http://www.bendawos.com The busy and hectic life of Ben Dawos who's always running out of... everything. Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:29:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This Saturday ma good 'ol highschool friend Charles "The Saint" Fulton is FINALLY tying the knot, i.e. purrrrsy whipped for life... and I say "FINALLY" because the darned bugger postponed his wedding 3 times, yes, THREE times over a period of more than a year... and I actually flew home ... http://www.bendawos.com/22/02/2008/im-a-leavin-on-a-jet-plane/ I caught an interesting sight at Chadstone this evening: the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!! Granted, it's not as large as the BSOD in Toronto last November: But hey; if the Great Gates himself admits that Windows isn't as peachy as he'd like it to be- it can't be all that bad, ... http://www.bendawos.com/22/02/2008/bsod-at-chaddy/ I never knew oily, crunchy Smith's potato chips were naturally healthy... Well, now I know. Now I can munch on them all day long without the guilt trip. Grab them from shelves labelled 'Natural Health' at Coles, Burwood Highway. Note: This is not Photoshopped http://www.bendawos.com/13/02/2008/chips-naturally-healthy/ I haven't been blogging lately (not that anyone notices, or cares). It seems the more interesting and/or busy my life gets, the less time I blog about it. Ironic, isn't it? Desu ne? Ne? Rest assured, whoever is reading this (you poor soul), that I'll be back soon... Hopefully. [Tags]busy[/Tags] http://www.bendawos.com/13/02/2008/ran_out_of_time/ I love Apple's Get a Mac ads, but sometimes they can get a bit (well-deservedly, mind you) cocky and self-indulgent. It's all good fun that never fails to garner a chuckle out of me, though... [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWnyUHwoYI[/youtube] Nonetheless, Microsoft's new book Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? surely takes the ... http://www.bendawos.com/15/01/2008/mommy-server-in-the-house/ %#^%*@%*!?! This morning in the midst of some heavy 'working' I got attacked by worm.win32.huhk.c! Crap. The worst part of it is that it infected my explorer.exe! For the uninitiated, explorer.exe is the Windows Explorer executable file, i.e. the Graphical User Interface (GUI) you see in Windows and use to work ... http://www.bendawos.com/20/12/2007/worm-attack/ Driving thru Blackburn Rd, Mt Waverley this morning I came upon an interesting sight, not often seen around these parts. A cable was running from the main phone lines to a tree. Well, my guess is either: Someone wanted to conduct a mad experiment to fry this tree if with a freak electricity ... http://www.bendawos.com/19/12/2007/net-hooked-tree/ So just WHAT have you been up to on your computer? No NSFW or pr0n sites, lately? Oh, sure... I believe you. For those of you nosy SysAdmins, curious Bosses, and suspecting spouses looking to peep at what your employees (or loved ones) have been up to on their computers, I ... http://www.bendawos.com/17/12/2007/track-computer-usage-with-rescuetime/ Last Friday, I had some time to spare for lunch so I treated myself to a Bachelor Feast. After a quick pit stop at the local Safeway (and a hefty bill later), I was soon at home with my scrumptious spread on my desk: LE MENU ALA BACHELOR Appetisers Continental Cup-A-Soup - Creamy ... http://www.bendawos.com/12/12/2007/bachelor-feast/ This afternoon my neighbour's cat decided to have a vanity session at my place. As much as I wanted to hug and squeeze the filling out of her, she was metres away as soon as her acute senses detected my grubby paws reaching closer. Coming from a town that literally means ... http://www.bendawos.com/11/12/2007/i-wuv-cats/
