You know, one of those ones where the mouse tormets the cat. And I’m the cat. After over two months of no evidence of mouse. I just saw him staring at me from the entrance to the kitchen with that look of “HA. Thought you’d gotten rid of me!” Then it gave me the finger and ran away. Bastard. This means war.

I could major in this. I wonder if they supply air tanks or if you learn to hold your breath for a long time as part of the major.

This week another installment of The Analog Lounge. This time hilighting the Dubcoast connection. We’ve been going for a few months now and really should have gotten to it before this. Look for more Dubcoast folks to show up in the future (hopefully). Also I believe Mr Special Pete will be closing out the night for us. And I’m all better now, so I’ll get to treat myself to a Pearl Vodka Martini, YUM.

Sick of telemarketers? I know I am. I don’t even answer my home phone anymore because every time I do I hear a recording start (those are the worst ones too IMHO). There’s relief in sight though.

WASHINGTON, March 11 — President Bush on Tuesday signed legislation creating a national “do-not-call” list intended to help consumers block unwanted telemarketing calls.[MSNBC]

Now we need a ‘do-not-spam’ list.

While browsing through some of my regular reads today I stumbled upon a link from Derek’s Rantings and Musings to Aaron’s Putty World. I had to almost staple myself down to the couch to not give into the urge to get lots of putty. This stuff looks like it is a close cousin to Silly Putty, but in much cooler colors. I think when I get a job I’m going to have a big block of putty on my desk for people to play with.

Update: I ordered and it has shipped already!

As mentioned over at Scobleizer, McD’s is going to be offering WiFi service.

NEW YORK, March 10 — Would you like super-sized Internet access with that burger and fries? In a further sign of the spread of wireless Internet technology, McDonald’s restaurants in three U.S. cities will offer one hour of free high-speed access to anyone who buys a combination meal. [MSNBC]

An hour of time with a meal actually sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Two cheeseburger combo meal for me.

Once again the folks at Perversion Tracker bring us a quality review. This time they review Guinea Pig 1.0. Thanks to them I now know way more than I’d ever want know about Guinea Pigs. Really, I can’t think of anything else I’d care to know about.

I just had to share the love with all of you.

A while back Apple did a preview release of IP over Firewire. I didn’t really pay much attention to it since it isn’t often that I’m doing stuff with two macs. The other day I was grabbing the latest dev tools and decided to download it just so that I would have it handy.

Today I zipped down to my parents place and decided to give it a try, since there was some software I’d downloaded that I wanted to make available to them. Once installed it, I plugged the firewire cable into each computer and was able to see the other under file sharing. This will make it much easier to send files back and forth to them when I’m down visiting. And it means one less cable to carry around with me. I have heard reports of at least one person having a kernal panic when they tried this, but I haven’t seen any sign of anything like that yet (*knock on wood*). Hopefully Apple will roll this into a real release sometime soon.
