From the Misfiring Neurons of Chris Lim….

because one day out of the blue, a college buddy will send it to you and say, “I’m going to post this on Facebook!”

[shudder]

It was 1 am sometime in 1988. We went to a pool hall that night and walked home. Walking through a park, I had the stupid idea of taking their pictures as they pose with 3 bronze deer statues.

Out of the 8 or so lewd picts, I’m only in one of them…

Of course that’s the one he wants to post. Now to call my other buddies to make sure the other pictures are posted too.

I shouldn’t be president of any country, I definitely believe in MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction).

Thank goodness, I at least have my clothes on…

This year we actually did our taxes online. Completely online.

H&R Block’s Taxcut has TaxCut Premium completely fillable via the web. You don’t pay anything until you file. Only $44.95 which includes e-filing of your Federal and State Taxes.

It took about 1.5 hours as I was naturally had to carefully check the entries. It was quite easy to follow, almost the same as the software version.

So, all electronic and paperless, as I printed the files to a PDF file too.

Now, we just sit back and wait for the check direct deposits.

I was thinking when the first MbA’s showed up that this would happen. You would think that a communicae would be sent throughout the org that laptops are now being shipped without a hard drive.

All I can say is that – At least he now has a hell of a readable blog entry.

Every once in a while I guess Outlook has a hiccup and puts a Red X icon in place of any pasted image. Its probably only in HTML images as RTF emails have the images embedded in the mail.

Here’s how you fix it:

• Launch Outlook
• Open an email with an attachment (like a Word doc)
• In the opened attachment,
  • goto File | Properties
  • in the General tab, copy the Location field
  • its something like C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK39
    
• In Windows goto Start | Run and paste it in
• You’ll get to the folder where Outlook dumps temporary files.
• Exit Outlook
• Delete the content of this folder.
• Open Outlook and voila! its fixed.

Here’s to fairness amongst the races, lower crime rate, ending roughshod lawmaking and rampant nepotism.
