Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Aug 24, 2004 5:30pm PDTBy some cruel twist of nature, it's actually almost hot here in Dallas today. We've had one of the most mild summers that I can recall in a long time with just a day or two breaking 100. It's time to move to Hawaii.

i keep a savings accounts with the majority of my money, a checking account for my debit card that i allocate money as I need it, and a credit card with a small balance ($500) that I use for overdraft protection so I don't have to micromanage the checking account. i pay the card off every month. no big deal.
unfortunately, it takes a day or 2 to process any credit card payment - so friday I make the payment, it doesn't post till today, and yesterday all the weekends transactions post. but since the $500 is off in la-la land getting processed, I get hit with 5 overdrafts. and they charge me $33 for each one.
even though there was more than sufficient funds to cover it in the savings account. unfortunately, you can only link 1 account, not 2. So they tell me I'm SOL. because it wasn't a "bank error". but it sure as hell was a "bank limitation".

Once upon a time there lived a man named MoneyShot.
MoneyShot had a car.
He took said car to 'Maughan Thiem Ford' (A dealership/service centre in Adelaide).
They fixed a coolant leak. yay!
They broke the oil gasket. boo!
They fixed the oil gasket free of charge. yay?
They forgot to put oil back in the car. boo!
MoneyShot's car siezed up the next day. oh nohs!
MoneyShot's car was fucked. =(
Maughan Thiem took two weeks to replace the engine and fix their shit up (free of charge obviously) and "made sure it was perfect, you know, that's why it took so long"... yay?
MoneyShot received the car back.
MoneyShot checked coolant and oil. They were filled up. yay!
MoneyShot's car overheats the day after he gets it back with some nice steam coming from the engine (no HL2) .. FUCKING BOOO!!
What the fuck is this fucking joke? Am I on the latest reality tv show!!?!? FUCK

Q: I was wondering about the progress at Valve. I know you announced that the preload would start on Monday, but since it didn't i'm sure you guys are working on something hard over there. Do you have any information as to what the current progress is, or any plans for preloading? I'm not asking for a date...maybe just some information about the progress. Thanks for your time!

I love the series but for some reason this just looks like more of the same. They are supposedly emphasising squad tactics and non scripted ai, but man...just looks like same ol medal of honor to me, the graphics themselves are not impressive, something about the way they model humans. After about 4 minutes i got really bored just watching it. If a game grabs me ill watch endless amount of footage on it and every video i've seen of this game just bores me to tears. I hope the game is good but its so very underwhelming at this point :(

I'm fond of the vertical dotted lines, but it didn't look very good when used as a footer. The gradient that's there might be OK, but it doesn't look quite right. Suggestions?

Since upgrading to Service Pack 2 on WindowsXP, when I turn on my computer every a.m. I am instantly logged into Windows Messenger.
I have gone into MSN Messenger / IE / Outlook Express and turned off "Automatically login to Messenger", but it is still logging in.
The problem is (I think) is that there is a "Windows" Messenger and a "MSN" Messenger. "Windows" Messenger doesn't show up under Add/Remove Programs.
Any ideas how to get rid of it?
