The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

I got stuck in a riptide once in Colorado while White Water Rafting, I think it was called 'surfing the hole'. I launched out of the inflatable boat but remembered to grab the rope cord along the side. If I hadn't I might not be here today.

EN World would not be the same without you.

I'm not a hush puppy!

Then why are you trying to hump Mega's leg?

not sure if I even have a phobia ...


not thrilled by heights but I can overcome it as required so I would call that a fear vs a phobia. Rosanne Barr could be my phobia......

Yeah, I don't have any. I always get a strange vertigo when I'm up high which translates in my brain to "Wow, that's far down, I wonder what it would be like to free fall." At which point I think about how one-shot that experience would be, and move on.

so if you go to the beach you sit with your back to the water. "What a lovely view of the cottage.... and bikinis......"

I don't go to beaches except very late at night when no one else is around so I can walk along the shore and think ... and be alone ... and listen to the waves. Very peaceful.

Bikinis are NOT peaceful. :\

I don't know why but I used to have a fear of using escalators, specifically the down escalators.

Ah ha! Victory dance time.

We had an old Novell 3.1 file server when I first took over the job here. Thing was amazing. Bullet proof. But with newer incarnations of windows we just didn't really need. Thing was in a honking huge (and heavy) pc case on wheels though.

Yup, this was a steel SCO box. Noisy as all get out. I'm thrilled I don't have to babysit it any more.

Afternoon, Darth. How are you?

Still worn out from the weekend....

I fear nothing.
