Star Wars Sickout

“The New York Post reports that it will cost employers $628,880,000 in lost productivity on the first two days of Star Wars Episode III - Return of the Sith . How many of you are planning to skip at least part of your workday on the first two days?”

What geeks.
I mean its just another F’ing movie, its not worth leaving work. Also, how does a million geeks equal $628 Million dollars of productivity?… They just put starwars figures on their cubicles and download DivX videos of the last Episode on the company’s backbone.

Update on the Google Web Accelerator

May 9th, 2005

Google has stopped the distribution of their accelerator due to too many people got it. It is a beta product though and works fine. :)

Google’s own pagerank algorithm bit them in their ass, and the download is available here: http://webaccelerator.google.com/GoogleWebAcceleratorSetup.msi (its a 2nd result for the Google Search “Google Web Accelerator download”. It has been a little laggy, but overall works well. So far I saved 43.5 Minutes.

At work, I have a lot of available time. (see my older post, ‘Call Center Life, lack thereof‘)
