Windows Service Pak 3 and stuff…

Folks–

It appears that I got the home computer buzzing efficiently, but I’m still tweaking it, installing necessary programs, uploading updates, downloading downdates, and lashing down the loose ends while adjusting the fuel mix and intake valves.  We’re almost there.  Meanwhile…

Here’s how I got indirectly sucked into blogging. Neatorama posted a link to a joke contest in 2007 that I couldn’t pass up.  Anita Bath asked if I’d like to be a guest poster, and after assisting me with posting for an inordinate amount of time, Anita Bath goaded encouraged me to start my own site.  Old news.

So here are the short jokes I submitted.  Some are very old, some are credited, some are true,  and some I made up. Continue reading “Windows Service Pak 3 and stuff…”

Saturday Matinee – Kill a ‘Dilla, Comma Song, Follow the Sun, Waiting on a Friend, Happy Boy

KillaDilla.

Jimmy Jones’ “Handy Man” cracked me up when I was a tad. I remember it as the “Comma Song.”

Del Shannon came a long way from 1961’s  “Hats Off To Larry.” This song made it to Number 9 in November 1964.

This is one of the prettiest songs the Stones ever did, not that they were ever known for pretty.

And because my computer has been reborn and hasn’t thrown up in over 24 hours, here’s a repost of  the late great Country Dick Montana & the Beat Farmers to sum up my current mental outlook.

[Update:  The computer hospital called up today and told me that my Univac was healthy again.  I picked up the pup about 3PM, brought him home, combed through the archives for hookup procedures. The good folks at Adam’s Electronics backed up my archives AND programs… on the hard drive.

I don’t know what caused the crash, but I spent all afternoon and evening trying to get it back up and running after a coupla more system crashes.

All my bookmarks are gone, and I haven’t resolved the emailage yet.

It’s now 1:42AM and I’m back online. I’ll be sleeping in tomorrow.]

This was sitting around in the WTF Bin. So we decided to use the time tested TR tenet:  When in doubt throw it out… there.

The photos in Michael Yon’s blog are amazing, as are his stories posted from Afghanistan.   I cropped the image above only for more detail in this post.

TR Spoofed by VE

Tracking Balloons_VE 090817

VE has been posting parodies of  sites on his blogroll, and today is our roasting.   More here.

Other news:  The computer at TR Headquarters threw a fit over the weekend, and I spent most of Saturday trying every trick in the toolbox, occasionally getting it to boot without crashing, only to have it crash again. No virus detected, and resetting the system worked only temporarily.

Yesterday I took it into the hospital. I’m hoping that it’s nothing worse than a failed power supply.

[Update:  The hospital called a while a go.  Corrupted sectors on the hard drive.  We’re talking reformat city. Crap.]

Dude, um, that ain’t no “Saturday Night Special.”

Saturday Matinee – ’65, ’66 & ’67

Folks, we had some odd computer problems today, so we had to throw this together at the last minute.

Hello Vancouver!

1965, Doug Sahm & the Sir Douglas Quintet.

1966 Yardbirds.  That was the same year Dad bought a set of the World Book Encyclopedia. The cellophane inserts  showing frog anatomy were very cool.

1967, crappy sound, but it’s the Blues Magoos.

1967, and Stephen Stills was only 22 in this video.  I was into Big Daddy Roth and Mad Magazine.  Oh, man.  Seems like it was just February.
