Davin is looking for two friends.

christine gort or dave prince – by posting their names here, maybe they’ll find that i am looking for them next time they do a google search for their own names. yeah. people do that. i assume if you haven’t, you’re probably going to after reading this. you’ll be surprised by what you may find. google will cache this page soon enough and dave prince and christine gort will be keyed with victoria and lambrick park and gordon head elementary. and davin greenwell. i am irreversably infecting the internet with my search.

Go there if you’re one of those two folks…

Toren Atkinson’s blog has a pretty cool idea:

Thursday, April 29, 2004: Post a memory of me in the comments. It can be anything you want. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what people remember of you.

I doubt I’ll get anything, but I’ll probably get spammed by people (again) who think I am way off the mark on anything/everything I say.

Maybe this time, it’ll actually get read.

“SYMPTOMS You experience intermittent connectivity when you try to connect to a network from a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003. If the computer connects to the network, you may receive the following error message: The Windows Time Service was not able to find a Domain Controller. A time and date update was not possible. CAUSE This problem occurs because Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Internet Protocol security (IPSec) frames that pass through NAT-T are not correctly acknowledged by TCP/IP.

Looks kinda interesting:

The big book of gods from as many different mythologies/pantheons as possible.

African, Australian, Aztec, Chinese, Egyptian, Finnish, Greek, Incan, Mayan, Native American, and Norse.

Nice.

Something a little strange about the little box that says “Over 1,600 Gods now online!” though.

Check it out here.

W.Bloggar has a feature I didn’t know about. The little notes at the bottom of the window will do this:

…if you’ve got Winamp running. I just happen to be streaming RadioParadise right now.

Pretty neat.

Which is not to say that I don’t have any religion, ’cause I do.

More on that some other time. For now, sleep…

Okay, I’ve figured it out.

If you know me fairly well at all, you know that I have (what I’ve always thought was) this totally irrational hate-on for Kirk Cameron. Ever since he was in that stupid show, Growing Pains, I’ve thought that there was something somehow inherently evil about the guy. Don’t know when I started thinking that, but it was early on. I’m sure sharing satellite space with Alan Thicke didn’t help his case any, but there’s something I ran across today (thanks to the good folks at Cruel.com), I think maybe there’s more to it. More than just the totally irrational “if I ever meet him I wanna punch him” gut-level reaction I have.

Let me explain, sorta kinda.

I’ve got what doctors call a “deep focus in the temporal lobe” also known as temporal lobe epilepsy. Hasn’t done anything negative to me since I was a really really little dude. Back then (around the age of two), I could/would have seizures if I had a particularly bad wipe-out and smacked my head. Since then, I’ve had migraines and things over the years (most of which went away after the age of about 20), but here’s the thing:

People with TLE are often obsessed with religious images and rhetoric.

Probably something to do with the whole idea of feeling like there’s some sort of greater purpose. For a lot of folks with TLE, it becomes religious zealotry. I seem to have the exact opposite: zealous non-religion, based on what I’ve seen “good church-going folks” do and say during my years of growing up in Chilliwack, British Columbia’s Bible Belt.

Don’t get me started on that place… woof-o…

Okay, so back to Cruel.com’s link to this site with Kirk. Here’s the thing:

He’s now the lead running a very slickly-produced “you’re going straight to hell” site.

The Way Of the Master

So, I wonder if I’m not feeling like there’s not some sort of something going on, and that maybe Kirk’s going to end up being the evil dictator of Texas or something.

Me and Joan of Arc

What I wanna know is this: Does Saint Aardvark also have TLE, and maybe that’s why he’s the kinda guy that collects religious tracts from car windows and stuff?

Sad to see these guys go. This program is freeware for any use, and is simply the best hardware discovery/auditing tool I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to whatever they make next.

Here’s a blurb from their site:

Go to the site for more information.

As of March 24, 2004 we have decided to discontinue the development project that we all know as AIDA32. Development of AIDA32 has been started years ago, and the project went first public in April 2001. AIDA32 has become the de facto standard for both home and corporate system diagnosis and network audit, winning several awards including “Freeware Product of the Year” by Support Alert newsletter in December 2002.

Aida32.hu has well served this project almost without any issues, providing access to over half a million of users in 150 countries worldwide. For the exceptional quality of service, we’d like to send our special thanks to Hunet Kft, our internet service provider and software supplier.

I may need one in the near future.
