First the complaints. Recently, our fine institution revamped its websites, from the main page to the libraries to the directory search function. Guess what? Functionality to the toilet. I should never have complained before about the online databases automatically logging me out and losing all my search items, because now, well, gee, now, I can't even get into the fucking databases. The pages are so slow to load, and I'm on my third page (third!) database entry page, and this is even before logins. [head slap] Oh, and the directory doesn't work either. If I need to find someone across campus, I use google.
So, instead of reading scholarly journals, as I wait for the multiple entry pages to load I am reading from the internets instead.
Oh wait! The last entry page loaded now, and it's barely readable! All the text is shoved to the right half of the page. [head slappity slap] But now, trying to log in, the connection is refused when trying to put in my university ID. Jesus fucking christ on a crutch.
OK, links away:
Anti-immigrant=Anti-business: Hope you didn't want any tomatoes in your salad this summer.
Ah unfettered capitalism! I'm having a flashback to middle school English class.
Why do some non-smokers get lung cancer (and some smokers don't get it)? Tobacco works with genes. And guess what... the same genes that activate the lung cancer also make the smokers more addicted, and less likely to quit. There's a nice little piece of evolution for you.
And, Sharon Stone has a cute dog.
