Are you running Tiger? Can't you just update your OS?

Last week I should have skied Tuesday, but I went Thursday and Sunday, and drove up to Idaho Springs on Monday...I just couldn't handle the idea of driving 70. This hour from the mountain thing sucks azz.

Also, computer woes:

My five year old macbook is very slowly getting senile, mostly on the internetz. I stopped using chrome a few months ago, because the google overlordz decided to stop providing updates for my OS, the flash player stopped being up to date, and every time I went to a website, a bar would pop up at the top telling me this fact.

So I moved to Firefox, which evidently gets like 8 mpg or something like that. Every time I watch any animation or go to a website with a lot of bells and whistles on Firefox, the fan starts whiring, and within five minutes the browser slows to the point of like a 5 second lag for every keystroke or mouse click. Not sure if this means that Russians have infiltrated teh Firefox or not, but this does not happen on Chrome.

So yeah, as soon as we've paid medical bills, paid for plane tix to jorb interviews, sold the condo, and gotten jobs, totally buying a new computer.

I do with that my old computer could act a bit more like my old truck, though, for the time being.

Yeah, Coloradkid does make everything look fun.

Do I knowez A.? Is it A. the Indian kid?

Oddly our PC laptop is older than your Mac (ours was bought when Nathan and I moved in together in the fall of 2005) and it's still going. Can't watch movies on it and the CD/DVD drive is broken, but still going.

That must of beed some good Russian porn you found.

Racist! Let's not jump to conclusion about camhat's pron preferences.

I am, however, willing to consider the fact that camhead with his liberal arts education may not have known how to use an incognito mode...

And I don't want to jinx myself, but my laptop is aslo older than camhead's, and also not a mac, and also seems not to suffer from planned obsolescence just yet.

I am familiar with incognito/private browsing. I use it when I go to perezhilton, oprah.com, rockandice, or any other site that I'll be embarrassed about going to.

I'm not sure what it wrong, other than the porbelm comes from running Firefox and the encountering flash player stuff. Something about firefox thinking it needs to use all my RAM to view youtube videos, even 10 minutes after I've watched that video.

have you tried safari?

I'm not a huge fan (generally just use firefox), but maybe that will work better?

Your wife lied about what happened. What you described borders on the impossible. The much more likely scenario is she screwed up somehow, most likely by clamping down on the device with her hand in a moment of panic and kept it from locking up. She was afraid to tell you the truth, or possibly in the way that only women can, convinced herself whatever happened wasn't her fault and made up that scenario in her head.

who teh fuk calls it a list?

I prefer my hair long. For a couple of reasons... 1) I'm lazy and don't want to have to do it. 2) I think it looks better on me.

However, with my current jorb, I has to look professional and conservative. Therefore, right now, it's a bob cut just above my shoulders angled longer in front and I have bangs. All of which I don't like a whole lot.

heh, trying to stir teh butthurt on another one of those mp.com "woo, show us pics of hot wimmin climbers!" threads.

Looks like our old fiernds Jona Marie made an appearance, at least, hehe.

So Mal Daly just threw this photo up on fb asking people to caption it, and I just couldn't help but think of....

but I didn't think I should post that on fb.

This will knot end well.

Heh... Predictably-boring. Boringly-predictable.

I actually have a weke-end climbing report! Imagine that!

There was a climbing comp in Charleston this weekend. Yes, I know, it is ridiculous to drive 4 hours to a comp, but in this case it was a combination of wanting to check out that gym, and hanging out with friends afterwards, and the fact that there was no good climbing to be had anywhere within a day's drive, anyway...

Surprisingly, Heffe wanted to go, and actually brought it up. I was already psyched to go, so when he signed on, it was awesome. A in all, 5 of us went from Cle. Heffe and I, John, Becca and Sarah.

The bouldering gym they built there is REALLY cool. As in, I can't really think of any additions or improvements to the wall design/layout that would make it better. We are not talking the Spot, or any of those big-name places, but for a small co-op gym I have never seen anything that good. Big variety in a small place, very little unused space, and great padded floors.

I wasn't expecting much, since I have been doing little beside warmup/cooldown climbing with hangboard cycle. But it went pretty well.

[spray ]
I got 1xv6, 3xV5s, and 5xV4s. All V4s were flashes. And that got me 3rd place overall, in both flights combined.

My "ballpark" was N. from Columbus, also short, but strong. We climb about the same, and I was hoping to do about as well as she did. She climbed in the morning heat, but I checked the score sheet. She got 1900, I got 2480. So I think that was good.

There were lots of strong people there, which was cool. The top guys where flashing V9/V10s.

Of course, the routes were reachy... I mean, they SAID they weren't reachy, and they weren't VERY reachy... as in, I only jumped 3 times in the course of one V4. But you know, there were more than 3 moves in that V4, so not EVERY move was reachy. And I only had to jump once per two other V4s and use footholds for handholds on two V5s, and jump once on the other V5. But other than that, no, not reachy at all.

Hung out with Banz and co after the comp, drove home this morning. GUD times!

Gneiss work on the crushing! I'm seeing an awesome season for you coming up.

So, you beat N.? She's been climbing pretty strong lately. Who else from Columbus was there? I heard that Jansen and Wolsty were heading down. I was almost tempted to go, just to hang out, play some gheymecube, spray about how bitchin I used to be.

Damn. klawstea's(rip p_o bll), comment got rule #1'd. I guess calling out sexism and gender discrimination is offensive and mean.

Yes, I beat N. by ~580 points. Which felt good, but kinda surprised me.

Brian placed 3rd overall, I think. Baby mutant Max was there, but didn't place. All the columbus people were in the first flight ,and left by the time we got there, so I don't know everyone who was there. There were lots of strong guys. To give you an idea, Manderson's friend Fred who got that famous 'lode punch didn't win, either. He night have tied with Brian in the combined 1st/2nd flight? I don't remember exactly, but there will be scores posted online. Fred's wife Heather beat me, but not by as much as I thought she would, and the other strong girl destroyed everyone. Magda, she's from Poland, now living in Fayetteville.

Heffe got a V7 flash, sent couple V6s, and a bunch of V5s, and that got him 1st place in the intermediates.

lawd, the mountaiprodger banz hammer is in a full-on wack-a-mole battle royale with that clausti chica. Serious!

you would not believe the number of posts of ahem, clausti's that they removed.

in my post above this one.

most telling moderashuns:

In a post by clausti with a bunch of questions like "why do you keep deleting my posts," she also included a photo of her leading atman, captioned, "here: me, with no shirt on, leading trad, in the desert. i hear that makes y'alls dicks hard around here." because she thought they could only delete whole posts and that if there was a picture they'd have to leave it.

turns out they can edit posts, too. They removed the questions about deleted posts and left ONLY the photo with the caption about hard dicks.

later, clausti posted something "camhat knows I'm a chick, he's putting his dick in me later." The "putting his dick in me later" line was removed.

to recap: photos and words intended to make men's dicks hard= allowed. any discussion of a voluntary dicking that a woman might enjoy= not allowed.

I'm afraid this just isn't the case. Sure, cats are great. But I haven't seen any cats at a meatup.
