Watch my
cam right now. They are cutting the fire escape off today and you can see the sparks flying past.

The fire fallout continues. Starting next week they will be replacing the fire escape. Unfortunately the room I use for my office/den/computer-room is the one against the fire escape. Today I'm going to have to try and move things around today to clear the wall they will need access to.
I'm really not enthused about this at all.

So
cheaza had a link to
this Sex and the City charity auction and now I've gone and bid on
this item. It's Mr. Big's suit. It's a black Hugo Boss suit and it's exactly my size! If I win it's domestic shipping only so I'll need a U.S. address to ship it to (*hint* *hint*
bitogoth), but
fuck - it's Mr. Big's suit! I was planning to buy a new suit so I have money in the budget for this... If I win this I'm stealing
saturnina's idea and having a "Sex and the City" cocktail party.

Periodically throughout the day I take a peek at my web logs just to keep tabs on things and make sure everything is working right. Today I noticed a peculiar number of hits against one of my pictures from
New York on
Elaine's site, but against her old (now redirected) URL. The only way that can happen is if someone has the image embedded in their web page. So I looked at the referrer and found it was coming from

For a moment I thought about just leaving a comment about it, but then I decided to have a little fun at the wanking bandwidth thief's expense.
