First!

Ya had me for a while, Weaz! I figured you’d typo’ed or sumpin and were busily trying to fix it. Until I saw the April Fools header, that is.

It’s a Minion IQ Test, McGoo! That, or a housekeeping test…Uncle B’s monitor is so dirty, he kept saying, “it is too blank!”

I’m taking advantage of HTML page precedence. The front page generated by WordPress is called index.php. But an index.html page will jump in front of it if you don’t specify. (And default.html will jump behind it).

Hah! I did a final confirmation by wiping the spot on the monitor with my finger! It didn’t wipe off, so I knew for sure! Getting my mouse pointer on it required me to bite tongue with teeth and use reading glasses.

You’re HTML-Fu is strong.

I notice Islamic Rage Boy lost his pancake. Terrible thing – losing your pancake.

Ha! Minions’ revenge. I apparently can’t create new posts while in this mode. I hit save and everything disappears into the ether 🙂

Well, hell. You could save the post until tomorrow? But like they say – if it’s good enough to save, its too good to sit on!

Oh, it was for tomorrow. And it’s not that good. I’ll just jot some notes in notepad and pick it up later. I’m still chasing a deadline today.

Two, actually.

Plus, I’m pushing hard to do the last few things at Casa del Weasel. Mostly paint and cleanup. I’ve got to get this one the market or I’ll go mad.

Mad, I tell you.

Go for it Weaz! Were all pullin’ for you, except it doesn’t help…

Rumour has it the market is getting a hair better. But I don’t believe it. I think its a combo of people getting ready to move over the summer (good for you) but putting their homes on the market (bad for you). That’s a wash in my book.

If no other minions figure it out, do I have to quit my minionship? I’m really a moron – honest! Figuring it out was just a fluke. It wasn’t my fault.

Lots of people have figured it out. I can tell from the stats: there’s no hit counter on the blank page, so anything that is referred to the counter by sweasel.com is a result of somebody hitting that link. Whether those clever so-and-sos would consider themselves minions is another story.

Things are moving a little bit, according to all the workmen I’ve had through. In my favor, nobody’s putting a house on the market who doesn’t have to. Not so in my favor, there are PAGES of foreclosures in Providence. In my favor, it’s a nice little house for a first-time buyer. Not in my favor, it really needs a new boiler and probably replacement windows (not to mention a bunch more cosmetic stuff than I’ve done). I have an idea I’ll end up doing a lot of that as a condition of sale — which is okay if I get enough of an offer to cover it. I’m beginning to get a little low on ready cash.

You’re right to not believe it McGoo, the housing market isn’t getting any better. Working for a company who is closely tied to it, I see little or no improvement in our sales, which are almost exclusively dependent on the housing market. The biggest part of the problem is all the foreclosures putting existing homes back in the market. If we make it through that little hiccup, things will hopefully start to improve. But it’s going to take a while for things to balance out.

Weaz, good luck with the house. Just be prepared to be very patient waiting for it to sell. It’s definitely a buyer’s market now.

See! I told you I’m a moron! I didn’t know the hit counter wasn’t working on the blank page. My minionship is secure.

Thanks, Kowboy! Glad to hear from someone who’s got his ear into the housing mkt. I’m in the market (buyer) right now, and I can’t believe the deals that are out there. Too bad I haven’t found the “just so” property of my dreams yet.

Weaz, you’ll sell fast! I firmly believe it. Your home is EXACTLY what someone is looking for.

I just got an email form a friend that says the new dollar coin doesn’t have “In god we trust” on it.

Anyone know about this?

Me pass clicky dot test! SMRT!

Looks like it’s true. The newest one for 2008 is a James Monroe presidential dollar. It’s too small to read, even on the enlarged version, but some of the prior ones have slightly larger pictures. It looks like the whole set just has the names and dates under the portrait.

At first I thought you took the day off, weasel, it being a moron national holiday and all…..then I caught the speck out of my peripheral vision…which is odd…must get my eyes checked again.

I hit “Ctrl-A” to find the link. My screen has too many dots already to figure out that one wasn’t dirt. Nicely done.

Test? Not math, I hope. I must’ve missed it. Guess I flunked.

We can’t all be bright minions. Who’d do the dirty work?

Only The Weasel could have given my screen haunted dust marks!

PnB – I damned near crapped myself.

Hey, I found y’all! Cool trick Weasel. As for the coin – they wrote that stuff on the edge along with the date of issue.

Check out Ace – he posted a fun thing I sent him on sidebar! Whoot!

On the edge of the coin? Whoa. Good to know.

That Japanese whizzy thing? Cool. Finally, a good reason for me to get a game.

Thanks for the tip on how to get to your page, Your Highness. I completely missed it. Which makes me a moronic moron, no?

Interesting Wiki stuff on the new dollar coin. I’m reminded of a (very) conservative uncle of mine who did not want to accept Kennedy half dollars …. He’s been dead quite a while — wonder what he’d make of today’s liberals?

Someone somewhere linked to Virgle: a joint venture of Virgin and Google to colonize Mars.

I didn’t really get it until I saw this video:

My grandmother wouldn’t lick a one cent stamp because there was a picture of Lincoln on it.

McGoo, that was the point. Heh. And it just so happened an old fart had sent it to me. My immediate response was, ‘f*cker’.

I didn’t figure it out because…ummm…I go so fast through these things….ummm…..no time for puzzles…yeah….yeah…I’m just too fast…that’s it….

Holy shit! I just prepped and half-painted the ceiling of my bedroom. Hasn’t been done in 20 years, and I was a smoker for ten of them. What absolute VILEness.

Oh, and I hate ceiling painting.

Only after I’d hit the reload button a couple of times did it occur to me to look at the title bar.

And btw: I’m still pissed about that b’day invite.

PnP – if I’d soiled myself, I would have mailed them to you!

But since an Olde farte sent it to you, I forgive you.

Weaz! I have experienced that very thing! I was an habitual bed-smoker, and painted the ceiling once. It was stunning what stuck to it. The ceiling was AMBER.

There are two kinds of painters: the bulk painters, and the “trim” painters. I always preferred the trim and cut-in work to the bulk slop-it-on by-the-gallon work.

I got my dual monitors working with the new system. God have I been missing having two. And it’s your fault, Weaz.

Google’s been out in full force with pranks this year. Virgle and Custom Time, quite funny.

I’m happy to say I found my way in yesterday after a few seconds, it was a cute trick.
