Or more particularly, Deluxe Communications malware that installed itself on my machine several months ago and has done nothing but create problems, such as just now when it caused a popup to popup that caused my computer's other systems to shut down all the open browser windows I was using, one of which just happened to be a longish political post I was doing on Rudy Giuliani, meaning that my last several minutes worth of careful linking and cross-checking was eaten up completely.
I also hate our IT guys who basically said live with the malware because it takes too much time to remove.
And I hate Microsoft for coming up with Windows, just like the other billion or so users hate them.
And although I don't hate Movable Type and mu.nu, it would be nice if there was a way for the software to do an automatic backup so posts wouldn't get eaten quite so easily. Yes, I know, Jesus saves and so should you, but shouldn't the whole idea of using a computer be to make life easier?
Now then, back to the stupid post I was trying to write.
Posted by Terry Oglesby at February 7, 2007 10:39 AMJust wondering, does mu.nu stand for marsupial union, nocturnal unit?
Posted by: Larry Anderson at February 7, 2007 10:54 AMMy friends in Iowa are about deep frozen. Does Dr. Possum have any idea of when they can expect global warming to reach their neighborhood?
Posted by: Larry Anderson at February 7, 2007 10:57 AMWell, this isn't the Ask Dr. Possum post, so I'll do the best I can and hope you understand I'm not nearly so competent in such things as he is, but in actuality, mu.nu stands for Moo New, a dairy farm in Cheshire, England.
Global warming in Iowa is scheduled for sometime around March, when you will begin to see temperatures continually rising until they reach the boiling point in August. All due to people driving SUVs.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at February 7, 2007 11:08 AMMy friend says he isn't driving his SUV because it is stuck to the driveway for some reason.
I assured him that it couldn't be because of ice.
Some people just refuse to believe in global warming. Let get down to 30 below and they think it is cold.
As for me, I don't believe in 30 below.
Posted by: Larry Anderson at February 7, 2007 11:15 AMJust remember, global warming causes it to be cold, too. "Global corming" is probably a more accurate scientific term.
