Well, holy shit. It turns out the antique mini-fridge and microwave oven combo (a Tatung TMO 6610) was produced by a company later found to have violated a bunch of FDA testing/certification rules, and apparently the microwave oven emits an unacceptably high amount of microwave radiation outside the actual oven. The real amount is redacted in this report by the FDA, but it’s sure nice to know this thing is probably slow-cooking my brain and testicles (the only two important bits, right? ) every time I use it.

Thanks, Quality Inn, for this fun addition to my weekday life. Extra excitement — all part of the service. Read the full story...

Despite my random rantings here, I really do try to be a mellow, accommodating person whenever I can in Real Life(tm).

What I can’t figure out, though, is what motivates a person to do idiotic things like this. Some of my neighbours do the same thing at my apartment (though since I finally just went outside to actually yell at them for it, I’m pleased and surprised to report that it’s mostly stopped), but it’s going on right now at the hotel where I’m staying.

I don’t have lots of time today to write up anything (but hey, at least I’m posting, eh?); work has me quite busy as usual.

I just wanted to check in and comment though, that I absolutely love the “most viewed image” on the site: this fun little screencap of a hot nekkid girl.

Girls rock. Hot girls rock. Nekkid girls rock. Hot nekkid girls rock a whole lot, probably more than most anything else can rock for a (straight) guy So keep on clicking that link and admiring the hot nekkid girl.

Here’s a short, nearly completely randomly-ordered list of little things that really make me happy. I’m talking “loving life” happy

Just some fair warning … if you don’t already know by now, I’m not always an incredibly nice person. Some of these happy moments are genuinely “aw, shucks” things. Others derive directly from my enjoyment of the mild annoyance, discomfort, and irritation of others. I try my very best to ensure they deserve my derision. Still, I probably seem like a dick as I describe some of these.

Oh well. Read the full story...

Ironically, this one wasn’t caused by Comcast

Chalk this one up to a goof between my UPS and my desktop, which both pulled double-shifts this week to earn their dunce caps.

There was a brief power loss Monday morning, apparently long enough for the UPS to decide “hey, man, I’m dyin’ here.” My desktop received its signal properly and started a shutdown, as it should. Two seconds after that, the power came back on. The UPS signaled “okay, power’s back.” Read the full story...

My final conversation with Comcast on Tuesday yielded some fruit: in exchange for over twenty outages in less than one calendar month, they gave me a free month of service (a total of about $49 in service credits after all the math settled down). The credit’s already applied and I paid a remarkably light bill this month (there’s a DVR and subsidized “digital cable” on the bill, too).

So far there haven’t been any outages since the last one that prompted the latest flurry of calls (and the Twitter complaints), but it’s only been about a week, so we’ll see how long they can keep their network up and running this time. Read the full story...

Well, this shouldn’t shock anyone. Comcast’s technician came and went without finding anything wrong in our apartment or even our neighborhood. “ComcastBill” is mysteriously silent. Typical behavior — the minute you ask someone for money, they clam up. I knew that was all smoke & mirrors. Read the full story...

Apparently my recent Twitter comment about Comcast’s astoundingly bad service over the past month got their attention [^1] and less than a day after “twitting” my complaint about Comcast’s recent service, I got a phone call from Bill offering to schedule a service tech to come out to check on things today. That beats what I can get from the regular phone agents at Comcast — typically the best they can offer me is a few days’ turnaround time. Read the full story...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, folks; it’s been an insanely busy month. Since I got back from our last cruise in early March, I was (quickly, as in “holy shit we need somebody now”) interviewed by EA Tiburon and hired nearly as fast.

I’ve been commuting to and from Tallahassee & Orlando each week since then, and it’s been insanely busy at home and at work.

I’m probably going to make less frequent posts/updates, but I’m going to try to generate actually useful content (pages instead of blog posts if I can manage it). Read the full story...

A trip to the grocery store today gave us an interesting opportunity to observe some seriously confusing and hypocritical behavior in the form of a socially awkward man shopping in the frozen foods section. Read the full story...
