Fri, 22 May 2009 Show notes coming soon - I swear this time! The laptop is acting up and I'm lucky to have gotten this far. Does anyone know what "kernel panic" means?? Comments[4] |
I agree with Susie...there are references to "barleycorn" in Shakespeare and the like and I gather that the word "corn" refers to the seed of cereal crops. The British refer to what we call corn as maize. Corn was developed in the Americas by first peoples who selectively bred it from native grasses and did not come to Europe until post-contact times. As for "kernel panic"...doesn't sound good. Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic.
Love your podcast - and congrats on finishing your degree...I remember well how that day felt when I was so out of there. Caio for now ....I'm "Done, done-done-done, done-done-done, done-done-done... Too funny!

A kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover; the term is largely specific to Unix and Unix-like systems. The equivalent in Microsoft Windows operating systems is the Blue Screen of Death.

Hi Tika,
Thanks for your response and I wanted to let you know that I had almost an entire 45 minutes uninterrupted in which to listen to your most recent podcast and really wanted to leave a comment regarding your "rant."
I totally loved it. My DH is a self-employed machinist and has always believed that if you're going to spend your time and $s doing anything that you should get paid for it. In one way I disagree with him as I love my “hobbies” (i.e., I don’t sell my yarn or finished objects), however, there are things that he does where people balk at his price. Part of the reason, I believe, for people not wanting to pay for things is because of the "big box" stores such as Wal-Mart. Also, my father reminded me one time (after weaving a set of placemats as a wedding present), that some folks who get hand-crafted items as gifts don't appreciate the value of the item and think that if it's not store bought, it's cheesy.
Having said all that, I'll attach my DH's Etsy site only because the experience he wrote of was when he lived in Gilroy. http://www.slstudios.etsy.com

P.S. Congratulations on your graduation. It took me until age 55 (and 8 colleges) to finally get my BS in E-Business Management. My daughter only beat me by 6 months :-P
