Unstoppable Hilarity Say What?

Back in college I used to enforce the following rule in my apartment: If Teletubbies were encountered while flipping through channels, the tv must remain on that channel until the baby in the sun shows up.



Whether they admit it or not, everyone loved this rule and it provided endless entertainment.

Now I'm considering a similar rule with Hannah Montana. Apparently there's something of a catch phrase on the show (don't ask how I know, I've got a good reason) and I think it would be humorous to watch whenever it's on until we hear it. Amy disagrees but she probably also disapproves of this entire post.



The internet keeps tabs on such running jokes as the couch gags and the chalkboard gags on The Simpsons. I hope that someone somewhere is cataloging all these Say-What lines.

This show is hilarious, just look at these guys...











Jukkity for the win.

El Chupanibre Overhaul

Here is Drobo. He's in charge of storing all of our media (iPhoto library, iTunes library, pyTiVo folder, whatnot).



But see those blue lights that run almost all the way across the bottom? That means Drobo's running low on space. See that orange light on the bottom right of his face? He's hungry.



Yep, down to 8% free space. Normally 45 GB of free space would seem all right, but Drobo would like more, and he's acting noticeably sluggish.



Here you go, little guy. Out with one 320 GB drive, in with two 640 GB drives, courtesy of Newegg.







Ahh, 623 GB of free space. Drobo is fat and happy. I'm happy too.


I also noticed a few months back that El Chupanibre was only running 1 GB of RAM. For some reason I had been under the impression that he had more than that when I bought him. Crucial helped fix that. As of two days ago El Chupanibre is maxed out at 3 GB. He's much zippier now.

Here's a picture of El Chupanibre on the day that he was born.
