Comments(2) Effective today, I finished moving my entire blog over to my little ubuntu box running at home. This one will no longer be updated. Check out all the new bells and whistles:
Ciao!
Taken from Skippy’s blog:
The Skippy List
Explanations of these events:
a) I did myself, and either got in trouble or commended. (I had a Major shake my hand for the piss bottle thing, for instance.)
b) I witnessed another soldier do it. (Like the Sergeant we had, that basically went insane, and crucified some dead mice.)
c) Was spontaneously informed I was not allowed to do. (Like start a porn studio.)
d) Was the result of a clarification of the above. (“What about especially patriotic porn?”)
e) I was just minding my own business, when something happened. (“Schwarz…what is *that*?” said the Sgt, as he pointed to the back of my car? “Um….a rubber sheep…I can explain why that’s there….”)To explain how I’ve stayed out of jail/alive/not beaten up too badly….. I’m funny, so they let me live.
A couple of my personal favorites:
33. Not allowed to chew gum at formation, unless I brought enough for everybody.
34. (Next day) Not allowed to chew gum at formation even if I *did* bring enough for everybody.
Taken from the blog:
6. Your source code control system is a series of folders on a shared drive
…
23. Every bug is prioritized as Critical
…
40. The company motto is ‘Do more with less’
41. The phrase ‘It works on my machine’ is heard more than once a day
…
72. The deadline has been renamed a ‘milestone’…just like the last ‘milestone’
…
84. All performance issues are resolved by getting larger machines
And of course the obligatory (and applicable):
101. “Oh, oh, and I almost forgot. Ahh, I’m also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too… thanks”
I swear this guy must be working at the same place I am… He’s probably just a cube over…
Super tips on getting the most out of life. The two that I need to work on the most? Slow down. and Try rising early. How am I doing so far? Not so good…

An interesting opinion by John C. Dvorak on how the Internet is changing the way lawyers “protect” their clients. Offers insight on how the peer-to-peer and music sharing networks went from underground to mainstream.
I’m a hundred percent behind Digg on this one. Long live user-driven content.
DIGG THIS UP!
BTW, I really could care less about the content. It’s Kevin Rose’s capacity to see through the noise and make the decision that he did that is so impressive.
If you really do care, HD-DVD encryption has been cracked. It’s: 09 f9…
And you thought I was really going to post it… HA 
Excerpted:
“Tim Kawakami is a Mercury News sports columnist, often charitably described as moderately entertaining, occasionally topical and determinedly unfire-able. (We’ve checked on that last one.) He came to the Merc in August 2000, started writing a Page 2 column and migrated to a regular sports column.”
Not the most objective sports columnist but then again, which good ones are? Entertaining to say the least.
