Ramblings of a geek with a few hobbies…
A few weeks ago I had a little grilling mishap – several hours after eating the deck was glowing. A small piece of charcoal had fallen out out of the bottom of the grill, bounced off the ash pan, and proceeded to smolder this hole all the way through the deck.
Last night I replaced these two boards. I guess I’ll start closing the bottom of the grill from now on!
At work this morning we came across Adobe’s accidental moratorium on Trial Downloads:
Wow, pretty drastic. The FAQ reads:
During the month of June 2008, certain product trials that are launched for the first time (regardless of when they were installed) will function for only one day instead of 30 days, due to an error in a line of code that counts down the remaining days in a trial
We were wondering how quickly that guy got fired 🙂 My money is on it being an intern’s fault…
Did someone forget to renew the domain? Bueller? Bueller?

Fedex stopped by my house this morning and dropped off 2 very large boxes and 2 small but heavy boxes, all with my name and address on them. Hmmm, I didn’t order anything….
I opened them up and discovered two 3000VA, rack-mountable battery backups along with 110lbs of batteries for them. Neat!
I called up the company, which I had purchased from almost a year to the day, and let them know that someone was probably missing a shipment. They thanked me and let me know that it was destined for an Eric Johnson in Utah. Kinda scary their shipping system just matched on name, I wonder who else is getting free toys but not telling anyone about them?
I had to drag the boxes back out to my porch, Fedex is supposed to be by to pick them back up. They had better be quick or they’ll be covered in snow.
