 Longest-time-between-posts update
Posted by Charlie Hayes on Tuesday July 29, 2008 @ 6:14 PM EST |
Noteworthy things happening in my life since my last update that I can remember:
- My car (1997 Maxima) wouldn't shift; took in for repair; would cost $4000 to fix rusted-through core support; Got new 2008 Honda Fit.
- Got new computer, Mac Pro, with insurance money from my PowerBook being stolen (jerks).
- Had a super fun time at computer camp, as always.
- Scuzzy had cancerous bump removed and was diagnosed and treated for Addison's Disease.
- Katie and Charlie visited, we had a great time at Zoombezi Bay. If interested, please ask about Pickle Soup.
- Had my car smashed by some drunk people; Insurance company considers it a collision: won't pay; Police don't consider it a collision: won't investigate.

Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 Remake: Plug-and-Play
Posted by Charlie Hayes on Tuesday April 8, 2008 @ 11:06 PM EST |
 Microsoft en robes the USB cord of their hardware with "Install the software first" warnings. It works in 1 second when you plug it into a Mac without installing software first. After "Found new hardware", "Found new USB device", "Found new HID device", "Found new mouse", "Found new Microsoft IntelliMouse", 5 beeps and 15 seconds later, it works on Windows without software too! |

First post of the new year! =(
Posted by Charlie Hayes on Thursday March 6, 2008 @ 11:56 PM EST |
So since the last post, I had a fun time in Chicago at the end of December, got burglarized in January, and my CPU or Motherboard died in February.
Also, Team Fortress 2 came out, I played it a bunch, and while installing snapped this shot:
They missed the most important feature! You can play the game you just bought!

 I'm glad Dell at least recognizes what people want. |

Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Posted by Charlie Hayes on Thursday October 11, 2007 @ 7:59 PM EST |
Where are they getting these fifth graders? I went to one of Ohio's best school districts (according to Ohio, not me) and they didn't teach the things they claim these fifth graders knew.
- Bavaria is a state in what European country?
- What is the name of the first first-lady?
- Of the following, which is a blood vessel in the human body? Tibia, capillaries, cilia.
- (First grade spelling) how do you spell nervous? (Example first grade spelling words)
- What is the official language of Australia?
- How many demonstrative adjectives are in the following sentence? That scruffy dog with the short tail chased the multi colored cat through the tree.
I call bullshit. |

Apple Update
Posted by Charlie Hayes on Monday September 24, 2007 @ 11:44 PM EST |
| I guess the Apple screen shot was confusing. All the green circles are valid sentences, and all the red circles are not. The subject was a reference to the No Child Left Behind Act. Thirty Eight percent of the sentences are correct. Pretty sad. =( |
