antipaucity

This morning I got stuck in an elevator for about 20 minutes during a power failure in the building.

The ironic part? It’s the elevator that my colleague and I had thought would be most likely to screw up because it makes funny noises, doesn’t always know what floor it’s on, etc.

Sigh.

In case you ever want to know, here are a couple pages that spell-out how to say “thank you” in hundreds of languages:

• http://www.deepestfeelings.com/holidays/thanksgiving/thank_you_in_many_languages.shtml
• http://www.etailersdigest.com/greetings/saythanks.htm

It seems something is amiss here at antipaucity.com – the CentOS Apache test page displays, when it should be displaying the main page of my blog

Oddly enough, all direct links work fine.

If anyone has some thoughts, I’d appreciate any feedback!

I’ve been given claim code, which apparently has to exist in a post, hence this one

I’m a huge fan of the Discovery Channel series, Cash Cab. While in New York this week, I kept looking for the elusive 1-in-13000 cabs that Ben Bailey drives, hoping for the opportunity to hop in and play the game.

Well, I didn’t have a chance to get in, but I saw the cab Tuesday night: a minivan complete with flashing ceiling, and Ben driving with his ear piece in place.

It’s obviously not as cool as being on the show, but still pretty exciting.

…or, more accurately, the apartment complex. I was talking to a couple friends this past weekend, and told them I’d like to offer a per-minute lease on an apartment. It turns out that $0.02 per minute is $864/30-day month. For another penny a minute I’d include all utilities.

Ok, so it’s a little off the wall, but why not?

Also, why don’t apartment complexes let you pay your lease with a PayPal subscription? It would certainly make my life easier if I could just sign-up with my PayPal account, and have the rent automatically show up on the right day.

Yes, the frozen, white, flaky water that falls from the skies and accumulates on the ground.

It’s snowing here in Durham, and I’m psyched.

As a coworker said, “Snow is redneck kryptonite”.

This is ‘not a title’.

This isn’t either.
