ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) — A man who ran naked through his neighborhood to persuade his girlfriend to marry him got more than he bargained for when he was chased and shot at, police said.

The couple were discussing marriage early Wednesday when the woman said she wasn’t sure if she was ready, according to Ann Arbor police reports.

Bad programmer, bad!

The dialog above is from Parallels rc2. I was about to delete a duplicate disk image that was slated for a Vista install. However, the Parallels bios doesn’t support the fancy stuff Vista neeeds to run, so no go.

Anyway, I was a click away from hitting ‘Finish’, when my eye caught the bottom checkbox. The virtual machine disk image file was in my primary Documents folder. The box was checked by default.

I was mere millliseconds away from permanently dumping about 30gb of fairly important data. I don’t know what error checking is built into the ‘Finish’ function, and I’m not sure how well it obeys the laws of unix permissions, but that’s just way too close for comfort.



Man runs over bikers in road rage

When the news crews come to talk to you about me (and they WILL come, eventually) I don’t want you to tell them I was a quiet loner, nor do I want you to blame it on medications, environment or hereditary traits.

I want you to point them to this post.

I want them to see that it is the idiocy of the world around me that led me to:
a) climb the clock tower
b) strap on the dynamite vest
c) hijack a cruise ship and crash it into Disneyworld

This morning started normally enough…I left home at around 8am, as per usual. My commute to work is about 45 minutes…a nice quiet drive through the country that only sees traffic near the end. It’s a good route that allows me time to contemplate life, the universe and everything. On occasion, I get stuck behind one of the numerous dump trucks or semis that traverse the road, but I can usually find a decent place to pass them or they turn off.

But not today, no. For on this morning, someone decided that it would be a good idea to have a bicycle road race over a 20 mile stretch of fairly busy road that connects the GA mountains to civilization (ie: Interstate 400). This gave me the rare opportunity to profanely question the parentage of the deities of most of the worlds major religions.

Creating and Deploying Outlook Web Access Themes

About Premium and Basic Clients

Outlook Web Access is optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and later. These clients are known as premium clients. Outlook Web Access also provides a basic e-mail experience for other browsers including Internet Explorer 5.01 and Netscape 4.8 and later. Unfortunately, not all basic clients fully support cascading style sheets, so for these clients you will not be able to provide rich theme support.

PS: Xbox Outlook theme. Brilliant.
