I have often wondered what would happen if there were a “You must be smarter than this stick to ride the Internet” rule that was enforced.
Anyway, Monday was much less exciting than it could have been.  I got 80% of the remaining problem solved very quickly once I got in to work.  In post-mortem dissection, [...]

I hate it when technical problems show up late on a Sunday night.
Immediately after I’d left Kelli’s house, I got a page from work. There were very few details. I had to drive home without knowing what had happened and expecting the worst. I was able to solve most of the problems [...]

Western pig! This has nothing to do with the entry, actually.
Didn’t do much Saturday. Spilled orange juice on the floor (always fun), didn’t go to the Ren Faire, ran into bizarre problems after trying to update the software on my desktop box, then did laundry and grocery shopping. Today should be more [...]

Not even Google gets everything right. I saw this yesterday while everyone was talking about traffic in Phoenix and how to avoid the worst of it. I wonder if or when they’ll fix it.
They want to change the way mail is handled at work.  It won’t be insanely difficult, but we decided that [...]

This picture has nothing to do with much of anything.
Trivia: We were Trevor-less. Everyone else was there, though. We heard of Kelli’s latest adventure, which was too long to relate here, but inspired our team name, “Granny and Cougar’s Dude Ranch.” John got yelled at for that. Spencer’s involved in [...]

The big excitement on Monday was learning that the parent company is in bad enough shape that they’re having a second round of furcation for everyone; a “furcation squared”. I still don’t know when I’m taking mine. Maybe in late April or early May. I can deal with the short paycheck—I’ve been [...]

So on Sunday, I made a lasagna. However, I didn’t notice that I only had 11 lasagna noodles until I had made the sauce and it was too late to buy more noodles. So instead of a noodle, I trimmed a couple of corn tortillas to fit and used those. It seemed [...]

If a store like this existed, I think it’d be even more popular than Ikea.
The big excitement on Saturday was me getting a webcam and figuring out how to use it. That was much less difficult than it seemed, mostly because I was using xawtv to test whether it was working, and xawtv is [...]
