Computer asks me… “Would you like to correct these errors?”

Uh… NO! What do you think??? I like my computer buggy…

Wait…

That could explain everything!

So, I went a little nuts. I decided that the tables on this page needed tidying up, and so… I got rid of all of them (that’s all of them) and formatted the page with CSS instead. A couple of little glitches (i.e. I need to edit all of my date images), but I think I got it working. And now… no more brain usage for me for a while.

Comment I found on halfbakery.com (all by myself, BTW. Pah!): “Web logs make me nuts. It’s a pretentious circle of self-important webheads who think the rest of the world is interested in what movie they saw last night. News flash: they’re not. The only people who read blogs are other bloggers.”

Yes.

Hey, wanna know what results I got on this really neat personality disorder test I took the other day?

Narcissist.

Okay?

All of you.

Narcissists.

All of you.

It was against everything I stand for to link to that site, but it had to be done.
Not that I stand for anything.
Or anything.

Konrad and the fascists both.

Apparently the Government of Canada is going through some sort of copyright reform process. I haven’t read all of these pages through yet. But I’m sure there are some bits of it that will piss me off later, when I do. Because as I scan through it, I keep picking out little words like “prevent,” “prohibit.” I’m finding a lot of these words in sentences referring to the Internet and especially online file sharing. See, here’s a bit I don’t like: “Domestically, some copyright stakeholders have indicated that in the absence of a prohibition against the manufacture and traffic in circumvention devices, would-be infringers can legally access the means that enable infringement. [dot dot dot] The departments have considered the possibility of restricting or prohibiting the traffic in circumvention devices.” Though the same section (4.2 Legal Protection of Technological Measures) explains that this possibility is quite unrealistic, I still think they better make sure to leave it the hell alone (er, they make this point as well… (“There is concern that the Copyright Act may not be the proper instrument for protection measures that, prima facie, are extraneous to copyright principles.”)

The site also reminded me how pissed off I still am about the levy on blank audio recording media (Bill C-32) (BTW, why did I never hear that this was increased? Seems everyone has lost interest, but the Government keeps going…)

I also have issues with the possibility of an increased term of protection for copyright from life plus 50 years to life plus 70. The United States has done this already, thus allowing the copyright on Mickey Mouse to be extended 20 years from it’s old expiry date of 2004. As it stands, Mickey will become public domain in 2024 in the U.S., but I am reading, it may be legal to use Mickey in Canada within three years. The date will be extended, though, you can count on that. The corporations will see to it.

Okay, I’m totally lost in what I’m saying now… Let’s stop typing!

No More Periods, Period? “Dr. David Cohen, a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of Chicago, doesn’t think women in general will be opposed to not bleeding every month.”

Damn straight…

Know what’s stupid?
<3
How dopey IS that?
Whose idea was it?
They should be made to pay.
When did this start?
I haven’t been keeping up.

It took me forever to find these files. So if anybody is interested in downloading all four of the songs Stephen Moore recorded starring Marvin the Paranoid Android from the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you’ll find them here.

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with the music biz. It’s the music. Oh. And also, the biz.

Somebody wanna give me mono, please? I figure that would be a good way to get out of work for the rest of the summer… Dammit.
