They have a PlayStation

Maggie and I are attending her school’s variety show.

We’re also exchanging messages when I need to get up and walk around.

Are banana peppers hot?

tcr! tcr! · Dec 20, 2017 at 7:39 am

Mildly hot. Nothing like the hot Danielle was trying to offer Max Cady.

They got more of a spunk to them.

i hadn’t thought of max for a long time. there was a time when he was all i thought of.

Max was a culture icon at one point. SGC may have channeled his charm and wit beyond reason.

Promises by Nero

tcr! · Dec 15, 2017 at 3:16 pm

Peeps, to close out this work week here’s your youll-be-sweet jam for today.

In the here-and-now I like the Skrillex/Nero remix better but I remember hearing the original right when I needed to.

I was never overly impressed by the original’s video. Dystopian futures are old and tired in cinema. I’d rather have seen something much more personal and human given the lyrics. Maybe something along the lines of Kaskade’s Room for Happiness or Meg Myers’ Desire.

Donald Trump Jr doesn’t know who’s running the FCC

tcr! · Dec 15, 2017 at 1:28 pm

Donald Trump Jr suggests people who want to keep net neutrality don't understand it

Donald Trump Jr suggests people who want to keep net neutrality don’t understand it

“I would pay good money to see all those people complaining about Obama’s FCC chairman voting to repeal #netneutrality actually explain it in detail”

I’ve stayed away from Net Neutrality and its repeal by only five FCC members but now that Donald Trump Jr. has weighed in, I can’t stop myself.

Erm, Donald Jr., your dad’s FCC chairman was behind the repeal, not Obama’s. Talk about being out of touch with reality.

I looked around Twitter for his original tweet but haven’t had much luck finding it. I suspect it was shamefully deleted.

BlackBerry and the addition of spell check

tcr! · Dec 15, 2017 at 11:45 am

BlackBerry visitor

Someone visited this site on a BlackBerry not long ago in search of Vermont syrup.

Intrigued as I haven’t seen one of these critters in the logs for literally years. I set about to learn what magic BlackBerry 10 had bestowed upon its dedicated and faithful user base.

I landed on ca.blackberry.com/…/blackberry-10-os and had to do a double take.

BlackBerry and the addition of spell check

With BlackBerry® Blend™ my productivity would be amplified with the addition of spell check!

I poke fun but only because fun needs a little poking here.

I was typing something sarcastic and my phone autocorrected “spell check” to “spell heck”. The productivity amplification may be overrated.

tcr! tcr! · Dec 19, 2017 at 7:01 am

The only reason I can think of as to why they listed that as one of the biggest features is a shared custom dictionary across devices. Then your spell hecks will be with you were ever you go!

keamoose keamoose · Dec 20, 2017 at 12:11 pm

Ooh, ok. I’m curious about the details of how they would implement that. I had to install Google Keyboard on my phone so that I can have multi-language spell checking, because Samsung wanted me to toggle keyboard layouts back and forth to in order to do that. I’m guessing Blackberry wouldn’t handle that either. Point being, it wouldn’t sync properly.

And here’s a weird UI complaint for you: toggling the keyboard layout all the time is a problem because Danish has more letters and therefore the key size and spacing is slightly different from English and if I change back and forth my typing suddenly sucks.

tcr! tcr! · Dec 20, 2017 at 2:29 pm

Those Danish, they got everything. Pastries, extra keyboard keys, LEGOs.

Personally, I’ve only ever installed one extra keyboard for my phone. The infamous Hanx Writer. Because of this:

nytimes.com/…/i-am-tom-i-like-to-type-hear-that

Everything you type on a typewriter sounds grand, the words forming in mini-explosions of SHOOK SHOOK SHOOK. A thank-you note resonates with the same heft as a literary masterpiece.

Unfortunately I had to uninstall it since sounding grand all the time became a smidge annoying.

keamoose keamoose · Dec 20, 2017 at 3:08 pm

That’s amazing. I always at least insist on the clicky kind of computer keyboard, not the quiet, mushy kind. No typing sounds on my phone though. There’s something about digitally-faked typing and mouse clicking sounds that offends my aesthetic sensibilities, although the typewriter one is pretty tempting. As long as it has the extra vowels, Åå Ææ Øø.

keamoose keamoose · Dec 20, 2017 at 3:10 pm

“The S key was a mere nib.” - love it.

tcr! tcr! · Dec 21, 2017 at 9:32 am

I liked the Apple keyboards and their only slight clicky-ness but ya, no sounds on phone keyboard for sure. I don’t want the FCC to hear me typing.

“A worthless toy!” the man yelled.

I only dream of the day when I can say that in context.

A lady just walked by me in the work hallway, carrying a donut and a cup of coffee. I felt like Ennis when he saw Jack Twist pull up in the red and white truck after four years.

Well, maybe that movie scene doesn’t exactly translate. But still. The smell of hot coffee and the sight of chocolate donuts in the morning and every thing else becomes irrelevant.

Cliff McIlvaine bomb shelter location

I’m always disappointed when I overlook the house with the bomb shelter on Prairie Street in St. Charles while driving to work.

I want a bomb shelter.

So apparently it’s a greenhouse and not a bomb shelter. A boy can dream, though.

It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have as much land as Cliff McIlvaine does. I was thinking on the way home from work that I’d have a railroad caboose and a pirate ship to go along with my underground bunker.

There’d be secret underground passageways connecting them all. And at the end of the last tunnel there’d be and extra large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key.

And then I’d have a taxi cab waiting outside the hotel with my very own cheese pizza. And then while eating said cheese pizza and enjoy a cab ride through New York, I’d perfect my Russian accent. Because I’ve been watching too much GLOW on Netflix.

“Russian cat only drink vodka distilled from wells outside Moscow.”

My Russian accent always ends up sounding like a bad Schwarzenegger impression. 😄 😢

It’s hard to tell even from the street as he’s a row of that run the length of Prairie St. and half the 7th St block.

I’ve heard rumors that he’ll do a tour or two if you ask nicely. It’s on my list for 2018.

Jon Gabriel’s USA Today article on Net Neutrality

tcr! · Dec 14, 2017 at 6:25 pm

here I am asking Jon Gabriel for his source

So here I am asking Jon Gabriel for his source for his quote…

the commission will simply require Internet service providers to be transparent about their service offerings

…that was part of his pinned tweet article, End net neutrality. Federal meddling can’t improve the Internet.

He would only offer a link to the FCC press release. Everyone who’s for ending net neutrality hasn’t given one valid reason on how it’s pro-consumers.

I only stumbled upon the article after Ajit Pai retweeted it.

Ajit Pai Retweeted Jon Gabriels nonsense

The “transparency” only means that the ISPs will need to publicly disclose what services they offer. They don’t need to be transparent when throttling Internet traffic or when they’re giving priority to the companies that pay them for access to the fast lanes.

Since Comcast and NBC are one in the same these days, you better believe that Netflix is going to be in the slow lane while NBC’s streaming shows are gonna be in the fast lane. Maybe if Netflix pays up Comcast will give them a speed boost. And is Netflix going to simply absorb this cost? Nah, they’ll pass it on to their customers.

Also, from earlier in Gabriel’s article:

Following decades of exploding Internet growth, the government interjected itself with a barrage of new rules to stop an imaginary threat. As Pai put it, net neutrality “is a solution that won’t work to a problem that simply doesn’t exist.”

This threat isn’t imaginary. Before Net Neutrality was repealed today T-Mobile had carefully been giving partners no-data counts for their services. AT&T was in trouble with the government for giving Dish special treatment on its network. Telecoms are always looking for ways to maximize their profits.

I wonder how much the big telecoms paid Gabriel for his article. 🤔

I also found it disheartening that Apple, Google, etc. were quiet today while the FCC were voting to repeal. They have deep pockets and can afford to pay to get their music streaming. Have you ever heard of Bandcamp? Maybe not, they’re smaller but they pay artists on their site 80-85% of however much people spend. I wonder if they’ll be able to keep going when Verizon smacks them with the throttle bill.

In related new: State attorneys general line up to sue FCC over net neutrality repeal.

I’m still hung up on the “imaginary threat” part, too. Who can forget the early 80s when the government broke up Ma Bell into smaller companies because of anti-trust violations. The telecoms aren’t do-gooders here. They’re cut-throat corporations.

The 8 companies Ma Bell was broken into have been buying each other and now we’re back down to three. One of them, Verizon, just bought Yahoo and AOL to be renamed Oath. How much priority are they gonna give their new Oath baby? As much as they possibly can.

Verizon owns their roads, their trucks, their goods. Websites like tcrbang.com will most likely be stuck in the coming traffic jams.

I’m sure glad that five people from the FCC got to vote on and determine the fate of Net Neutrality. Of course that’s just what Ajit Pai wanted, being the former Associate General Counsel for Verizon and all. His Christmas bonus depended on it.
