TheBroken Subliminal Message?
We're all awaiting the next episode of TheBroken, but is the crew trying to tell us something? Near the end of the promo, you'll see a flash of a very familiar plant...

Maddox
Wow, Maddox's latest rant is especially hurtful. I love this guy and I agree with (almost) everything he writes, but damn.
Screw it, right after I finish blogging I'm going to listen to the newest podcast on my iPod.

Galvanize
To start it off, the song of the week and possibly the summer is Chemical Brothers - Galvanize.
Ok, let's see... I hate to say I told you so, but podcasts have run rampant. C'mon, you know it's mainstream when iTunes has implemented it... Wait, who told you about podcasts?
There's a new podcast from Kevin Rose, Alex Albrecht. It's a weekly podcast covering digg.com and the most popular links of the week. Today they released the video version on their new site Diggnation. Wait, how did you guys hear about digg?
I guess I can release another gem that I found. From the Shadows is a great site/vidcast that I've been following since the beginning. If you like 'the broken' and Yoshi, you'll like FTS. Also, if you've heard anything about hacking traffic lights/crosswalk signals you might want to tune into the next episode of FTS.
Alright, since I got the tech stuff out of the way, I'll post again soon about some more stuff ("About Foltsie").
Once again... who do you rely on for interesting tech news? Not foltsie...

Funniest website ever.
I have to post this. I am sitting here at work balling my eyes out laughing. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. A little warning, this will not be funny unless you've worked in Tech Support. If you have, get ready to laugh...

OVERLOAD!!!
Holy crap! I think someone must've read my blog last week when I complained about my weekly podcasts! Those fuggers decided to overload me! Ok, Mondays is back, phew. TWiT decides to make up for last week and drop TWO episodes in friggin 24 hours! Damn Leo, get some sleep! So that's over three hours of podcasts that I'm in for. To top it off, my ultra-fav website ZUG decides to plop onto the podcasting scene! Man, I need some coffee!
Oh yeah, I won $50 from this. Scroll down about 75% and you'll have proof. Yep my name is foltsie!

Fri Fri Fri Fri FRIDAY!
Yes it is Friday. I am happy.
Although happy, I am slightly annoyed at the same time. A ticket just arrived in the ATG queue. Now anyone who has worked for customer service/help desk can feel me on this one.
Problem Description: User cannot access a link.
Ok, can you get any more vague than that?! It's actually refreshing seeing these types of tickets being in the position that I'm in. Simple solution is... the 'Assign To:' button. This ticket is on its way down the ladder. Low level support will have to deal with this one. Yes, this college graduate is actually in higher level support.
I remember the days of low level support. From my 'internship' here at Stanley last summer, to ITS. Trying to help the most computer illiterate, incompetent losers on the planet really got to me. So I never showed up to work...
Wow, while typing this, another great ticket came into my queue:
Problem Description: User cannot connect to network. Helpdesk unable to grant access.
Ok, my job is to support the web applications that we develop. If a user can't connect to the network, THEY CAN'T USE OUR WEB APPS!!! Down the ladder...
Ok, I'm done talkin about work. I finally got around to watching this past Sunday's Family Guy. I laughed my ass off. The few episodes prior to this one were a little sub-par in my book, but this one had me crying. Speaking of TV, HBO cancelled Carnivale?! I didn't even get through the first season.
The new Systm website is finally up, go check it out!
Time to go back to the wonderful world of Mr. Web Support Technician!

Where they at, where they atttt?
Where the hell are my weekly podcasts?! Mondays decided to take a week off... No sign of TWiT, apparently their FTP server died so the twits can't send their audio to the Master Chief Twit to edit. C'mon guys, ever hear of Drop Load or YouSendIt?! Or even GMail!
Randomness:
- For some reason Oops I Crapped My Pants! just popped into my head and I can't stop cracking up.
- How awesome is this ring?!
- I forgot to mention that Dane Cook is coming out with a new CD/DVD combo. I preordered that shit last Tuesday. He says that the first 3000 people that pre-order it get a special gift from him!!!
- 30 Days is a really good show!
