google gmail custom time

that's not fair or funny

i should sue for psychological damage


me 2:40 pm
i still dunno the custom time thing tho. google did it? weird

oh. *jf.

....

Is there a limit to how far back I can send email?

Yes. You'll only be able to send email back until April 1, 2004, the day we launched Gmail. If we were to let you send an email from Gmail before Gmail existed, well, that would be like hanging out with your parents before you were born -- crazy talk.

its an april fools joke.

Welcome to Gmail's April Fool's Day joke

As you may have guessed, Gmail Custom Time is not a real product or feature of Gmail. No, we don't plan on allowing your late paper to show up in your prof's inbox as if it were sent a week ago.

So, now that you know, send the joke to a friend you think will fall for it!

skinny bastards

how long will men in women's jeans stay popular? i'm incredibly tired of super-skinny, low-rise guys jeans. everywhere i look, the narrow style is standard; even the 'relaxed' and 'loose' cuts are a hairs' width away from normal. the only non-skinny pant one can find is raver-wear nylon parachute-y deals. fashion has made the rounds of recalling past decades... when can it hit the 90's again and i can find me a decent pair of slightly wide leg / baggy jeans? i've got a pair or three left from ages ago... and their materials' thickness is rapidly approaching an old t-shirt.

nice weather, finally

good news right? for most. i was really looking forward to lounging out on the back porch in the sun, read a book, maybe grill out, just do a bunch of nothing... but see, my foot's acting up again, which means i'm back on meds. and one of 'em says to 'avoid direct sunlight'. yeah, like i don't already do enough of that. same meds make everything taste metallic, so i won't enjoy any bbq either. woo

USA NUMBER ONE

britney spears' 16yo sister is pregnant; their moms' parenting book is on hold indefinitely. gotta love MSM.. so how's that War thing going?

uhh merry xmas?

incident report.

most of [the 5 of] you that read this know i've been going thru weird and crazy shit lately, and that after this last bout of insanity i'd finally had enough- i've been researching since mid-sunday to replace this frustrating piece of machinery.
and somehow, it earned a reprieve. evidently, the network was the problem, and not the motherboard on this computer that had failed. but it was the oddest of circumstances: sunday was when the network on thic pc failed.. today upon coming back from a couple errands, gar finds that his room comps are down; further checking confirms that the wall outlets are *all* gone. luckily, some unknown neighbor has an open wireless router, and i'm able to use that.. but no notices in my comcast email. a dozen router /modem /switch /etc resets were futile, and eventually we got around to test the net connection coming straight out of the modem itself... NOTHING.
made the march of shame back upstairs to call it in to [frickin] comcast, and had JUST dialed when i hear "WTF?"
gar rebooted his laptop and went to log into the neighbor-fi and was told he was on the home wi-fi network. we ran around the house to check the others and sure enough, the network was back up. how it managed to resurrect itself, no clue.
so, we're back to square 1. this pc still locks up randomly, and it's hard drives occasionaly freak out and howl some weird noise, but it's basically okay. decent specs even [cpu/memory/hd-wise], it's just being the temperamental 2-year old it *is*, i guess.
but the supergeek in me doesn't know exactly how to feel... one part is glad everythings fixed, however miraculously; the other is sad i don't get to satisfy my irritated self and replace this current machine.
especially when i was preeeetty close to convincing myself i needed to spend an inordinate amount of $ on something like this. or this.

whatever. nerd rant off. happy turkey day, people!

back up your bookmarks..

go, do it, now.



ok. so SOMEthing in my firefox wanted an auto-update. usually, they go smoothly. but this time around.. eeeeeeverything went back to it's own presets, INCLUDING the bookmarks folder. granted, i was pretty much asking for this seeing as i had ..wow 34 extensions installed [holy.. wtf 1 sec]
..ok just whittled that down to 22. yeah still alot but that's why ffox is cool; they're all functional. but yeah- if you've ever seen me in person surfing los internets, you'd know my crazy extensive folders upon folders upon poorly-organized folders of bookmarks is my livelihood. so that 15min or so panic attack i just was NO fun, lemme tell ya. LUCKILY, i remembered i had a "recent" backup.. which i just now found and restored a good 99%, i think. thing is, theey're recent as of the end of JUNE, so although i'm relieved most are back.. that super geeky part is still mourning those last 2 months' worth of links lost. i really gotta do that weekly and keep it on one of those usb keychain drives.

this wasn't nearly as interesting as i thought it would be. whatever
