I wish I got paid that much to do nothing...

I wasn't doing nothing, sheesh, like I said I was working and just happened to notice this - seriously. ;-)

... wow.. nice story tom.. lol

nah thats cool.. when im kinda bored at work.. i do crazy stuff.. and find out something is really stinkin cool about it.. but i dont tell anyone.. cuz its completely random.. and i look like a dork

.. at least you got guts ^_^

Cool--I should project that on my classroom wall so my students will fear me rather than hate me.
I wish you had a picture of your face when you discovered this--I bet it would be pretty funny :)

i doubt anyone can say ur a nerd for doing that cause 99% of the people who read this will probably do it too....i just shined mine on my tower...very cool discovery.

NUTS.
(but in a good way)

I think that this discovery is more frightening than cool. Its like when everyone thought that rock and roll music was sending subliminal messages, and you could hear them if you played their records backwards. I liken the optical mouse eye of sauron to that.

Disregard. That was not my true opinion. I actually think that optical mouse eye is really neat.

Wow . . . sounds like you get a lot done at work. And your mind works in rather strange ways. But that's cool.

Hey! That's pretty neat! I regularly play w/my mouse, but I've never been able to figure out what the red light looks like. The eye of Sauron! Why didn't I think of it?!!! ;-)

that is so cool. did you see that nebula that NASA found that looked like the eye? it was AWESOME!!!! i wish i still had the link id send it to you. but that is so cool!

The fact that you discovered this is alone enough to disprove that you were actually working.

Saw Firewall tonight... GREAT movie... especially right in the beginning when he's doing some programming- its a cisco router interface.. I've had my fair share of those.

Very cool - I want to see that movie.

dude... that's AWESOME!!!! I have one of those mouses too... only it's green... hey! the eye of sauron at christmas!!!! =D

so what exactly is your job? and do these types of revelations occur often? XD

well, have an awesome weekend!

I'm sure that's how the guys making the movie came up with what the eye of sauron should look like. The guy (or gal) was sitting there and was all like, "what on earth should it look like!?" And out of frustration of not being able to come up with something picked up his optical mouse to hurl it across the room and looked up just in time to see the projection on the wall. Eurika! haha, or maybe not. ;) Keep your smile ~Sugar igapocimm

oh, I like that hypothesis... =D

mmm also, in the beginning of the movie, they have ethereal running- a packet capturing tool.

On a side note, an intrusion prevention system has been installed on the AP/s at school. Say for instance that you had ethereal running, this is what the APs would do to your computer.

1) DoS your computer
2) Install a trojan on your computer that removed 'gcc' from your seeable wireless networks
3) disable your nic and ban your mac address from the network.

Not only is it awesome in theory, we've had to unregister mac addresses from the blacklist already.

mmm also, the girl from 24 is in firewall, and one of the funniest lines she gets to say. I'm sure her tv persona has wanted to say this many times.

And I quote (censored due to a fastener reference which is similar to a nail or staple in application):
"*forget* you Jack!!!"

HT, you don't think that you are stretching that one just a bit? I mean, yeah it is a circular light with a higher focused center, but so?

I won't ruin your fun. WOW, that looks like the Eye of Sauron!

On a side note, Yes, I did pick up my mouse to see the same thing. :)

soo.. my mouse at work doesnt make that. it makes more like a butterfly lookin image.. stupid mouse..

and it flashes when you pick it up.. so i have a strobe light.. of a butterfly.. i guess thats cool

>Shanna

oh dear....Tom, you have too much time on your hands to discover something like that...I love lotr too, but...ok, so it sorta looks like the eye, I'll give you that...but the eye was never pink, and that picture distinctly looks pink...-Leah

To the person above me: what if the person looking at it was color blind? then they couldn't tell the difference, could they? sure, the one on the left might be a little blurry to them, but they'd be fooled just the same... =P

ya know, I thought I alreadt stated that I wanted my own domain, ht, but I am currently broke... and whatever happened to giving me pointers? =D

It does kindof look pink but if you saw it on my wall you wouldn't think so...it's just the low quality camera phone action that did that.

Perhaps I'll run the picture through a filter tonight when I get home and make it look more like what it should.

filters are awesome! I use them for picture editing since I don't have anything better than MS paint to use... XP

[/randomness]

domains are just a few bucks now. I'd recommend godaddy.com for prices, but not for tv commercial content.

agreed - just transfered there myself in fact.

but my overall estimate was based on paying 30-50 bucks per year for hosting service. Although I do believe sites like GoDaddy offer cheaper rates for people who don't want to go as full board as I do. Personally I like the control I have, and I don't want to have someone else run the stuff on my site.

yup... I want full control of my site...

That's almost funny. I was here at your site while you were at mine! :) And yes, with my utter dislike of V Day, I can handle it when looking from that perspective.
