They are the easiest to use, always work and you just throw them away when you are done. I would use glue traps.

They seem to live under our dishwasher, I have set traps with peanut butter right next to the dishwasher and have managed to catch them in the act of eating the peanut butter on the trap without disturbing the trigger. Is it because they are so small and light that there is not enough pressure on the trigger to set the mousetrap off? What should I do? Stacey Hi,

If I did that here, I would get looks of "are you serious?" And then they would bring up the time I mentioned a famous author named Upton Sinclair who wrote "The Jungle." They had never heard of him, or the the book, and therefore thought me insane for calling him famous. :) Fantastic.

I use a wallpaper at work that I took from my Atari emulator. It's from the demo, it has the spinning, rainbow Atari symbol and the animated bird flying by. Beneath it it says, "8-Bit Power!" I get a lot of comments on it, I'll send you a copy. Can we please play Ali-Baba when I come back out this fall?

I had that printer when I was in college in the early 80s, and used it with my Atari 400 computer. I used it for all my term papers. I remember it had a short life and stopped working before I was finished with it. It made great letter quality documents though. Wow! An Atari 1027.

The reason I have to use a bottle is the fact that you wake up and its freezing outside and your parked on a ramp in the middle of nowhere, you learn to keep a bottle outside. Just for the record I empty these bottles before disposing of them. The emptying is done in non traffic areas in grass or dirt. On a typical regular pee I can get a 1 liter bottle to the top of the label.

]]> Comment on What does Chrome mean for IT? by Joe http://www.erinat.com/blog/?p=691&cpage=1#comment-204326 Joe Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:28:15 +0000 http://www.erinat.com/blog/?p=691#comment-204326 I think Chrome is awesome. However, there are a couple things that need to happen before it replaces my firefox install. First, it only works on windows. Over half of our IT department now uses Macs and that number is growing. Second, the web developer plugin does more for debugging than any tool I've seen. If Chrome can let us traverse that kind of info easily within the browser, then I'd be happy to hop over and start using it for development. I agree that it is something that we need to test in, however. Good thing it pretty much acts like Safari for rendering content! Peace! I think Chrome is awesome.
