I saw this while I was out walking Peaches this morning.

Now I know the economy is bad; people are selling themselves along with their homes.

The Starbucks Barista Digital Italia Espresso Machine is a marvel of coffee technology … when it works. Unfortunately all this technology is easily thwarted when a small plastic tab on the inside of the door breaks. The system then thinks that the door is not closed (when it is) and no coffee is allowed to be made.

Below are the hacks implemented to make the beast function properly. Note though that I did not actually implement the hacks; I merely documented them.

That’s a butter knife stuck inside the door so that the close door sensor knows the door is actually closed.

The end of a broken plastic fork taped (with electrical tape mind you) to the end of the broken door tab.

The things humans will do for coffee.

Oh man, I just had to blog on this:

What a great site; well if you’re a nerd that is, otherwise it is probably just an OK site.

Here are a few choice bits from the Oracle Export Restrictions.

Of course it begs the question; what happens if you don’t check those boxes?

An interesting story from this months Crypto-Gram. Apparently not even the governor of Wisconsin on his super secret Bat Man phone is safe from telemarketers. The story is here.

Today’s Fox Trot is pretty good.

The Oracle of Starbucks will tell you your true personality based on your starbucks drink order. Apparently I’m an asshat because I like capuccinos.

Not only do techs have to worry about having their jobs outsourced to another country; now they have to worry about losing their job to a primate from Primate Programming Inc..

There are all kinds of great direct translations of the German word schwer . My favorite is arduous.

So with this domain name I can create my own custom ErrorDocuments. I found this one over at www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk and thought it was rather fitting for the current times. Note: read it carefully. I also found a nice little script that will spew out random error messages, and funny little notes at www.servererror.net, so I am using that for all the other errors. I’m having a lot of fun with this domain!

I think I have N.A.D.D. . As proof I submit exhibit A: I only got half way through reading the article before I got distracted, ended up at an N.B.L.U.G. board meeting, then three hours after I stopped reading the article I finally finished it.
