Drawn by the fine folks at Sore Thumbs (which might be too suggestive for your workplace, actually.) They were having a blood drive at work on Wednesday. So I donated. It wasn’t insanely difficult or painful, but it did take longer than I expected. And after they were finished and I walked over to the [...]

What is it about bacon that makes people and cats love it so much? Trivia: Was badly attended, we were short about 5 people. But what the heck. Spencer is now working at an art supply store, which should be good for him. There were a ton of sports questions, which made us wish that [...]

Continuing with the whole French sub-theme here. Not a whole lot to report from Monday. Something stupid happened right before I left, of course, but we were able to fix it such that everything should be OK until tomorrow morning. I still don’t know anything about the Solaris box. Well, when it shows up, I [...]

I don’t know how they got this picture. Maybe it’s better not to know. Not a whole lot to report. Well, last Thursday, Bill said that he knew both Chris and I were at least partially fluent in French. Bill then wanted to hear us talk in French. So we tried, and at least partially [...]

ARRRRRRRGH.  People can be such complete idiots sometimes that I fear for the future of humanity. Yesterday, I went to the gun show with Juan and Zach and Roger. I was waiting at the front of a very crowded booth for the sales guy to be available. An older guy was also waiting to my [...]

Another fox. What the heck. At work on Wednesday, fixed some things, put out some minor fires, and scheduled some stuff which I hope will be useful for later on this month. Then went over to Steve’s for dinner and Linux stuff. Fajitas and doing a bunch of things with postfix were on the agenda. [...]

Fennec foxes get all the attention. Finished Door Number Three a few days ago. It had a very interesting twist at the end. However, I don’t think that anything, even the “*BLAM* all the bad guys have had all their plans seriously messed with” end could have the effects on humanity that the author talked [...]

So on Monday, I got out of the house at the usual time, walked to the bus stop, and the bus was about 5 minutes early. I was on the corner waiting for the light to turn green, as crossing any of Phoenix’s major streets against the green is almost suicidal. The driver waited for [...]
