My movie finished just as DC was starting. Is perfect!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:03:11 PM
Nice!
Jason DiVirgilio 3:06:28 PM
We need a "24 hours of the best of 2024" show.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:08:15 PM

Captain Ahab (host) 3:08:19 PM
hey Jason!
Jon Solomon 3:16:26 PM
The 1973 version of The Day of the Jackal. Love having a library system with a great Blu ray disc collection!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:18:07 PM
nice
TAndy 3:20:01 PM

Debbie Fullerton 3:50:01 PM
Enjoying this fine radio program! 😁 How is Doctor life?
Captain Ahab (host) 3:53:20 PM
It's alright, semester starts next week so back in the classroom, could use a proper break but alas!
.Fräncis 3:57:05 PM
that Truckfighers riff is pretty awesome
Mike Tropiano 3:58:08 PM
Proofreaing never stops!
Mike Tropiano 3:58:16 PM
See?
Debbie Fullerton 3:58:27 PM
300 pages! Whoah! Yes, you need a break afterwards
.Fräncis 3:59:53 PM
Just started listening to the band Dopethrone - any album recs?
Mike Tropiano 4:00:30 PM
Actual question today... "Are the quizzes gonna be like last semester?" Me: "In what way?" , "Like they were last semester, like hard."
Captain Ahab (host) 4:03:32 PM
lol
Captain Ahab (host) 4:05:17 PM
@Francis: Check out Hochelaga
Captain Ahab (host) 4:05:23 PM
their most solid release methinks
Jon Solomon 4:05:53 PM
Went for a (very cold and not especially long) run during SLIFT.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:06:08 PM
some of these typos like formatting errors I SWEAR I fixed, I think they returned in the kerfuffle between sending drafts to my advisor, very very annoying and feels like Word is gaslighting me
Debbie Fullerton 4:16:29 PM
This Free Ride song is awesome
Mike Tropiano 4:19:49 PM
I've experienced similar things with Word. Microsoft is evil (but what big computer/software/consumer electronics company isn't?
Bud Burroughs 4:23:12 PM
I once modified a coworkers Word app to silently "autocorrect" certain words to be misspelled (including his own name). It was good fun for the rest of us :)
Mike Tropiano 4:26:00 PM
Evil
.Fräncis 4:26:42 PM
Hah - I wrote up an orthopedic research paper, and the senior surgeon had me do 13 rewrites. Sometimes he'd make changes back to the previous change.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:28:14 PM
that would drive me up a wall
Jason DiVirgilio 4:29:05 PM
Evil @Bud...send it to me. hahah.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:29:37 PM
TURN IT UP EVEN MOAR
.Fräncis 4:29:50 PM
Eventually I showed him the old drafts and evidence of his vacillation , and he laughed, and made one more change and we got it published.
Bud Burroughs 4:30:57 PM
@Jason, all you gotta do is wait for someone to leave their computer unattended, then go into Word's "Autocorrect Options..." and set up whatever fun corrections you want.
Bud Burroughs 4:31:34 PM
My coworker finally realized something was up when I set it up to correct "the" to "the f***ing"
Jason DiVirgilio 4:32:59 PM
ahhh...devilish.
Jason DiVirgilio 4:34:26 PM
Burning Down gets the head banging.
Bud Burroughs 4:36:01 PM
So much good music from 2024!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:41:12 PM
was hard to choose!
Bud Burroughs 4:42:11 PM
I'd forgotten that there was a new High On Fire record that I haven't gotten around to listening to
Captain Ahab (host) 4:44:29 PM
oh you are in for a treat!

Mike Tropiano 4:49:05 PM
Thought I'd share a fun picture for all.
Brian D 4:50:19 PM
Great show today Dr Ahab as usual! Hope to hear you on the airwaves again. Enjoy!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:50:59 PM
think that fb pic might be private
Captain Ahab (host) 4:51:05 PM
Thanks Brian!
Mike Tropiano 4:51:34 PM
No, It's mine.
Bud Burroughs 4:52:04 PM
@Mike I'm also getting "Sorry, this content isn't available right now"
Mike Tropiano 4:52:12 PM
I'll delete it though, sorry.
Mike Tropiano 4:52:48 PM
I just deleted it.
Mike Tropiano 4:53:58 PM
Sorry. Thanks again for the great music. Happy trails.
Brian D 4:55:10 PM
Rewind : I just discovered many of the company's part numbers (possibly hundreds more?) had misspellings (yes there are 2 "s"s there!) for many components within each part number's description. Someone must have copypasta'd a big ol batch of prefixes that had one letter subbed for another and it just spread like a letter rash hahha. Reported it and someone with permissions did a few replace clicks...fixed! Some other fixes are still ongoing. Glad I caught that. It would have caused customs probs
Captain Ahab (host) 4:58:09 PM
reckless find&replace is such a headache to fix!
Debbie Fullerton 4:58:10 PM
Good luck tonight! Thanks for the tunes 🤘
Brian D 4:58:35 PM
GUITHARMONIES!!! Love them twin guit parts. The tone here is so early 80s love it
Captain Ahab (host) 4:59:34 PM
thanks for tuning in friends, here's to an equally musicaly epic 2025
Brian D 4:59:48 PM
Ya 24 sure was good in the fuzz world
