Blog: NJ Transit

Cheers to Duncan Black of Atrios, who not only gave Drinking Liberally its first big break by linking to it a year ago, but who was continued to tell liberals across America all about it since.

Jeers (just mild jeers) to Sex and the City, which I started watching in reruns around the last or second-to-last season, and loved; but now that TBS has wrapped around to the first season, I think it's stupid and shallow. What that says about me, you decide. I'll have to keep watching though just in the hope that it goes back to being good sooner rather than later.

Cheers to cygwin, which I just installed for the first time, and wow, it's amazing! Now I can ssh remotely into my desktop from my laptop! If you don't know what cygwin is, you probably wouldn't care, anyway.

Jeers to New Jersey Transit, which seems to always have about four ticket windows open at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, each with ten to twenty or more people waiting at each to buy tickets. With such a large operation, is it really that cost prohibitive have enough ticket sellers for the customers? I want to convert my TransitCheck to bus tickets but I have to find a time I'm willing to wait in line half an hour. Update: 1 pm Saturday, still 4 windows and 10 people per line... 8 pm Saturday, still only four windows open, but short lines! Woo hoo!

And speaking of cheers, two New England Patriots cheerleaders visited Google New York last night, brought in by Tim, our head of sales, as the upshot of a bet he made with another sales guy, but though Tim, actually won, the other guy (Dan) didn't pay up in a timely way, and... I didn't understand it either. Bottom line, there were girls in skimpy American flag outfits in the office taking pictures and signing autographs.

Happy Fourth of July.
