Cold or Flu

1 min read

I have a cold (or maybe the flu), and I'm coughing up a storm. I stayed out in the cold wind, talking to some people in the parking lot, and I'm pretty sure that did me in. I'm taking Oscillo which seems to help with everything but the cough. I'm going to try some kind of nighttime cold medicine and see if can get some sleep.

The .EU landrush fiasco

<1 min read

Bob has a great post on what he calls the .EU landrush fiasco:

What happens when you match an inept registry with crafty businessmen? The answer is a really large scam. This is what is taking place with the "landrush" introduction of the new .EU top level domain name. This breaking story is a fascinating study of both grand manipulation and lax administration on the part of the EURid registry.
On a brighter note, I'm now the proud owner of thauvin.eu.

BlaK is BlaK

I just heard that Herb Weisbaum is going to give Coke BlaK a try on KOMO 4 News later this afternoon.

I tried it over the weekend too, and have to agree with Dan. It does taste like flat coke with a slight coffee aftertaste.

Blast from the Past

I'm listening to Operation Mindcrime II on YME.

I have to admit that Queensrÿche last few albums were quite disappointing. We went to see them live a few years back, and it really seemed like the magic had gone. Needless to say I wasn't expecting much this time around.

It's quite good actually. I don't know if it is as good as the original concept album, but it sure is quite refreshing.
