Last night after a late flight (yes, it was delayed) I met up with some folks at Zeno’s for a couple pitchers of beer.
While at the bar the NC State – FSU game was on and Luke notified us that Florida State had a guy on their roster named De’ Cody Fagg. In the photograph below he’s pointing this out.
Needless to say we hit the Pizza Place for a couple slices rather late.
Today Classial World Chess Champion Vladimir Kramnik took a seat over taking crap. During a World Chess championship match against reigning champion Veselin Topalov, Kramnik was accused of cheating while on the crapper. Kramnik has been using his private bathroom all to frequently during the match that Topalov thinks he’s more than just shitting around.
In filing the protest, Mr. Topalov implied that Mr. Kramnik might somehow be cheating when he was in the toilet. Before the protest, Mr. Kramnik led the match 3-1, with 6.5 points needed to win. The match is being played in Elista, the capital of Kalmykia, a Russian republic on the Caspian Sea.
To thwart the cheating the World Chess Federation locked both bathrooms and forced the competitors to use the same bathroom for the remainder of the match.
Rightly so Kramnik threw a shitfit. During today’s match Kramnik went to his private crapper and sat outside demanding it be unlocked. Officials declard the game a forfeit.
Kramnik’s manager Carsten Hensel said the reasons for all the bathroom runs were due to the large quantity of water Kramnik drank during the match and because:
“Mr. Kramnik likes to pace, and the private rest area used by each player was too small so he uses the space of the bathroom as well.”
What we have here is a real shit storm.
Today at work I got a call from our Network Administrator asking me to ‘cycle the power’ on the Spectra Logic 2000. Needless to say I was taken aback by this request. I’ve dealt with an AS400 which I always thought was the most powerful computer ever designed by man, but today I discovered how wrong I was.
Anything named the Spectra Logic 2000 must be control something on the scale of Missle Defense for the Soviet Union. You would expect something as powerful as the Spectra Logic 2000 to have been destoyed by MI6 long ago. We’ll you’d be wrong, instead the Spectra Logic is plugging along at my work.
*Side Note:
To ‘cycle the power’ on the Spectra Logic 2000, you don’t press a button or flip a switch, no, you pull a lever.
The Soviets wouldn’t have it any other way.
