Any notoriety is good. It may, someday, get you on "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here" for example.

And we will be able to vote for you. Or, is that against you? That part always confuses me.

What's the difference a restaurant critic and an IT professional? A restaurant critic doesn't think she's an IT professional. ;-P

If EL appeared on a reality show, they'd have to continually blur her face so we couldn't recognize her!

"We vote out the blurry person!"

I believe it would be ill-advised to respond to an outfit called SilkWise.Com for a "hard refresh". It sounds most improprietous, something that ,say, my Books & Diversions club might host. Beware of web sites that require a "safe" word. Ta.

(Road testing the new icon that Leslie whipped up, replete with natty beard and crown.)

But, as an IT professional, I'm totally an expert on restaurant food .

(That is a spam site, and that is a particularly sneaky way of finding valid e-mail addresses, which can be sold for more than unverified e-mail addresses to spammers.)

Thanks for explaining the joke, Lissa.
:-P

It preys on people's egos.

Didn't you know, IT professionals know everything! ;-)

You got it, Anonymous. If Obama just did what we told him to do, the world would be perfect.

Dude, for the love of Pete, listen to the voices in your e-mail!

Since this post has no mention of food on it, I thought that this post would bring us back on track.
It is a link to an interesting page on "Build a Better Grilled Cheese Sandwich" complete with a yummy picture.

What do you mean no mention of food? What is butter, chopped liver? :-) EL

That sandwich does look good. Much better than the Indian buffet I just had. It was terrible - I could barely finish my second plate!

I hate buffets.

IT and food go hand-in-hand. Sometimes we need to get a little off topic.

Hard Refresh - - Isn't that a freezee pop?

EL, I think schmaltz works better than butter in chopped liver.

RayRay, I think Hard Refresh is Red Bull with vodka.

Since this post has no mention of food on it, I thought that this post would bring us back on track.

Uh, the topic is IT. Try to focus. You must be hungry. Have some Necco wafers

Dear Sandboxers:

Since it is beach week and we are leaving for Ocean City tomorrow, I was wondering if anyone could come up with a good place to stop either before the bridge or on the way. My wife is teaching a summer course at JHU and can't get away until after 5pm tomorrow so we will be in traffic probably all the way. We thought we might stop and get a bite to break the trip up. I guess getting to the beach could even be a separate topic!

Since Benny and Joon all reference to grilled cheese sandwiches leads to pretty girls in cotton dresses, irons and ironing boards.

As alternate realities go it's not so bad.

Earl, we recently ate at the Narrows Restaurant (just over the Kent Narrows bridge heading east) for the first time, and thought very highly of it. Don't know how hard it would be to get a table on a Friday evening.

All you have to do is hit CTRL-F5 on a PC or APPLE-R on a mac.

Seriously, I cannot believe that no one has mentioned that. You are decidedly not the authority ;)

In terms of clearing your cache (for a hard refresh), pressing ALT and F4 at the same time should do the trick.

Lord M, your cartouche is smashing. My compliments to Leslie.

Why thank you Lady Yummington. I will pass along your accolade to Leslie, he is in the smokehouse stringing up some grouse.

Thanks loads. CTRL-F5 does nothing.

ALT-F4 closes the browser window. Ha ha ha.

When I was in grad school I remember going into a computer room with IBM mainframe terminals. There was some really common command, I think CTRL-C to stop a program. I watched another grad student try to execute this not by holding down CTRL and then hitting C, but by trying to hit them simultaneously. Hilarious, like watching chicken trying to catch a fly. It took her at least ten tries to get it right. I saw other people do the same thing when trying to reboot a PC with CTRL-ALT-DEL with even funnier results.
