Random Rants

Ugh, are the Giants the only ones who can beat the Pats in the postseason?

[seanocono]

The Ravens were one dropped pass from beating them last year. Should be an interesting rematch next weekend.

[tigerpac]

Hope so!

Some tree workers are clearing the trees off the power lines, in front of my house this morning.  One dude has insulated Carhartt loggers on and the other dude has some late 90's Levi's on (almost white looking). If I ever hit the lottery, I'd love to hand out IH to dudes like this. I'd love to see how IH holds up to other shit like Carhartt, in the REAL work place.

I believe one of IH's customers is a rancher in Montana.

1 inch of snow and the country comes to a stand still.  No UPS Collection today - Jeez…..

[MP]

It's f***** hopeless, there is snow in this country on a reasonably frequent basis, and it just makes everything turn to shit. I'm sitting at Heathrow with ten thousand other pissed off passengers, at least I'm just delayed and not cancelled like most of them.
On the bright side, I'm leaving the bloody place!

[DougNg]

Maryland is the same way. An inch of snow and people are filling their stockrooms with emergency supplies. I tell Jody and Steven that if you can see your belt buckle, it hasn't really snowed yet

I ordered something from Japan a week ago and was wondering why it was taking so long to get a shipping status….I read the bottom of the email and the say they wanted to be paypalled. I'm an eejit

Anyone own boots with a ripple sole? Avoid ice at all costs.

Laptop died.  Shit.  Now I have to see if I can save the data on the hard drive.

No, I don't have a recent back up.  Yes, I'm aware of how much of a dumbass that makes me.

[DougNg]

If it's not a massive corruption or your computer is smoking, a lot of the time you can yank the hard drive out and connect it to another computer as an external drive with a 15 dollar kit.

[bagley920]

I keep everything on my external hard drive

[Chris]

Yeah, it's just an OS fail, so yanking the drive and popping it into external enclosure isn't a big deal.  I've done it a couple of times in the past.  Just a hassle I don't want to deal with right now.

Laptop is pushing three years old anyway, and I was expecting something like this eventually.  I told Julie a few weeks ago that it was starting to gimp a little and that I was going to look for a replacement soon.  Guess the timeline got moved up.  Gotta arrange the funding…

If you're into Mac, there was a Air laptop for like $500 on styleforum

[shoque]

Just install Dropbox and keep your important data there (documents etc.). That's where I keep all the precious IH website stuff. Hasn't failed on me yet.
