Atkins for Life
Kelly came home with a copy of Atkins for Life the other night and I’ve started flipping through it. I’ll definitely read it from cover to cover at some point, but it’s written as a reference manual to help configure a lifestyle change to maintain weight that’s already been lost. It is possible to start […]
Brownouts suck.
So all of the UPS boxes in my office were firing randomly all night. Plugging a voltmeter into the outlet revealed consistent drops under 112 VAC every minute or two so I called Mass Electric to report the problem. After blaming my internal wiring the incredibly chipper CSR agreed to dispatch a tech. A few […]
Tanita BF-662-S Scale
Since our aging analog scale has been getting more and more flakey lately with fluctuations of up to four or five pounds I’ve decided to bite the bullet and order a Tanita BF-662-S digital scale with athletic mode and body fat analysis. Tanita has quite a few other scales available, but the BF-662-S seemed like […]
[email protected] has been terminated.
I got responses back from systems administrators at primushost.com and livin4.com. The user account that was being used for the fake Love@AOL Web page has been shut down by livin4.com and the open formmail.pl script that was being used to send the email was terminated by primushost.com. What’s really a shame is that [email protected] sounds […]
More AOL password theft…
I was hit by a spam attack this morning and received around 350 emails over the course of 12 hours. The attacker was [email protected] and he used a Yahoo! bouncer to forward people to a fake Love@AOL page. After deconstructing his email and Web page, I sent analysis to abuse, webmaster and security accounts at […]
The gourmet $4.25 Atkins lunch…
This afternoon I figured I’d troll the frozen foods section for Atkins safe foods. Just about everything out there is either in the 30+ carb range or comes in a bulk sized bag (grilled chicken or fish) that requires a kitchen to prepare. To my surprise, I found some relatively inexpensive items in the seafood […]
People are a bunch of zoomtards!
Why is it that, for the most part, the more expensive a luxury car is the more of an asshole the driver is? For whatever unknown reason the town of Methuen, MA decided to shorten the green time on one of its primary lights to an excruciating five seconds. This, of course, caused traffic to […]
Ignore your weight, watch your weight trend!
One of the most discouraging things about keeping track of my weight is seeing that I’m on a plateau that seems impossible to get past. It seems especially difficult if the plateau lasts more than three or four days…it’s very easy to fall into the rut of thinking “what’s the use, I’ll just have a […]
I’m hopelessly addicted…
It’s official…I’m hopelessly addicted to Poland Spring Sparkling Lemon and Sparkling Lime spring water. The fluid flows over the tongue like liquid crack and leaves a crisp burning sensation as it rolls down the throat. The slightly bitter quinine-like aftertaste lasts for a few seconds, and then you crave more. It’s quite odd. I really […]
What is an inert ramble?
According to Google, I seem to be the first person on the Web to use the phrase “inert ramblings“. I guess that makes me a pioneer (a pioneer of what, I’m not quite sure). Regardless, inert ramblings are defined as the inability to move about aimlessly or the inability to talk or write in a […]
