When I first heard about “Enterprise”, I was really looking forward to it. A show set before the original series? Fantastic! We would see wars with the Klingons and Romulans! We would see how Earth and Vulcan came together, and the birth of the Federation! Surely it would be amazing! I looked at the crew they were giving us, and was impressed. There was so much potential. I thought that this would be the series that brought Star Trek back from the ridiculous “time travel saves the day” plots of Voyager, and returned it to its roots. But I was wrong.

I have to agree. I really enjoyed TNG and, later, DS9. After going to college I got interested in Voyager because a few of my friends were already interested in it, but Enterprise has lost me. Just read the full comment sometime … it fits my story very closely.

I have to agree. There are a few people around here that walk off and literally have the phone turned as loud as possible. Seeing as how this is an IT department, you’d think people would at least take their phone with them.

I decided that I’ve relied too much on Gmail being available 100% of the time. I’m currently in the process of copying all my mail over to my IMAP server. The only problem with this process is that Gmail seems to be limiting the number of emails I can grab over POP3 at any one time to a small pittance (about 100). So far I’ve grabbed about two months of emails (Jul – Aug 2004) which has worked out to about 6,000 individual emails. Unfortunantly, at 100 per session … it is taking a while. I guess it is better than having to ‘forward’ each message manually.

One of my most favorite comics in the world is Get Fuzzy. I saw this cartoon a few weeks ago (check the date stamp on it if you care) and didn’t get around to posting it until now. It’s way too funny.

Next step, rent an apartment and watch the volume triple.

A comment seen on Slashdot today:
The problems with Christianity and D&D are essentially the same: too many people RTFM, but don’t comprehend it.
Great sig!
The good thing about Christianity is that the DM is much, much better. Or at least more consistent.
The bad thing is that He can’t be bought off with a six-pack of Dew and a pizza.
The good thing about D&D is that the DM is usually your friend and will try to make it so you have fun.
The bad thing is that the DM can give you millions of gold pieces, +8 everything and make you king of world or even a god, but you still gotta go to work/class on Monday morning.
