So, a message queue on a mail server, is like a straw in a boba (“bubble”) tea.
If someone puts an attachment on their e-mail, the rest of the office isn’t going to be able to get much tea when a piece of boba comes sucking through that straw.
So imagine my chagrin, when a user tries [...]

I read my blogs via a feed reader, every time there is a new post on a blog I follow, it shows up in bold font and I simply go to the listing for that blog and read the new entry.

Have you ever done anticipatory work and then forgotten about it?
It’s so awesome, it’s like finding money on the ground.
We got a new network laser printer at work. Normally with a network printer you install a driver share it and you are done.

You see these photos and you always wonder what happened.
Well, this is my friend JR’s car. He was at the head of a 4 car pile up. I imagine each of the 2 cars hitting the one behind him, drove it a little further up his butt.

My dog is lazy, but smart.
He only chases Schrodinger’s cats.
How lazy can you get though? Both are in a box and one is dead, it’s not as if he has to put in a lot of effort.

Apparently all the clocks in the office are running backwards or have stopped completely, which means of course that it must be Friday.
My lovely wife is getting together some of her artwork and displaying it this weekend at the Cal Cup art show.

I’ve mentioned it before but I thought i’d put it out there again to encourage and remind those of you who haven’t tried it yet.
Apple iTunes, your favorite source for updating your iPod or iPhone has a tremendous amount of free resources.
Many educational institutes put out full semesters of courses up as video podcasts with [...]
