Remember the last podcast I posted?
Remember how it only had my side of the conversation, because Marc screwed up his half so badly it was unusable?
Golly, that was funny. We all had a good laugh over that, didn’t we? We laughed and laughed.
And I laughed harder than anyone, didn’t I? Yes I did. I laughed like a jackal, and I’ve never stopped.
Well, today the pod is on the other foot. Because while I was editing this one, I accidentally threw away the last 15 minutes of my half. How’s that for hi-larity?
Now when this happened to Marc, he rectified the situation by simply stripping himself out of the podcast. And that was a good idea, but not one that would work in this situation. Because we all know that Marc by himself isn’t interesting.
No, my choices were an 18 minute podcast with both of us talking, or a half hour show where I just go all Marlee Matlin at the halfway point.
So, fuck it. I can’t figure out what else to do but post it and beg forgiveness.
If it’s any consolation, one of your “dream” phone calls is at the end.

For god’s sake . . . Hasn’t anyone heard of BACKING UP!?!

Wait, you “threw it away”? How the hell did this happen? You can’t just accidentally delete something on a computer!
What, were you carrying it around on a flash drive or something?
I think this was deliberate.

Deal or No Deal.
Wow.

April, you need to upgrade to Leopard 10.5 on your Mac. Automatic backups. (you will need an external hard drive or get the new Apple “Time Capsule”) Just make sure you have over a gig of ram memory, preferably as much as whatever Mac you have can take. Post your Mac’s specs for us. Pull down the little Apple icon on the top of the menu and it’ll show your specs under “about this Mac”. Leopard shouldn’t cost much and neither should an external hard drive — Craigslist for the ram, too. Sincerely, Steve Jobs

So April’s just received the new modem/router from her ISP which promises to add wireless networking. But she realizes she already has wireless access with her laptop and assumes the new wireless modem/router sitting in the yet to be opened box is unnecessary. What April may not have considered is that she may be accessing the internet over one of her neighbor’s unsecured wireless router’s signal. Better unplug your modem and see if the net is still there on the laptop wirelessly. If so, don’t send back that modem.

Or she can get an Apple Time Capsule which is also a wireless modem and will back up her stuff at the same time on all her Macs. -SJ

It’s just easier to blame the dog

Or you could just look on the back of the modem/modem-router and see if there’s an antenna. I’ve yet to see a wireless routher without an antenna. If there’s no antenna and no client ethernet ports, it’s just a modem without a router and you need to add a router to have internet access for multiple computers.

The dog DID chew the PETCO card, so it’s like really authentic

Scooting is so late 70’s.

And when did the term Scooting start being used?
Back in the day having coke blown up ones ass was referred to as “getting a Stevie Nicks”.
