• A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. 'Human beings are the only animals that stutter', she says.

A little girl raises her hand 'I had a kitty-cat who stuttered', she volunteered.

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

'Well', she began, 'I was in the back yard with my kitty and the rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!'

'That must've been scary', said the teacher.

'It sure was', said the little girl. 'My kitty raised his back, went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'...

............and before he could say ' fuck off' , the Rottweiler ate him'!

• A class of five-year old schoolchildren return to the classroom after playing in the playground during their break time.

The teacher says to the first child 'Hello Becky, what have you been doing this Playtime?'

Becky replies 'I have been playing in the sand box.'

'Very good,' says the teacher 'if you can spell 'sand' on the

blackboard, I will give you a cookie.'

Becky duly goes and writes 's a n d' on the blackboard.

'Very good,' says the teacher and gives Becky a cookie.

The teacher then says, 'Freddie, what have you been doing in your playtime?'

Freddie replies, 'Playing with Becky in the sand box.'

'Very good,' says the teacher, 'if you can spell 'box' on the blackboard, I will also give you a cookie.'

Freddie duly goes and writes 'b o x' on the blackboard.

'Very good,' says the teacher and gives Freddie a cookie.

Teacher then says, 'Hello Mohammed, have you been playing in the sand box with Becky and Freddie?'

'No,' replies Mohammed, 'I wanted to, but they would not let me. Every time I went near them they started throwing sand at me, calling me nasty names and asking to see under my jacket in case I had explosives.'

'Oh dear,' says the teacher, 'that sounds like blatant racial discrimination to me - I'll tell you what, if you can spell 'blatant racial discrimination' I will give you a cookie.'

Springnote, Web Book & Revenge Toilet Paper

• Advanced Online Note Taking Made Easy

Springnote is a Wiki based online note taking utility.

Sounds simple and that's what it is. But even though it's simple, it's far from being simplistic! Springnote doesn't come short in features, yet remains easy to use because all of the functions are useful and smart and ordered in a plain way, instantly making you feel comfortable using them.

Springnote supports OpenID, which you can read about in Dave's article OpenID Overview and Four Awesome Providers.

Once you've signed in and clicked the button to create a new note, you will first pick your Springnote URL and title, accept the Terms of Service, and pick a template for your notes. When picking a template, you will start out with several pages (notes) containing preset templates. For example when you pick the template For Study, your Springnote account will come with a profile page, a monthly calendar, a to do list, a class timetable, and several more pages. You can as well start out with no template and add them as you go, since you'll be able to pick a template whenever creating a new page.

So here you are, ready to take your first notes. Writing is straight forward. Just click into the document, type and use the standard text editor to give your notes the final touches. Via Insert you can attach files or insert pictures up to 20MB per file, and if you forgot to select a template, here is where you get to pick or change it anytime. Through the Menu, notes can be printed, shared, published, exported and downloaded as HTML. You can Upload documents with up to 5MB, the supported formats are doc, odt, txt and html. Several Plug-ins, for example to create a calendar, list of subpages, and a list of contents are available through Add-ons. Linked pages and Subpages will automatically appear in the Related pages section at the bottom of each note. To easily track down notes, Enter tags.

In the left hand menu all Recent Updates are shown, pages can be organized via drag&drop in the All Pages tab, you can follow your Tags, and view Shared Pages. The right hand side holds your bookmarks, i.e. sites you want to access quickly. You can colour code your bookmarks with five different colours.

Nothing much remains to be said, without going into painful details. I will let you discover the beauty of Springnote on your own. But let me tell you, there are so many neat details to be found, the design is beautiful and not a single feature appears superfluous. [via MakeUseOf]

 

• Directory Monitor

One way to ensure that files do not get modified is to monitor certain directories for changes and write those changes to a log. It would then be easy to see if a file had been changed in the past since starting the monitoring. It does not really prevent file modifications but can provide valuable information nevertheless.

Directory Monitor is a simply application that can monitor folders for one or multiple of the following four events: File additions, file modifications, file deletions and file renames. The user basically selects at least one folder to monitor and the events that he wants monitored in that folder.

The software supports local folders, network folders and even hidden shares. Specific file patterns can be excluded from being monitored. Excluding text files could be achieved by adding *.txt to the options of the application. The main problem here is that those excluded patterns are global patterns meaning they are active for all monitored folders.

The interval that is used to check directories for changes can be changed in the options as well. The default value is 180 seconds. One interesting feature is the import and export feature which makes it possible to export monitored folders and import them later on the same or another computer. [via gHacks]

• A cop was on his horse waiting to cross the street, when a little girl on her new shiny bike stopped beside him.
  'Nice bike,' the cop said. 'Did Santa bring it to you?'
  'Yes Sir,' the little girl said, 'he sure did!'
  The cop looked the bike over and handed the girl a $5 ticket for a safety violation. The cop said, 'Next year, tell Santa to put a reflector light on the back of it!'
  The young girl looked up at the cop and said, 'Nice horse you've got there Sir. Did Santa bring it to you?'
  Playing along with the girl, he chuckled and answered, 'Yes, he sure did!'

  'Darned if I know,' he said, 'but this morning my sister was missing one, my mom fainted, my dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Air Force.'

• Motorized suitcase saves you a lot of trouble and a lot in medical bills

If you have ever spent your back lugging large suitcase around, this all new motorized suitcase should really interest you a great deal. Created by a small UK company called Live Luggage, the power-assisted (PA) case features special motors in each of its wheels that can make even 65 pounds worth of luggage feel as light as only 6.5 pounds. What's even better is that the adjustable anti-gravity handle on the bags let the wheels bear over 85 percent of the weight which, coupled with the 'force sensors' make the motor move automatically who you're not left placing all that stress on your back or arms. With relatively large and solid "pan-cake" wheels placed far forward, tugging the luggage on even the most uneven surfaces becomes quiet a breeze while some super confidential security features make your bag nearly hack and thief proof.

But, the best part about this design has got be the stunning motors that that run on a 12v NiMH battery that can last for about two hours and one and three-quarters of a mile on a single charge. At $1,300, the Live Luggage PA suitcase is sure not cheap but considering the medical bills it will help you save, I'd say it's quite a bargain at the end of the day! [via Born Rich] Ed. Thing of the cig packets you could shift with these beauties!!!

I'm trying to juggle all the bits and pieces when I noticed I'd been short changed by Bt100. I simple said to the cashier that there was a problem with my change and he instantly pulls another Bt100 from the till. I never mentioned the amount but he knew to give me another Bt100. Simply put, if you are a farang and don't check your bills and change then you are going to get done.

• Sweet time had by all. - Mr Cadbury and Miss Rowntree met on a Double Decker, it was After Eight. She was from Quality Street , he was a Fisherman's Friend.
  On the way they stopped at a Yorkie Bar, he had a Rum and Butter, she had a Wine Gum. He asked her name, "Polo, I'm the one with the hole" she said.
  "I'm the one with the nuts," he thought! Then he touched her Milky Way.
  They checked in to a hotel, and went straight to the bedroom. Mr Cadbury turned out the light for a bit of Black Magic.
  It wasn't long before he slipped his hand into her Snickers and felt her Cream Egg. He fondled her Flap Jacks then he showed her his Curly Wurly and Tic Tacs.
  Miss Rowntree wasn't keen to have any Jelly Babies, so she let him take a trip down Bourneville Boulevard via her Party Ring. He was pleased as he always fancied a bit of Fudge. It was a magic moment as she let out a scream of Turkish Delight.
  When he pulled out, his fun size Mars Bar it felt a bit Crunchie. She wanted more, but he needed Time Out, however, he noticed her Pink Wafers looked very appetizing. He did a Twirl, had a Picnic in her Sherbet Dip and finished off by giving her a Gob Stopper!
  Unfortunately, Mr Cadbury then had to go home to his wife, Caramel. Sadly,3 days later his Magnum lolly started to drip. It turned out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Basset who had Allsorts!!!
  

• A very successful business man was dining in a very posh restaurant with his wife. Suddenly a beautiful young girl came up to him, leant over, gave him a kiss and said, "when you have taken your aunt home George, come around to the flat". With that the girl swept out of the restaurant. "Who in the hell was that?" asked the wife." "That was my mistress" he replied. "Your bloody mistress? Right! Tomorrow I go and see my lawyer and sue for divorce", I'll give you bloody mistress!" By now people in the restaurant were looking at them. " Shhh. Lower your voice please." He said. "�k, you see your lawyer. You take me for whatever you want, but think about this. You have a very good life. Out to lunch whenever you want with the girls. Accounts at the best stores in town. A chauffer driven can 24/7 at your call. Then of course there is the summer home and the yacht. Now will you be able to afford all that on your own, even with half my money? One thing I can tell you is that whatever you get, I will have made it up in a year. My life will continue my life as it is now." Just then a another middle aged man walked into the restaurant with a dolly on his arm. The wife stared. "That's David your partner, who is the woman on his arm? she asked. "That is his mistress. All successful men have a mistress."he said. After a moment of contemplation the wife smiled, patted her husbands hand and said, "She's not as nice as ours George".

Geeks

• 5 Essential Firefox 3 Add-ons - While it is definitely true that some add-ons get a wider coverage and more downloads than others it is still a fact that each Firefox user had his own share of add-ons that he considers essential. This can be mostly attributed to different motives in using Firefox. A web developers is using a different set of add-ons than someone who loves to surf on video portals or social networks.

There is still some common ground, add-ons that are used by most of the Firefox community, or at least the part that knows that add-ons are available to extent the browser. Most users would call them essential but there will be some who will question the addition of one or the other add-on in the list.

The list contains some brand new add-ons like the Searchery add-on that can only be downloaded if the user has an account at Mozilla. Most will probably be known by most of you but I have added some that will be new as well.

• Adblock Plus - This one blocks lots of advertisements and although I make my living from those I recommend this add-on. It's possible to add websites to a white list which means that ads on that site will not be blocked. I do that for websites that I like so that they earn from my visits.
• Edit Middle 2 - The awesome bar (location bar) in Firefox 3 is not typo friendly. If you happen to write mozzilla instead of mozilla you will not get results in the bar if you remove the second z in the misspelled word. This add-on corrects that behavior.
• No Script - No Script is installed in my secure Firefox profile. It basically removes scripts from any site that is not in the white list.
• Searchery - Searchery adds Google search to the Firefox location bar which means that it is possible to get rid of the search bar in the right if Google is your main search engine.
• Video DownloadHelper - Probably the best video downloader for Firefox. It supports many websites and uses a general detection routine which means it works on pretty much any video portal. [via gHacks]

 

• Sidenote Is a Universal, Unobtrusive Note Drawer [Featured Mac Download]

Mac OS X only: Donationware application Sidenote adds an unobtrusive sidebar to your Mac desktop for taking and organizing multiple rich text notes. Under normal circumstances, Sidenote takes up a couple of pixels on the edge of your screen (though you can make it completely invisible in the Preferences), so it doesn't take any space until you need it. You can invoke Sidenote by either hovering your mouse over that edge or with the user-definable keyboard shortcut. In fact, virtually every aspect of the program is accessible via a keyboard shortcut, which any keyboard lover can appreciate. The application manages multiple notes, prints, emails, and exports notes, and is almost entirely customisable. Sidenote is donationware, Mac OS X only. [via Lifehacker]

 

• Read It Later Adds Firefox 3 Integration, Offline Reading 
  Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): To-read manager Read It Later, a free Firefox extension we've previously covered, has updated for Firefox 3 in a big way.

The bigger news might be a one-click "Read Offline" tool that downloads local versions of your reading list URLs for non-connected reading. There's lots more updates and features, so hit the link below to install and see what's new. Read It Later is a free download, works wherever Firefox does. [via Lifehacker]

There was a time that I would go out in the sun and never ever burn.  Then I started working from home and well, now I burn to a crisp.  I burned in the car, thankfully my car has a sun roof so its an even burn.  Frankly even before I started burning I should have been a bit more worried about sunblock and UV rays due to skin cancer or not wanting to turn into the raisin lady.  If you're not sure what the raisin lady is, thats the person who has baked themselves to a shrivelled crisp, year round, since they were five.  Once they hit 35 their skin has turned to this weird not so natural skin texture.   Now if they ever grew a brain and decided to be careful in the sun this little gadget is definitely the way to do it.

To be perfectly honest I don't really know how much sunblock is optimal, when to reapply or what it means when there are high UV rays.  Well this UV monitor doesn't just tell you the UV rays are particularly vicious today.  You program in your skin type the SPF of the sunscreen you slathered on and it will begin a timer for you.  It lets you know when you need to reapply your sunblock.  Be careful in the water with this bad boy though, it is splash proof but I wouldn't go diving into the depths of the ocean with it on your wrist.  It is being sold for about $48 or �24.99.

News

•  Pattaya Beer Garden opens from 10.00am and has free wi-fi access and legal smoking. Like the first not so sure about the second. If they have to have a designated smoking area maybe they could hang a one-way only plank off the rear end of the bar. 

 

• Pattaya was hit by a tropical downpour last night and the usual blackspots like Soi Buakhao and Pattaya Tai were completely flooded. One unlucky British tourist was killed in a freak accident from an electric shock when wading through flood waters to return his room at the D & D Hotel.

• There have been a couple of farang deaths by drug overdose lately and it got me to thinking about the quality of the goods being consumed by Yabba and Ice fans here in Thailand. Is there a world kite mark on drugs? Can a tourist safely assume that 'E' in Thailand is the same quality as 'E' in Europe? Seems to me like consumers place a bit too much faith in the integrity of local suppliers. Rather them than me.

Humour

• An honest acceptance speech

• Mick met Paddy in the street and said, 'Paddy, will you draw your curtains before making love to your wife in future?'

Why?' Paddy asked.

'Because,' said Mick,'the entire street was laughing when they saw you making love yesterday.'

'Silly buggers,' says Paddy, 'the laugh's on them. I wasn't home yesterday.'

• A cowboy is driving down a back road in Texas. A sign in front of a restaurant reads:

  HAPPY HOUR SPECIAL Lobster Tail and Beer

  'Lord almighty' he says to himself, 'my three favourite things!!'

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on holiday. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.

The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a 'drop dead gorgeous' blonde in a skimpy bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them, she smiled and said 'Good Morning, Father ~ Good Morning, Father,' nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?

So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them! Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine.

After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a different coloured skimpy bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said 'Good morning, Father ~ Good morning, Father,' and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, 'Just a minute, young lady.' 'Yes, Father?' 'We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?' ? She replied, 'Father, it's me,............ Sister Kathleen!' ?
