I know Wil Wheaton already linked to this, but I also know that you guys aren’t reading his blog, so I thought I’d share the love. This HOWTO should probably be expanded on in more detail and shared with the people who deserve it, but for now it can still be appreciated by anyone in any technical support position. I especially like the link in the upper-right-most-corner of the page.

The idea of “hypertext”
My little get together/My new iMac
Real quick: So far I have 10-11 people who have told me they are planning on coming to my get together. I’m going to be calling all of them this week to remind them of its pending fun-ness. If you haven’t already talked to me about it and are insterested in joining us, just email me at teel@modernevil.com or call me, if you already know my number. I’ve already given out my address to someone who didn’t have it before, so don’t worry about that.
Also, since my post on the iMac was just as old, an update: It has not yet shipped. I called Apple yesterday and they said that it may not ship for another week or more, even though I ordered it on the first day. I suppose 150,000 orders in three weeks was more than they were expecting. Anyway, it won’t make it to the party unless they ship it out before midnight tonight, so most of you will have to wait until the next get-together to see it. And I’ll have to wait another week. 🙁
Oh well. Going home now. Really.
Inside the weather
So, after eating a hearty lunch, I felt quite a bit better than I had all morning. I’m sure it was also owing to having a relatively calm and restful morning. No problem customers upsetting me. No stress from management. Not even too many calls in queue all morning. Pretty nice, considering.
I still have a mild bodyache, and I still plan on just crashing when I get home, but I think i’ll be able to wake up for dinner later. Maybe.
Also, I guess it’s been raining all day, too. So, if it’s raining now I get to ride home in the rain. If it isn’t raining now, I’ll still get wet and dirty and have to dodge crazy drivers because the roads will still be wet. Either way, I’ll be home soon and in bed, and that’ll be nice. Probably the nicest thing to happen to me all day.
This Week’s Horoscope
This is not my horoscope, but it applies to me better than most of them do:
“This week, you will prove the binomial theorem, posit a rule of gravitation, and develop a new theory of color, only to find that it’s all been done before.”
