crazyskillsbloginitiative

“Organising 156,789 feeds” as of Wednesday, August 29 5:45pm EST, millionrss.com includes the crazyskillsbloginitiative.  This isn’t something we asked for, and it probably isn’t the only one we’re on.  It is probably a bot, but we thought it was kinda cool.  

Did you know that Hondas (and Acuras) require a new drain plug gasket at every oil change?  It’s true!  It’s because when the bolt is driven tight, the gasket (a silver washer) actually crushes between the bolt and the oil pan giving a superior seal.

QED

here in crazyskillsland.

blog entries never get posted.  Not because of the software or anything, just because they don’t make the final cut.

told me once there was a curse on our family.

What is that all about?  If I were a religious person, I would be all about the peace and love, not going around trying to scare people into submission.  But hey; it’s how some people are.  And people are people.

“…But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!”
And, you see, no one man owns house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you’re deep into the vibe of house…” -excerpted from My House, Rhythm Controll 1987

When I got home from the shop today, my internet connection was not. I figured all I had to do was get a call in there and they would fix the problem with my connection. The first guy I spoke to insisted that I was a premium home customer, even though a few weeks back we made the switch to business class, for 2 reasons: Higher throughput (up from my perspective) and the almighty static ip. The long and the short of it is this: *name withhelf* after calling the on call guys and striking out there, went into the noc and found a replacement modem and gave me directions to the call center. I then met him and exchanged the old modem for the new, and thus far all is well. Better than well. He left the throughput unrestricted so we in crazyskillsland are getting a solid 15 down and 2 up. It’s great how things work out sometimes.

I wonder if Wordpress (the new bloginitiative software) is MySQL.  It sure feels like it.
