Well, at least my blog is migrating. I'm posting more and more over on my personal website, so LJ is often getting the short end of the stick. I'll probably cross-post the occasional article, or at least a link, but if you want to stay in contact, you should add grobyunplugged to your friends list.

And here's the promised link: Todays' article is about ( Read more... )

Ah, another treaty brought to you by a great administration. The Cliff's Notes version: We allow other nations to enforce their laws, and we get the same in return. Never mind if their laws and our laws clash.

And, what's even better, I didn't splurge on it. No sir! Not a single cent. And it's still unlimited fun. If you've ever wanted to waste some time on the net, it's exactly what you're looking for - a movie poster generator. More details and pretty pictures (with cats!) ( behind the cut )

I'm busy right now, so only a quick link to a funny webpage... "How to turn your hamster into a fighting machine". Necessary knowledge for desperate times.

Yeah, that'll do a WORLD of good

Just wanted to share a wonderful piece of e-mail with you:

Ok. I'm a geek I guess. Got my first "first post" on slashdot and actually consider that newsworthy. I so need to get a life.

(No - nothing profound. Just bitching, as usual ;)

As you've all heard by now, I'm sure, Google Desktop Search 2.0 is out.. Here's what Reuters had to say.

Once more, I'm waking from the dead and return to my blogging habits. Hopefully, this time I'll stay a bit longer. I'm sorry, but I was quite tapped out and felt like there was nothing to say, not even funny remarks.
