You know when you channel surf looking for something different and come across something with a weird or different title? Well that has happened to me tonight. Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling

Hulk Hogan has taken 10 celebrities, that include Frank Stallone (Sly’s brother), Dennis Rodman, Danny Bonaduce, Butterbean, Tiffany (the singer from the 80s), Screech, Tabitha from the original Bewitched and others, and will teach them to wrestle. Assisting Hogan will be Jimmy Hart “The Mouth of the South”, Erik Bishoff, Brutus Beefcake and Brian Knobs.

Man, this is like one of those sick dreams that you get from watching too much tv and think “well what about this for a tv show”, then you quickly dismiss it because it’s bad, then it happens. Just plain craziness.

Just wow.

Ladies and gentlemen, Microsoft is releasing a new version of their operating system. A follow up to Vista. It’ll slice, it’ll dice, it’ll…. okay, maybe not all that, but it will be called… Windows 7! That’s right, it’s called Windows 7. Not Windows XP Senior, not Windows Viva la Vista, not Windows 2012; simply Windows 7. Microsoft decided to drop the special names and date name scheme because they felt it just didn’t work anymore, and I agree. As noted in the article, the date naming didn’t match the release time, similar to Madden games being dated 1 year ahead, based on stats 1 year behind; bad EA. And they also said they didn’t want to come up with the “aspirational” name either. I agree with this move as well. It’s easier for people to deal with just a number associated to a software. It’s bad enough you have multiple versions of the OS that don’t really stand out that well at the end of the name like Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Home Ultimate, Vista Business, Vista yada yada. It’s just frustrating. A number tells the story better and in fewer words, “You need this version of better”.

The new OS will improve upon Vista, and will be available to devs in beta version soon. Honestly, I think Microsoft needs to slow down on all these releases. I’ve been using Vista for just about 18 months. These turn around cycles don’t allow for sufficient time to work out the kinks properly and to include the features that people want if you don’t allow for proper feedback. Vista has probably one of the worst releases of any Microsoft OS due to the number of issues with stability and support at launch time. Most of the issues have been resolved, but I still have some issues with my OS running a 64 bit platform. Stabilize the OS before you go off and work on something new, because if you haven’t fixed your current OS by the time you work on the new one, aren’t you carrying over the issues and bugs I’m experiencing?

I’m sure the motiviation for this is money, and to help push the transition to the new platform for all the businesses who said no to Vista. Look, if you get it working better, you will see the move.

Blah, I’m done on this topic. Time to go back to my command line interface on linux.

I just had to post this.

I noticed recently that my version of WinTabber, version 0.232 was no longer the current version. I decided to download the new version that was available, and what a surprise. Putty now comes with WinTabber.

This is great. I’m using putty and wintabber daily to work on and manage a number of linux machines. It makes organizing all these windows efficient, and I don’t have to spend the money on

Some other new features to note:

• Tab placement: allows you to position the tabs to either the Top, left side, right side or bottom.
• Tab appearances: give you the option to style your tabs, either as a flat look, visio style, excel style and more.
• Color coding the tabs for easy identification.
• Will read your old putty profiles for easier access.
• large icon support.

This morning I was in the kitchen and had the radio on, and heard this song come on. The chorus of the song was the Numa Numa Dance chorus. I was like “WTF???”. It had a little more techno feel to it. Then the song continued with more of it, and just thought, “seriously… the numa song?!!?”. The song is a hip-hop song. Oh boy. At the end of the song I’m asking myself, who the hell is this, they must be retarded for using that numa hook…. It’s Rihanna and T.I.

People. If you’re going to do a song, don’t grab a song from the internet! Sheesh, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! Next, I bet Rihanna and T.I. are going to make song using part of Chocolate Rain. “Yo I move away from the mic so I can breath.” People, stop the insanity, don’t make crappy songs! You are destorying what we have left of the music quality. I don’t care what you do with the words, it sucks!

I came across these links on webmonkey.com today. SearchEngineRapBattle.com has these battle raps of the search engines. Yes, you read that right. This is some funny shit!

Yep, Stallone wants to do another Rambo movie. The latest Rambo movie in the franchise was a cross of action, killing lots of asian military personnel, making a social commentary, and Rambo returns home. Who knows what this movie will be about, but Stallone.

Yeah, I got nothing to say about this one.

IBM’s DeveloperWorks has a great article on using Vim. It covers alot of commands and a number of the special features in Vim. Check it out.

I came across this article on fool.com that starts off with P. Diddy flying commercial because the fuel for his jet is getting too expensive.

“[R]ight now, can you believe it, I am actually flying commercial,” he explained. “That’s how high gas prices are, OK? So I feel you.” Then came the solution, as Combs pleaded, “I want to give a shout out to all my Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters and all my brothers and sisters from all the countries that have oil, if you could all please send me some oil for my jet, I would truly appreciate it.”

Yep, that’s what he said. I wonder how much money he has in the bank. Anyways, the article goes on to talk about it’s not so much about the price of oil, but more about our spending habits, and how we look to buy material things. This country is probably the biggest consumer of products in the world. The problem is, we’re greedy for things. Big houses, big cars, big everything. “I have a friend who has a 42 inch tv, now I want the 46 inch tv.” I think we’re all guilty of this, including myself. When I go to someone’s house and see an HDTV I usually ask what size is it, and does it do 1080P. Yeah, it’s pretty bad, but it’s so ingrained in our society it’s ridiculous. Foruntely I still drive a crappy car so I don’t have a monthly payment touring the town.

Ok, that’s all I wanted to rant about. Save that money!
