this post is a long list of links that i’ve collected over the past two years or so, and saved because i thought i’d be able to classify them somehow. i haven’t had anywhere else to put them, so they’re going here.

Swearsaurus – How to insult, swear, and curse in 170 languages! – just what everyone needs!

Your Age In Days – another thing that everyone needs to know…

Kentucky Mountain Bible College Has A New Phone Number! – their old phone number was 666-5000, and every good kentucky bible college needs a phone number that doesn’t invoke satan…

Build your own Klingon disruptor from The Register (my favourite news source)… “An ex-US Navy engineer … for the price of $500… has built a ‘gun’ … can disable almost any piece of electronic equipment from 20 feet away.” “He claims to have built another machine capable of crashing computers, and cars from a distance of 100 feet. That one cost him less than $300.” whee!

Bullets Screen Saver for Windows – if you use windoesn’t, this is definitely the screen saver for you… if you don’t, then it’s an amusing look at how the other half deals with their computer crashing all the time.

along the same lines, there are The top ten reasons Eternal Damnation is better than Windows Software Development – as i said, these are links that i’ve collected over the past year or so, and these two obviously came from when i was working for a windoesn’t development group somewhere.

To Foo or Not Tofu… foo, bar, baz, qux, quux, corge, grault, garply, waldo, fred, plugh, xyzzy, thud. this goes along with Metasyntactic Variables and RFC 3092, and needs no further explanation. if you can’t figure it out, be thankful you’re not a geek.

The Nit Picker’s Guide to the Lord of the Rings – which is why i will never enjoy the movie version anywhere near as much as i enjoyed the books.

yahoo spyware!! – do i need to say anything more?

Badvertising on the Net – which is another link that i found while working for a windows development group… and an idea which, if i were a windoesn’t user, would probably be high on my list of things i need to do.

RFID-Zapper – make friends and influence people at a local mall near you… just don’t get caught, ’cause the people that put RFID tags on things are pretty protective of their stuff… and, for the moment, it is still their stuff…

Omantel Services Domain Name Registration – yes, here is how you get a domain name with a .om TLD…

Time Surfer for Mac OsX – now this is a bizarre bit of coincidence here… i found this, i don’t know, probably a year and a half or two years ago, and didn’t do anything with it, and eventually forgot that i had the link. then, last year at the oregon country fair, i sat down to rest one afternoon and noticed this thing sitting on the hay bale behind me, with a sticky-note attached to it that said “free – for YOU!”, so i picked it up. it was a small square, green package that looked as if it might be a book or something, closed with a zipper, but when i opened it, it was clear that i wasn’t going to be able to make any sense of it where i was, so i zipped it back up and brought it home with me, where i could examine it in detail without having to worry about losing the many little parts that were contained inside. it said “DREAMSPELL – The Journey of Timeship Earth 2013” and contained inside were everything one would need to fortell the future using the ancient mayan calendar… or something like that, i couldn’t figure it out, because the book was written in a teensy font and went on and on and on and on without getting to very much of a point at all. apparently the book contains the basics for reading the mayan calendar, and the other stuff is for using the mayan calendar to fortell the future, or something like that. anyway, i was going through my list of links the other day, and found this one which says “Time Surfer is a unique program for discovering the cyclic interwoven timing frequencies of the Mayan Long Count, Tzokin, Haab and the Dreamspell Calendars.” perhaps the time is right for me to look into this again, especially since the program is free…

we hope to see you there!
