6710 Weekend of Entombment starts today.

Stocked up for a lo-ong weekend of being on call. This is what happens when your only other tech that can work Friday or Saturday has things to do.

Got plenty of diet cherry coke, quorn patties, and tofu to ride through it without a hitch, though. Also the fixings to make a mega batch of three-bean salad.

( New 3-bean salad recipe for Saturday )

I did a little messing around, and I added adsense to my non-lj.com pages (they're all purely text ads, based on the page content. I'll be interested in seeing what stuff my journal page pulls up.) If it turns out to be annoying, I'll yank it. I'm currently going with a tall column, 5 adds high, but I may trim that down to a single button.

Current links are - (currently public service ones, that don't count toward any income, but good causes.)

Gorillas, Just for Dads, Hunger Relief in America, Asian Developing Nations, Volunteer Match, and a bunch of webcam links on Newt's cam page.

Random memory - That hobo guy on In Living Color with the pickle floating in murky brine.

Found an Indonesian 500 Rupiah bill flapping around in the wind on the walk home. (1992 printing) hard to see is the image of a man in a fez watermarked in the center. He reminds me of Boris Karloff's portrayal of Ardath Bey from The Mummy. Also, any currency with an ape on it is A-OK in my book. ( pictures of the front and back )

I had no idea know what that's worth in Dollars, so I consulted - this exchange calculator, and it says 500 IDR = 0.0533628 USD.

Wow. Paper money, worth just a smidgen over a nickel! Like German Marks during the 20's.

(1 IDR = 0.000106726 USD 1 USD = 9,369.83 IDR )

I guess I won't be retiring on my windfall.

I wonder what the Dragon looked like while the Donkey was under the influence of the "Stallion-potion" in Shrek 2.

Aww.. comic_getfuzzy (as well as a number of others) has been suspended. drat! I wonder if it was due to bandwidth loss, or something else? [update: get_fuzzy_feed is active at the moment.]

Saw Ray Iglesias at the pharmacy building yesterday. (First time I've seen him since September, even though he lives right around the bend.)
