

Next topic. Random squirrel thinking. WHy doesn’t NASA use DARPA technology on its next wave of exploring robots? Yes I know the darpa units are still experiemental and NASA is all about *WORKING* until unpredictable conditions.

/Logic off…

It would just be so cool to see a BIG DOG running across Mars is all.

Uh… the internet still sucks BIG DOG balls at my sons Gym.

I actually had more stuff to rant about but having the internet load so friggin slow has made the rest of my thoughts evaporate.

We are going to go see Transelvania Hotel 2 as part of my daughters party.

My sons gym class is over.

Ranting done.

My Cousin(ByM) bought me a ticket to a WordPress event.

She is big into WordPress and is coming to Sacramento to work/speak at one of the events and bought me a ticket.

Oh and I still haven’t started my Canada story yet 🙁

I have been writing for writing’s sake but just not anything worth posting as of yet. More of starts and stops and pondering but nothing of substance. Practice practice practice. 🙂

My kids suck the living life out of me

It is Monday morning and I had to sneak out of our room up in Tahoe to the McDonalds down the street just so I could do a little writing. We got here, our nuclear family, this last Saturday night and have playing “vacation” at a resort. The prior post about passwords wasn’t planned so much as just fell out of my mouthass* (new word copyright pending).

My god my son and his constant “DADDY DADDY” stuff. Ugh. I love the little guy but the little guy just won’t shut the hugs up. The only way I got him to be quiet for more than thirty seconds in one single stretch, besides using the chloroform, was to threaten no ice cream. I’m glad I still have my excess stock of chloroform left over from my single, and not so single, days of hearing “Not tonight, I have (blah blah…)”

*(don’t get your panties in a bunch. This is meant in humor. Sheep don’t actually say Blah Blah as its more of a Bah Bah.)

Did I just call my life partner a..? “EEwwww…” Ah that’s more like the sound I’m used to.

How does a guy with nothing but hand grenades get himself out of a deep pit? By using another grenade of course.

I kind of feel like the picture above.

Only then do I realize what it is I’ve jumped onto in the picture below.

too-late

Ugghh…

Guess I better quit before the wife hands me sweet release divorce papers.

Admin login is for daily use right?

I know I know. I’ve just gotten around to finally using my non-admin login to post my stuff. Trust me I am not usually this bad about this kind of stuff. Every site I visit has a unique password that I utilize and have memorized as it follows a pattern of seemingly randomness. /Well if it follows a pattern then it isn’t really random./ Yeah yeah. You would have to first get one of my passwords and then second get a second one to even begin to understand how to crack them. I use a multi-tiered system of passwords depending on how I think they rate for vulnerability. For example, the ones I use for my banking are security level 3 where some stupid wall street journal login uses a security level 1 login. Amazon type stuff typically has a security level 2. My work stuff generally has another level. Each of those levels, going up, increases in complexity.

For instance my level one WSJ example would use the password of wsjspot. “Spot” of course being something stupid like my dogs name. I don’t actually own a dog and haven’t since my childhood but that isn’t the name being used either. My level two stuff goes up in complexity and my level three even more so. I also use letter and number substitutions but also catch phrases that only somebody as demented as me would get. Here is another example of a level two which I just thought up but don’t use myself since I just thought it up. Let’s say your name is “Jenny” and your phone number is “867-5309.” Now lets also say that your car’s licence plate or even state issued drivers licencse number is something insanely simple like “BADDRVR.” I might use this for my Amazon login

A867baddrvr5309n

See what I did there? The first character “A” and the last “n” refer to the site I am attempting to login into while my phone number is broken up by cars plate number. Who the fuck is going to guess that shit?

Now for another level 2 deemed site, say “eBay.com” you would use “e867baddrvr5309y”

Different yet the same. You would have to get 2 different passwords hijacked to even try to begin to figure out the pattern.

Where was I going with all this?

Oh that’s right. I suck at using the right account for my blog/domain. Well not anymore 🙂

Your welcome 🙂

Adam Carolla: Taco Bell Book

So my wife and I share our kindle books to each other and earlier today, along with my comic app, I downloaded Adam Carolla’s book “Not Taco Bell Material.” I started reading it on the train ride home and have come to the decision to finally write up my Canada story in all its glory.

Thanks Adam.

$50 Kindle Fire

I just got mine in the mail today. I had it shipped to my work and as luck would have it I was pretty much busy the entire day. Still I got to play with it a little bit on my lunch. I installed the ComiX app and then proceeded to download some of the digital books I own but haven’t read yet. I have yet to try and watch a movie on it but I’m sure that will happen at some point over the weekend.

Yeah $50 electronics that was probably made by a half naked child…

Okay now I’m feeling a bit bad over this. Enough not to enjoy my device? Can’t honestly say yes or no to that.

Doug’s Chapter 14(12) 2nd Draft is done

It went from 900 words to 1400.

This seems to be on par with everything else I’ve done.

I got 8 more chapters to go on this puppy as the original 1st draft went to (20). I don’t know if I am going to have more chapters grow out of or spring up between here and twenty which is why I am sitting at chapter 14 on the second draft, but we will see.

Tin Foil Rant

I was just looking on Amazon and something caught my eye.

I clicked on a link that said “Free windows 10 to all 7 & 8 customers”

Earlier today I watched the trailer for the new X-Files TV show and seeing Mulder talking about conspiracies got me thinking. Why is 10 free? What does Micro$oft get out of this but a kickback from the-

There coming to take me away!

So far so good (I hate my wife)

So far I haven’t gotten “the cold” as of yet. My wife, bless her heart, put one of those oil diffusers next to my side of the bed and put in some of her voodoo essential oils. I am kind of pissed that I am not sick right now. It could just be luck. Who knows.

It is only Sept and we have a long winter ahead of us.

Oh and I hate my kids too for even bringing this shit home.
