Awesome Crimes

It is probably a good thing Dews no longer works on the Hill, or this story may be about him.

I'm actually pretty sad I didn't think about this first. I could have completely built myself a sweet rig, and all on taxpayer coin. The computer image you see is not the computer in question, I have yet to see THAT picture, but this is fairly awesome. I love how it's supposed to be the backup server. If that's the backup, I wonder what the main one is like.

Just reminds me that I just update my own rig with 4Gbs of ram, yeah, fuckin phe-nominal now. No more crashing during Frontline and CSS while I sniper folks from crumbled buildings or flying helicopters into communists. Penny Arcade has their own take on this story as well.

Senile Series

I continue now with the latest edition of the Senile Series. Today I will give you to two examples of how completely useless this old bat is.

Example Number One-Her Outlook.
You might think this is about her size limit, not understanding what a PST is, nay I say. It is the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME she needs something from Outlook SHE OPENS A NEW OUTLOOK WINDOW!!! Yes, she has called me complaining that her computer is running slow and has had twelve different Outlook windows open at the same time. I'm not going to go into the twenty other programs she also has running, Outlook is the one she consistently opens again and again when she needs something.

No matter how many times we tell her not to, she continues to do it.

HEAD. DESK.

Example Number Two-Her Bookmarks
Normally bookmarks don't take up too much space, then again I've never seen someone bookmark every page they have ever visited. You think I exaggerate, think again. We ran a very scientific test today, my co-worker and I. We opened an IE window, clicked on bookmarks and just put the mouse on the down arrow. After one minute it was in the middle of the letter E.

No, I did not stutter. It took eight minutes to reach the bottom of her bookmarks. She has more bookmarks then Mr. T has chains or Shawn Kemp has children.

I believe in the almighty words of Dane Cook in Waiting..., "Man I can't wait to quit this job!"
