I have been at home for 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 23 seconds. Before that, I was asleep.

if you are connecting to the internet via a modem click here to
see if it has the the +++ATH0 bug or not. You can read more about this
sillyness at this respectable
site.
Why does this still work? Because people were stupid
and did not provide an escape for the escape sequence '+++'
which would be used on all transmitted data. This is common
knowledge: if you want to make '+++' mean something special,
you have to make it so normal applications can still transmit '+++'
without having that special meaning activated. Ug.
SGML and HTML do this: if you want to write a '<' symbol (which
normally would be interpreted as meaning a tag) you write
<. And to write the '&' in < you write
'&. It's messy, but it works.

Here's an
interesting article on why working for Wal-Mart is evil.
Essentially you're disallowed unions, work for more than
28 hours a week and other such obvious benefits.

If you can read this text, you're either on a browser that doesn't support CSS or one that supports it badly. You've probably noticed that my layout is a bit choppy and perhaps even ugly. My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
