Pucker Up, Baybee!
Sure… wipe the scoreboard clean after we move to Florida and cut my number of states in half. Hrm… actually more than that considering the couple of times we drove back and forth to Maine… And, dammit, there’s another reason it sucks that my wife can’t go to Gnomedex with me. *pout*
Anywho, go and give Kiss up – the game a look. The power-that-be Michiefgurl came up with the idea. Now get to smoochin’ people!

Calling Occupants Of InterBlogetary Craft
I’m not really that big on audio blogs. In the past when I’ve seen people try it, it’s been for a single post or maybe two. Hi, um, like this is my voice, and I’m like blogging and stuff. Then, too, there’s the storage issue. Audio and video files can gunk up the space available on your host pretty darn quick.
Enter audblog. This new service offers a way for those so inclined to spew their guts into their blogs whenever and wherever they want. Dial a number, speak your piece, and audblog posts it to your blog. The storage is handled at their site. You just give them your username and password. Simplicity.
Right now, it only works with Blogger and only in the U.S., but they plan on expanding this quickly. Go to their site to hear some examples of bloggers speaking their minds.

Carnival of the Vanities #29
This is my second time hosting Silflay Hraka’s Carnival of the Vanities in 2003. I decided to do something different this go ’round: to shut the hell up.
I thought I’d go back to the format original Carnivals and just give you the links and a snippet of the author’s work. No judgements. No snarky comments.
I repeat. I am not being lazy and unimaginative. Enjoy.

Reflect. Repent. Reboot.
My wonderful sister-in-law reminded me of an old (in Internet terms) bit of humor: Haiku Computer Error Messages. Happy Tuesday.
We’d tell you where, but then we’d
have to delete you.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
cannot be located but
endless others exist
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

DEA to the Rescue!
Cableman just pointed me to an article at PC Magazine called Disposable E-Mail Addresses. (Not the DEA you were thinking of, eh?)
DEA’s are a great tool in the anti-spam war. Whenever you need to give out your e-mail address to someone, you use a DEA. The DEA is used to forward mail to your real address. Then, if you start getting spam from that DEA, you just set up your e-mail client to filter out anything coming from it.
There are commercial services out there that provide DEA’s for you, like spamgourmet and sneakemail. But the cool part of the PC Mag article is that you might be able to create your own DEA’s for free.
Many e-mail servers ignore certain characters in addresses and deliver the message anyway. So, for example, if someone tries to send something to solonor+monkey@solonor.com, I will still get it. If I start getting a lot of spam where the TO: field is solonor+monkey@solonor.com, I just filter out anything addressed to that DEA. The only way you’ll know if it will work with your mail server is to try it.
Yeah, baby! Simple and cheap. Just like me.

Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday
I gotta stop blacking out so much. One day, I’m sitting in my comfy chair, not a care in the world. Then, *kapow!* I got two wives to support.
It’s getting hard to keep track of my blogger family… let’s see there’s my biological kids, Whiny and Pepperkat… my adopted daughters, Kat and Theresa… my separated-at-birth sister, Bran… my punch-in-the arm sister, Statia… my cousin, Dania… my concubine, Zuly…
I need a better job.

Gimpy Goodness
I just realized that I hadn’t posted anything today. No excuse for that!
I spent most of today cleaning the pool and uprooting unwanted pine trees. Did I mention that I hate the outdoors? If I could avoid all yardwork and fix-it stuff, I would be a happy camper. I just want Schneider to fix everything for me.
The rest of the day was spent sipping on a coffee at Borders and working on fixing up the Solonor’s Groovy Computer Baseball League site. I got a copy of the GIMP for Windows and have been messing around with it. (Notice Frodo’s new toy?)
I no longer have the “but I don’t have PhotoShop” excuse for not making my own buttons and things. Now, I have to resort to “but GIMP is hard.” Which, of course, it is if you don’t read the frickin’ manual…

Excelsior!
Good morning, citizens. Tune your Bat Radios to Solonor’s Aortal Site of the Week: bigSimon. Our intrepid hero has gotten wind of a new reality show concept that just might work. Yes, it’s Who Wants To Be A Superhero?
Celebrity judges, like Adam West, will judge the pitches of wannabe Batmen and Wonder Women. Then, the finalists will get a “superhero makeover” – putting on their proposed costumes and competing in hero-ish acts.
No, this is not just a strange idea. It’s penciled into the WB schedule for next season.
Thank you, Simon. There is hope for reality TV (and all mankind), after all.
