Autechre

"Booth and Brown pronounce the name Autechre with a Rochdale accent (/ɔːˈtɛkər/ aw-TEK-ər).[2] However, they have explained that the name can be pronounced in any way one sees fit.[3] Booth explains: "The first two letters were intentional, because there was an 'au' sound in the track, and the rest of the letters were bashed randomly on the keyboard. We had this track title for ages, and we had written it on a cassette, with some graphics. It looked good, and we began using it as our name."[4] They are also commonly referred to by the abbreviation "Ae" or "æ"."

I would like to add that though my name is Benjamin, I also don't care how it is pronounced, you can go with Bin-Jah-mean, or Ban-Jer_min or my fav BEAN-Jahr-Me-an..

Not because I think that my parents randomly mashed a keyboard after I made the "Bean" sound as I came out... I just like interpretation...

I am often referred to as "B"

"What does this mean???"

This sort of sums up my day, a guy (let's call him DomainUser0) at my job brings me a blurry pic of an error prompt and says "I get this message everyday what does it mean? Is there problems with my computer? My email's still working and I can get on the network so...?"

OK for starters, I usually like to help people out if they are having an issue but when there isn't really an issue or if they wait till the symptoms are gone to tell me about it and then give me a picture of an error message that isn't really legible, I have to say there isn't a whole lot I can do (the sad part is I know this going in).. But alas I still ended up spending about 30 mins to an hour on it before jumping ship.. And that was really just to placate DomainUser0 and make sure he felt as though I gave a crap...

Info Overdose...

I spend too much time looking through links, blogs, data of all sorts, to never regurgitate any of it due to laziness. So I will again be posting anything I find relatively amusing as time permits..... The point isn't really who reads it or how many people check it out, it's the process of compiling and creating something. eventually I may give a crap what I thought about blank and how I found X. Till then, I'm doin' data-drive-bys and dropin' useless info bombs on your ass (again I am kinda writing to my self so your ass is kinda my ass but I digress)....

Bug eating lampshade...

Flies and moths are naturally attracted to light. This lamp shade has holes based on the form of the pitcher plant enabling access for the insects but no escape. Eventually they expire and fall into the microbial fuel cell underneath. This generates the electricity to power a series of LEDs located at the bottom of the shade. These are activated when the house lights are turned off.

Well not exactly from KW but he's the one blogging about it, I guess...
