Everybody Pooooops! Sommmmmetiiiiiiiimes… (SIC of R.E.M.)

NOTE:  Nursey people (like Liz or Kay), any medical advice you may have is definitely welcome as (like most) I’m an American with no health insurance, and it’s too damned cold now to stand outside the clinic in a line with the homeless and unwed/raped mothers at 7AM with a fever.  And if this grosses anyone out, I’m sorry, but the revenge note at the bottom was fun and the chart gave me a laugh because Type 1 looks like bunny poop! (Also, I THINK Bristol has nothing to do with Bristol Palin… OR DOES IT?)

If you have had a meal at the Wendy’s located here, you may need this helpful chart below.  I have been suffering from my visit last Friday and it has been very painful.  I’ve lost my appetite, and been feverish for 5 days now.

Seems Type 7 is my fate.  I’ll let you know when my kidneys and liver fail (unless my unpaid cell phone dies first!)  HA!

Here’s the message I left on their website:

I ordered a double with cheese, hold the lettuce tomato and onion medium sized meal. (I incorrectly received a double without cheese), and an order of Asian chicken wings.

Upon my return home about an hour or two later I exhibited a high fever. I have had diarrhea for 5 days now. You need to check the cleanliness of your restaurant, the food handlers, or the quality of your food before you kill someone. This is not the first time I have been made ill by this particular Wendy’s. Clean your surfaces or wash your hands.

Listen To Your Computer! You May Save Your Data, Money, and Time!

Found this very interesting article about the sounds made by a failing hard drive. If I had a nickel for the times I have heard most of these (and yes… the Maxtor sounds are the most common. This is why I use Maxtor hard drives as door stops only).

OUCH!

Folks, if you care, it is a good thing to get a quiet moment, press your ear to your computer, reboot, and listen to the drives spin up. It may tell you a lot.

This site contains sound samples of various brands of hard drives in many different states of failure or near failure. Before you test your own computer, check out this site.

And like Todd Rundgren said, “Now, if ya have a pair of headphones ya better get’m out and get’m cranked up, cause they’re really gonna help ya on this one…” The samples on this site are a bit hard to hear on external speakers.

I may even send you a 10 Gig Maxtor hard drive (probably not functioning) if you can make a hit song out of the sounds!  HAHA! (Nobukazu Takemura is ineligible for this contest!)

At the Edge of Our Solar System…

And far enough not to be impacted by our sun’s solar winds…

Voyager 1 is now at the edge of solar system. It is amazing to think that this ship has less computing power then my cell phone, and yet it has seen things and will continue to see things that we can only imagine.

I think that Carl Sagan summed up the Voyager mission best and it makes me happy that even though he is no longer with us, Voyager is…and will be long after we have gone.
