Classy
Katt and I put together a new band in Rock Band for the XBOX 360 tonight called “Cupcake Crisis.” When Katt went to put in a band quote…this is what she entered:
“I ate your freakin’ cupcake!!”
Harmonix, in their infinite sense of humor, put in the following ‘error’ message:
Your band quote is not what most would describe as “classy.” You can still view it locally, but it will not be visible on XBOX Live until you change it.
Awesome.
The world’s worst…
These are the worst driving directions ever. I’m currently evaluating the Tally-Ho! Uniforms website for my project management class. If you’ll take a look, you’ll see it’s one of the most poorly designed pieces of junk in existence.
We knew it would happen eventually
If the passenger with the iPhone would be kind enough to use it to check the weather at our alternate, calculate our fuel burn due to being rerouted around the storms, call the dispatcher to arrange our release, and then make a phone call to the nearest Air Traffic Control center to arrange our timely departure amongst the other aircraft carrying passengers with iPhones, then we will be more than happy to depart. Please ring your call button to advise the Flight Attendant and your fellow passengers when you deem it ready and responsible for this multi-million dollar aircraft and its passengers to safely leave.

Death to the machines
Well, I managed to inadvertently fry my Shuttle’s motherboard last night, much to my dismay as the frying of said motherboard means buying an entirely new barebones. I won’t go into the details, but let’s just say that I don’t recommend attempting to reconnect small ribbon cables that allow your front panel ports to work properly. The replacement case marks my move back to an Intel solution, specifically a Shuttle SD39P2 with a 2.4Ghz Core2 Duo processor.
Update for 7/9/07
The case arrived Friday, and it was a simple endeavor to move my old components into the new case. The only difference in the actual case is that this one has a matte finish on it (as opposed to the SN27P’s shinier finish) so fingerprints don’t show as clearly. Most of my stuff is reinstalled, and boy is this thing snappy.
