been listening for a while now… it’s oddly soothing, and a little scary at the same time…

Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed Windows on my PC and that I am very happy with this operating system. I also showed him the Windows CD, to my surprise he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned on the oven. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: ‘Do not worry, it is unharmed.’
After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: ‘Take a close look at it.’ To my surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but then on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an inscription; an inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:

‘I cannot understand the fiery letters,’ I said.
‘No,’ he said ‘but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:

Thursday will be the 4-month anniversary of our proclaiming our love for one another… 🙂

The Regional Directory is down because one of our servers died (physically). When we get it back from the manufacturer, the Regional Directory will be back up.
All of your entries are present (check your calendar view), but they are not appearing on your recent entries or friends pages. This is a known problem and we are working on it. (thanks to maltor & terytaya)

woo… rough error!!

Man, I can’t get anything done today… 🙂

It’s ok, it’s a nice distraction. Thinking of my sweetie in new jammies… even sketched a doodle in my palm computer during 2 meetings… I need to figure out how to screen-cap, and post them here. fun black and grey-green scribbles. (a sleeping stick-girl, with kitties and me snuggled in there too… what a doofus I am sometimes)

I’m going to have a long hot shower when I get home, and Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeelax.

Had a wonderful walk this morning, stated late, ended late… I’ve got to get back on the ‘Walk in the early morning’ gig… cooler out, and not so much traffic, save for commuters to work. Here in the land of retirees… after 10, it’s just crazy out there.

*giggling*

Thanks Tman, for the link!

Watch out for malevolent cows!

Everyone likes the smell of maple syrup… is there a cologne?

(I know vanilla is one….)

Ahh, the boss is a walking advertisement for decapitation.

Peace, love & Happiness to all! Have a Great Monday!

*wonders how many of those above symbols will work for everyone. 🙂

Why Scotto Has a problem with China.

1. The peaceful Buddhist country of Tibet was invaded by Communist China in 1950. Since that time, over 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed, 6,000 monasteries have been destroyed, and thousands of Tibetans have been imprisoned.
2. Forced abortion, sterilization of Tibetan women and the transfer of low income Chinese citizens into Tibet threaten the very survival of Tibetan culture. In some Tibetan provinces, Chinese settlers outnumber Tibetans–making them a minority in their own country.
3. The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s political and spiritual leader, fled Tibet in 1959. He escaped to India, where he lives now along with the rest of the Tibetan government in exile and over 100,000 Tibetan refugees. The Tibetans continue to resist Chinese rule peacefully and nonviolently. As Buddhists, they are devoted to the principles of nonviolence and compassion for all beings.
4. In Tibet today, there is no freedom of speech, religion, or press and arbitrary arrests continue. There are currently over 700 political prisoners in Tibet. Statistics show that one out of ten Tibetans have been held in prisons or forced labor camps for periods of ten to twenty years. Current political prisoners include a young Fulbright scholar named Ngawang Chophel. The six-year old Panchen Lama (the second most important religious figure in Tibet), disappeared 5 years ago without a trace. It is presumed that he is either dead or being held by Chinese authorities.
5. Most of the Tibetan plateau lies above 14,000 feet. Tibet is the source of five of Asia’s greatest rivers, the life blood of 2 billion people. Since 1959, the Chinese have wreaked havoc on Tibet’s fragile environment through extensive deforestation and open dumping of nuclear waste. Tibet’s most sacred lake, the Yamdrok Tso, is currently being drained for a Chinese hydroelectric power plant.
6. While the Chinese government claims that Tibet has always been a part of China, there is no historical evidence to support this. The two cultures are completely distinct. Their languages do not even come from the same root, and their food, dress, lifestyle, and religion have almost no relation whatsoever.
7. Within China itself, massive human rights abuses continue. The Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989 is only one example of an atrocious human rights record. Some estimate there are as many as twenty million Chinese working in prison camps. Forced prison labor, arbitrary imprisonment, and the imposition of the death penalty for minor offenses continue.
8. Despite all this, the world community has done little to pressure China to improve its human rights record. Major corporations from around the world continue to do business with China. Last year, despite continuing pressure, the United States renewed China’s Most Favored Nation trading status. China represents such a potentially gigantic market that politicians are reluctant to impose any trade sanctions.
9. Despite the assertion by the US government that the presence of US business in China will improve conditions there, things have only gotten worse. A 1995 State Department study showed that cases of human rights abuses were growing in China and Tibet.
10. Time is running out for the people of Tibet. The time is now to take economic and political action against the human rights abuses being committed by the government of China.

Sophomore Uses List Context; Cops Interrogate For anyone who’s ever scripted a web page, read this thoroughly. It’s both hysterical and horrifying.
