 That'll earmark all the active users for that group and send an update file to everybody. Hooray for Triggers !

Chasing potential errors after, now. Seems to be working within parameters, save for one not splitting properly.

The North Broward Bureau is a minimum to medium security, special needs detention facility housing male and female offenders. The facility also houses protective custody female offenders and female juveniles. The facility currently holds 1,200 inmates.

The primary mission of the facility is to house and manage the mentally ill, medically infirm and special needs inmate population.

Momster pulled his police report - It seems he'd parked in a handicapped space, and when the police ran his tags, the car he was in was reported stolen. Apparently his license was expired, as well. It was certainly enough to violate probation.

[Edit - in 11c now, out of the infirmary. Bro has been there before. My guess is he is detoxing or being treated for bi-polar as he has claimed that in the past.]

The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, said new dress rules would mean the requirement for the wigs, which legal professionals have worn since the 17th century, would not be needed in civil or family court cases.

"While there will never be unanimity of view about court dress, the desirability of these changes has a broad measure of agreement," Phillips said.

Work is interviewing for the network position today. I wonder when or if they’ll be asking me to sit with them today? I’m curious about the number of applicants.

Cable Modem... *NOT*. The guys came by, and it turns out the cable box on the outside pole hadn't changed yet... 2 hours later, a cherry picker drives by and upgrades the pole. I've called back, and the internet will be supposedly installed tomorrow between 8am-Noon. We shall See!

Happy Birthday, graypumpkin!

What would happen if everyone on Earth suddenly vanished without a trace? Although that's totally impossible, of course, a new article speculates on how long it would take for all traces of today's human civilization to be reclaimed by the earth's natural processes.

There was quite a bit of teeth gnashing across the web throughout the evening yesterday as TypePad, LiveJournal, and all the other hosted Six Apart websites went dark; we learned late in the night that the cause was a “sophisticated distributed denial of service attack” against the sites. Digging a little deeper, though, it doesn’t look like this is a particularly accurate description of what happened — but instead of this being a case of the folks at Six Apart trying to cover up some internal issue, it instead looks like they’re being far too gracious in not revealing more about another company, Blue Security, which appears to have been responsible for the whole disaster. An explanation of this requires a slight bit of background.

Sakes, insane night so far tonight on call.

Brief Summary of my cases in the first *HOUR* from 5pm-6-pm EST -

• Sexual Predator in Okeechobee County, FL



• Mother in Jesup, GA who first reported her 3 year old as kidnapped, and then it turns out she killed her child - searching for the body over three counties I'm guessing this one will be all over the news - I wonder if they'll get many of the facts right?



• Habitual Runaway in Hollywood, FL



• 11 yr old wander-off Autistic kid in MI



• two school pals who hit the road for some reason in Nye County, NV - ran off into the desert [edit - the two girls in Nye were recovered, and they're safe and sound, save for whatever punishment a pissed off parent might give.]



• A kid in Thomaston, CT - Another habitual, fresh move [edit - called home for a pickup when he got cold and tired of being out and about]

I don't know what I was thinking... that all of the homeless would pack up and go into lockdown, but they seemed even more populous than ever on the ride to work yesterday. I mentally tallied 36 as the bus rolled by them.

This card is my problem with compusa, along with really poor communication or support /offering of alternatives.

In a nutshell, it's been since November 10th that my Computer has been at the shop... everything else needing repair is fixed according to them.

Verto GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Video Card, AGP, 256MB DDR
Nvidia
Manufacturer: PNY   
Mfg Part #: VCGFX595APB
Product Number: 308120
$499.88

However, that bad boy has been out of stock at the manufacturer, and at all known compusa stores in a 50-mile radius for the last 8 weeks.

With a $500 price tag, I'm obliged to wait, because I really can't drop that chunk of change on something that I should be getting under warranty.

The guys at the shop have given me two timelines, both of which have passed, now. I'm not quite sure what I can do, save for waiting.

Meanwhile, I have to do my work on poor ol' Battered lappie, My Toshiba satillite back from a time when Windows Me (I've long since replaced that with win2k pro) was "cutting edge".

I'd say that the only time I've had worse customer service/ communication was with Comcast... I have since boycotted them, though I've heard that they might not be so bad in other areas outside of SoFla.

Not having big brain has cost me some very significant social chat and play time in 2nd Life, LAN party activities with the old FMM crowd are out of the picture... plus, all of my downloaded movies / Netflix DVD archives are ground to a halt while the machine is gone... not to mention a lack of Newtcam.

I never realised how many people watched good ol' Newt during the day... I've gotten somthing like 80 emails politely requesting when he'll be back online again. If Big Brain is down another week, I'll hook Newtcam up to Lappie so folks can get an orange kitty fix.

I can only imagine what happens when pretty girls shut off their webcams. I suspect horny stalker-type guys aren't nearly as polite as cat fanciers.

Bro's pal Andy was arrested today. He's under wraps until September 26 for that grand theft charge and "resisting a merchant"... I'll have to look that one up.

See mugshot gallery to compare, or entries on 2/24/04, 2/25/04, 11/21/04, 1/30/05, 6/7/05, somewhere in 7/2005, 8/3/05.

I really hope that means bro will keep his nose clean for a little while.
