Mad Geek

Well, I don't know how often many of you visit this page, but you might have seen it naked recently. My FTP space that was obtained through a friend lapsed (he didn't renew his subscription and didn't bother to tell anyone) taking all my pics with it. This included my profile pic, my background, and nearly all posted content.

Thankfully, I happen to own some other webspace that I was able to add an FTP service on, so I'm back in action! The problem is, some of the pics there were on the old system didn't exist anywhere else. So, until I recreate them, you will be seeing random pics not working (Catherine, I'll be working on replacing yours first!)

So, I thank everyone in advance for their patience as I try and restore any content I might have had stored for you.

There was once someone, who will remain nameless though they don't even read this blog, who told me I was just a pawn of the Microsoft world because I quoted him a benchmark that actually showed an Athlon64 beating a Mac G5 in certain applications. When he asked me who had run the benchmark, I actually walked him to the site where it had been conducted. While the site was a most reputable and well known one, he concluded that it was also owned by pawns of Microsoft.

Evidentially, he was under the impression that www.apple.com and MacWorld magazines had a much more impartial benchmark running. Hope he doesn't read this; his poor little mind might just explode!

Mac Benchmark gets pwned!

Hmm, General American English. How is that any different from the other things they listed? Thanks to Catherine for finding this test! Loads better than my geek one.

I'd be fixing that ASAP

Up in the top right corner is a button that says 'Next Blog' (or something to that effect). Its pretty cool in that it takes you to a completely random blog made by someone else everytime. You'll never go to the same one twice! On some of these, I find interesting pictures (like the one listed above).

More often than not, I've found some pretty well-written bits and pieces of other people's lives. Even though I may not hear about their personal lives (I almost perfer not to), I DO get a glimpse at their personality. There are the few 'blogs' that were put up simply to get a word count on Google, and there are the ones I can't read since they are in other languages. Surprisingly, the whiny 14-yr old girl with bad poetry ones are pretty few and far between. I guess they all stay to other services then.

One thing that I have noticed (and forgive me if I've already posted on this) are the morons that put popups on their blogs. Now, I know why they have these popups, and that makes me even more annoyed. What they do is they go and find cute Java or ActiveX scripts to paste into their template so your mouse cursor turns into a kitty or something. In the process, it also tags you with some bad cookies and gives you a nice popup that refuses to go away.

Most of the scripts they use are annoying by themselves anyway. I think the clock on the left side of my blog to be much better looking and funtional than having a pair of eyes watch your cursor (less creepy too).

Super Geek 9000
You scored 96% Geekiness!

An absolute shut-in: You are the Computer Super Geek 9000. You rolled your eyes at the simplicity of every question, wishing for a more challenging test. You knew that "TsuGoina" wasn't a real operating system, and you were slightly annoyed that I even threw it in there. You ought to go outside more, if only for the sunlight and Vitamin D. Deficiency of Vitamin D can increase the risk of muscle weakness, autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer.

Not only is this post pointless, it's not even really mine! Bwa ha ha!

To the left of this text area is my links. I know one of them doesn't work. The other ones do, and one of those leads to RealLifeComics.com. If ever you want the insight as to how a geek thinks (and what we think is hilarious), take a jaunt over there.

I bring this up today, due to today's strip located here. I read this a giggled endlessly. No, seriosuly, I did. THATS what we find funny!
