Giddy Up Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
I'm not sure I remember the last time this song came on my mp3 sequence, but I do get a silly kick out of it whenever I do hear it.
Well, Netscape has long been behind and non-compliant, and AOL is giving up development on it. It's sad, because I liked the competition it gave IE in the 90s, but it's only been a thorn in the side of developers in recent years. Perhaps the folks at Mozilla will do a better job of keeping up.
Jump Through Hoops: New Presidential Email System
Under a system deployed on the White House Web site for the first time last week, those who want to send a message to President Bush must now navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports White House policy or differs with it.
The White House says the new e-mail system, at www.whitehouse.gov/webmail, is an effort to be more responsive to the public and offer the administration "real time" access to citizen comments.
Completing a message to the president also requires choosing a subject from the provided list, then entering a full name, organization, address and e-mail address. Once the message is sent, the writer must wait for an automated response to the e-mail address listed, asking whether the addressee intended to send the message. The message is delivered to the White House only after the person using that e-mail address confirms it.
Jimmy Orr, a White House spokesman, described the system as an "enhancement" intended to improve communications. He called it a "work in progress," and advised members of the public who had sensitive or personal matters to bring up with President Bush to use traditional methods of communications, like a letter on paper, a fax or a phone call
Someone from a chicago dial-up posted to an older entry of mine, one from september 2000. I'm wondering which index drew them to the "lower-case n" song. It's pretty cool that folks can mine those past elements.
I used my holy water on a guy that robbed me in the vampire game today (Want to play?), and the guy shrugged it off like it was dandruff! Blast and tarnation!
1 year ago - princess sultanas circle, hug meme, joy machine, angry corn ghosts burn police cars, hydrogen fuel cars, got tested for diabetes (none here!), baseball bat poll, Bush & Women's rights, spooky patent office logo
2 years ago - evil news, arriviste, clochard & myopic, gilligan's lessons, contraception myths, Leisa's 2 months pregnant, zeppelins, tuckin thoughts
3 years ago xanadu, sleep study prep, name meaning
Someone who removed me from their reading list apparently was really worried I'd be mad at them because they weren't reading me anymore. I really don't mind when folks come and go...I'm really callous about it.. if I'm not into what I'm reading (or if I get a signal that they just up and abandoned the log), I remove 'em. I figure they'll understand that's what's going on. If I look in and see that they're posting stuff I want to read later on, I'll add 'em back.
When I add someone, I don't expect them to add me back as a matter of course. The same goes when they delete me... I won't drop them, unless it's a totally privatized journal that I can't read anyhow.
going down my list, it looks like that of the 19 invite codes that I've passed out, 8 have been deleted or abandoned. Not a bad ratio, I think.
This announcement brought to you by...Pepsodent!
My teeth aren't new, but my toothpaste is.
The new Pepsodent, get with it, kids!
New package! New flavor! New formula too!
Means brighter smile for me and you!
You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!
Man, it's a shame animated gifs are so size-crazy. maybe one day, when we all have super-duper-uber bandwidth, it'll be better.
