FYI... Sitting on Pelican and FB last night. All of a sudden, FF closes and the Win 7 antivirus 2012 pops up. This version is nasty! I had to deal with this a couple of weeks ago on a clients computer and it corrupted files needed for networking. I started to remove it on my laptop and same thing. Network is dead.

This version is the hardest to remove by far.

The work place i was outsourced to, was a chemical plant, 24/7 operation
After a few months i had fixed and preemtive maintenanced everything to the point i was bored out of my skull.

So on sundays i'de go partaaay, then at 5-6 i'de drive to work, punch in the timecard.. head for the server room.. Put the sign up "busy with server maintenance , DO NOT ENTER !!! "


Then i would go behind the last row of racks, where i had a few fluorescant lights unscrewed, full floor plates withou AC holes, an air matrass and a sleeping bag..

I'de sleep till 8h30 ish when the super arrives, go to the restroom to freshen up and then went to report that the server work went smooth, i don't think anybody noticed a thing.

And just after lunch, i'de bugger off "cause i started early"

i NEVER use a hair dryer. NEVER. long hair has been the easiest grooming, by far.

I good friend of mine has had the same flat top haircut since 1950. He has never used shampoo. Just a bar of soap and a towel and he is set.

My calipers are GROSS!

I have a solvent washer, and its still going to take a ton of scrubbing to get all the grime off.

I've had my my hairstyle more or less since I was in kindergarten (now I part it). Lately I have been thinking of going shorter but I take the path of least resistance and just go for a shorter version of my same 'style' (or lack thereof).

I get too warm when the sides start to touch my ears (by then it is significantly longer in the back) and I hate when it starts to get in my eyes too much (especially in wind, it looks rather silly).

i find that my head is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, with long hair. if it is getting in your eyes, it isn't long enough. YMMV.

I don't have a hair style, I wash it, comb it with a salad fork and let it go. I cut it when the wife starts dropping little hints like "You need a haircut"
I used to keep it long

I guess that is it. I could never get past that annoying phase to really long, and I don't think short would be good for me, so therefore I stay with the status quo.
