Helping people with technology
Saw this funny video of a call Leo Laporte took on his Tech Guy show.
This is a prime example of why I never want to deal with people and their computer issues.
Hannon Hill’s Cascade Server CMS
Recently there was a question put forth asking about the Content Management System from Hannon Hill called Casacade Server. This question was posted on the uwebd Network here -
Cascade Server is on our short list
I’ve been using that system since 2007 and it’s not really that good. So I posted a nice giant response over with at the my side company blog here -
My views on Hannon Hill’s Cascade Server CMS
I’ve then received feedback through a number of different channels both agreeing and disagreeing with what has been said. What I think is funny is that it seems that the more technical people tended to agree with everything I said while the less technical disagreed.
MLK Day
I can already feel people’s frowns forming and heartbeats rising just from reading the title of this post. For many it’s hard to really separate Martin Luther King Jr. from the day that was made to commemorate him. If you think I’m going to start hating on the man or what he stands for, you are wrong. My beef is with what this day has now come to stand for.
The original intent of the day was to honor a man who was killed standing up for the rights of people who were being discriminated against. If you were to ask anyone on the street what this day represents and they would give you a pretty similar wording. Back when it was created there was still racial tension and overall there was still a great racial divide. But today what does this day really stand for?
Bathroom Architects
OK so I am no giant stand at 5′6″ but I got a bone to pick with all those who design bathrooms. Toilets, sinks, soaps all fine and dandy but they are all retarded when it comes to one thing……paper towel dispensers. Ok so here is the scene. Just got done with your business, washed your hands so whats next….dry them off. In most cases I have reach UP!!!! For all you tall folks imagine this, get your hands soaking wet and raise it over your head. No seriously go do it. Don’t come back until you have done this……Back? Good! See what I mean. The water runs down your fracking arm. I hate it so much.
Forwarded Emails
Now I like a good feel good forwarded email as much as anyone else but I can’t stand it when I get an email that just outright lies!!!! I think I am even more pissed at the stupid person who decided that what was inside the email sounded good enough to send on. For example I recently received an email that claimed that Obama only won 19 states and McCain won 29 but yet Obama won. Now I haven’t checked to see if it was even possible for the 19 biggest states get the required 270 electoral votes and I am not here to argue if we should go by total popular vote or if the electoral college is the way to go. I am here to hate emails that flat out lie. Obama won way more that 19 states!!!! Are you kidding me!!!
Taco Bell
So around my parts and across the state even I have been seeing these Taco Bell commercials where this guy comes goes into Taco Bell and asks for a certain girl behind the counter. After the girl gets to the counter he whispers and asks if she could hook him up with the same deal she did yesterday about a 5 layer burrito for $0.89. Man did this sound good to me so I dashed on over to Taco Bell and asked for it and they proceeded to charge me $1.09!!!!
