I've sworn myself off caffeine lately, but man today is the perfect day for a nice hot coffee and a piece of chocolate cake. I hope I won't regret it if I cave...

I got one of those electricity meters from the Warehouse. My whole computer network is using only ~233 watts.

That includes a Linux server (Athlon 2000XP), NAS enclosure, cable modem, wireless AP, switch, VoIP gateway and a MacBook.

Never really had any idea how much power it was using before, but guesstimated about double that, based on the power supply ratings.

You set it up with your cents/kWh price, and it tells you your line voltage, line frequency, the current going through it, the peak current, total kWh, total cents, and a few other stats...

Good for up to 2500W/10A, and can accomodate two prices if you get charged peak and off peak I guess (I don't)

My cutie-pie girlfriend was giving a blow job to a surfer dude she met while on a night out. While in the throws of sucking his firm and very receptive cock, he farted! Eeuw. Not good. She said she could even smell it, eeuwww . . . I can hear you cringing!

I’ve just seen on the news these new hybrid cats you can get that are a cross between a tiger and a real cat. They cost 32K and you need to have a house built like a zoo – but I really can’t stop thinking about them. I want! I want! I want!!

Evidently a tiger isn't a real cat. Presumably only domestic house cats qualify as real cats.

She also says her friends always come back for "Anna time" even though she can occasionally be a little bit silly.

This website is a goldmine of unintentional parody. Gloriously retarded.

Was just reading about the self-immolation of that buddhist monk in 1963.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A...4%90%E1%BB%A9c

Powerful photograph, powerful moment. But I'm struck by the absurdity of the fact that he sat on a cushion on the road before doing it.

A cushion...so he wouldn't be uncomfortable as he burned alive?

got a new sitting implement. Tamburo Drum Stool. This is so damn comfy, and thankfully the metal holding me up is solid (not hollow like the other broken one). And the seat is very sturdy and shaped to my ass.

Heh - I was playing with it last night - piling the RJ45 sockets up on the shelf behind it, when the garage door went up and he drove in - he then walked up, replaced all the sockets, and shook it's hand.

I just built mine tonight - next up, attaching it to a classic DSE parallel port kit...
