I had this post all written up and lost it all by absent mindedly upgrading WordPress at the same time. Which, on a side note, I’m very happy with. The automatic update seems to work pretty well now, along with updating the plugins I have installed. The process was flawless. So anyway, this is supposed [...]
It’s not technique — it’s what you have to say. I got the mumps. They threw me in a crib so I wouldn’t roll out onto the floor. And there’s a big bay window in my house, and that window stayed perfectly still until that train started to chug. At a certain speed, I could [...]
what i couldn’t, or didn’t, say: thanks for hangin out, you were a good roommate though we had our battles. best of luck. i’m proud of you, as should everyone else be.
UPDATE: The siren was the gay-dar going off. LOL So the hallmark of the night was an interesting situation. Allow me to preface the story by adding that whilst standing in front of porcelain urinal, I heard a siren, like I would hear at The Oak Bar in Wyandotte when the Red Wings scored. I [...]

So yeah. I basically hosed both my home system and my workstation at work. Apparently Fedora 9 uses a prerelease version of X (1.499999999 something ridiculous) that uses some ABI crap I’ve never heard of. Anyway, I use nVidia drivers both at home and at work, and now both are trashed. So at work, I’m [...]

I just read a great, inspiring story on Yahoo! News about a World War II fighter pilot who was shot down over New Britain (close to New Guineau). He survived the crash, 10 days in the jungle alone, until the natives rescued him and slowly nursed him back to health. Years later, at 91, he [...]

So after a bit of haggling with Comcast over their installation fees, I’m finally get Comcast installed in my apartment. Initially they wanted to charge me $70 to have someone come out, swap some wires around, and setup Comcast’s crappy e-mail and other bloatware on my system. I want to see the look on the [...]
