Stuck with a PIN 03/06/2004 02:08 AM
"Ah, yes. I had had the same brain system failure that Chris described - staring at the ATM and just not remembering that PIN! So now I write the PIN number on the back of each card, in the signature box. WAIT! No, I don't write the actual PIN. I use one 'formula' for all cards. For example, a formula could be to add 3333 to the actual numbers of your PIN. The new TOTAL is then written on the card. If this was your formula, you only have to subtract 3333 from the PIN written on the back of any card, and you will have the actual PIN for that card. Now, does anybody remember where I left my wallet?" (A. John Gallant)...

getting stuck in salami and beer 12/19/2004 03:48 PM

I watched My Coolest Years: The Geeks with Anne and the kids last night. I thought the show was fantastic, and I was honored to be in such great company. Open note to The Cool Guy who tormented Jessi Klein or the girls from The Donnas: Dude, wherever you are, you are a loser.

Biggest surprise of the show: John Tesh is hellafunny! I remember that he played a Klingon for a day on Next Generation in the episode "The Icarus Factor." Well, "played a Klingon" is probably a little too much . . . he was sort of a featured extra in a line of about twenty guys who wore Klingon makeup and costumes, and snarled while they zapped Worf with painsticks. (Back then, a metric ton of celebrities wanted to be on the show, and they usually ended up wearing crazy alien make-up. Mick Fleetwood was this weird fish-looking thing, for example.)

I remember that he was really friendly, and seemed to be getting a HUGE kick out of the whole thing, but I don't remember him being as funny as he was on My Coolest Years last night.

Best moment of the show: When I saw that they titled me "Wil Wheaton: Author of Just A Geek" (which reminds me: Just A Geek has been recommended by Quint, from Ain't It Cool News! I am in incredibly good company over there, too. Thanks, Quint!) instead of That Other Thing.

That's a big deal to me, you know. Though I personally feel that I'm finally emerging from the shadow of America's Favorite Acting Ensign And Starfleet Academy Classmate Killing Cadet, I wonder if I'll ever do that in the eyes of the entertainment industry. This morning's Dork Tower gives a funny-because-it's-true view of how that effort is playing out in fandom.

. . . and in casting too, now that I really think about it . . . but that's okay. The Path I'm currently wandering is a good one.

Absolute coolest moment in the show: They put up a picture of me with my überhot wife as part of the "Geeks Ultimately Win, So Bite It, You Cool Kids" portion of the show. Ryan just about died when he saw Anne, in the coolest "I'm fifteen and I'm so proud of my mom" way. (Apparently, the kids on his baseball team tried to torment him by singing "Ryan's mom has got it goin' on" to the tune of "Stacey's Mom," and he silenced them by replying, "Yeah. My mom's hot. So what?" Sweet.)

Tonight, VH1 gives us My Coolest Years: The Dirty Hippies, which should be hilarious. It looks like My Coolest Years could end up being as great as I Love The 80s, or maybe even better. Go Generation X! Rock! Yeah! \m/

If anyone from VH1 reads this: I had a blast, you guys. Thanks for making me look cool. I'd love to work with you some more.

Dude, You're Getting Stuck With Spyware

Dude, You're Getting Stuck With Spyware 12/03/2003 01:48 AM
Submitted by John and also seen on Slashdot is the fairly insane news that Dell has told its tech support staff not to tell people about spyware removal products like Spybot Search & Destroy or Adaware - even if it's clear that the problems they're experiencing with their Dell machines are due to resource hogging spyware. Dell tech support has been told they're not even allowed to point the user towards potentially helpful resources on how to remove spyware. Dell's reasoning for this is hard to comprehend, but appears to be that removing spyware may go against some license agreements. Isn't that for the end-user who owns the computer to figure out on their own? Besides, if that's really what's causing the problem on the machine, isn't it the responsibility of Dell's tech support to suggest the proper solution? There's also an open letter to Dell asking them to reconsider their position on this matter.

Virus Writers Stuck In A Rut?

Virus Writers Stuck In A Rut? 11/03/2003 12:21 PM
Anti-virus companies love to get people worked up into a lather about all the virus threats out there, because it helps them sell more product. So, it wasn't much of a surprise that, following the "big" virus and trojan horse problems in August, the anti-virus "experts" started warning that this was just a prelude to something worse, and that we should expect even more virus problems as soon as the current viruses died out. While it is good to keep users vigilant about virus things, these announcements served more to make people ignore the real problem: the anti-virus companies failed. Of course, you don't hear them speaking up now about the fact that their original predictions of "the next wave" of viruses immediately following the last wave appears not to have come true. Especially with the SoBig virus, we were told that the next version was supposed to appear in September sometime, but that never happened. Of course, it's good when we don't have virus outbreaks - and I have no doubt that they will come again - but once again we have a situation where the anti-virus folks seemed to hype things up beyond necessary.

Big Foot

Big Foot 02/07/2005 02:09 AM

« On the first night we had Otava, we were walking down the street and saw that someone had drawn a giant paw in the snow on a manhole cover. Perhaps it was a warning to small dog owners that a sasquatch, a.k.a. bigfoot, lives nearby. :) »

You know you've become a neighbourhood legend of sorts when kids you've never seen before come by the dog park on the way home and ask if the adorable furball is named Otava. He's something of a curiosity since there are so few Saints in Finland which is odd when there are so many Bernese [closely related to Saints] and Pulivari, the Saint in Aku Ankka. Some of the older kids, and adults, remember HB and start to ask if I'm the one with the other Saint and realise mid-sentence that they've not seen him for many months. He loves kids and trots up to them almost without exception and licks at their hands. Loud noises, especially the snow trucks and plows, still frighten him but I don't blame him as I'm not very fond of them myself. He has adjusted well enough now that I think it's time to have friends over to meet him finally as everyone wants to see how adorable he is at four months.

His personality is starting to manifest itself already. He's a climber. He cannot get enough of going up and down the hills in the park or diving into the big drifts of snow. The sofa has presented itself as his own personal Mt. Everest which he attempts to conquer each and every evening. Yesterday afternoon, I hid behind the door to the living room, to let him try it just once as he appeared to be looking for something in the cushions whenever he tried to scale Mt. Largesse. Through the crack between the door and the wall, I watched him wriggle his way up to the top, sniff a little, survey his domain and flop down into the cushions while letting out this loud, satisfied sigh. I suppressed the urge to laugh and walked into the room and pulled him off of the sofa. I fully expect that someday, when he's older and has full run of the house, I'll come home to find him on the sofa drinking beer, eating pizza, and surfing for porn on my laptop.

We are also convinced that he was a woodchuck in a former life since his lust for wood and paper of any kind continues; Books, paper towels, tissues, newspapers, trees/saplings and anything else containing trace amounts of wood pulp. He has not as yet figured out that the furniture is loaded with this magical tasty substance. He's housetrained, he knows how to sit, he knows how to come when called, but the cunning doesn't extend to getting the clue that all the furniture is made of wood. Of course, as soon as I utter these words he'll devour the entire dining room table in an afternoon. Well, I've always thought furniture was rather bourgeois anyway.

He is, perhaps, one of the most affectionate and well behaved puppies I've ever known. Aside from the occasional excited barking before meals, his fixation with the sofa and being reluctant to leave the house and/or the park [though he is improving], he's very attentive and happy. I happened to see a beef kidney at the market yesterday when I was out shopping and bought it since it was only a euro. I chopped it up, cooked it with some carrots and rice and gave him a bit of it with his dinner. I don't know that I've seen such a happy and contented puppy give such a look of utter love and devotion before. I think that he has decided to keep us. :)
