I’m in the process of making a major overhaul to this website so things might be a little glitchy for a while. If you find any broken or weird links, please let me know. Domo!

Appliance Tip of the Day: Appliance Service Calls
I’ve always had a bushy head of hair and I usually don’t bother trimming my beard. So, this is how I used to look when I’d go out for a service call:
But I started thinking maybe I was scaring my customers. Little things, like I go up to the house and knock on the door and they’d answer with a shotgun in their hands. So, I figgered I better git me a hair cut and now I look like this:
And would you believe that when I go out on service calls, I still get people answering the door armed!? That’s what I love about this bidness–there’s just no telling what people will do!
Forum Update
The forum came back up around 12:15am this morning. We’ll see how long it stays up. 
Appliance Tip of the Day: Ohm’s Law
Here’s a handy Ohm’s Law chart that lays out all the different electrical relationships between current, voltage, resistance, and power.
Now, here’s the amazing part: all these different relationships flow from these two simple equations:
E=I*R
and
P=E*I
Ain’t that some weird, wild, wacky stuff?

Live Help Schedule for Wednesday, July 10, 2002
Won’t be on for live help at all during the day, maybe a little bit late evening. It’s going to be a stellar day for hiking tomorrow so I’m heading off to the White Mountains, do a little kicking around on the Franconia Ridge, Mts. Lafayette, Lincoln, Little Haystack.
Happy Fixing!

Well, that was mercifully short! I guess whoever tripped over the plugged finally got up and plugged it back in. The Samurai School of Appliantology is now open.

The forum was up and running again yesterday and all today up ’till now. As of this post, the slEZBoard network, on which the forum lives, is down.

Now you can get help from the Master Technician while repairing your appliances! This nifty little book features more than 10 full-color icons of the greatest technicians to ever walk the planet. And the prayers are all 100% guaranteed*!
* Guaranteed to be the same prayers used by all Patriarchates of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Batteries not included.
Sheeple
If you’re one of the 75% of the sheeple who would surrender your freedom to Big Brother so you can feel “safe,”
YOU SUCK!

Ok, at least ol’ slEZ was on top of it enough to put broadcast an announcement of their network trouble to all slEZBoards. Gotta give ’em credit for that. Or maybe not. But at least they acknowledge the problem and are working to fix it so I can stop wondering if anyone’s home.

Ok, now it’s slEZBoard’s turn to shit the bed. It’s down for the count, baby–I can’t get into the forum at all. Can’t even get into the slEZBoard help forums, which are always up unless the bowels of slEZBoard let go unexpectedly. Hey, that makes it full-circle with all out-sourced web service providers, Blogger, TagBoard, and now slEZBoard, each suffering internet incontinence. That can only mean one thing: my web host, Bluedomino, is next. Stand by for total appliance blackout! Talk to you on the other side of the tunnel.
Sneaky Papists are still at it, poaching on the Orthodox like they always have. Oh, the humanity!
Live Help Schedule for Monday, July 8, 2002
I’ll be online for live help later this afternoon and throughout most of the evening. Party on!
If it walks like a duck…
Let’s see, it’s the 4th of July, an Egyptian whack-job shoots up some people at an Israeli airline at LAX but, OH NO, it ain’t terrorism! If you’re stupid enough to believe the Ameedican gubmint’s party line, please go pour yourself a nice, tall glass of puss.
