I wanted to see what it'd be like to be that "creepy dude in the corner" for once.

It's the same in the corner.

Dial up? Seriously?

I don't think I've had dial up since 2000.

I think the corner was pretty cool, I'll bring my trenchcoat and a folding chair next time.

Last night I was up for a long time buying a portable TTY phone on eBay and some PLA buttons, then was late for work and the whole day sucked. Now it's done YAAAAAAY!

Frightening symmetry!

Funny thing is, it's true.

My laser that I feared was broken yesterday at work is working today! Hail Eris, I shall once again have fun in public places today!

Late adopter, eh?

BizB · « **Reply #1560 on:** January 29, 2007, 02:56:39 PM »

Yeah. The ex-wife wouldn't let me spend the extra money on it. As soon as she was history, so was slow intarwebs.

Agent_Tachyon · « **Reply #1561 on:** January 29, 2007, 02:58:31 PM »

I just subscribed to 2600, so any doubts I may have had about being on some government watchlist are long gone.

pbsaurus · « **Reply #1562 on:** January 29, 2007, 03:00:50 PM »

Good thing you got rid of her then. My wife was working for an ISP in '99 so we had free 768 sDSL. Prior to that we had cable. The last time I was on dial-up was near the beginning of '98, but I did most of my work at the computer lab at school which had a T1.

We had dial up until I went away to college in the fall of 2002. Once my mother realized that it would be easier to stalk my movements online at any time through aim, they upgraded to cable.

I can see the rationalization that took place there. I mean, AIM is just too slow over dial up... what with all the streaming graphics and all.

I found 23 (omfg) labels under my station at work and wrote cryptic/graphic things on them all shift. Tonight I think I'll put them on the payphones/PBX cabinets/Traffic lights/bus shacks around my current base of operations.

Exactly. This also means they are able to check my away messages and read my profile and then grill me on what every little thing means until they are satisfied by the answer. So I try to use numbers in the place of letters every so often (my 733t sp34k kinda sucks, so I wouldn't quite call what I do "leet") as that really messes them up....I lead a sad and useless existence.

But, you're like away at college, right? Like....AWAY

Like, not living under their roof, right?

Why do you care what they think anyway?

Cut those apron strings!

Today it occurred to me that much hilarity could ensue if I got an electric toothbrush, connected it to my laser pointer, and cemented it in a public place where the whirling red dot would provoke much speculation from the onlookers.

12AX7 · « **Reply #1572 on:** January 30, 2007, 09:36:42 PM »

Sounds like when I worked in an Exxon convience store. Yeah, we did the "superglue-a-quarter-to-the-counter-and-deliberately-place-their-change-on-top-of-it" joke. Management frowned on that. Party poopers.

I'm glad Miko fell. I never liked her. HAHA!

Today at work I got a call for a product I'd never seen before: the Fresh Box.

I did lol for about five minutes right at the caller, then gained enough composure to proceed to the help screen, where I found this:

WARNING: All operators are to deny knowledge that the product will enhance home grown marijuana.

I did lol for another five, then hung up.
