Linux desktop
Mandriva 3D Desktop is fantastic. I'm going to dedicate my XP machine to that and run Vista for now on my new machine. There are still important applications which are windows-only. I highly recommend trying out Mandriva at least on a DVD boot.

Home publishing macro available
Recently I completed writing a Visual BASIC macro (for MSWord 2003) which is useful for DIY bookmakers. This code is available to anyone who would be interested.
The input for the code is a text file such as those freely obtainable from Project Gutenberg or the user's self-authored manuscript. The user chooses the size of the signatures; further manipulation requires adjustment of the source code. There is little to no error checking included; it's a bare bones operation.
The output is formatted to print two columns (separated by the gutter) on each side of typical 8 -1/2" x 11" sheets of copy paper. Before printing, illustrations and additional formatting tweaks can be added. When printed, the sheets can then be folded and assembled into signatures and bound.
The macro is very easy to use and comes with a page of instructions for clarification.

Zucchini out the wazoo
Zucchini is coming out the wazoo! Time to learn how to bake zucchini bread before my family is buried in them. Rivka is becoming an accomplished chef. She has made challot, cookies, and "chocolate snowballs" without any assistance. Maybe I can get HER to make the z-bread.

Pinchas' favorite beers

Current "squeeze": Blue moon Belgian White (even though made by Coors)
Other good beers are: Leinenkugel Red, Labatt's Blue, Samuel Adams (original), Moosehead
Crappy beers (to ME): Guinness, Coors, Killians, and all cheap American beer, lite beer which is heavy on the corn.
It must be noted however that a crappy beer is better than NO beer.

Some nice comic strips
I recently discovered the Jewish comic strip Shabot 6000 by Ben Baruch. I highly recommend this original strip. It seems to me like a gone-frum combination of Dilbert and Maakies, one of my favorite (black comedy) strips. To anyone who has the stomach for it, I'd recommend Maakies as well.

Beware troll....
Leah has unwittingly blown her cover by posting my photo on the slanderous blog. The photo was taken with her camera; therefore she cannot deny complicity in the slander. Maybe her rap sheet will have another tic mark on it: leah kleim, leah kleim is the devil
In a Bill signed into law this week it prohibits using a false identity to otherwise annoy, slander, libel or harass anyone on the Internet. Some who are posters on Blogs decry this because they say that that it is a violation of free speech, unfair and it should not be a Federal Crime.
Indeed interesting comments. Yet chances are we have all be slandered and libeled on the Internet by vindictive, nut cases. If we own companies, we have had competitors do this. Most often someone will make up something and make a fake name and try to destroy your brand name, personal integrity out of jealousy, competitiveness or simply spite.

----- leah kleim suffers from bipolar disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. psychoLeah is another form of predator: the extortion junkie. She told me that she plans to make a lot of money smearing Chabad. One big rabbi even asked her "how much money will it take to remove your blog?" Leah's response? "$100,000". She says that the rabbi claimed he would get back to her on that. This does not imply guilt on the part of the offended party; this implies slander. Some people are able and willing to pay out big to stop smear campaigns like that.
She also told me that she plans to make money by suing those who use her feaux "company's" name, "ShtickDreck.com". One cannot blame Leah for her hardship. She is 30 years old, a mother with three kids, involved in a troubled marriage, and she doesn't work. Will she extort her husband as well?

This is obviously the basis for the slander against me. She plans to earn cash by smearing me. Ain't gonna happen. And there's plenty of evidence against her in this slander case, not to mention a rap sheet the size of Florida (hmmm....why did I choose Florida?).
