Followup to last night's http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=18504614 now with story and pics.

I was playing some Fallout 3 and I heard my wife run and slide in her socks across the linoleum floor downstairs. She called upstairs, "I just started a fire." There was no urgency in her voice whatsoever, so I figured she put a log in the fireplace just like the night before. But then I replayed those two events in my head and slowly realized how strange it would be for her to run across the kitchen just to tell me she had started a fire in the fireplace. I asked "In the fireplace?" and she replied "No!".

Adrenaline spike.

Turns out she had washed her shoes, my son's shoes, and my daughter's shoes earlier in the evening and had decided to dry them in the oven so they would be dry in the morning. She said she actually had the oven door open and the temperature set as low as possible, but somehow her shoes actually caught on fire. By the time I got down there the fire was out her shoes were smoking on the oven door.

As she related the story to me, I learned she had grabbed the burning shoes with her bare hands and blown out the fire. I kindly informed her that step 1 of dealing with a fire in the oven is to leave it in the oven, as opposed to her strategy of TAKE FIRE OUT OF OVEN AND PUT CLOSER TO FLAMMABLE THINGS LIKE FACE AND HOUSE.

Anyway, her shoes were burnt up pretty bad and part of one of my son's shoes was melted and brown and ruined. My daughter's shoes were on the top rack and were undamaged. At least the smoke alarms didn't go off. Thank god for the vaulted ceiling. :(

Her shoes:

This is a really simple question, please satisfy my curiosity (i'm superbad with these things):

Why is it that this doesnt work:
```
<?php if (!$node->field_image_cache == NULL) { 

<a href="<?=base_path()?><?=$imagePath?>" rel="lightbox[prod]">

<img src="<?=base_path()?>files/imagecache/product/<?=$imagePath?>" alt="<?=$title?>" title="<?=$title?>" class="imagecache imagecache-product">

</a>

 } ?>
```
But the following does?
```
<?php if (!$node->field_image_cache == NULL) { ?>

<a href="<?=base_path()?><?=$imagePath?>" rel="lightbox[prod]">

<img src="<?=base_path()?>files/imagecache/product/<?=$imagePath?>" alt="<?=$title?>" title="<?=$title?>" class="imagecache imagecache-product">

</a>

<?php } ?>
```
Why do i have to close the <?php> tags on the same line, line by line?

son of a bitch.

i caught a chest cold last weekend and have spent the week fighting it off. i was kept up half of last night coughing, so tonight on the way home from work i picked up some cough syrup with DXM (Delsym). I eyeballed the dose before bed because i didn't want to put on clothes to go downstairs and get a teaspoon. big mistake.

about an hour in, i woke up with my lips tingling and my temples fucking itching. i went back over to the bathroom counter and looked at the bottle. i had accidentally drank a full ounce of it, which equates to about 180 mg of buffered DXM. fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

so now i'm lying here, tripping my balls off on accident, and i can't sleep. i have to be into the office at 9 AM for a conference call with my customers in california. i can feel every fucking pore tingling on either side of my head. and i'm spacey, and my hands don't necessarily do what i tell them to. erowid and its sister sites tell me i won't OD, though the buffering effect of this particular syrup is going to make Friday a total bitch for me.

i wonder whether i'm even safe to drive in the morning...

roommate / web traffic stuffs.

one of my roommates is a download whore. i don't know what he's downloading, as i'm not the apartment morality police (entirely different story).

anyway he has multiple torrents going at any one time during the day while we're at work, and when i get home i have to pull his cat5 from the router if his pc is locked.

SO my question to you guys.....is there a free (or cheap) tool that will let me monitor bandwidth being chewed by specific computers. i kind of want to log this stuff for records.

Dear Shacknews,

Please help me upgrade my friend's computer. It is old and he wants to be able to play fallout 3. Here are the specs:

Athlon 64 3200+ (2 GHz)
Radeon X550
1GB RAM

Is it possible to upgrade this so it can at least play fallout 3 on low settings without replacing the whole computer?

Got bless you, Georgia Tech. Thanks to your beat down of Miami last night, Virginia Tech now controls it's own destiny in the ACC Coastal. Beat Duke and UVA, and we are in. How? Because the completely convoluted season that could have as many as 4 teams tied for the division lead ends up working out for us.

VT and GT: VT wins
VT, GT, and UNC: VT wins
VT, GT, and Miami: VT wins
VT, GT, UNC, and Miami: VT wins

Nice position to be in, lol

WTF?

My sister just sent me an email asking how I would pronounce the following name:

Le-a

So, I replied with "lee-uh", or maybe "lay-uh".

Nope. It's "luh-DASH-uh". You have to pronounce the -.

One of her coworker's wives was a court reporter in a custody hearing, and I guess one of the attorneys referred to this lady's daughter as "lee-uh" and the mom had a fit.

DirecTV vs. My Mom's New Townhouse

So after rescheduling and canceling and missing appointments, the DirecTV installer finally shows up at My Mom's New Townhouse. The HOA has rules about where the dish can be installed (specifically, only attached to the chimney), but the DirecTV rep I talked to said it wouldn't be a problem, they do it all the time, blah blah blah.

Installer shows up, takes one look at the chimney and says Nope. Says no installre will do it, the new dishes are 35lbs., and would rip off of their in a windstorm/snowstorm without a second thought. I'm thinking "what the fuck they're bolted in", but the guy is obviously not going to do it, so I send him on my way and call DirecTV, who have already heard that "we didn't have permission" to do it, I straighten them out, and they offer to send out a second opinion.

I find it incredibly hard to believe no one in this development has had a new DirecTV install in the last however-long-these-new-dishes-have-been-in-circulation. This installer I had come out was obviously fucking with me, right?

eh whatever if my mom gets comcast i can welcome her to the tivolution

So I noticed something cool in a semi-recent City of Heroes update notes (reading up since I just got a free 2 month time card, probably won't resub though since WoW owns me right now, though I never really gave CoH a chance).

Levelling A new innovation to MMOs, this system allows you and a friend to create new characters and have your XP be permanently in sync, whether both characters are online or not. You will always be the same level, even if your friend plays ten times more often than you do! It's sort of like "Extreme Sidekicking."

How cool is that? Even if you only use it on an alt, I know a bunch of friends who tried levelling together then failed since one couldn't play quite as often.

Just a quick L4D shoutout to an amazing VS. game last night.

Prox, Aristotle.d, gnomish, moonbase, thief, razebol, zombie food, and others...

GOOD GAMES and that was fun as shit. I had so much fun that I downed half a fifth of Makers Mark and when I tried another campaign with Vile and Coy and some others, I spent more time TK'ing them than actually shooting zombies. Much fun.

But I did realize for those infected players out there, that consuming whiskey helps your edge considerably, so there's that.
