WTF? (wonderful timing folks)

So, to upgrade blogger I must have a Google account? When did that start?? I refuse.
Google is becoming as ubiquitous and annoying as Microsoft and they can both just
bite me. I started using Google in Nov 1998, just about 2 months after they started
and now this. Well, enough o' that; time for a nonsequitur.

Work, the festival of pain that I share with Dogfather, continues to be strange. I will let
him post an eloquent rant, probably on his forthcoming blog o' scorn. Perhaps he will
mention me as Poison Pen Ken -- my new nickname. Apparently, my emails have
quite a following although I have not written one lately (mainly because people stopped
harassing me). I think of these email gems as "satire" the way the old Celtic bards used it,
which is to get rid of irritating presences over whom you have no real power. They are nearly always of the 2 meanings sort, where you must read between the lines. Most of the time, my
unarmed opponents do not get the double meaning and stay confused, but my wonderfully intelligent friends do ;-) It's fun and I don't do it that often - a dangerous game.

Well, my blog has never been what you call popular anyway, so no loss, but I may lose that capacity to comment on my friends blogs - which was the sole reason I started this queep anyway. For that, oh Google juggernaut, I say FO.

Horsey update

Looks like the mare is stuck in brood mare mode fo evah. *sigh* The gelding is all better and baby is just cute as can be.

New cafe opened today at work. Food is, so far, tasty. Dogfather's blog says it all. I also witnessed said philistines...sheesh. Ass-burgers; gloom clouds and everything. I kinda feel sorry for them, but will keep my distance.

We had Security Awareness Week this week, which meant lots of briefings and little work :-D
We saw the DICE Man's briefing - it was pretty good. I think dogfather continues to observe and make notes for his inevitable stand up routine... I particularly like his "Antonio GPS voice" -- ask him for a demo :-)

Well, tonight is "view the comet in the constellation Hercules" night for the wee lad's homework. Normally, the public school horning in on my home time really torques my nuts, but this may be fairly cool to see. We're off to the observatory. Latah.
