ok, feeling a little bit like a dork now... you weren't supposed to see that I posted that. I was hoping it'd go under your radar. =P - Dani Figueiredo
Hush, little Dani, don't you cry, Codex will sing you a lullaby, and if that lullaby don't work, Codex will DM good ole Vork, and if Vork don't help you scrimp and save, Codex will DM good ole Bladezz, and if Bladezz’s magic tricks aren’t good for you, Codex will DM good ole Zaboo, and if Zaboo’s jokes are old and stink, Codex will DM good ole Tink, and if Tink’s care makes you wail and holler, Codex will DM good ole Clara, and if Clara’s powerstrip leaves you shocked, Codex will wrap you in a box. (to the tune of 'Hush little baby') - WorldofHiglet
LOL that was awesome... hehe And I guessed it worked, after my roommate interuption I slept ALL afternoon... like 5 hours! - Dani Figueiredo
Ooh, I wonder who did that interview? :) - WorldofHiglet
hehe dunno... seems like a really cool person that interviewer, =] - Dani Figueiredo
Too bad you couldn't have kept up with the Peanut Gallery in the chat box on the stream. We had a great time watching you together. Any chance of "Live" streaming The Guild episodes on their initial release?? - Kevin
What was the distances you were dealing with? - Ray Marr
well it wasn't so great - 100 miles but neither of us drove so it was a long way (plus, in England, that is a long way!). We saw each other every few weeks for a weekend and wrote a shed load of soppy letters (the thought of which now makes me cringe!). - WorldofHiglet
the thing is, if you don't see each other the actual physical distance becomes less important - 100 miles or 2000 miles - you still don't see each other. And there were no mobile phones in those days my lad, let me tell you! :) - WorldofHiglet
Fair enough, well as it stands I have had two and by any standards am now in one but she is over an ocean from here so I try to figure out what to do and how to remember that distance should not matter. Been so long it is about time I went and saw her. - Ray Marr

More than any sane person should, including 5yrs with a girl who lived on the other side of the continent in another country. Which probably classifies me as some kind of masochist, but I repeat myself. - Alexander Williams

@Ray Marr (knatchwa): "Distance should not matter?" Who takes advice from their crack dealer? Seriously, distance ALWAYS matters. Does it matter if you work 17hrs a day and spend 80% of your time on the road? If so, then distance matters. And it does. Moreover, it's agonizingly not-easy. It's hard enough to maintain a relationship with someone whom you have full-bandwidth with, visual, audio, tactile. Narrow it, and you make things exponentially harder. - Alexander Williams

@squidlord interesting points, they surely are ... and an interesting example, have you dealt with a narrow bandwidth circumstance? - Ray Marr
@Ray Marr (knatchwa): Way too much. Every single LDR is a narrow-bandwidth experience. - Alexander Williams

@alexander williams Many in Phillipines or what was the choice continent? :) - Ray Marr
*hugs* Sorry, Mona. But, it is still kinda cool that something you wrote is on Reuters. - Yolanda ♥s Nuttycakes
No you guys, I'm not giving crack fiends blow jobs for a roof over my head and being more dramatic than it is LOL If you guys read it, you'll understand. LOL - Mona N.

I read it...couchsurfing is not bad. I used to live in a tent in a ravine in Santa Cruz. Sounds ok until the floods start. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
What's great about the Reuters mention is more of the world is becoming aware of Mona! And realizing how great you are. :) - Abby Martin
haha I guess it pays to have no Internet shame. ;) Thanks, imabonehead. - Mona N.

"we hate it when our friends become successful" - morrisey ;) - adolfo foronda
FALSE! I've seen MANY of my friends succeed and I'm genuinely happy for them! (Entertainment - mostly: music, acting, etc.) Recently, one of my very best friends was offered a column on CNN. Everyone's different and they all have their niches! - Mona N.

HA HA. But seriously, this is so freaking cool it makes me giggle. Congrats! :D - Far
Ah, I see you're syndicating with Blogburst....always nice when they get you onto one of the majors. - Karoli
I've never tried couchsurfing.com (in 6 years of being a nomad), but I haven't heard a bad review yet. Three of my female friends have tried couchsurfing, and they all report great experiences. There's a hostel in SF for $22. And sometimes (with Travelocity/Expedia/Orbitz $50-100 off coupons), you can score a 3-4* hotel for $3-10/night. - Mitchell Tsai
It is a great story, funny and well written. Congrats Mona! - Juan Pablo González
Reminds me of Adrian Lamo (the homeless hacker) - hope you weren't doing any of the things he was. :) - John Wang
Ha ha... your SSID doesn't fool us... we know it's really a Duplo firewall and we know the vulnerabilities ;-) - Logical Extremes
where's the DMZ? And is that 'real' lego....? - WorldofHiglet
so, which ports did he allow for his hands to get thru? - Neil Bernhart
more to the point, how will he get them out? - WorldofHiglet
Vulnerability Summary for CVE-2008-LEGO: Default opening in LEGO Firewall for power cord can lead to denial of service. Unauthenticated attackers can remotely remove plug with firewall at default settings, leading to eventual power loss. - Karim
Hmmm... you tried hitting it; might want to try a kick or two as well, just to cover all the bases. ;-) - Jeremy Brooks
Hahaha Jeremy Brooks I had a computer I did that to but it was on it's way out the door. I advise not to use any blunt objects, shooting it, throwing it out the window and yelling harsh words at it this my make you temporarily feel better right up to the point when you calm down. - Zehn
My laptop does that; it's the fan on mine. If I shut it down and let it cool off, it starts back up fine, but much jostling or intensive use can set it off again. - Jandy Stone
definitely a fan, but considering there are fans in the video card, power supply, and case, it could be one of many. easy to fix and easy to diagnose. just poke your ear in your case ;-) - Kevin Wells
More often than not, its the case fan. Those fans are usually quite cheap and easily get clogged up with dust - Robert Kloosterhuis
