Punding.
I would like to thank Mike for making me aware of the existence of this word.
Punding is a term that was coined originally to describe complex prolonged, purposeless, and stereotyped behavior in chronic amphetamine users ...
... compulsive fascination with and performance of repetitive, mechanical tasks
...
- building hundreds of small wooden boxes
- trying but failing to systematically remove the entire contents of all the drawers and shelves in the home and sort through all their contents.
This is scarily like me, of course minus the amphetamine part. I often find myself looking at my desk, noticing things out of place, putting them in random drawers(Most likely due to my Small OCD with the tidiness of my desk). The problem with this is that later during a bored spell, I feel compelled to organize my desk drawers, only to find that they look almost as messy as they did before I started! Is there a cure for this? Would this be considered an illness? Can someone tell me, why must I feel compelled to clean my drawers, book cases, and T.V. stand, when all I do is put the same items that were already in there in a completely random way, not making any improvements at all?
I wonder if there are any groups dedicated to this problem..
Im amazed.
These kids(15 and under at the time) do an excellent job at playing a song from Peter Frampton..
Another one bites the dust!

Penis Panic.
Scary!!!!!
Koro is one of a number of names for a hysterical condition known medically as Genital Retraction Syndrome, whose victims become convinced that their genitals are disappearing into their bodies. It can be contagious, sparking off "penis panics", such as the one that overtook Singapore in 1967 in which thousands of men became convinced that their penises were being stolen; it was contained by a complete media blackout on the condition. Often blamed on witchcraft, Koro typically strikes in less developed parts of the world, including Africa and Asia, where belief in sorcery remains strong. It's thought to be an extreme overreaction to normal genital shrinking from cold or other causes. Koro can be treated with medical reassurance and anti-anxiety medications.

This is a cool looking tool! I always hated how Microsoft did their scheduled tasks. If you want to make it a lot more admin friendly give this little gem a try.

Deleting an instance of SQL Server 2005
I had an issue the other day of an database in SQL Server 2005 not removing itself after an uninstall of a certain piece of software. When I tried to reinstall this software it would not because, there was another copy of the database on the system.
Here is the guide on how to remove those pesky databases that fail to get removed.
