As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed—“Almost rather I had seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!”
“What was it, Sir?” said Flask.
“The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld and returned to their ports to tell of it.”
Moby-Dick, 1851

Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried.

Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved. Go check them out.

Woah, it's been 3 years since the last news update! Fuzzysquid now has a webclips icon for your iPhone! It'll automagically show up when you add FS to your home screen. Atom and RSS feeds have been available for a few years now, but I never made special mention of it.

Since it seems to be popular, and it's been linked in a lot of different places besides here, I've decided to post the LJ Images page. At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!)

Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive. Not much commentary, relevance, or sequitur—but it's what's keeping this blog from turning into a meme dumpster.

Friday night I dreamed about some really awful customer service, and it was so frustrating that I woke up kicking the covers. And then later that day pretty much the exact situation unraveled while I was out getting something at CompUSA for my trip this week (as there is no way in hell I'd shop there if I didn't need something immediately). Because although the salespeople could pause their conversations with the "person they are currently helping" long enough to tell me they couldn't help me, they could not however reach in behind the counter and hand me the thing I want to EXCHANGE MONEY FOR. So I waited for 10 minutes while they held their life-counseling sessions. When I got to the register, it rang up for quite a bit more than the price tag had claimed, and I asked what was going on. The adult-in-training told me there was a rebate, and I said FINE and he charged my card and I asked how I would be getting my rebate. He said it would print up a coupon that I'd mail in but huh, nothing's printing up, so I guess that's the real price. Look, the story just keeps going from here, so I'm just going to stop.
