Wow, never really looked at Craiglist before. The best of link sure was full of interesting and well thought out items.
I feel old.

Has anyone had luck using Craiglist?
My coworker had luck with it when it came to finding a boat. The people who have left my company recently have all become gainfully employed. This includes the one that found the boat on Craigslist. Also, use of the term "IT employee" is rather vague. I just had to learn very quickly how to individually move physical partitions from one disk to another since the handy "reorgvg" command is, apparently, stupid in deciding how to reorganize a volume group. If anyone wants to know how to use the lmigratepp command, just ask; this is about all I am good for, really. |

I found my last couple of apartments on Craigslist and have been pretty happy with them. And our HR department advertises job openings exclusively on Craigslist nowadays, IIRC, because so many people use it and it's cheap. |

Last year I did all my job hunting on Craig's List exclusively. Was for an IT position and it payed out fairly well.

Random reason I love AIX more than Windows. I performed an OS update, turns out that the machine firmware also needed an update since this is an ancient relic from 1999 and no one has bothered to do it.... Would. Not. Boot.
Once I figured out it just needed a firmware update, I configured the network install server to perform a maintenance-mode boot on this piece of junk. I went into the hardware menus of the junkpile, set it up to boot from the install (NIM) server and let her go. Once it had booted (from nfs images), I imported the rootvg and mounted a nfs from the same install server. From there, I loaded the firmware image and let it reboot.
I did this from home, too. No, I don't really expect any of you to care. I'm tired and hungry with internet access and a twenty-minute boot time.

It doesn't matter if we care. This is Useless Conversation. If people cared, my short play would have won a Tony. |

Today is my coworker friend's birthday so I made her some chai creme brulee (by simmering chai spices in the cream before adding it to the eggs).
I think you guys should all listen to Child of My Kingdom by Arthur Brown right now and share this worktime moment with me.

The Company supplies monthly cake for those who are celebrating their birthmonth. Used to get one cake per floor, but the good old days are over and we just have cake in the lobby now. I don't walk down there for cake. Didn't walk down to see Michael Vick, either. Damn interception-throwing bastard.

A month today will be my birthday. I'm going to a titty bar for the first time. Why? Cause my girlfriend suggested it. This is going to be the best birthday ever.

I can't help but laugh at all of the chicks in strip clubs.
I mean....Literally. In their faces. It's like watching a bad movie, Nix.
The best thing about titty bars is the lounge atmosphere. Not the titties. And for that, you could just go to a lounge instead.
[EDIT] That is no way meant to express my opinion on the virtues of the female form.
Just a statement about bad actors, undeserving of my money or desperation.

You'd be surprised how horribly, horribly wrong something like this can go. Do you have other guy buddies going with you? You live in Toronto, right? Going to the Zanzibar? If so, I would advise Extreme Caution. Be ready to slip out the door, into the restroom, whatever...a little trip to a titty bar can turn into a night of total Un-Fun. |

Yes, I want to know, too. I've never been in a titty bar so I'd really like to know what is so dangerous about it. I guess you could get whacked in the head by a particularly hard blob of silicon or walk into a pole or something. I just don't know!

I went to a titty bar once, for some bachelor party for a guy I barely knew. As such, I was in a position where I felt I could freely 'enjoy' myself, should I chose to. Much to my chagrin, the sheer level of unvarnished hatred spewing from the dancers eyes at every single man there sort of put the kibosh on any appreciation for the feminine form I may have wanted to indulge in. It was a sad, sad place, with the violence of their lives only thinly vieled behind their obvious desperation to earn money.

Every single titty bar I frequented in Amsterdam was chock full of warm, friendly, happy and healthy women. Seriously, there was none of the sleaze, self-hate, hustling nonsense that I regularly hear of (and encountered) in both America and the UK. I think it must be in the attitude - As there they are neither 'forced' into it, nor are they there due to desperation. Indeed, many of them I talked to were putting themselves through some form of education or doing it to keep the kids in clothes.
I found that this attitude certainly helped me to lose ANY sense of shame at what I was essentially doing - ogling semi-naked and totally naked women while getting drunk.
Note, this is not something I do regularly.

Being a musician ruined titty bars for me. Some woman shakes her ass in my face, shows me her titties, and then wants money for it? I just have a mental disconnect with that.

Bah, titty bars are extremely variable. Pre-Katrina, I went to one in New Orleans (this was over a decade ago, holy fuck) where one of the dancers had old razor scars all over her belly. I mean, a shitload. She was pretty otherwise, but the scars were just maddeningly distracting. I took another friend to a local titty bar on his 21st birthday and all but one of the dancers there were fine. They looked to be enjoying themselves, most were damn fine, and getting boobies jiggled against your face as they capture the dollar bill from your teeth is certainly an uplifiting experience. There was one dancer there, however, who looked ready to bury her heel in someone's forehead, but that was probably because her boyfriend was there watching and was bowing up at any guy who showed more than a little interest.

I can't really elaborate, at least here; it would be more appropriate in the torture thread in politics.  |

They are so much more fun when you mentally add, "In bed" to them too. I agree with Rasix and tonight I'm going to make lemon bars only with limes instead, in bed. See! |

The worst thing to happen to me at any of the strip clubs (you can go full nude in ATL) was that I gave too much money to people that did not deserve it. Actual prostitutes are a better value. Not something I do these days.
I always have lots of pointless things to post during the commute. I forget them all while typing here.
