Eric Covener’s Journal

No more Sunday drives to North Hills for Marjorie and I — we’re getting a Dunkin Donuts attached to the Eagle gas station on 70 & Ebeneezer Church Rd. Opening Monday June 1!

I seriously doubt the adventure will continue with Samantha Darko

(besides everything)

Open gconf-editor and go to /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard.
All the options are there. Uncheck the “enable” [this is the name of a key, not a value] entry to turn off all accessibility options (better safe than sorry, right?) The gnome docs make it sound like these options are all in the preferences menu for vanilla gnome, but ubuntu seems to have removed them. Pesky options…

This little bastard gets me all the time when I hold down shift for page up/down in a terminal, then locks me out of the keyboard until I can find and dismiss the popup.

The Obama administration’s fiscal stimulus plan will meet previous estimates to save 3.5 million U.S. jobs by the end of 2010, but the unemployment rate at that time may be higher due to further deterioration in the economy, a senior administration official said on Monday. The official said the administration was monitoring closely the results of the $787 billion spending and tax-cut package to determine whether additional actions are needed as “mid-term” economic forecasts are prepared by the White House..

Fortunately, creating 3.5 million jobs with 787 billion only costs 220k+ per job — keeping the newly hired safe from the incrase in the 250k+ tax bracket!

Land of the Lost trailers are looking hot. Very campy, so all of you Enik fans waiting for resolution on some 40-year arch are up a creek.

Metered broadband a necessity?

TWC’s revenues from broadband during the first three months of this year rose 11% percent over the first quarter of 2008, climbing from $994 million to $1.1 billion.

At the same time, TWC’s costs to provide broadband service to its customers dropped 18%, from $40 million to $33 million. That dramatic drop in costs came even though its number of subscribers grew from 7.9 million to 8.6 million.
