Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 26, 2003 5:35pm PDTHolidays are just swell. I think this is the first weekend I've actually gotten to relax and goof off the whole time (minus some house cleaning) in like 2 months. Also the really overpriced candy at Blockbuster does actually taste better. I wish I could find those odd-flavored tootsie rolls outside of a variety bag though. This is the biggest problem I've faced over the weekend. It's terrible I know. Here try these:
- Another day another spam story - Internet nerd a poker superstar - Wireless email is hot - Finding out what happened to Billy the Kid - Phillips likes dvd burners - A video interview with the inventor of ethernetLastly, we'll be handing out Jason's E3 awards tomorrow and wrapping up his coverage of over 70 games this year. One day in the future we'll come up with a better navigation scheme for stuff like this. Oh what the hell my picks for E3 this year.. Half-Life 2 for game of the show (duh) and Need for Speed Underground would be the surprise of the show for me. I didnt get to see the new Prince of Persia game though. :(

It had cool fighting, it has decent plot and, it has a pretty cute chick in it.
I mean, if you don't like action movies or sci-fi movies it's all good, I can see how you wouldn't like it, but not really dislike it a ton. I mean, it's like 5x less cheesy than Equilibrium, but people who like Eq hate the Reloaded. I don't get it?
Perhaps it's the "it's cool to be a hatah" thing going on?

My cat just chewed through the electrical cord for a lamp.
She then flew around the room flipping at warp speed and growling weird.
Now it smells like shit in here. :(
Dumbass.
Reminds me of National Lampoons Christmas vacation.
Damn, I kinda like that lamp.

My ADSL connection is running at full speed no problem. I can get 50k/s off Fileshack which is normal. What's not normal is that pages like Gamespy and CNN will stall about halfway through loading. The Shack seems to work fine most of the time. When I click on every link in Evening Reading, at least half of the pages will fail to load. I can bring them up after attempting to reload them a few times, one at a time. Anybody have any clues off the top of their head as to why this would happen?

I ordered the headphone adapter for my GBASP from Nintendo a few days ago, and registered a account with them so I could look up my tracking information. To my surprise when I opened the Order History I saw this!!

When asking to forward your email, send a full address. Not just the prefix. There's a 99% chance that this alone identifies you as an AOL user, but I know the truth that all the idiots aren't just confined to that network.
