Illegal Discount?

I went to the supermarket the other day and here’s one of the coupons I got at the checkout.

Excluding products prohibited by law? What? I can’t use this coupon next week when I stop by Schnucks to stock up on crack, automatic firearms, and black market kidneys? Dang!

That which does not instill confidence -or- Fragile, do not handle with care

Steve Jamieson — Tue, 23 May 2006 03:44:37 +0000

On the way home from work today, I was waiting at an intersection to make a right turn while the oncoming left turn traffic passed by. The last vehicle was a FedEx truck that was going along pretty fast as if to squeak by before losing the right of way. As the truck was finishing it’s turn and I started my turn, I noticed a small brown box skidding in my direction from the center of the intersection just before it hit the concrete island between the main road and my right turn lane. As I merged onto the road, the FedEx truck came to a stop in front of me and the driver jumped out and started running back to where the liberated package had come to a rest. Oops!

My computer isn’t crazy!

Steve Jamieson — Wed, 23 Jul 2003 02:51:16 +0000

Today, while studying, I decided to keep my computer occupied by having it update all the UNIXy stuff that I’ve installed through Fink. While glancing at the installer output in the terminal, I noticed the following line.

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

Well, it’s good to know that my computer, or at least my build environment (whatever that is!), is sane. There’s nothing worse than having an insane computer.
