Mr. Bump on Dec 31st, 2008I Didn’t Have Any Milk So I Brought Cake
That was one of the first things I heard this morning after arriving to work. Funny stuff by El Sidekick.
Last Husker pick of the season. Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, FL. Clemson is a 2 point favorite. Take the points as the wrong team is favored. Nebraska 37 Clemson 20
Happy New Year!
P.S. Am I the only […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 30th, 2008Wanted: Information on the SSL certificate vulnerability
That was sarcasm. Its pert near impossible to go to any nerd site today and not read about it. My personal favorite was JJ’s. After a disappearing act for the better part of two months she comes out swinging for the fences. She really should write one of those “for dummies” books.
Tough to believe there […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 29th, 2008A Little Late To The Party
Evidentally I’m behind the times. I was kicking around the internet tonight and twice I came across a word that I had not previously noted in my previous endeavors…netbook. The first time I saw it I didn’t think much of it other than somebody must have meant to write “notebook.” Then the second time I […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 28th, 2008The Clothes Are On…Its Over!
A little Forgetting Sarah Marshall for you. Christmas is over…finally. I was so sick of Christmas by the time we got back in town yesterday. All decorations have already been boxed back up and the tree is down. Christmas be gone for another year.
This time of year is so slow. Productivity sinks, nerd news grinds […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 22nd, 2008If I Put My Clothes On, Its Over
Metaphor hunt…first one to bag a metaphor wins nothing.
Came across this Hardware is Cheap, Programmers are Expensive post today over at codinghorror.com. Anyone looking for a logical explination to server sprawl need not look any further. Why take the time to write optimized code when the advances in hardware can compensate? I think this is a big part of the […]

Good times. Good times. SSAATY and Andy, IT Guy have been in a good ol’ fashion cyber-slap fight over sales practices. Bout the only thing better is a good ol’ cat fight! Personally I’m with Andy on this one. I’ve never worked in an environment where the CIO wanted to be bothered with sales calls about things I’m […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 17th, 2008The Good, The Bad, The Emergency Patch
Its Britney, Bitch! Oops! …Microsoft did it again. They played with your browser. Got lost on the web. Oh, baby, baby.
Now that the worst intro ever to a post is behind us its probably not a mystery what this is going to be about. For the second time in less than two months an out-of-band, emergency update to patch a […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 16th, 2008Am I The Next Kanye?
Well, well, well…Alan over at SSAATY has announced the “Social Security Bloggers Awards.” Looks like there are five awards that are going to be handed out. Obviously bumpinthewire.com only qualifies for a few of them and even those are a stretch. Below are the categories…

Who is the voice you listen to week after […]
Mr. Bump on Dec 12th, 2008Six Degrees of Separation
A resting heart rate of 44 beats per minute is a mere 44 beats per minute from death. When Your Heart Stops Beating was the debut album from +44 and was also the name of the first single off that album. That might seem a little freaky if your resting heart rate was 44 bpm.
This […]
