RasterWeb!

You know how people ask you to do something, and it’s a simple task for you, and you do it, and email them back with something like “Done!” or “All set!” and then you get their response, and it’s one of those “Thanks” emails? You know, the kind that usually just says “Thanks!” and nothing else?

I’ve already gotten 4 of those today. I’m on fire! Watch out! I just might help you out, and then you’ll be sending me a “Thanks!” email…

(It could happen…)

I was quite saddened upon hearing the news of Johnny Carson’s passing. He was an early influence on my comedic stylings. As a youth in the 80’s I was very much into Late Night with David Letterman, but I think overall Johnny had a bigger impact on me and how I view television and comedy. He really was the King of Late Night.

In recent years, every now and then when the Tonight Show would come on, I’d say “I miss Johnny” and now I guess we’ll all miss Johnny.

It’s time… Time for me to clean out the old Computer Museum, which means it is time for me to unload the NeXTStation.

I know, it’s sad indeed, but what can I do? I’ve had it for years and never got it up and running very well. It used to work ok, but something went wacky with the OS, and while I do have all the neccessary CD‘s, I do not have a CD-ROM drive to connect to it.

So if you are a NeXT freak looking for a monochrome slab and MegaPixel Display, let me know… Hey, you could be the next TBL!

(I’ve also got what I think is an original “IBM PC” if you want that instead…)

Wow, I’m so proud… my first comment spam!

We just moved over to WordPress recently, and slowly but surely we got a few (legit) comments on a few posts. That is, until today.

We noticed 5 new comments. Hey! We’re really building a community here! Conversing and discussing! Oh, wait, it’s comment spam. Ugh!

WordPress put them into moderation, as it should, so luckily you didn’t have to see them, and it was quick and easy for me to delete them.

Hopefully I’ll soon implement the “nofollow” for new comments coming in just in case a spammy comment slips by. (I have plenty of thoughts on the “nofollow” thingy that I will write up later.)

It’ll be interesting to take part in the War of the Comment Spam, that’s for sure…

Over on 43 Things people write up the things they want to do, things like be happy or relax. I wanted to add some things that I don’t really want to do, but thought doing an experiment in social software was worth trying, so I added get shot in the leg, fall down a flight of steps, and total my car. It’ll be interesting if people say “I’ve reached this goal” for any of those, or better yet people who reply with “I’ve done this” and then mark it as “Worth doing!”

Any takers?
