>sig compare

>   The other Joshua Wilcox is attempting to take over my life.  He’s already copied my signature and improved upon it.  So if you see someone who wants to be me, ask about the middle initial.   That’ll get ‘em.

>The Smoking Gun

>It’s been a while since I checked out http://thesmokinggun.com, maybe about the time that Macaulay Culkin was arrested for drugs. I found NY DMV complaints regarding license plates and they cracked me up!

>Preliminary E-Mal post 00000001

>So in the interest of obeying company policy, I am posting via email.  This allows me to still update, pass some time at work on the weekends, not really get in trouble, and keep the site a secret from the powers that be. The man will bring you down! (given a chance, probably) So at any rate, I’ve got another 45 minutes before work is done.  I’ve been doing mostly Cable Modem support all day.  I do the technical stuff really well, it’s the simple things like password resets and anything having to do with specific insurance applications that take…

>Explosion of Fun

>I’ve been very careful as of late. I haven’t written much. I am only half lazy, I admit: I’m also somewhat superstitious. I don’t want to jinx it by saying how great things are going… but here’s the low down. I have a job now. It’s a temp job. There’s no bennefits, 4 days a week, 10 hours a day plus an hour for lunch. It’s really lax, there’s no one breathing down my neck, no one telling me to take my breaks… I’m on my own. I give the customer’s the best service I can, and attempt to treat…

>work has gone well After working 4 days at 11 hours a day I’m quite worn, but a good sleep today was exactly what I needed. Jay came over last night, Nicole and I went to Boston Billiards, played a few games, drank a few conacs, then came back to my place to hang out until the wee hours of the morning. I had this dream about 2 weeks ago. For some reason this kid was terrorizing the neighborhood, trying to get money from people, as it neared Friday he got more peristant, sometimes coming back multiple times a day.…

>Wow. I remember a PC about 3 years ago, it was the size of a paperback book, maybe slightly larger. It had an LCD, all the normal connectors… and I believe it was a PIII 500mhz. It was never released, but wouldn’t you know it… Apple is leading the way in miniaturization. Way to go! It’s relatively cheap too!

>So I don’t think I need to even mention that there wasn’t much interest in my idea for a share of a monster computer. No one wanted to fork over the dough, though I got a lot of questions: What’s the big deal with 64 bit? If I’m using WinXP, what good is 64 bit? How much is this thing going to cost? How good could this thing be? …among others. I chose a few of the bunch. Here’s a small article regarding the bennefits of 64bit and how 64bit Windows is dealing with the old applications (32bit) that everyone’s…

>I am the masses. I now want to research more about Howard Hughes. I was under the impression that the Hercules (“The Spruce Goose”) never actually flew. It got off the ground, not far… but it got off the ground. I suppose some could say that’s a mere technicality, but he certainly helped the industry along. I enjoyed the movie. It gave some insight, and was well directed. Martin Scorsese does it again. Apparently he’s fond of Leo, but he did well, none-the-less.

>Japan Tops US Tsunami Pledge

>Wow… all it takes is someone calling everyone “cheap”. The UN guy said the World’s nations were not giving as much as they should — the US defended their pledge, raised it, now Japan chimes in with 500 million+ I can’t wait to see who else jumps in. Japan ought to focus on the alert system. They’ve quite the history with Tsunamis. Odd… and I just started reading Michael Crichton’s new book: State of Fear. It’s all about this stuff. Of course there’s a whole conspiracy thing going on too… ** posted backentry: 12/26/04 **
