Blizza Blizza...because everybody else has one.Attention, LA Cyclists- September 24, 2007 Watch out for idiot bus drivers on Hollywood Boulevard. The bus driver backs up, turns the bus into the boulevard and comes back at the cyclist who is now standing behind his bike. She comes a bit faster and pushes the bus against the cyclist until the bike is now wedged under the right front bumper of the bus. Yeah, seriously. The bus driver first honked at the cyclist, then told him he had no right to the road, then ran over his bike. Twice. And the LAPD, in their infinite wisdom, have.http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000936.php Christmas Wish List Redux- September 15, 2007 I need a gutted 747 and a couple acres of land to put it on. Best. House. EVAR. I'd make the maid dress in a flight attendant uniform from the 1950s, too.http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000935.php Channeling Chris Rock- September 13, 2007 "The ODB couldn'tve possibly committed all those crimes.

Smokey's recent post inspired me to take a look at the bugs I'd filed or fixed in Bugzilla as well. I've filed 122 bugs so far, of which I've personally fixed 12. It's always good to clean up your own mess ;) Of the 45 still open, five are still UNCONFIRMED and four are assigned to me. Of the 77 filed bugs that have been resolved, I've filed six INVALID, 11 WONTFIX, three WORKSFORME, and 11 duplicates, making a total of 86 valid bugs out of the 122 filed so far...http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000933.php The FAA Funding "Debate"- September 4, 2007 The so-called "FAA funding debate" shouldn't even be a debate. The airspace over the United States is a public resource, and control of that resource should be in the hands of the taxpayers via a taxpayer-funded organization like the FAA. Because when it isn't, you get stuff like the 2002 mid-air collision over Switzerland that killed 71 people, which was a direct result of the controllers having too high a workload thanks to management trying to cut corners and save money. (There was also an..http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000931.php "Eudora" 8.0b1- September 3, 2007 John Gruber, on the new Eudora beta: I hope its awesome. I suspect its going to blow. Let me save everyone the suspense: it blows. Exhibit A: the import dialog you get upon first launch. Note the choices of mail clients from which mail and preferences can be imported. Note that the number of previous versions of Eudora listed in this dialog is zero. Remember that every single previous version of Eudora was backwards compatible with previous settings files and mail storage, at least..http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000930.php Just Not Getting It- September 2, 2007 Marshall Fitzpatrick, firefighter and cigarette smoker: That's $40 in groceries and $40 toward the electric bill, that's $40 toward whatever. When you put both of us together, that's $80 we've saved by buying cigarettes in Indiana instead of Michigan going toward our bills which helps us out. How about you and your girlfriend save even more by, you know, quitting smoking entirely You choose to smoke, and Michigan chooses to tax your vice. Give up the vice or quit your bitching.http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000929.php Things I Wish I Could Say- September 2, 2007 This just showed up in my inbox: Hello chris Are you really satisfied with your penis size Yes, in fact, both I and your mother are quite satisfied with my penis size. Thanks for asking. Your mother appreciates your looking out for her sexual well-being, too. She also said to get a haircut, take a shower, and move the fuck out of her basement.http://chrislawson.net/blog/archives/000928.php |
