and

Win SCP
i can actually calculate the size of folders on my server so that I can more efficiently do some housecleaning of old files taking up space.

Where have I been? I’ve just been SO busy.

Anyway, here’s a scary article:

I finally got my grubby paws on some Pumpkin Spice flavored Coffee Mate about two days ago. I had mentioned previously that I put in a special order (at my local grocery store [Publix]) but when it came in all they did was call me to let me know it had arrived, i.e. they did not set any aside for me- I guess because it’s refrigerated.

I was just saying to somebody via email that I did recently see some of the other holiday flavors in powder form (Gingerbread, I think) as well as the refrigerated form, so be sure to check both aisles when you are shopping. Also, since there is a powdered form of some of the holiday flavors, maybe you can find it online somewhere.

I just saw this link:

… and this link will ship the powdered gingerbread, but I don’t see the pumpkin:

By the way, the Gingerbread flavor is absolutely fantastic!!

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a LONG time.

Seeing as how I’ve stared at similar displays for ten years running laser light shows, I find this HILLARIOUS! As I said to a former co-worker, do you think this guy works at a planetarium?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pumpkin Spice! New holiday flavor of Coffee Mate! That and Gingerbread (which is really great), egg nog, peppermint mocha, and I forget.

I can’t find the Pumpkin Spice yet, but the Gingerbread is great and I special ordered the Pumpkin Spice. By the way, it’s by the milk, refrigerated, not the coffee isle.

Oh my god, check out the PUMPKIN COMPUTER!!!!!

You know me and my pink electronics. Well today I found out that they are gonna come out w/ a Pink Razr! I never “got” what the BFD was w/ the razr, but ANYTHING in pink peaks my interest, and also, it’s a better camera phone than I have, and since I moblog my life, that’d be great.

“Young Singers Spread Racist Hate
Duo Considered the Olsen Twins of the White Nationalist Movement.
They may remind you of another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate…

I LOVE my Senseo coffee maker. I noticed they mentioned it on the Starbucks Gossip Blog. I love how the machine is ready before my coffee mug is prepped (with sugar, etc.) and the coffee is in the mug in less than 30 seconds!

How to use Picassa to email photos to flickr via gmail: link.

The thing is when I use the Flickr Uploadr, I can add tags but not a description. And by the time I can get to the flickr page, click on it, add a description, 4 or so people have already looked at the photo without seeing a description. Sometimes the description is important, as in this photo because it has links to charities.

So, emailing photos via Picassa is a pretty neat way to do it.

I like to do this once in a while.

My favorite sites & tech things:

“These are a few of my favorite techie things…”

* Cobain Backup because you can do LIVE BACKUPS as an option (i.e. you don’t need software to use the backed up files, it’s just like drag-n-drop) and it’s FREE.
* ePrompter (It checks multiple gmail accounts at once and webmail accounts. The more I use it the more I love it. Free!)
* vimeo.com, like flickr, but for video.
* My new pet project, a website for locals. (email me if you’d like the link. I set up drupal, a chat room, a message board, and am writing articles as well as just general blog posts.)
* Moblogging: My Moblog
* My teeny tiny laptop that I got for working on my writing in cafes and places other than home.
* My Sony Clie UX50. It has wifi but also I can surf anywhere by connecting to my cell phone via bluetooth. Then I can surf, chat, email, you name it.
* Podcasts! Especially TWiT, Leo’s KFI tech show, Security Now, Diggnation.
* Digg.com
* Flickr, for the community.
* Fotki.com, for well-organized mass storage of photos.
* Spamex.com. “I GET NO SPAM!” (no seriously, I’m almost totally spam free thanks to spamex.)
* Anonymizer.
* StuffBak.com.
* The EFF, eff.org.
* Linux Lan Parties & BBQs at our house and Linux Meetups.
* Chatting on IM.
* Zone Alarm free firewall. Lean; does not slow the system down.
* Spybot S&D free spyware prevention software. Lean; does not slow the system down.
* AdAware, free spyware protection software. Lean; does not slow the system down.
* AVG Virus Protection. Free and very good anti-virus! Lean; does not slow the system down.
* AbeBooks.com, an online network of used books stores around the world. I’ve gotten used books for a dollar there.
* Trillian, lets me chat on Instant Message on AIM, YIM, MSN, and ICQ all at the same time w/ one piece of software.
* LuLu.com “Free” do-it-yourself publishing.
* Azureus. I couldn’t understand or use BitTorrent proplerly until I started using this.
* iPodder to download podcasts automatically (or iPodderX for mac).

I saw this last night and it really bothered me. I didn’t realize how much until I was talking to M this morning and then I had a dream about it:

media.washingtonpost.com…

“Louisiana resident Nureka Jacobs and her children are turned away from shelter at the Astrodome in Houston after being told that the stadium is for bused-in refugees only.”

How sad after driving all that way! This picture just haunts me, she looks so devistated!
