ROFL @ the Macsturbator!

Tuesday April 20th 2004

Over the easter weekend, Jeffrey Zeldman decided to upgrade his Mac. Installation & sense of humour failure ensued.

I’m allowed to find this funny because earlier in the same week I upgraded the hardware in my own computer and ended up in a similar OS related catch 22 situation. Fortunately the exceptionally clever IT chap at work came dashing to the rescue and the machine was back in action with in a day or two.

Also, since I don’t bray all the time about how great my operating system is, I think I’m allowed to laugh my frickin’ head off when the Grand High Wizard of Macsturbation gets shafted by the company he’s constantly worshipping. There’s something deliciously ironic about that. :o)

Flying like Kings

Monday April 19th 2004

You know the old adage “if assholes could fly, this place would be an airport”?

Well, if assholes could fly, then Kings Chrysler in Liverpool would be a Trans-Dimensional Inter-Galactic Spaceport for them.

Which means that, yes, the saga of Kings Chrysler being difficult over the matter of a spare key is still ongoing – almost two years after buying the car from them. Stroppy letters to them and Trading Standards ahoy.

Further Haunting

Tuesday March 30th 2004

The russian girl who likes to take her motorbike for a ride into the the desolate area left by the Chernobyl disaster has updated her site since I last mentioned it here on infoxicated.com. As well as some expanded commentary, she’s added a few more pictures too. If you didn’t visit the last time then I urge you to do so now – you’re probably not going to see stuff like this in real life. Well, unless some terrorists eventually get their hands on a nuke at some point.
