Are you serious?...

"An unhandled exception occurred in the user interface" ... wow.

I've worked a lot with MOSS (SharePoint 2007 Server) the past few months and... a routine task gave me this error. I had to screenshot it and post it. This one was just.. special. No doubt.

How secure is your Wells Fargo account?

I accidentally typed my password wrong when trying to access my account on wellsfargo.com ...and still got through..

I logged out and typed my password incorrectly on purpose just to make sure, and it worked.. I was in...

Apparently I discovered that Wells Fargo ignores what you type on the password field after there is a match... So if my password was "secret" and I typed "secret4u" i still get authenticated and get access to my account!!! Try it out for yourselves and have a laugh.. Then get worried some... then call/email and complain.. then switch banks.

office violence clip

guy on right supposedly throwing paperclips.. likely staged but pretty funny to see :)

yesterday was horrible.

..so April 27th 2007 is going down as one of the worst days I've had in a while

• Spent the whole day dealing with Microsoft SharePoint 2007 bugs - incredibly hideous bugs.
  
• I brought food from home, and out of all Fridays, yesterday they cleaned out the fridge early. The food I got up early to prepare, along with the tupperware it was in - thrown out.
  
• Long drive down to Tucson, dealing with traffic and construction detours on the freeway... icing on the cake.
  

Now, I just realized I posted nothing productive - just a whiny complaint - so i'll stop.
Anyway, on a positive note I can always email Richard Simmons* for help and guidance..

Lobster game

I story was told of a bar in scottsdale.. A bar that had a new take on the classic claw prize game. Delightfully disturbing. What would you do if you won this time?

Listen to my playlist

I added a playlist to my site... it comes in handy for when I dont have any music around, you can get to it by clicking on the headphones icon on the top right from my homepage ... enjoy!

The wow starts ... when?

Just another gripe, after running on windows Vista for nearly four months now..

I keep running into the most annoying problems:

Driver support (especially printers)
Software support (especially useful programs you would like to run)
Intrusiveness and annoying presentation...

The UAC model where color coded messages pop up and warn you about what you just told windows you want to do makes it frustrating to install, uninstall, delete, move, copy, change a setting, use your computer period. A lot of major software publishers dont have much of an excuse. Everyone's had access to stable betas for about a year, and the final version was released in November.. Drivers and new software should be here by now you'd think...

The more I deal with this, the more I think Vista was named after an internal acronym for: Very Intrusive System That's Annoying.

I'm pretty tired of those wow commercials, so far the 'wow' has been about stuff not working or system crashes (drivers again).. maybe by mid 2007?

baja 'not so' fresh

So there I was, holding this thing 'waiting' for my food... when i read it. The 'waiting device' says -

"No Microwaves, No Can Openers, No Freezers, No Lard..." all sounds good so far...
"No MSG..." sounds good, ok...
"No WAITING" pff! what?! and they wrote it all in caps - No WAITING?! what is it exactly that I'm doing holding this 'thing' then?

maybe WAITING is an acronym for something like:

No 'Walking After Items .. eh i'm done, it's not an acronym.. It is just stupid.

The heart of the question here is... was it coincidence that I got number 42?

my neighbor's Christmas gift..

Well, my internet connection has been shut down recently. Seems like wep keys are being slowly but surely phased out.

On another note, I found out first hand what my neighbor got for Christmas: a new wireless router.. One with WPA+PSK authentication..

listening to music...

public object Crystal() {
return "pun";
}

what a nerdy way to start the day...
I hope not many people get this joke.
