"You sing funny"

So we went to a concert.
Went and saw "Weird Al" Yankovic. The show was amazing. I don't think I've ever been that entertained at a concert. The man must have the stamina of a horse - he did 15 minute medleys, had costume changes between almost every song (and in a couple cases he had multiple costume changes during a song) and he did a 10 minute song (my favorite - "Albuquerque") as an encore. All this was interspersed by these weird vignettes on the video screen behind him - faked interviews, random bits of tv, any mention of Al on movies or tv shows...
I'm not gonna post a concert review, but suffice it to say I loved it, and will go to any show he puts on near us again.
Oh yeah, and I met him before the show. he's cool.

Stupid, stupid windows.

Another of those really really dumb things microsoft put into their various windows products:
In windows server 2003, if you get the properties of a device in device manager, then try to close device manager - windows politely informs you to close all device property panels before closing the device manager. It does this by opening a click-to-close box, over the property panel - instead of just closing the panel for you, or heaven forbid just leave the damn thing open and do what you ask.
I used to postulate that the device manager should have a button marked "I don't have that" that you could click to permanently and completely remove a device from your system. If you looked at device manager in windows 95 or 98, you would likely see 3 or 4 monitors, every modem that has ever been within 10 feet of your desk, the scanner your brother brought over one time... tons of stuff you just don't have - but for some reason, when you remove them - they come back. Windows needed to have those ghost devices there, for reasons unknown to you, and refused to leave them dead. The "I don't have that" button would be for those devices.
Ok, done now.

P.S.
I installed a 2 computer network this past week. No big deal, except that both computers were in these big heavy computer hutches. I officially declare my hate of computer hutches here and now. Don't get me wrong - I like the things. I just hate installing and maintaining computers in them. I had to saw half the back off of mine to fit my 21" monitor in it, and I had to completely unhook my computer in order to slide it out to install a network card. I hate 'em.
