Ryan Kanno: The diary of an Enginerd in HawaiiEverything you’ve ever thought, but never had the balls to say. |
I know some of you (Tom) have been waiting for Part 3. Though not as funny as the previous two, still pretty damn good. So without further adieu…
Click on the above area to start the video.
I normally never post twice in a single day, but this MTV reality show is so hilarious, I just had to blog about it. Basically, it’s about the life of Rob Dyrdek, a professional skateboarder, his trusty 6′6″, 400+ lb. bodyguard, Christopher Boykins, aka “Big Black”, and their bulldog “Meaty”.
Even though the season finale was last Thursday, remember now, this is MTV. That means you can watch the replays for at least another 6-9 months.
Just to give you an idea of how hilarious these episodes are… in the season finale, Big Black puts the “ham” aka his bare @$$ on Rob’s sleeping cousin’s head. In the process of doing so, Rob catches a glimpse of something stuck between Big Black’s @$$ cheeks. Big Black explains it’s his “manpon” that he needs because the previous night he had gorged some 40 buffalo wings.
His man-what?
“Manpon”
Having never heard the term, I figured I’d hit up my favorite website, and this is what they had to say:
Manpon
cool, soothing, moist, absorbent towelette that is place carefully between arse cheeks after a hard night of drinking and four or more bathroom visits.
Apparently, as Big Black put it, he had the case of “mudd butt” and needed a folded piece of tissue placed in his underwear in the case of a “shart” - an unexpected surprise when you laugh or fart.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha. I swear I couldn’t stop laughing for 15 minutes.
In any case, check out a few of their previews on youtube and make sure to catch their replays on MTV!
I’ve finally decided to switch my mail server over to Google Apps. Since I have all of ‘1‘ user on my domain - I figure it should be now or never. Seeing how my last Google experience was FUBAR’ed, I figured this would be another annoyingly painful process.
Yet, to my amazement, it was quite simple.
After signing up my domain, the first thing I had to do was verify that I was the owner. The verification process consisted of uploading a unique html document to the root of my domain. Contained within the document was a unique key that identified to Googs that I was indeed the domain’s owner. After FTP’ing the html document, I went back to Google Apps and indicated that I was ready for the verification process. Once verified, I was allowed to move my mail servers over.
Since my email was hosted on Dreamhost, in order to prevent an interruption in email service, the first thing I did was to create the exact same accounts I had on Dreamhost over on Google’s servers. That way, when my mail servers were finally switched over, all emails in transit would still be delivered to the right inbox.
To actually change my mail servers, I had to edit my Dreamhost MX record to point to Google App’s mail server. Googs even provided Dreamhost specific instructions to accomplish this task.
Nice.
After changing the MX record, I configured each account to allow POP access. Since I’m a Thunderbird user, I followed these instructions. After configuring Thunderbird, I clicked on ‘Get All Mail‘ and…
Voila!
On a difficulty scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most difficult, I’d rate this process of moving your domain over to Google Apps a 3. Not only that, but there were quite a number of other features like enabling Google Calendar, Google Start Page, and Google Talk for my domain.
Good job Googs!
I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Or as we say here in the islands, Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Hopefully, y’all were good little boys and girls and received everything you’ve ever wanted.
And as a special Christmas present to everyone, Gdawg pointed me to this video on youtube.
A few more of the Spring 2003 University of Hawai`i MBA entering class graduated this past winter. Though I’m happy that we’re all finally graduating, it’s sad to realize that we’ll all soon be moving on with our lives.
A big ups to Melissa, Susan, Michelle, Chad, Roger, Hongchay, Bob, Pamela, Denis, and Mana - may you enjoy great successes in all your future endeavors! (and don’t forget about me, damnit.)
