So I haven't written anything in a while but I am going to start blogging my "co-worker", lets call him albert. We all use a chat room to communicate through out the day. He has a intersting way of expressing himself. Perhaps someone could decode it for me.
albert: YOOOOOOOOO
albert: I bes here
bossman: albert - you MUST fix that keyboard.
bossman: You keep typing 'am' but it comes out 'bes'
albert: Y ?
albert: I like dis kybd
albert: Peeps act like dis b grammer school
albert: I can see if HHPMTI, Or Yo chhese b in heaya... But..
albert: It just be U jamokes
and later... (after some comments about his farting)
albert: bluerose, FOr one thing, I've been talking like dis b4 you was in existence here. So your arrival here, nor what you say, amount to a drop of monkeypiss to me. Nor have you been around long enough to gain an ounce of respect from me. So, With that said.. "I'ma talk about Farttin, dumpin, and any other politically incorrect thing that comes to my mind." If ya don't like it...U could A.... Piss and moan to Bossman some more... or B. Keep Yo Porktrap shut and like it.
bluerose: Albert, It isn't my job to teach you second grade English or manners. However, there is a certain level of professionalism that is expected. I don't need nor want your respect. If I am forced to communicate with you I ask that you attempt to make yourself clear and speak English. Your bodily functions are not only disgusting but highly inappropriate. |

| The problem with outlook -(according to Izaac) |
[Mar. 21st, 2004|11:52 pm] |
Well, herein lies the rub:
Outlook can't /read/ PST files of greater than 2GB in size, but it sure can write 'em. So there you are, with a perfectly working Outlook and then -- WHAM! -- a new email from your grandmother causes the thing to hang. You reboot, as is your reflex from years of Windows use, and try to open Outlook again. Nothing.
Hangs at the splash screen.
How do you fix it, you ask?
Well, first you run 'scanpst' on it, which will report that it is a perfectly valid and good looking PST file.
It is a PST file that young PST files should look up to. A fine, upstanding PST file.
You then scratch your head and consult the MS website, which will instruct you to download a little tool.
This little tool does something really nice: it truncates the file.
That's all it does. It's even poorly designed, too. I could write something like that in 10 lines of C, probably less.
They, however, put a nice GUI on it which goes backwards: how many megabytes would you like to truncate off the end?", it asks.
So, whip out the calculator and subtract 2048 from the file size in megabytes. Ohh, except that the new index will take more space. So you need to carve off more file -- your email, incidentally, not just empty space; but your most recent email -- to make room for it. How much room? Who knows. So when that's done, you now have a PST file that's somewhat smaller than 2GB; but it's terribly horribly broken. It's like cutting off your finger at the second knuckle because your arm is too long. That's all it does, take an axe to your file. Now it won't open, but you get an error mesage from Outlook .. which you should expect, considering the file is still hemoraghing all over the floor.
Now run scanpst again and repair it.
And again.
And again.
And one more time for good measure, because the thing can't do it all at once, you know. The repairs cause problems themselves.
Basically, keep running it until scanpst declares that it's a fine upstanding PST file again. Then open it in Outlook.
And try to delete or archive that mail as quickly as possible.
You don't actually "open" these files in Outlook. See, the PST file carries
all the non-email crap along with it: contacts, calendar entries, tasks, cake
recepies, income tax exemption itemization, elementary school math grades, the
collected works of Silliam Whakespeare, and the contents of your refrigerator
for good measure.
You have to 'import' it into another, existing mailbox. So you somehow have to
fool outlook into making these files again from scratch. How? Delete them.
Uhh, where does it keep them? Well that's for you to find out, isn't it!?
Usually: "C:\Documents and Settings\joeschmo\Local Settings\Application Data\
Microsoft\Outlook\"
Don't fall for the red herring of the same path without "Local Settings," unless
of course you use NT authentication over the network and keep home directories
in some other equally useless place. Or the moon is full. Or the tide is
coming in. Or some pidgeon is sitting on the sill outside your window laughing
at you.
Now, delete the files there. This will break Outlook horribly. But that's okay, because it will go looking for a new "Personal Folders.pst" to open. But you
can't open the one your repaired, because that's probably sitting on the desktop
or some other place it ought not to be .. because Outlook is too stupid to
remember it's there.
So, you go into the directory. You'd think there'd be a "new" button, but no.
You drill yourself down into the directory until there's nother further to
drill into. You select nothing in the window at all, and then choose "open."
Which will cause the thing to disappear and supposedly everything from that
point is hunky dorey. Except that you have to re-open Outlook again and tell
it that it should choose the file it just itself created, however silently, the
last time.
Then, re-import your mail from your recovered PST file. |

| Happy Ashoura Day |

In case you are wondering what the fuck Ashoura Day is, its when Shiite Muslim men cut their heads with swords during the annual ritual to mark Ashoura Day. This image I believe speaks volumes. How can we even begin to understand and work with a culture that allows these acts, and uses "god" as an excuse for it. I can't imagine being this childs mother and letting him bleed like that. |

I am curious if anyone else feels this way. Why is it that when god is involved it's not ok to say that someone is crazy. I mean the son of sam said his dog spoke to him and told him to kill. How is that any different then Jesus, Mohammad, Buddah, Abraham. They all spoke to "god". Why do we make excuses as if god were more important then the tooth fairy. If you met an adult who believed in the tooth fairy or the easter bunny, you would write them off as crazy. Yet we can somehow make allowance for "blind faith". I don't see why we should as a society have any respect for something that by defintion is insanity, its believing for no reason then belief itself. Isn't the programmer of god, just stuck in an infinite loop, can't we break out of it yet? What if we all started to tell religious freaks that they are crazy, I don't know about you but I don't want anyone running this country that believes in virgin births, or splitting waters or anything that David Blaine could do as some divine miracle. Maybe it's time we let them in on a secret, God didn't create the earth in 7 days and 7 nights. It's a good story with a good moral, but lets not pretend it's any different then cinderella. |
