| mmlj4 | what'd you do the ankle or whatever? s/do/do to/ |
| merlyn | twisted it won't support all my weight yet |
| mmlj4 | nice... I fell while ice skating 2 months ago... in pain for 1 month, but for the last 3 weeks or so I can't even tell I injured it |
| merlyn | sadly favoring the other leg may damage that instead! |
| mmlj4 | try happily favoring it instead? ]my chair just broke... one of the arms fell off |
| merlyn | sadly comma |
| rmah_ | mmlj4: you should lose some weight |
| mmlj4 | i was expecting the seat to come off, it's only held on by 2 bolts now pretty decent mileage... I bought it for $10, 6 years ago from the company that went out of business under us i got my money's worth |
| zen | So I want to create a way for my C program to process perl scripts...is there a tutorial for that sort of thing? (I'm looking over perlcall now.) |
| Woosta | Chair .. bought from a company .. that went broke .. a couple of years ago .. gotta be an Aeron |
| mmlj4 | nope, just a black high-back roller chair though I have an aeron at my office now |
| action | Woosta farts to much to be allowed an Aeron |

| mmlj4 | but yeah, it was a dot.bomb... actually, it was a solid ISP, until the owner decided to take all the money and start an internet TV/radio station in the french quarter, playing the worst cat-torturing music I've ever heard fastband globalcast |
| Woosta | lol |
| zen | Uh Aeron...a grand USD? Is that sounding right? |
| mmlj4 | yes, that's about right |
| zen | :( Anyone know another soon-to-be dot.bomb that might've bought a lot of aerons recently...? |
| mmlj4 | cbs.com nytimes.com |
| Supaplex | aros.net |
| zen | Heh, by the time those go out of business, I could've made enough on a paper route to buy a thousand.... |
| mmlj4 | zen: um, nytimes is bleeding cash, their readership is way down cbs, well, they have a few good shows, but there again no one wants to hear any news from them |
| zen | mmlj4, They might be bleeding cash, but they're not going to go out of business any time soon. Plus, if their value falls enough, they'll simply get bought by someone who thinks they can do better, or who wants the NYTImes name (which is a strong US brand in and of itself). So I don't think they'll be selling off their aerons at a liquidation sale any time soon... |
