Bonus: Google Chrome OS

Published in Webcomic on November 19th, 2009 3:13 pm

Me: Whoa, Google just had a webcast on their new Google Chrome OS. Euroboy: So, what makes it special? Me: Everything! To start with, it's free and opensourced. So, if you have a problem on boot, it just downloads a new version and reimages itself. Me: The system files are on a separate partition that’s read only, and all user data is encrypted by default. Plus, all your files are synced with the web. Me: Oh, and they talked about implementing a cool W3C notification standard in not just Chrome OS, but also in the Chrome browser. Very Cool! Euroboy: I have just two questions: How much does it cost? And will it run MS Office? Me: You... don't... get it, at all.

Bonus: 2012 Y2K

Published in Webcomic on November 19th, 2009 6:00 am

Me: Hawk, Nightingale, Raven, Swan. Euroboy: I've been reading up on all this 2012 stuff. Me: Here we go again... Euroboy: Seriously, I think we're going to have first contact with an alien species. Me: I have a theory. Euroboy: Ooo! Let's hear it. Me: I think it's a Y2K problem. For various reasons, they arbitrarily decided not to calculate their calendars beyond 2012. Euroboy: That's not very exciting. Me: The truth rarely is.

26: New Hobbies

Published in Webcomic on November 17th, 2009 6:00 am

Me: I'm depressed. I think I need a new hobby. Cowboy Wash.: You should knit a Mario themed scarf! Me: Nah, I don't want to spend time learning something new. Cowboy Wash.: How about basketball! You could put up a hoop. Me: Ha, good idea, but I don't want to spend any money either. Cowboy Wash.: Photography? Me: Requires too much daylight. Besides I'm looking for something that I can do at home. Cowboy Wash.: Okay, you got me. I actually think I'm depressed now. Me: Oh, I'm starting to feel much better. Thanks!

25: Ethernet Outlet

Published in Webcomic on November 15th, 2009 3:34 pm

Me: I spent about 3 hours this morning running an ethernet outlet from my router to my PS3. Cowboy Wash.: Great idea, wireless gaming is way too unreliable. Me: Yea, I did a real nice job on the jack behind the TV. It looks very professional. Cowboy Wash.: Sweet! Are you up and playing? Me: Well, no. I don't actually have a PS3 yet--but it's at the top of my Christmas wishlist! Cowboy Wash.: Well, at least, you're prepared for once you do get it. Me: Um... Nope. I didn't manage to get the other end pulled down to my router... Me: Any chance you can come over and give me a hand?

I’ll admit it, I’m a quitter, but I bet you didn’t see this one coming.
