Argh! Some very good, some very bad. I think I’m going to edit. The typos, misspellings, and bad grammar is just terrible. What was I looking at. Argh. Months are tougher now. More content.

XPfails – luggable – OUTLOOK
Tuesday, January 2, 2007Outlook, aka LookOut, takes an error in a reminder. It hangs up. Eventually performance goes to zero. And MSWORD locks up. Arghhh! Reboot required. Lost time ~30 minutes to close up and restart. And, about 2 hours running at reduced throughput. Arghh!

WRITING: BLOG to BOOK tribulation
Monday, January 1, 2007I just finished formatting, but not editing, my first three months of my blog. It’s embarrassing how badly I wrote and spelled. I am sore tempted to “fix” it. But, I am resisting. It’s an art form. Raw and powerful. 25% done. But, I am bored and need a break.

RANT: Specialist Dustin Donica on December 28
Monday, January 1, 2007U.S. suffers 3,000th casualty with New Year
Mon Jan 1, 2007 3:16am ET136
*** begin quote ***
Specialist Dustin Donica on December 28 together with a soldier killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad on Saturday, bringing the total to 3,000.
*** end quote ***
This is tragic. Soon the administration will announce our exit strategy. And, I’ll wonder why this man died.
I’ll give him an exit strategy.
“Everyone exit south thru Kuwait. Spike the guns that you can’t move. Blow up the ammo that can’t be taken easily. And, proceed calmly and quietly to the exit. Like the Dunkirk rescue, planes will ferry you non-stop to the USA. When you arrive, please check in with the military police at the airport who will give you your discharge papers. Thank you for your service. Have a nice life!”
We screwed up. It’s a shame. But stuff happens.

INTERESTING: CBSNY TV did nothing for new years?
Monday, January 1, 2007Did someone forget that Sunday night was New Years? Maybe Katie was too busy with the Ford funeral to do “it”? In these days of look a like media (i.e., the media mimics each other), it was a glaring flaw. It’s pretty sad when the Game Show Network has more New Year’s hoopla than a major NYC TV station. Even more pathetic is that I noticed. Doesn’t Dick Clark look terrible? It’s noble that he tries to carry on the tradition, but it’s very flawed. It makes me think of my eventual end. Doesn’t make for good escapist “everyone’s happy in times square” tv.
Happy new year to anyone who reads this.
