S. Pedersen i aktion

Man tager — med højre hånds tommel- og pegefinger — følgende:

  • 25 meter installationsrør
  • 150 centimeter klar tape
  • 1 dykpumpe
  • 1 balje
  • 2 stk. CD-holdere i træ
  • 1 affugter
  • 1 lille skruetrækker

Med skruetrækkeren prikkes 6 huller i de sidste 7-8 meter af installationsrøret, som desuden lukkes i enden med lidt af den klare tape. Utilsigtede huller i installationsrøret lukkes med den resterende del.

Baljen placeres i kælderen, dykpumpen placeres i baljen, CD-holderne ved siden af, og affugteren ovenpå. Strøm tilsættes.

Til dykpumpen tilsluttes installationsrøret, som derefter trækkes gennem væggen ud til højbedet.

Resultat: En tør kælder og automatisk havevanding af de tørstige jordbær.

Spam-underholdning

Jeg kører med Akismet her på bloggen, så jeg slipper i store træk for at se spam-kommentarer — de bliver parkeret af Akismet i en speciel folder, og automatisk slettet efter 15 dage hvis jeg ikke gør noget inden.

Indtil videre har den fanget 1.232 stykker spam, og af dem der er ankommet indenfor de sidste par uger er der en del (ufrivilligt?) morsomme imellem. Faktisk så underholdende, at jeg overvejede at godkende dem, men dog fjerne links, der er jo ingen grund til at opfordre til gentagelser… Jeg har dog på fornemmelsen, at Akismet muligvis bruger min kategorisering, så derfor gengiver jeg et par stykker her i stedet (original formattering osv. bibeholdt):

Sarcastic ??Well, aren’t we just a ray of fucking sunshine? Not the brightest crayon in the box now, are we? Don’t bother me. I’m living happily ever after. Do I look like a fucking people person? This isn’t an office. It’s Hell with fluorescent lighting. I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me. You! Off my planet !!Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap! You choose. Practice random acts of intelligence & senseless acts of self-control. I like cats too. Let’s exchange recipes. Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe? Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. Let me show you how the guards used to do it. And your cry-baby whiny-assed opinion would be…? I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a very bad mood for 30 years. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. Do they ever shut up on your planet? I’m just working here till a good fast-food job opens up. I’m trying to imagine you with a personality. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. Stress is when you wake up screaming & you realize you haven’t fallen asleep yet.I can’t remember if I’m the good twin or the evil one. How many times do I have to flush before you go away? I just want revenge. Is that so wrong? I work 40 hours a week to be this poor. Can I trade this job for what’s behind door #2? Too many freaks, not enough circuses. Just smile and say “Yes, Mistress.” Chaos, panic, and disorder – my work here is done. Earth is full. Go home. Is it time for your medication or mine? Aw, did I step on your poor little bitty ego? I plead contemporary insanity. How do I set a laser printer to stun? I’m not tense, just terribly, terribly alert. When I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you.

Are you a crackpot?A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.” The bearer said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house”Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We’re all cracked pots. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You’ve just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them.Blessings to all my crackpot friends.

BoatHere’s one for all of you boat fanatics….A true Story. If, God forbid, she had killed herself, she’d be a shoe-in for the Darwin Award. Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, a blonde new to boating was having a problem.No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t get her brand new 22-ft. Bayliner to perform. It wouldn’t get on a plane at all, and it was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power she applied.After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby marina, hoping that they could tell her what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything was in perfect working order. The engine ran fine, the outdrive went up and down, the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. (Wait for it . . . .)(Remember, this is a true story . . . . .) .Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was THE TRAILER

Æselører

Det kan være temmelig smart, det der nymodens web-halløj. Men det kan altså også få mig til at tabe forbindelsen til virkeligheden en gang imellem.

F.eks. da jeg den anden dag sad og læste dagens udgave af en eller anden avis, mageligt henslængt i hjørnestolen. Der var en interessant udtalelse, som jeg syntes ville passe rigtig godt til et blog-indlæg.

Normalt ville man jo benytte sig af en helt bestemt ting i en sådan situation: Et bogmærke. Altså den slags man finder i en browser, ikke den oprindelige slags.

Men jeg var ikke i en normal situation, jeg befandt mig i den fysiske verden, og der fandtes ikke den slags bogmærker.

Jeg skulle nok have benyttet mig af et æseløre istedet, for jeg har naturligvis glemt hvad og hvor det var jeg læste det interessante…

ODF allerede optaget?

Det viser sig, at en Google-søgning på odf bl.a. resulterer i et såkaldt sponsoreret link:

ODF = Output Document File

Det ser ud til at man måske føler sig trådt over tæerne, men det er der vist ingen grund til. Når man vælger et så generisk navn til sit filformat, må man forvente at der er andre der kommer tæt på.

  • Output? Tja, betyder det så, at det er et lukket format, der ikke kan bruges til input af andre programmer?
  • Document? Hmm, bum-bum, OK, men det gælder vist de fleste filformater.
  • File? Ja, det er jo en filtype?!?

Stakler.

Skæverter

En lille samling af dagens muntre indslag:

  • Byen Roanokeva i Virginia, USA, har valgt at hænge parkeringssyndere ud på nettet. Godt man ikke behøver tænke på den slags.
  • I dagens Urban er der en artikel om fødevarer og slagtere, hvor en af sidstnævnte har valgt dagens dårligste analogi: Kunderne skal have en god oplevelse i butikken og ikke bare bankes igennem som et stykke kvæg. Jeg tror jeg handler et andet sted, hvis det er udtryk for deres indstilling til kvægbehandling.
  • Apropos fødevarer: Familie- og Forbrugerminister Lars Barfoed søger en særlig rådgiver. Formentlig ingen helt dårlig idé, men det er vel de færreste der ikke kan fortælle ham, at han nok burde gøre mere ved problemerne, fremfor at sminke på dem.

Pot 2

Man tror det er løgn — eller en apilsnar — men den er god nok: En mail der følger op på den fra i går:

Til: Alle
Vedr.: Pot 2

Tak for alle de venlige henvendelser. Men det skal altså være pot – og
IKKE hash og nogle af de andre ting, I har liggende.

Vedr.: Pot?

Kammerater!

Jeg skal inden kl. 16.00 skaffe 5 gram pot…kan du hjælpe?

Desværre har politiets benhårde narkoindsats betydet, at pot ganske enkelt
ikke er til at opsnuse i hashklubber og på Christiania (det er for
besværligt at gemme). Ligger du inde med noget?

Alskens sjove ting fra skrivebordsskuffen ville virkelig varme nu…det er
faktisk slet ikke til mig, men til min nabo, som skal på weekendtur med
kortklubben (det er fordi, han har fodret min kat i flere måneder).

Anonymitet er helt okay!

Det bemærkes at ovenstående er udsendt til alle i en større dansk virksomhed, flere tusinde mennesker.
Der må simpelthen bare være en joke gemt et eller andet sted bagved, om ikke andet så i form af lettere ondsindet lokkeri…
