Stuff I'm doing, thinking about, or being stuffy about today.

• Net Stuff: There seems to be some correlation between the gray cable coming out the back of computer and my ability to "surf the net". If it's not connected I don't get very good response time from websites, in fact they have a tendency to time out.
• Stu Savory Stuff: Stu has group tagged all 900 of his readers (don't get a big head Stu they are probably mostly bots). with Haggiswurst's 23/5 meme

  Haggiswurst, a scottish Desk Monkey famed for his accounts of his boss doing a wee jobbie* in Mingelton Town Hall's provost's office, asks me to join his 23/5 meme. It goes thus:-
  

  1. Search your blog archive.
  
  
  2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
  
  
  3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
  
  
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
  
  
  5. Tag five people to do the same.
  
  And this is the fifth sentence from MY 23rd post:
  "My Geek Quiz."
  If you are close enough to read this consider yourself tagged.


• Bloat Stuff: Microsoft waits some time between revisions, while Google just stays beta and releases new stuff whenever. The real trick is the both methods can lead to the same software bloat. Forty seven new features that you don't need while the one you use all the time is discontinued.
