Why are you stuck running IIS?
I ask myself that every day. Unfortunately for the other 2 people involved it apparently makes more sense to keep writing C# than it does to switch to a non IIS based solution. Personally I think every line of code they write that involves a Microsoft based web solution is just more dirt getting shoveled out of the hole they are digging. But hey none of us will be around when the time comes to climb out of that hole, in the meantime we just have to tolerate working in a hole.

Cisco firewall, cisco switches.

Found my first food allergy today apparently when I eat Vietnamese I break out in hives. (one of the spices I guess)

It is. Have the plumber and remediation guys here right now. Not too bad and insurance will pay for most of it.

2 months of kendo and it is already starting to drive me crazy how bad/wrong sword swinging animations actually turn out to be in games.

But on the other hand Obi Wan v. Darth suddenly looks much more real!

Bleh, sorry. Remember to watch the crew so things are totally dry before they wall it up again. That includes the studs. Hell, if it's going to be a few days it'll be best if you get the drywall off so mold doesn't start. That stuff loves gypsum. But on the other hand Obi Wan v. Darth suddenly looks much more real!  There used to be a blog going in to great detail about this, and how awesome the original trilogy fights were compared to the shit 'swordsmanship' of the new trilogy, which was entirely screen antics.

Obi-wan does spin around pointlessly (and really slowly) at one point, but yeah.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Funny you mention that. I'm re-reading Snow Crash and just read the part where Hiro makes fun of a Kendo trained "swordsman" in the Metaverse by cutting him to pieces.

I'm giving up Google. I have to. It's become like some sort of super powerful entity and it scares me. It keeps asking me questions like "Do you want to use Google Check-out?", "Have you tried iGoogle?", "Would you like to download Google Chrome?", "Do you swear your allegiance to Google God and swear to serve and protect it?" It's really getting creepy. I need a new search engine that doesn't try and boss me around.

You'll probably have to Google how to do that. And don't many of the others just skate on Google's search coattails, like Bing?

At least it asks, my last android update came with the warning that sprint will be monitoring my wifi usage to help improve customer experience. Since then my wifi is randomly turning itself on and informing me there are open wifi networks available, I'm not sure what mysterious data they are going to be able to track that they are not already getting via the 3g/4g connection. Maybe it is just a hint that says hey we don't want you to actually use the data plan you are paying for.

Google and everyone else are scary. Saw a story in the elevator saying that Apple stores a voice recording of everything you say to Siri for two years.

I've never spoken to Siri, whoever she is. Anyway, what about something like Dogpile? It googles for you and gives the results minus most of the crap. Allegedly. Or does that sort of thing suck? I've noticed that google doesn't recognise things like quotation marks or minus' or anything like that anymore. This could have been forever, I'm very bad at noticing stuff - sometimes for years. Anyway, have all the search engines stopped recognising those or is it just the Almighty Google? Maybe I'll just go back to Alta Vista.

I found a Galaxy SII today. It's all mine. I think it has a Sprint antenna, though, so I guess I'll use it as a paperweight.

I love that in this day and age, Adobe and several other large software companies still give you estimated download times as: 56k modem, T1 line and "DSL" All of which are listed at least 15x slower than even my shitty cable download speed.

Oh, Florida, will you ever STOP being a cesspool of corporate graft and corruption that goes beyond even the worst of the Chicago Machine but somehow gets a pass? Energy Calculations for a current project have to be completed. pretty standard for building projects. The catch is instead of using the free program the US Energy Department maintains, we have to buy a specialty program from a single source that costs $1,000 PER YEAR.

Why can't people, particularly the dorks to whom it would be relevant, spell the word "rogue" correctly?

You'll let us know though, right? So we can watch. And it's not because I want to scream, "I KNOW HIM!!!", but because the Atlanta Braves are my favourite... umm... sporting association.  You will shine!
