I have no ambition today. Went to bed early last night only to be woken up with some bizarre violent sickness. Blah. I feel like blah. Not sick this morning though. Just blah exhaustion. Boo.

I’m a roaming cowboy riding all day long,
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
Nights underneath the prairie moon,
I ride along and sing this tune.
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I’ll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I’ll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
I know when night has gone
That a new world’s born at dawn.
I’ll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Van, while they do lose their cruncyness, reheated fries (chips) are better than ice cold ones. As long as you don’t overdo the heating and make them soggy. That would be just yuck.
TEB: While the advances in weather detection and prediction have definitely advanced, is it really any better than just sticking your head out the door?
French Fries can sometimes (rarely sometimes) be rescued from cold-fry hell by sprinkling grated cheese on top and toasting in an oven or toaster oven.
That’s my junk food tip of the day. You are welcome.
M & M’s are also quite nummy after being toasted in a toaster oven.
I’m going back to eating my lifetime supply of Red Vines now.
Watched “A Prairie Home Companion” the other night.
I think I kind of liked it. It was just about odd enough to be consider for a lollapolooza. Could have gone a little more “out there” for me, though.
TEB, I agree. I think I should send for cute men to come to my house and provide services. Isn’t that what you did to get the knob in your backdoor taken care of?
Wha, yeah!, C’mon, yeah, Yeah, c’mon, yeah
Yeah, c’mon, Oh, yeah, ma
Yeah, I’m a back door man, I’m a back door man
The men don’t know, But the little girl understand
Hey, all you people that tryin’ to sleep
I’m out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah
‘Cause I’m a back door man, The men don’t know
But the little girls understand, All right, yeah
You men eat your dinner, Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken, Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
I’m a back door man, wha, The men don’t know
But the little girl understand
Well, I’m a back door man
I’m a back door man
Whoa, baby, I’m a back door man
The men don’t know
But the little girls understand
Cj: Excellent resilience in your calcium structural lattice! Podiatry has merely been an overpriced annoyance, then? Or did they use their scribal talents to emboss their medicational recommendations for your reduction of discomfort?
Lejon – nothing has been done for me other than reassurance. I figure we pay hundreds of dollars monthly for that doctor to smile at me and tell me I’ll be OK, I may as well take advantage of him now and then.
Van and Cj, I have a I-pod touch question. I’m currently on my touch. When I refresh this page it always seems to default back to the top of he page, meaning I have to constantly work my little thumbs to see the new comments at the bottom of true page. Is here a way to have it refresh to he bottom of the page like on the computer?
T.E.B: It may be the browser. I’ve noticed that when I refresh on my work PC using Firefox, the refresh kicks the screen to Home position, then back down to where I was. I haven’t attempted it on IE, yet, but you’ll probably either have to get an app that will kick you to the “end” of the page (assuming it doesn’t already have an “end” key or something – sorry, don’t have ipod), or keep using your little thumbs
The best way I found is simply type a comment. It will post and show your comment at the bottom, so no thumb workout. So, here’s to pointless comments.
I don’t use Safari on my computer. I use firefox. Besides, even syncing, it would only take me to the last spot I was on the computer, I would still have to do some thumb action when using the touce exclusively.
Do you have a web page that you visit all the time? You could set up that page as a bookmark in iPhone 3G’s Safari browser, but there’s an even faster way to access the page: add it to the Home screen as a Web Clip icon. A Web Clip is a link to a page that preserves the page’s scroll position and zoom level. For example, suppose a page has a form at the bottom. To use that form, you have to navigate to the page, scroll down to the bottom, and then zoom in to the form to see it better. However, you can perform all three actions — navigate, scroll, and zoom — automatically with a Web Clip. Follow these steps to save a page as a Web Clip icon on the Home screen:
Use your iPhone 3G’s Safari browser to navigate to the page you want to save.
Scroll to the portion of the page you want to see.
Zoom in on the page until you can comfortably read the text.
Press + at the bottom of the screen. iPhone 3G presents you with a list of options.
Tap Add to Home Screen. iPhone 3G prompts you to edit the Web Clip name.
Edit the name, as needed. Names up to about 10-14 characters will display on the Home screen without being broken. (The fewer uppercase letters you use, the longer the name can be.) For longer names, iPhone 3G displays the first few and last few characters (depending on the locations of spaces in the name), separated by an ellipsis (…). For example, if the name is My Home Page, it appears in the Home screen as My Ho…Page
iPhone 3G adds the Web Clip to the Home screen and displays the Home screen.
There were actually a couple counties here that wanted to combine and rename as “Lake Wobegon County,” although I’m pretty sure it was mostly about combining the counties and the rename helped get that effort a lot more publicity.
Well commenting from the Pre is much more effective than from my old “dumb” phone. Scrollingthrough 400 comments took about ten scrolls to get to the bottom.
I might be in the market for a refurbe 32GB touch at some point to replace my HD based ipod.
Are we talking the Prairie Home Companion book? Or the Lindsay Lohan movie? Or are we just telling everyone to listen to Garrison Keiller’s bits on NPR?
So in another attempt to remove that fucking screw using my brotherinlaws tools, crushed one of the wifi aerial connectors, managed to prize it up and blutack the aerial back in, but wifi connection is a bit unstable.
Been to the flicks, saw the Hangover, I smiled from time to time.
Good Morning, Pan.
I have no ambition today. Went to bed early last night only to be woken up with some bizarre violent sickness. Blah. I feel like blah. Not sick this morning though. Just blah exhaustion. Boo.
Hope you are all having great days! :)
Sorry you feel yucky Cj. Be better quick.
Rona didn’t have what I wanted, had to go to Home Depot – blech.
Hey Bunny, sorry for the lack of email. I actaully wasn’t around any computers from 5:30-ish on…. I will send the email today.
Are we in for a day of tumbleweeds?
Feel better, Cj!

Is that comic strip even still being made?
Damn, WP didn’t like me posting the lyrics to Tumbling tumble weeds.
How about just the chorus?
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I’ll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
That worked. I wonder what I did wrong last time. Hmmmm.
Thanks Bunny and Jack.
I picture the tumbleweeds blowing around and hear that old west whistle as they fly by leaving dust in their wake.
Ew. The fake cold just kicked in. I better turn it off and wake up the husband.
Apparently not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbleweeds_(comic_strip)
I somehow don’t remember Tumbleweeds in the Sunday comics. Maybe the Star-Ledger never carried it.
Bunny’s full Tumbleweeds lyrics are free.
Yehaaa!
Thanks. As for any e-mail I’ll be out tonight until about eight (my time, seven yours) anyway.
Must kick some butt :)
I see what went wrong with my original post. Copied everything, not just the lyrics. Silly me. :oops:
Now, I’m thinking Arby’s.
Back in a bit.
Get well soon Cj.
TEB kicking butt…must resist using the S word.
CAT: Flight Control
Grrrrrrrr.
Ack! My fries are ice cold. What’s that about. Good thing I’m at home. Can you say microwave?
TEB: Yes, yes I can.
Well #, that’s more that the people at my local Arby’s seem able to do ;)
News on our kitten front: White, with the occasional Black and Brown stripes
Only occasional? What does it have the rest of the time?
If ever there was a list of crimes against cookery, reheating chips would be near the top.
I now visions of Lejon spraypainting his kitten.
+have
Van, while they do lose their cruncyness, reheated fries (chips) are better than ice cold ones. As long as you don’t overdo the heating and make them soggy. That would be just yuck.
Weather person says to expect thunder showers tonight. Good, we need the rain.
TEB: While the advances in weather detection and prediction have definitely advanced, is it really any better than just sticking your head out the door?
We had our rain this morning. My sinuses are finally clear now!
Yeah but sticking my head outside the door now, isn’t going to tell me what the weather will be like in 8 hours time.
Van’s right. I want to know if I’ll need a coat when coming home this evening, not when I leave.
TEB: well, that may be a good idea… I keep forgetting that other people live in places that aren’t rain-free 355 days a year. My bad.

It suddenly occurs to me why I might have this tummy ache.
Lejon, that video was awesome! I’m still laughing!
Your culinary descriptions are giving me a tummy ache ;)
Watched “A Prairie Home Companion” the other night.
I think I kind of liked it. It was just about odd enough to be consider for a lollapolooza. Could have gone a little more “out there” for me, though.
“Megaforce” was painful to watch as a kid, let alone as an adult. Does this make it good Palooza material?

Great Cj. But does the news make it hurt less? I think you should act like it’s falling off and see how much you can get others to do for you :)
Congratulations on the none broken boneness.

My iTunes password has ceased to function properly, therefore, I cannot download Peggle on my iPod. This is annoying me no end!

When I refresh this page it always seems to default back to the top of he page, meaning I have to constantly work my little thumbs to see the new comments at the bottom of true page. Is here a way to have it refresh to he bottom of the page like on the computer?
CP: Working at Perfekt — Geddy Lee
I’ve never found a way to do that TEB.
Wow. Looking at my last post, I see I have to work on my thumb action as far as letter pressing go :)
T.E.B: It may be the browser. I’ve noticed that when I refresh on my work PC using Firefox, the refresh kicks the screen to Home position, then back down to where I was. I haven’t attempted it on IE, yet, but you’ll probably either have to get an app that will kick you to the “end” of the page (assuming it doesn’t already have an “end” key or something – sorry, don’t have ipod), or keep using your little thumbs
Looks like they might be a kludge way using bookmarks, but looks like you need Safari installed on the computer you sync to:
http://www.firozansari.com/2008/04/03/iphone-scroll-bottom-bookmarklet/
I’m assuming that the iTouch uses a built-in Safari browser. It may be the default behavior for Safari.
Van: good job!
I wasn’t aware you could sync bookmarks to the iPhone..doh!
The best way I found is simply type a comment. It will post and show your comment at the bottom, so no thumb workout. So, here’s to pointless comments.
T.E.B.: You’re never pointless to me. Not since that first time you responded to me seeing local bunnies bounding on the Ides of May.
Well it will boost the nipple count.
I don’t use Safari on my computer. I use firefox. Besides, even syncing, it would only take me to the last spot I was on the computer, I would still have to do some thumb action when using the touce exclusively.
Thumb action always boosts the nipple count.
Beware the ides of bunnies?
I’m home sick yet again. I went to the Dr. today. Diagnosis – double ear infections and a sinus infection. So THAT is why I feel so crappy!
Nuclear antibiotics? Check.
Well in the spirit of pointless posting, I mostly use Chrome these days, falling back to Firefox from time to time (I like the no script addon).
Sounds nasty Essbee.
I don’t know, EssBee. I don’t think thumb action boosts the count so much as the hardness :oops:
Yuck, EssBee.
The Ides of Bunnies is a curious thing –
They hop and bound and jump and sing.
Ne’er-do-wells can all but know
how the Ides of Bunnies ebb and flow.
We’ll sing the tale of Hares a plenty
how rabbits swing the Bunnies’ booty
We’ll crack the warren on the lawn
for the Ides of Bunnies parties on!
Insert pointless comment here
LeJon said “crack”
T.E.B.: I know. it could have been better, but I had to post something now, or I’d forget.
I have a memory much like a galvanized-steel colander. It holds big things pretty well, but little shit pours right out.

Wolf, you give a GREAT interview! If I was the guy interviewing you, I’d have done my research, but YOU were great!
Yet one more pointless comment
Okay, nicked from a tips webpage:
#6 — Put a Web Page on the Home Screen

iPhone 3G adds the Web Clip to the Home screen and displays the Home screen.
It works, but it means you will have to do this procedure for every new show and unshow.
Moved to my computer.
Thanks for the tip, Van will have to try it out.
Ah it doesn’t work, it just goes back to the last position.
Bugger.
Well, Panites. Time for an early dinner, then must go beat people up.
Later!
..and now for a really pointless comment.
I’m top at Flight Control in my local area.
Woot!
It won’t last long.
I don’t want to get BBC America just for this….but I’m SO tempted
http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2009/06/16/new-photo-reveals-doctor-who-spoilers/
Heading home from work. May all the little Panites rest well until we nipple again.
Oh shit, I’m a butterhead.
The Tomtom Club haven’t aged well..but then who does..
My thumbs always get a workout if I’m out and about and there is free wifi.
Feel better EssBee!
Green Onions used in a frozen fish ad..
Butterhead?
Better not hold my breath, today I ate too much, night pan.
Thanks TEB!!!!
“Thumbs” is the dirty word of the day.
Hope you’re feeling better, EssBee. Ear infections suck. Both my kids are authorities on that one.
Morning Pan. 3.0 day today for users of a certain phone.
Oh and ipod Touch users with some cash in their pockets.
Morning Pan. I’ve been getting a fair amount of entertainment from Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show of late, though I’ve caught up with the current ep by now.
Meanwhile, decent rain finally, but I bet the drought isn’t over yet…
I’d be up for Prairie Home as a palooza. I’ve got some Minnesotan in me, btw.
There were actually a couple counties here that wanted to combine and rename as “Lake Wobegon County,” although I’m pretty sure it was mostly about combining the counties and the rename helped get that effort a lot more publicity.
So been enjoying walking in the rain again.
Getting dried out in a coffee shop.
Van, a hopeless romantic.
Who knew?
Been holding out on buying an iTouch until 3.0
Not sure when that will happen in the states.
JB – Maybe there is a little Minnesota in all of us. ;)
Ahh Shucks EssBee… Thank you.
It’s been estimated to be between noon and 2pm whatever timezone new York is in.
‘hopeless’ is the operative word.
Walking in the rain sounds beautiful right now. I wanna go where Van is.
Have a look on Engadget jj, it’s mentioned on there.

I might be in the market for a refurbe 32GB touch at some point to replace my HD based ipod.
I’m still waiting for the iTouch/iPhone to get enough memory for me to replace my 80GB iPod.
I have a 60GB hard drive based one now, but I’ve got it right about half full. So, I could comfortably live with a 32.
My wife, on the other hand, could stand a 160GB unit.

The Boze was here this morning! Seems like it had been awhile.
Are we talking the Prairie Home Companion book? Or the Lindsay Lohan movie? Or are we just telling everyone to listen to Garrison Keiller’s bits on NPR?
Googling “Prairie Home Companion” – not familiar (ashamed at my lack of pop culture knowledge)
I was just thinking last night that I hadn’t seen any posts from Mr. Boze in a while.
Let all us iPhone and iTouch users mourn for the 7 apps we’ll never have.
http://dvice.com/archives/2009/06/top-7-apps-youl.php
I currently have a 32gb iTouch, not sure if I’ll ever buy another. Depends on what else comes out.
Good Morning DP! Or, some greeting appropriate for whatever time of day it is where you’re at. Not sure it matters.
HI
I’ve listened to a number of the Lake Woebegone bits, but never a complete show. How accessible is this?
We should do an episode of Deadpan like that. “A Deadpan Home Companion”. ;)
LOL jOe.
I just came home sick. AFter all, what has Evil, Inc. done for me lately? Why sit there miserable? I must have a year of sick time accrued.
Cough, cough.
EssBee – Feel better!
Afternoon Pan!
Done moving my office. Whew!
Now for some food
Ten bucks for the i-touch up date! That’s highway robbery. Oh well, I guess they know people like me will get it anyway.
I have the old iTouch and it does everything I want. Is it wrong that I don’t care about upgrading it not even one little bit?
Not wrong, Cj. Everybody has their own needs and wants to fulfill.
Apple: Proving once again that it’s not about being the best, but how much money they can soak you for.
More thunder. Seems to be an afternoon trend lately.
It looked a little like it might rain today, but it’s passed. Too bad. I would love a rainy day.
We are seriously low on our precipitation levels for June. They are already speaking of sprinkler bans for the summer.
Whoa. Sprinkler bans? We get Fireplace Bans… I forget what they call them here. I think “no burn days” or something like that.
So in another attempt to remove that fucking screw using my brotherinlaws tools, crushed one of the wifi aerial connectors, managed to prize it up and blutack the aerial back in, but wifi connection is a bit unstable.
screw is still in.
I feel like I’m in a Pink Panther episode.
-up +open
I’ll destroy the laptop and that bloody screw will still be there.
Cj: We also have fire pit bans in place. Especially now with it being so dry.
Van, am I evil is I’m smiling at your description of your computer antics?
:evil:
