The house is droning
Category: linwood

There is this droning noise annoying me right now and I can't figure
out what causes it. The answer is in the basement but I don't care
enough to hunt around in the freezing darkness. Hopefully, it's not
the kind of thing that burns down houses. To be safe I sent (e:Terry) a
text message to check it out when he gets home from (e:enknot)'s. I
doubt he will check either. Maybe I should just jump off the ledge
here and not worry about it, lol.

Sorry guys, I have been so busy I didn't check back. I never through myself down the stairs and I never checked out the noise. I am going to listen again tonight and check it out. Matt thinks its the dehumidifier in the basement.

Alas, (e:james) I fear you are correct but I suspect that Wayne Newton had something to do with this.

As Paul has not responded, it is safe to assume that he is dead. He was eaten by what ever horrible ghoul :::link::: was living there.

So what was the noise? Enquiring minds want to know. Hopefully, it wasn't anything seriously scary or seriously broken.

Just throw on a sweater, some boots, and get down there!!! At least to calm your mind about it possibly being something awful.

FYE on McKinley is closing

Everything is 40-70% off. They had a lot of interesting stuff but I
just was overhelmed. It's just another sign of the end of tangible
media era. They still have tons of DVDs, anime, music and iPod
accessories.

I can't believe how expensive the royal rumble anthology was.

What was the clearance price on the celly smellys? Do they really work - as in leave LCD surfaces streak-free?

Double Asian Delight

I went to late lunch at Saigon bangkok on niagara falls blvd with
(e:mike) not realizing I had plans to go to Korea House on Evans for
dinner at 6. Both were delicious. I am stuffed.

I wonder how long it will take before we don't need these signs?

metalpeter - 02/07/10 12:05
Sounds like a porn tittle.

In Terms of the signs I think they need to be around for a long time. The reason is that people from other states or maybe even Canada who visit or move from other areas aren't used to the No Smoking at all, that is a very NYS state thing. Sorry don't know the states but they ask smoking or non, and someplaces it is more like by tables.

Category: google

American vs Indian search for the same things

New game? Select your google of choice, and see what the first 'why' auto-suggestion is...?

jenks - 02/05/10 16:28
I like that if you just put "why" one of the top auto-complete entries is "why can't I own a canadian"

File vault on mac

I am encrypting my home folder on the mac and had decided to securely
erase the old home folder.

Holy crap. It started last night at around midnight and took about 30
minutes to encrypt. Then it started securely erasing. It has been
securely erasing since then and is only half way. To make it worse,
if you quit, you can never log in again and lose your home folder data.

So much for working with my computer today.
