At least on a personal front there is still no news to report. I have short-timers syndrome but still no word from the mighty HR gods on my new gig.
In an unrelated note, the Zen calendar today offers this:
A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
-Thomas A Kempis
I’m feeling pretty close to God these days (He has bad breath BTW) but I’m not so sure about the humble part. I think I know myself well enough, and like the man says, "…its hard to be humble when your perfect in every way."
And on that completely ridiculous note…
Seems its not just a verb anymore. Residents of Fucking, Austria recently defeated a proposal to change the town’s name despite some problems attached to the unique moniker.
The 150 or so people who live in the village debated the issue after roadsigns kept being stolen – many by British tourists.
Spokesman Siegfried Hoeppl, said, "Everyone here knows what it means in English, but for us F*cking is F*cking – and it`s going to stay F*cking – even though the signs keep getting stolen."
Yetis, they’re not just legends anymore. If you haven’t seen Yeti Sports, creators of of the Pingu Toss games, check them out today. The 5th version, Flamingo Drive, sees our furry hero in Africa trying to smack the hapless tuxedoed fowl across the the safari landscape.
RPGers! Tired of all the old cliches? Then you will want to check out the beta version of Kingdom of Loathing. An online MUD style game that is sure to entertain. In lieu of the standard Warrior/Wizard/Theif arrangement, KoL offers some new charaters to play.
I just don’t know what to do with this but… You should check out the Cliche Dance anyway. Don’t ask for an explanation. Some people just have too much time on their hands.
How do you manage your links? Because the folks at Hyper-Link-O-Matic think they have a better way.
Hyperlinkomatic is a smart alternative to dumb lists of favorites and bookmarks.
You can grab links, makes notes, set multiple categories, search links, import links from web pages, upload bookmarks, create bookmarks files, share links, publish links. It is, in short, a place to keep your links.
After all, the net’s bigger than a favorites list. And it’s not getting any smaller…
One of the very nice features is that you can put a link in as many categories as you like and have a wonderful cross referenced library of links. I’m not completely sold on the interface but I think they have a pretty good base to work from.
Ever get asked stupid questions? Not anymore! When someone walks into your cube and asks how many barrels are in a hogshead or other equally annoying inquiries, just tell them to FGI it.
And that, my dear friends is all the Grind you need to enjoy another weekend.
