Some random facts...

I am still so sad over the gay boys that got killed in Iran for being gay

image

I think that is what their president meant when he said they had no gay people in Iran.

From wikipedia - Sodomy is a crime for which both partners can be punished by death, if the participants are adults, of sound mind and consenting; the method of execution is for the Shari'a judge to decide. A non-adult who engages in consensual sodomy is subject to a punishment of 74 lashes. (Articles 108 to 113) Sodomy is proved either if a person confesses four times to having committed sodomy or by the testimony of four righteous men. Testimony of women alone or together with a man does not prove sodomy. (Articles 114 to 119). "Tafhiz" (the rubbing of the thighs or buttocks) and the like committed by two men is punished by 100 lashes. On the fourth occasion, the punishment is death. (Articles 121 and 122).

If two men "stand naked under one cover without any necessity", both are punished with up to 99 lashes; if a man "kisses another with lust" the punishment is 60 lashes. (Articles 123 and 124). If sodomy, or the lesser crimes referred to above, are proved by confession, and the person concerned repents, the Shari'a judge may request that he be pardoned. If a person who has committed the lesser crimes referred to above repents before the giving of testimony by the witnesses, the punishment is quashed. (Articles 125 and 126).

As of 2007, teenagers accused of engaging in sodomy have been executed, although the official rationale for the hangings is debated.



I feel so bad for this lard ass. I mean really, their picture shows up in every single google news article about obesity. I wonder if he/she is on an obesity clipart CDROM somewhere. Has anyone else noticed this?

I was talking with (e:libertad) the other day and telling him this usb vaccuum I wanted for my vaccuum collection.

They dug up king Tut and unwrapped him. He has buck teeth. I am not sure exactly why someone would not just leave him alone. Isn't the whole point of being a mummy to be mummified and left alone. I kind of feel and for him too.

Having Sex With How Many People?

(e:lilho)'s friend had sex with 45 people and he is 37 and asked me if that was normal. She is posting her list too. Feel free to join in. So I tried to think of all the people I had sex with. And seriously, I thought I had sex with a lot of people but I guess when I really counted, 14 over 15 years is not that crazy.

This is actual I put it in there, not just touching naughty parts because that is such a different list that I am not getting into. I feels great that none of these people are secrets or anything.

1990s
teens
Girl - D
Girl - E
Girl - J
Girl - H
Guy - G

twenties
Guy - C
Guy - M
Girl - S
Guy - J
Guy - Terry

2000s
Guy - (only random) Redhead, I have a thing for redheads and jumped at the chance.

late twenties
Guy - Matt
Girl - T

Well that is my life sex story. Now there are only two regular players in the story.

Monday night

I am getting so sick of working on the new server - DNS, php, apache, mysql, email all set. Next I am gogin tot move the new site over from my dev machine.

At least I have techno4ever

This is what I look like programming, I guess everyone else has probably seen it but it was new for me.

::Download Flash Video::



I really wish I could move back to Germany sometimes. I miss living in europe. Today I looked at the Italian Citizenship site again and I really just need to go to New York to deal with it. I think maybe in January? I just need to drag my mother and brother with me.

Don't worry, I am not going anywhere. I just want to have it all together so I can ditch this country when the chinese come and claim it.

One Laptop Per Child

While I never had a laptop as a child and survived. I do believe having an internet enabled laptop will open up possibilities for lots of children in other countries.

image

For $400, you get one, a child in a dis-adantaged country gets one. You get a $200 tax deducation and you get 1 year free access to tmobile wifi hotspots which is normally like $19 a month.

Seems like a good deal, especially if you have friends that needs a laptop that can probably survive a beer spill. Oh ya, and it runs a flavor of linux.

The main screen is very simple to navigate and select what you want to do.

Thee is a visual logo interface
image

estrip works great on it.
image

It has a fedora backend and can easily be run in vmware if you want to test it out.

You can use it as an ebook reader too. That is not my laptop in the background. I took the picture from

Eating on Server Day

What would a server setup day be without some other exotic seafood. Today I tried these white clams with black stripes. I think they were cultured because they were in fact the cleanest clams I have ever seen, they were also maybe the tastiest.

image

Then (e:terry) made bacon wrapped asparagus. I would suggest it to anyone.

image

And then I ate a pomegranite. I think this is the first one I ate so much of. Usually, they just end up drying out.

image

Are neighbors had the funk truck come by today. Since when is Funk, organic fertilizer. I thought it was spray chemical. Have they changed their business model?

Text Pagers and the Wegmans Parking Lot

I cannot believe at Roswell, they still make employees carry those stupid 16 lb, chunky 1980s, green screen text pagers. Looks like Kaleida uses them too as (e:jenks) was carrying one today too. How is it that the device can only text page when a cell phone that big is capable of video chat. Seriously, it is so backwards. I feel like it shouldn't have to be any bigger than an ipod shuffle clip. Its like that company make them way back when and just never upgraded technology as everything else got more advanced and smaller.

image

The new vendor system they bought for the phones is supposed to let you forward your pages to another user when you are out, but after of a bunch of terrible ( in my opinion) decisions and huge amounts of resource and time waste, no one knows about the new vendor system or how to use it, it doesn't properly integrate with our in house systems (that people actually use and (e:enknot) created). The escalation feature that it has could have been implemented much more efficiently in house. I wish that was my project.

I know for a fact that some people just don't get pages from our directory and no one seems to care, hm. Seems important to me.

What set this off. Seeing (e:imk2) in the hall carrying two stupid pagers around. She said sometime she ends up with four. That just blows my mind. It must weigh more than a laptop.

image

I wonder how anything really gets done in big organizations.

On another note, for the first time ever I saw Wegmans parking lot nearly deserted on Halloween night. i guess it is the kind of holiday that no one is really cooking a meal for. Why is that? Isn't there some special Halloween fare besides candy? Next year I am just going to make it up and eat a halloween goat - that sounds like the appropriate animal for such a Holiday.

Where has paul been for 60 hours

I have been busy programming and refactoring old site code from the last four years before the new server arrives. Seriously, I have programmed until 3am for the last three days. Thank god I have my own home office or I would go crazy with everything else going on.

One sneak peak of the new comment box. You no longer have to leave the page, it just pops the comment in to the page, similar to how the chat works.

image

Let's see, what else. I ate some king crab legs. The box of legs is in the wegmans fish dept freezer and costs $10 for enough for 2 people. I figured for me and (e:matthew) that was the same price as us each getting wendy's. And as my brother always says, we have to eat them before they are gone. They were so good I ate them without butter. Just some lemon juice.

image

I just thought it meant big crab legs but hen I looked it up on wikipedia (WIKIPEDIA - King_crab) and it is a special species of horned crab that can grow up to six feet across and weigh over 20 lbs. My guess is that doesn't happen much anymore with commercial fishing. Is anyone looking for a job

image

The golden King Crab
image

The Red King Crab
image

Both of those pics are from a site about King Cra fishing where you can order the crab directly from Alaska. I still haven't tried ordering seafood online, although I think that is where all the good deals are.

Somehow searching for it brought me to this site called Alibaba

Does anyone know anything about this site. It looks like you can bargain with wholesalers over email? in order to buy large quantities of stuff from global markets. There is sure to be a lot of money in that. (e:twisted) and I had a good time looking around on it.

I was getting the vaio set to sell when I noticed the powercord was severed somehow ;( I bought a new one from sony, don't worry anyone who was buying it, the new powercord is on the way. I wonder how it broke.
image

And for the scary part, at work this week I get a confidential envelope and I opened it from the back side. Inside was a pink slip and I was like jesus, couldn't they just tell me in person. But it turned out that it was just a confirmation that (e:matthew) does now have health insurance as my domestic partner. That includes dental and visual coverage too. I hoep he actually uses it.

image

Ironically, the same day I got a job prospect call for a HIPPA related job in BUffalo that paid a lot more tha my current job. I am so tempted... but the company is rather new.
