<p>Going to start with a redesign, just not happy with it at the moment.</p>
<p>Then I'll be adding a new area for the diet I'm about to start. I suspect that area will get the most attention as I'll be blogging my diet as it happens in a style similar to Tyler over at <a href="http://www.344pounds.com">www.344pounds.com</a>.</p>
<p>More to come, and look for the changes on site design to be happening very soon (might have already happened depending on when you read this).</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/rss-comments-entry-5214430.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Windows 7</title><category>Windows 7</category><dc:creator>Juncti</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2009 16:12:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/2009/5/22/windows-7.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">340902:3604577:4061050</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Well my primary computer kinda got FUBAR'd a little bit (hence the absence). The Vista install I was running became pretty unstable so I was left with no choice (and it had been a while so it probably needed it) but to slash and burn. Re-install time.</p>
<p>Then an idea hit me, I had been testing out Windows 7 RC for a little bit on an underpowered laptop by Vista standards (runs awesome on that BTW) but really have had the urge to at least dual boot my primary system so I could really kick the tires.</p>
<p>So what if, instead of re-installing Vista...........</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/rss-comments-entry-4061050.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Human Locusts – Free Stampedes!</title><category>Stupid People</category><dc:creator>Juncti</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2009 16:23:06 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/2009/5/7/human-locusts-free-stampedes.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">340902:3604577:3913115</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>What is it with people going nuts for these free promotions lately?</p>
<p>Just in the past few months I can recall people going nuts for the Denny&rsquo;s free breakfast, then problems with a Popeye&rsquo;s chicken promotion, and now the KFC Grilled Chicken / Oprah fiasco.</p>
<p>I just don&rsquo;t get why people will wait in line for hours, or drive so far out of their way they use more in gas than the cost of the meal. Do people value their time so little?</p>
<p>It doesn&rsquo;t even have to be a free situation, it can just be a deal (or perceived deal), like the &ldquo;Black Friday&rdquo; ads. People have literally been hospitalized and killed by the massive flock of people that show up to get these bargains.</p>
<p>Am I missing something? Let me know in the comments, which are of course free ;)</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/rss-comments-entry-3913115.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Rude F'ing People!</title><category>Rant</category><category>Rude People</category><dc:creator>Juncti</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2009 22:55:43 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/2009/5/6/rude-fing-people.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">340902:3604577:3908896</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">This is more of a rant but we&rsquo;ll see how it goes.</p>

<p>The power of the almighty asterisk seems to completely nullify the false advertising regulations.</p>
<p>As long as a company includes that magical asterisk, they can shove some fine print anywhere they want.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/rss-comments-entry-3895433.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>More content coming soon</title><dc:creator>Juncti</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2009 17:38:47 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/2009/5/4/more-content-coming-soon.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">340902:3604577:3887150</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Silly me starting a blog site while trying to finish work on my house.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now the area where I work has limited selections in driving distance. There&rsquo;s a number of sit down restaurants, but you&rsquo;d be hard pressed to get in and out during a normal lunch time and I typically take short lunches anyway (usually consisting of picking something up and eating at my desk while working). <span>&nbsp;</span>I&rsquo;ve got no clue what to get, then I stumble onto <a href="http://digg.com/television/Chuck_s_Zachary_Levi_leads_600_fans_to_Subway_to_save_show">the following</a> in the Entertainment section of Digg.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/rss-comments-entry-3819308.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>New Orleans Insanity - Fake Rush Hour Robbery</title><category>New Orleans Insanity</category><dc:creator>Juncti</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:11:42 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/2009/4/21/new-orleans-insanity-fake-rush-hour-robbery.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">340902:3604577:3752366</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Just saw this one pop up. This takes place in Covington which is on the Northshore of the lake. Still consider it the "Greater New Orleans Area" though.</p>
<p>Apparently some teens working on a school project movie arranged with one of their dad's to film a scene for the movie at the dad's jewelry store.</p>
<p>So the kids get there, put on the ski masks and grab the weapons they had planned on using and run in, hold the place up, all that good stuff. Problem is someone sees this going on and alerts the cops.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.scattershotmind.com/scattered-thoughts/rss-comments-entry-3752366.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
