Visitor Distribution for Willshouse.com
It looks like the willshouse.com is a bit more popular, especially internationally, than I had anticipated. Here’s a map of the last 500 visitors as of today.
Google gets crazy with Newton’s Apples
Google is celebrating Newton’s Birthday today with a poppy javasript falling apple. Google recently added javascript to their homepage with the fade in / fade out of the text around the edges. Google usually adds cool graphics for holiday’s like Issac Newton’s Birthday but they have decided “what the heck,” we are already using javascript on the homepage, let’s add something else. I think it’s kind of delightfully tacky.

Rainier Wolfcastle in “Mein Bratwurst..”
According to various Simpsons episodes, Wolfcastle began his acting career as a child in Austria, appearing on painfully long television commercials advertising bratwurst. F-R-I-T-Z S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N Looks like Youtube has removed the video – let me know if you find it elsewhere online so I can post it here. Lyrics to The Fritz Schnackenpfefferhausen Bratwurst Song : Rainier Wolfcastle: Mein bratwurst has a first name, It’s F-R-I-T-Z, Mein bratwurst has a second name, It’s S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N.

My Modem is Broken
Below are two posts recently spotted on the Winston-Salem craigslist. I used to hear people calling their computers “modems” back in the early 00′s, but now it’s 2010 and this is too funny. Re: Dell Computer Parts (Anywhere) Back to computer terms class for you!! The computer is NOT a modem. That’s a part located inside of the box!!! What is it with the uneducated calling a computer a cpu, a modem, or a hard drive? These are all parts located inside of the box. They are not interchangeable terms. The correct name for the tower is system unit. Most people just call the box a tower or computer. Correct your post!! via http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/sys/1534005448.html Dell Computer Parts (Winston Salem) Dell Desktop I got the modem repaired and the business put a dvd reader card in it, and I am tired of fooling with it. Parts that are with it… -Working Monitor -Mouse -Keyboard -Modem (Needs New Driver, and could sell parts inside of it) -Has windows XP on it now Make offer *Cash Offer via http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/sys/1533947923.html
Subnet Mask Calculator Tool
I love this subnet mask calculator The IP Subnet Mask Calculator enables subnet network calculations using network class, IP address, subnet mask, subnet bits, mask bits, maximum required IP subnets and maximum required hosts per subnet.
