Heads up, courtesy of <lj user=”jackola”>

“Here’s an important heads up …
Yesterday a friend voted early at a polling location in Austin. She voted straight Democratic. When she did the final check, lo and behold every vote was for the Democratic candidates except that it showed she had voted for Bush/Cheney for president/vice pres.
She immediately got a poll official. On her vote, it was corrected.
She called the Travis County Democratic headquarters. They took all her information, and told her that she wasn’t the first to report a similar incident and that they are looking into it. So check before you leave the polling booth, and if anything is wrong, get it corrected immediately. Report any irregularities to your local Democratic headquarters. Make sure you pass this along to your friends … hopefully this is all over the airwaves by tomorrow …
The Texas voting fraud is for real. I called the Austin office (Dem. Nat. Comm.) 512-637-1737 and they said that it has been happening a lot. They don’t know why but the machines seem more “sensitive” this year and that every voter MUST check their summary as the presidential choice often rolls over to the republican choice if you vote straight democrat.”
Lame update alert!

I was bored.

A new incarnation of Unadopted’s eternal “there’s nothing here” page.
I really should do something with that site.
Having said that, that page is cool.
Ugh, tired. And people are noisy outside.

Slashdot got Slashdotted?

I can’t get to Slashdot… I just get “503 Unavailable” error (meaning “Server Too Busy”).
Who managed to Slashdot Slashdot?!
Uni!
Author: Aaron B. Russell12 Oct
Okay, well… been at uni for just over a week now.
It’s very different from anything I’ve done before. Everyone here is so nice. You can just randomly talk to anyone, and they’ll talk back. There doesn’t seem to be an issue of “Oh, I can’t talk to them! They’ll think I’m a weirdo if I go up to them and randomly talk to them”. You can just talk to anyone.
My flatmates (Caroline, Beca, Gary, Zhai, Vicki, Ross and Adrian) are all really nice as are the other hordes of people I’ve met.
A couple of nights ago I was called in to Caroline’s room to check her computer was okay, only to discover this (really bad) photo as her wallpaper. I guess they found my LiveJournal. Impressive work.
But yeah. Stuff is just going really well. :)
