Computer = Frenchfry.

THE funniest computer support call I have ever gotten, and possibly one of the most hillarious things ever said to me (or my voicemail) period, rediscovered during the rescue of a failing harddrive. Now in glorious mp3 for your listening pleasure.

The mp3 of DOOM.

CNN: Philadelphia schools ban soda sales; Snapple, Inc. President Cackles Evilly.

Holy Crap! My Name is a Narsty Porn Site

So every few months or so I tend to google for my various handles and names to make sure that I'm not showing up anywhere I don't want to. Eskiff is the username I'm given almost everywhere since there aren't that many other "Skiffs".

Usually, googling for my full name or that handle just turns up usenet posts from a lot of other geeks with the same handle (which I'm sure helped when I was "background checked" applying for a job. Sometimes they really do just google for you name. There's an Eric Skiff who was a boozing frat guy who almost got me in trouble!), and if you scroll waaaaaay down, you might eventually find the geocities site or the dansmusic archive that held my musicals. (Don't ask.)
