I have a nice big stack of papers that I'll spend all night feeding to my home shredder if I can't find a better way. Is there anyplace near Midtown that has an on-site bulk shredding drop box I can take my stuff to? |

It's snowing in Atlanta. A lot. So far about an inch accumulated so far and still going strong. After, oh, almost five years, this is the most I've seen yet - usually we'll get one or two days of flurries a year, that never actually stick to the ground.
I eagerly await the cries of "lightweight!" from my Northern brethren... |

| RewriteCond triggered by HTTP auth failure? |

Ye Googles are not helping me here...Is there a way to invoke a RewriteCond directive that returns true in the event of an HTTP auth failure? The goal here is to have apache alongside a squid reverse proxy, with apache serving active content directly but issuing 301 redirects to squid for static content (In lieu of renaming all the img src tags to point there directly...). squid is configured to use HTTP auth to access the content from apache; but since the world won't have that auth data, they should receive a 301 instead. So basically, something like this:
<LocationMatch "(match static content)">
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond (If authentication fails)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://proxy.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</LocationMatch> |

Attention  spiggums:
Do you use Beatport? If so, send me some suggestions...
So far I'm digging Cut Copy's remix of The Presets' "Girl And The Sea" and just about everything Rex The Dog has on the site. Ellen Allien is interesting too... |

I'd tell the story of my recent experience with Motorola Customer Support, but it appears that consumerist.com took care of that for me.
(Background: Jen's non-carrier-branded RIZR died, so I sent it to Motorola for a warranty RMA. After six weeks and 10 phone calls it was time to call in the big guns to get it back.) |

So, originally we had hoped to go up to Montreal for my birthday, which is, well, today, but we missed the boat on airfares and wound up settling for the weekend after next, staying Wednesday the 13th to the following Wednesday.
Well, I just saw Skinny Puppy's tour dates:
Montreal - June 6th
Atlanta - June 14th
'Nuff said. |

| Things I miss from DC... |

When I think of the things that I do miss from living in the DC area, I usually don't think of many things until I'm reminded of them. On of those things is Rolling Thunder.
In 2002 or 2003, we were hanging out at the Lucky Bar on Memorial Day weekend. The parade was over, but the bikers were still out in full force looking for a place to hang out. A decent number of them wound up at the table next to ours outside the bar.
Looking over, I see one of them showing his compatriots the head of some sort of Uncle Sam doll. He said that he had noticed it on the side of the road, and was taking it home as a souvenir.
About 30 minutes later, he notices a bike going by with a headless Uncle Sam doll in the back seat, stopped at the corner traffic light.. The guy jumps up, runs out (and given this guy's girth, running is no mean feat), up to the corner, and catches the doll's owner before the green light hits.
Within 10 minutes, the finder of the head and the head's owner are both at the next table over, doing shots together.
I didn't talk to either of them, or anyone else at the table. I wish I had in retrospect. But I realized that there was something about that sort of camaraderie - the idea that a guy you had never met, but stood for the same things that you did, could instantly be, if nothing else, a memorable drinking buddy. I can't say I ever felt anything like that "I am of this tribe" instinct to that extent.
But I'm not gonna get shot at in some pointless war to get to that point, either. My loss. |
