Printer drivers, spooler, etc: What is so freaking difficult about cancelling a print job? I don't know about the rest of the braindead rodents in the world, but TO ME..."Cancel" isn't a meek little suggestion that passes a note to the printer saying "Hey, whenever you want, stop printing". Printers have a lot of memory, spoolers have even more (you know, being a program running in the background on your computer). I don't want to wait while the printer prints out half a page of a color picture. Maybe there's a utility out there called PrintNuke or something. A utility that does something silly like...purge the print job, reset the spooler and send a reset to the printer.
Another thing I don't like about the whole (current) cancel print job concept is that quite frankly, it doesn't work right when it does work like it's supposed to. Sometimes due to some goofy miscommunication somewhere...it somehow gets the communication between the computer and the printer out of sync. After that, the bitmap it sends to the printer gets printed out as if it was a stream of old fashioned text. Do you have any idea how many pages a 1200 DPI image would work out to when every byte sent converts into a character? Thankfully I'll never find out directly...I always reset the printer (and usually the computer too) and even if I didn't...your average printer doesn't have a paper tray that holds 10000 sheets or gallon sized ink cartriges. Anyway, to those responsible for these issues...here's hoping you (in the imortal words of Sam Kennison) "slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood."

Exercise: Well, I've since found that I hadn't gone as far as I thought in that previous post. That first day with otis was about 6 miles total. The next day was the afore mentioned 10. Another day I thought I'd managed to get to the end of the trail...it came out by some school track...total trip about 12 miles. FINALLY I think I've managed to hit the end though...round trip of 14 miles. Haven't been over 8 miles in a day since :)
...anyway, it's starting to get cooler so I probably won't be jogging much longer. Jogging in cool air makes you feel like crap.

Munchies: I've had the munchies lately. I'm thinking it has SOMETHING to do with the fact that I've been averaging about 7 miles a day for the last week and a half :) And...it's not like scrapping the diet on days when I've burned 1000-1800 calories exercising is really going to hurt anything. BTW, takes about a pint of ice cream or close to a quart of frozen yogurt to replace 1800 calories.

Supplements: Been taking a few of the more well documented supplements. Vitamins obviously, flax seed oil (your body uses it to make Omega-3 oil...or NOT if it doesn't need it), glucosamine, condroitin and MSM...and half an aspirin.

Mad libs: Been thinking about doing a sort of mad-libs sort of thing...but it's proving more difficult than I thought. Hopefully I'll make some head-way soon. If not, that's life.

Rashashana: And I just noticed that the misc jewish holiday banner logo is being displayed. A little investigation reveals that it's Rashashana. No...I don't remember all the dates I programmed the script to deal with. That was the whole point in writing the script...so I wouldn't have to remember! Since it's likely that you won't be reading this while the logo is displaying, you can go see the logo (and others) here.
