Nice, Notepad, and Cockies

Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2007 - 12:53 a.m.

I got all turned around last night when I was using my Note Pad.

There are two ways to go back through all the pages. One of them, on the bottom right, is the set of controls that just simply goes back a page at a time when you click on the left pointing arrow.

The other set, over on the bottom left, has a plus and a minus sign. Those are the ones you use when you want to add and subtract pages, meaning erase them completely or add blanks.

So, after I had 'turned' about a dozen pages looking for a particular thing I was looking for, that's when I realized I had actually 'erased' them instead.

Fucky fuck.

Luckily the stuff there was things I'd gleaned from email from about a week, so I was able to check my old incoming mail, and I found everything again.

But still.

By way of one of the Usenet Newsgroups, I discovered the site A Tale Of Two Cockies, which is a pictorial essay about a pair of cockatoos.

Yeah, yeah, it sounds ho-hum, but wait until you see the photographs.

Isaiah Washington has offered a very penitent sounding set of phrases to the gay and lesbian community for his use of a derogatory term during the Golden Globes news conference.

It's just a name, after all. And within the gay community, people call one another 'faggot' as a way of re-owning the term. Nevertheless, there's a time and a place for the use of such terms, even 'in house', as there seems to be unspoken rules as to who is allowed to use such words and who is not.

But still, it was very nice of that nigger to apologize.

:-P

Have a Wednesday. And if I offended you, get over yourself.
